New U.S. jobs report shows 2025 is off to a discouragingly sluggish start
Over the first six months of the year, American job growth has slowed to a 15-year low. It's worth asking why.

Really good piece by @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on the strategic logic of public protest in this moment.
Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead?
These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

Democratic elected officials should be out leading protests against Trump's authoritarianism. They need to start acting like our freedom, lives, and way of life is on the line. They are.
Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"
The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
