i’m perfectly willing to believe that vice has some shitlord editors but i’m not really seeing where they revealed anything about her that she didn’t agree to, other than discussing her need for anonymity and her refusal itself

she’d have a point about being asked about things that a man never would, except that the misogyny she’s experienced is a big part of the story

it really feels like there’s something missing here

They also got her Twitter account “limited” for 12 hours because she “released private information on a user”. I believe that’s @vice responding to her releasing the correspondence. That’s in addition to getting her income nuked so she has to scramble for freelance coding.

According to sources, Trump wants the Post Office to increase Amazon’s shipping costs. When Trump previously discussed the idea inside the White Hose, Gary Cohn had explained that Amazon is a benefit to the Postal Service, which has seen mail volume plummet in the age of e-mail. “Trump doesn’t have Gary Cohn breathing down his neck saying you can’t do the Post Office poo poo,” a Republican close to the White House said. “He really wants the Post Office deal renegotiated. He thinks Amazon’s getting a huge loving deal on shipping.”

Advisers are also encouraging Trump to cancel Amazon’s pending multi-billion contract with the Pentagon to provide cloud computing services, sources say. Another line of attack would be to encourage attorneys general in red states to open investigations into Amazon’s business practices. Sources say Trump is open to the ideas. (The White House did not respond to a request for comment.)
