Tell @VogueArabia that when it falsely presents royal princesses as champions of #SaudiWomenDriving, real women champions are at imminent risk (they may be tortured too)https://twitter.com/amnestygulf/status/1002093724380418048?s=19 …

The image of Princess Haifa bint Abdullah al-Saud in the driver’s seat was featured on the front cover of Vogue Arabia’s June issue, dedicated to the “trailblazing women of Saudi Arabia”.

Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy, bans most political activity and brooks little public criticism of the Government or the Al Saud ruling family.

2…………> Fire Samantha Bee: Trump

President Donald Trump has called for comedian Samantha Bee to be fired for insulting his daughter Ivanka with an obscene phrase on her television show.

Bee used an offensive slur when attacking Ms. Trump over the Trump administration’s immigration policy.

Mr. Trump called it a “double standard” that her show was not canceled like Roseanne Barr, who lost her sitcom after she posted a racist tweet.

Bee has apologized, saying she “crossed a line” with the vulgar phrase.

Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low rating show? A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!

5…………> Tariff Wars: Mexico vs the US

“It’s a sad day for international trade,” said Mexico economy secretary Ildefonso Guajardo, describing the United States’ announcement of metal tariffs against its trade partners as “completely incomprehensible,” since his country actually buys more U.S. steel than it exports to that country.

Although the U.S. has said the tariffs are being applied for national security reasons, the economy secretary argued that steel and aluminum are integral supplies in highly integrated strategic sectors of the North American economy, such as the automotive, aerospace, electric and electronic industries.

As Mexico announced tariffs on U.S. goods in retaliation, the EU promised to do the same with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker described the tariffs as “unjustified,” and said it would hit back with its own tariffs and take the issue to the World Trade Organization.

“This is protectionism, pure and simple,” he said.

The United Kingdom’s trade secretary said the tariffs were “patently absurd.”
