T-Mobile Hires Corey Lewandowski to Help Sell Merger to Trump – Everything is for sale – including competition, jobs, democracy…
T-Mobile has hired former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to help the company gain regulatory approval for its $23 billion merger with Sprint. The looming merger has been blocked several times by regulators already because it would not only eliminate anywhere from 10 to 30,000 jobs but would dramatically reduce incentive for the remaning three large wireless carriers to seriously compete on price.

Britain doesn’t just glorify its violent past: it gets high on it | Afua Hirsch
British racism, is still racism even if a tiny bit less brutal than the Belgians, Germans, Japanese. Most of the people transported into slavery from what is now thought of as Africa, were transported to North, Central and South America in British and French ships.

The defensive, patriotic narrative of empire has become a drug. Like all addicts, those hooked on it cannot stomach critique
It feels like I live in the middle of a culture war. On one side is a kind of state-sponsored amnesia. It’s pervasive. It’s an Oscar-winning movie perpetuating the idea that Winston Churchill stood alone, at the Darkest Hour, as Nazi fascism encroached, with Britain a small and vulnerable nation isolated in the north Atlantic. In reality the United Kingdom was at that moment an imperial power with the collective might of Indian, African, Canadian and Australian manpower, resources and wealth at its disposal.
It’s also Poland passing a law so that errant historians, survivors or Auschwitz guides who raise the inconvenient fact of Polish complicity in atrocities now risk up to three years’ imprisonment. It’s Tennessee in the US legislating against the removal of Confederate statues when, as the former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu puts it, they “purposefully celebrate a fictional, sanitised Confederacy; ignoring the death, ignoring the enslavement, and the terror that it actually stood for”.
