C’est une image qui s’est vite répandue. Celle d’un soldat israélien au Sud-Liban, courbé, une massue à la main, en train de frapper une statue de Jésus tombée d’une croix sur laquelle elle était accrochée. Le crucifix se trouvait dans le jardin d’une maison de Debel, localité qui se trouve dans la zone du Liban actuellement occupée par l’armée israélienne. L’image a suscité une vive émotion au Liban mais également sur la scène internationale. Et elle a obligé les autorités israéliennes à réagir.

(The Center Square) - California Attorney General Rob Bonta has announced an unredacted version of his motion for a preliminary injunction against Amazon. In 2022, the Office of the Attorney General announced a lawsuit against the company for “stifling competition and causing increased prices.” Earlier this year, Bonta filed a preliminary injunction to immediately stop Amazon from engaging in illegal price fixing. During a livestream announcement Monday, Bonta said Amazon has “strong-armed vendors” into raising prices elsewhere or pulling products from competing retailers altogether so that Amazon can protect its profit margins. “That's not competition,” said Bonta. “It's price fixing, and under California law, it's illegal.” The Center Square reached out Monday to Amazon, which is based in Seattle, and other retailers mentioned by Bonta, but did not get a response by press time. According to Bonta, the newly announced version of his filing paints a clear and disturbing picture. “Amazon has been coordinating with vendors and major retailers, including Target, Walmart, Chewy, Best Buy and Home Depot, to raise prices across the market,” said Bonta. “This is about protecting Californians from paying more than they should for everyday products, especially at a time when affordability feels farther out of reach. It's about making sure prices are set by real competition, not behind-the-scenes pressure from Amazon.” Bonta stressed that the prices were not suggestions from Amazon, rather “directives often backed by threats of penalties” if vendors failed to comply. “Amazon used vendors as the middleman,” directing them to contact retailers and push for price increases so Amazon wouldn't have to compete, Bonta said. These are “concrete” examples of “a widespread scheme” going back years and involving different product categories, the attorney general told reporters. “That's why we're asking the court to immediately stop these practices while our case proceeds,” said Bonta. “Specifically, we're asking the court to prohibit Amazon from agreeing with vendors or competing retailers to fix or raise prices, using vendors as intermediaries to coordinate pricing, communicating with vendors in ways that facilitate price coordination, and demanding payments tied to price matching.” OAG has also requested an independent monitor to ensure compliance. “Notably, the court has already denied Amazon's motion for summary judgment on a key cross-claim, a significant setback for Amazon's attempt to avoid being held accountable,” said Bonta. Near the end of his announcement, Bonta said OAG is not asking Amazon to change its business model. Instead, OAG is asking Amazon to follow the law. That includes California’s Cartwright Act, which makes price fixing illegal. “Courts have long held that prices must be determined by supply and demand, by market forces, not by agreements orchestrated by a dominant company like Amazon,” said Bonta. “When a company pressures vendors to raise prices elsewhere or withdraw products to protect its own profits, it interferes directly with the competitive process.” That, said Bonta, takes money out of the pockets of California families every single day on common household items such as diapers, clothing and furniture. Estimates vary on how many U.S. homes have an Amazon Prime membership. Bonta put that figure at nearly 80 million. Capitol One Shopping puts it at just over 88 million. Snopes.com puts it around 147 million. Whatever the number is, Bonta said 92% of consumers say they’re more likely to buy from Amazon than any other site. “So when prices are manipulated, there are real consequences for working families,” said Bonta. “The evidence shows coordinated efforts to stabilize or increase prices, harming consumers and distorting the marketplace.”

Sign up for Chalkbeat Colorado’s free daily newsletter to get the latest reporting from us, plus curated news from other Colorado outlets, delivered to your inbox.Denver Public Schools is considering asking voters in November to approve a $44 million tax increase to benefit the city’s schools at a time when enrollment and funding are uncertain. How that $44 million would be spent is an open question, district officials said. But the district plans to float several options at a series of community meetings starting this week. Attendees will be asked to prioritize the options, which include:Pay raises for all DPS staff.Bigger pay incentives for teachers and other staff to work at high-poverty schools where 60% or more of students qualify for subsidized school meals.Bigger pay incentives for teachers and other staff to work in hard-to-fill roles, such as high school math teachers, bilingual teachers, school psychologists.Reducing employee health insurance premiums.Funding for career and technical education, including classes in aviation mechanics, animation, welding, and more that will be offered at new regional hubs.Funding for teacher training and alternative teacher licensure programs that allow aspiring teachers to work for DPS while earning a degree.If voters say yes, it would increase property taxes by about $77 per year for a Denver home valued at $630,000, the median home price in the city.Like many districts in Colorado, Denver Public Schools is facing serious funding pressures. Lower birth rates and higher housing prices are causing the district’s enrollment to drop, which means it could get less per-pupil funding from the state. Federal funding uncertainties coupled with a tight state budget puts the district in a precarious position, officials said.The district’s health insurance and utility costs are rising, officials said. And an increase in the number of students with disabilities has meant the district is spending more to support them.Denver voters have a track record of approving school tax increases. In 2024, voters approved a $975 million bond measure to benefit DPS. Four years earlier, voters had approved both a $795 million bond measure and a $32 million mill levy override.Bond measures are used to build new schools or renovate existing ones. Mill levy overrides pay for programming. Past overrides have funded elementary school art teachers, tutoring programs, and increased mental health services for students, for example.Voters’ past generosity meant DPS was already raising the maximum amount of override funding allowable under state law. But two years ago, state lawmakers increased the cap. DPS can now raise an amount equal to 29% of its state funding, up from 25%.In real dollars, that’s an estimated $332 million, up from $288 million, according to a district presentation. DPS has about 89,000 students and a total budget of about $1.5 billion.Not all Colorado school districts are as lucky. Many struggle to convince voters to approve tax increases, creating vast inequities in school funding across the state.The Denver teachers union supports another mill levy override. It was even part of the union’s last contract with the district, signed last year. The contract included a memorandum of understanding in which the district acknowledged that educators “serve a vital role” and agreed to consider asking voters in 2025 or 2026 to raise taxes. Overrides can help pay for teacher salaries.DPS has tasked a nine-member committee with recommending whether to put a mill levy override on the November ballot and how the money should be spent. That committee will consider feedback from attendees at six regional meetings. The meetings are scheduled for:Tuesday, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Gust ElementaryApril 27, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Westerly Creek ElementaryMay 4, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Holm ElementaryMay 6, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Trevista at Horace MannMay 12, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Responsive Arts & STEAM AcademyMay 14, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Whittier ECE-8Melanie Asmar is the bureau chief for Chalkbeat Colorado.
