With US 'Paying the Price for Trump's Mistakes,' He Ends Tariffs for Bananas, Beef, Coffee, and More The administration is "now acknowledging what economists and business leaders have told us from the beginning: that tariffs are driving up prices," said one journalist.

"After months of increasing grocery prices, Donald Trump is finally admitting he was wrong," Sen. Elizabeth Warren said after the president ended tariffs on key imports including beef, coffee, and tropical fruit.

Happy Juneteenth everyone! Juneteenth is both a celebration and a reminder that we must continue to fight for freedom for Americans and all people! ❤️🖤💚

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

“The most important office in a democracy is not President or Governor — it’s citizen.” — CA Gov. Gavin Newsom

WATCH: California Sen. Alex Padilla is handcuffed and detained at DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in LA 👇

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

Like so many Palestinians, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyah was snatched from the hospital in Gaza where he was providing life-saving care and is being held in the usual horrific conditions in Israeli prison with no charges.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured.

Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.” 

No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

Harvard’s Adoption of IHRA Definition of Antisemitism Draws Criticism, Threatens Palestine Activism Palestine Square

Harvard's differential treatment of pro-Palestine students continues to draw attention. This recent IHRA adoption is just one example. In recent weeks, three faculty members have resigned in protest of student repression. @shraddhajoshi.bsky.social reports: www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1656...

ACLU sues University of Michigan over campus bans for pro-Palestinian protesters The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the University of Michigan on behalf of five individuals who took part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

Public universities cannot ban people from campus for voicing their opinions.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
