While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.
But the launch of GB News and Talk TV coincided with Ofcom's leadership drastically watering down enforcement of its "broadcasting code", and giving these channels a free pass to spread climate falsehoods with impunity... /2
