Prime Day is This Week. Here’s Why You Should Stop Using Amazon
"Here are five reasons that you should stop supporting Amazon with your money and purchases.
1. Amazon Is An Enemy of Civil Rights
Do you believe that black lives matter? Do you think police have too much funding, too little oversight, are a tool of an oppressive regime, and/or are a private police force for the rich to keep the poor and minorities in line? Well guess what: up until 2020 Amazon proudly sold their facial recognition software (called “Rekognition”) to law enforcement agencies all cross the country. Like every other facial recognition software out there, this system was notoriously bad at accurately identifying minorities, mainly people of color and women (if you have Netflix, there's a whole movie about this called Coded Bias, I highly recommend it). Amazon only stopped for PR reasons at the start of the George Floyd protests, and even then they only issued a “one-year moratorium.... "

Prime Day is This Week. Here’s Why You Should Stop Using Amazon
"Amazon’s now-legendary “Prime Day” is July 11-12. Boy that sneaks up on you fast when you avoid them and don't have ads in your life. Much like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, this means sales on lots of items on Amazon’s vast marketplace, and as such many people flock to the giant’s website to get sweet deals on everything from computers to small kitchen appliances and more. But this year – as with all years, hence why this repost – I urge you to resist the allure. Far be it from me to compel you by force what you to spend your money on or where, but in this week’s post I hope to lay out a convincing case for everyone for why Amazon is full-stop evil, no caveats, and is undeserving of your money on a moral and ethical level. Amazon needs to be stopped, and legislation will not do so."

Kletteraktion am East Side Edge Tower (‚Amazon Tower‘) Warschauer Straße, #Berlin #b2804
"Seit 18 Uhr zeigt eine Kundgebung des Bündnisses ‚Berlin vs. Amazon‘ am Wahnsinns-Bauprojekt des sog. ‚Amazon Tower‘, dass der Konzern in Berlin nicht willkommen ist. In einer breiten Front stellen sich Anwohner:innen, Arbeitnehmer:innen und politisch Bewegte gegen den Konzern und setzten somit ein Zeichen für Arbeitsrechte, Umwelt, Gemeinschaft und Zukunft.
Um 19 Uhr gab es begleitend an der Nordseite des Towers einen ‚Banner-Drop‘. Dafür kletterten zwei Personen am Gerüst in die Höhe und breiteten ein 10 Meter langes Transparent mit der Aufschrift „FIGHT THE TOWER“ aus.
Während die Welt von Mega-Konzernen um uns herum errichtet wird, werden die Menschen, die in ihr leben müssen, immer weiter abgehängt. Wer abgehängt wird, kann auch mal ein Banner aufhängen!"
