Tariffs will likely hit the US LNG industry in a broader and more painful way than the oil industry.
Natural Gas Export Facilities Squeezed by New Tariffs

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.
As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.
They can't keep spewing carbon.
They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.
They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

The NCAA’s cowardice is on full display with their decision to comply with Trump’s transphobic EO. To say NCAA is an org dedicated to “well-being & life-long success” of athletes is horseshit if you’re selective with circumstances and the pool of athletes.

A conservative group backed by a grant from the Heritage Foundation has set up a "DEI Watchlist" with dossiers on civil servants it claims pushed DEI policies at US agencies.
The site shows information and photos of the workers it labels as "targets." Most of those named are minorities or women.

In case it’s not already abundantly clear, this is an all out war on the working class. Systematically dismantling the NLRB, EEOC, invalidating labor agreements, hamstringing the right to unionize, & now suggesting eliminating OSHA will undoubtedly cost lives & livelihoods. We need to act like it.

The entanglement of tribal nations with ICE shouldn’t be a surprise. Remember a promise of Trump’s campaign was to “drill, baby, drill”, which becomes an impossibility unless Trump and his racist delinquents physically remove Indigenous People from their land.

By hamstringing the NLRB, Trump is waging a direct assault on organized labor and the working class.
