Good point from @weisenthal.bsky.social: Even if you think the goal of reviving US manufacturing is achievable and desirable, and even if you think that tariffs are a useful tool for that, the erratic, whimsical way they're being applied here is going to cancel out whatever benefits they might have.

Having worked in rural NY for years, I'm not surprised by findings here - that the Trump-Musk agenda to reduce the federal workforce will impact local labor markets across the U.S. and hit small cities the hardest. Check it (+ cool maps) out @urbaninstitute.bsky.social www.urban.org/urban-wire/i...

John Jay student Conor Smyth on the economic effects of mass deportations.
The details about the potentially disastrous economic effects of mass deportations are likely known by only a small minority of the population. If corporate media outlets took their job seriously, they could help turn the tides against extremist immigration policies.

Media Fail to Inform About Disastrous Economic Effects of Mass Deportations
