Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

"We believe his detention is politically motivated because of his organizing in the farmworker and immigrant community. We believe he was targeted. The way that ICE detained him was meant to intimidate."

As Marx said when an economic organization of society ends it either ends in common ruin or a revolutionary reconstitution of society. If we do not build socialism in the face of this it will be a massive tragedy and loss of life.

Great that, when it comes to punishing the poor and disabled, Starmer is all "We must make these hard choices for the good of the country". But when it comes time to stand up to the fascists trying to crater the world economy it's "Yes sir, thank you sir, may I have another". Useless government.

The more I see the specialty coffee industry floundering in the face of combatting systemic oppression and inequality from seed to cup, the more convinced I become that a global labor organizing is necessary.

I saw this comment on LinkedIn underneath a post decrying the appointment and, lol come on. "Keeping labor from being exploited is what industry has policed often far better than local governments".

If the 2010s were marked by techno-solutionism, then the 2020s might be the decade of "natural solutionism". Both are flawed, disdain the regulatory state, and in both "expertise is treated as suspect, corrupt, or altogether illegitimate, with anecdotes and mantras replacing verifiable data"

With the news that the government is going to offer US tech firms tax breaks as a way to placate Trump, it really seems as though the UK is just heading full steam into this shitty digital future.

Apparently Gen Z are the nostalgic generation, enjoying vintage clothes, music, and even analogue tech like the humble VHS. Now it seems they're also into retro coffee, embracing their grandparents' favourites like instant coffee and flavoured creamers. That and the other coffee news👇 #CoffeeSky

Another attempt at distilling everything that's going on through the lens of coffee. This time, a look at how Trump's border crackdown, combined with the Texas legislature's anti-trans mania, have put people off attending the SCA's Expo trade show in Houston next month. #CoffeeSky

The UK Labour government is plunging 250,000 people into poverty with their cruel cuts. Poverty isn't inevitable, it's a political choice. It's time for real change. It's time to tax the rich.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

This week's coffee news roundup includes people improving others' lives: opening a late-night coffee cart, for example, or detecting stones in coffee grinders with audio waves. Plus, some lobbying against tariffs, and how coffee could—ever so slightly—reduce risk of developing tinnitus: #CoffeeSky
