Stagflation

The Fed Chair is describing stagflation but does not want to say the word.
Powell: "In the near term, risks to inflation are tilted to the upside, and risks to employment to the downside -- a challenging situation. There is no risk-free path for policy as we navigate this tension between our employment and inflation goals."

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

Agreed!
Some will reject this comparison with today’s scenes in California.

But resistance against authoritarianism in all its forms matters.

Please call your Reps. We have to try, even if it seems unlikely that there are 4 Republicans with any shred of a soul left.
4 Republican votes in the House.

That's it.

That's what's needed to kill this horrific, sinful, and murderous GOP Billionaire Bill.

Do 4 Republicans have the moral courage to do it?

Read his short 3-part thread. It really is that simple
A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable.

REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

Credible whistleblower account that Bove, a Trump DOJ official, told staff attorneys they'd need to say "f*ck you" to courts & to lie in order to send migrants to El Salvador "no matter what." He's now nominated for lifetime appointment as fed judge. Tell your Senators to vote no & to investigate

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”

So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…

It was always a lie.

Read his whole thread. Iran didn't pose an imminent threat; Trump acted illegally & recklessly. Whether it's to distract us from disastrous domestic policy, to profit, or because he's been manipulated, who knows. Congress must deny authorization for this illegal war, then
IMPEACH.
CONVICT.
REMOVE.
Donald Trump, a weak and dangerously reckless president, has put the United States on a path to a war in the Middle East that the country does not want, the law does not allow, and our security does not demand.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Alex Padilla, a sitting US Senator from California, was forcibly removed, put on the ground, & handcuffed, for daring to ask a question at Kristi Noem's Homeland Security press briefing.

This is authoritarianism. Tyranny. If they'll do that a a Senator, imagine what they'll do to the rest of us. 😡

For years, I've long said that climate.gov's team of remarkable communicators (& their amazing blogs, which were accessible but did not "dumb down" the science!) was NOAA's best (& most cost effective!) public-facing extreme #weather / #climate education effort to date. This will be a huge loss.
Climate.gov, a major US government website supporting public education on climate science, will likely shut down after almost all of its staff were fired. What would be worse is if the website were co-opted to publish climate denial content.

Remember when Republicans were losing their minds about leaving Afghans who worked with US troops to be killed by the Taliban?

Well, Trump has revoked their asylum and is planning to send them back to be murdered.

Dr. Swain is a well-respected climate science guy & has been crucial to firefighting in California; he's calm & measured, not a fear-monger or sensationalist. This is bad for wildfire preparedness/fighting & agriculture in CA, bad for long-haul trucking on I-80 in WY, bad for tornado tracking & more
I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

They've always been anti-union & anti-worker. That's why they create culture war wedge issues to divide the working class. Well, that, & they're racist. But I guess there were enough voters more attached to racism than to any sense of solidarity. And here we are.

I hate this timeline so much.
On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody

Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory
