The primaries are here in six states. Every race on today's ballot shapes what comes next. Who leads. Who gets funded. Who fights for Black communities in the halls of power. Black voters have always understood what is at stake. Go make your vote count.

It's so important to keep shining a light on the torture, medical neglect, abuse & #ICELawlessness of this administration! Please consider sharing this & talking about this story with others. We cannot let these stories fade away from the publicconsciousness. The savagery continues. Speak out! 🧵

UK wage growth slows and unemployment rate rises as companies react to Iran war – business live

theguardian.comUK wage growth slows and unemployment rate rises as companies react to Iran war – business liveJobless rate unexpectedly rises to 5% and employment falls by 100,000, biggest drop in six years; economists say June interest rate hike looks less likely Real wages are on the cusp of shrinking for the fourth time in less than two decades, the Resolution Foundation has warned. The latest ONS data shows February’s fall in unemployment was a blip. A sharp rise in March – to 5.5% in the single-month data, the highest since 2015 – returned unemployment to 5% over the first three months of the year. Early indications suggest further bad news in April, with payrolled employment falling by 100,000 on the month (although initial April estimates are always subject to large revisions). The UK labour market entered the current period of economic turbulence in a weak place, with unemployment at five per cent and real wage growth falling to zero. With inflation set to increase over the coming months, the UK is on the cusp of its fourth period of falling real-wage growth in less than two decades. This stuttering performance goes a long way in explaining the political and economic discontent that surrounds modern Britain. The latest UK jobs report, which features rising unemployment, sharply lower payrolls and tumbling wage growth, is a reminder that the economy is much less susceptible to ‘second round’ effects from the incoming energy shock on things like wage growth than it did four years ago in the last oil/gas shock. We’re still forecasting a rate hike in June, but that is far from guaranteed. Following the April Bank of England meeting, we’ve tentatively been forecasting a one-and-done rate hike in June. That remains our base case, mainly because our house view on energy prices, particularly for natural gas, and given that the strait of Hormuz is showing little sign of reopening. But it’s a close call, and we remain open-minded about next month’s meeting. A lot will also depend on tomorrow’s inflation data. Continue reading...

The U.S. just lifted sanctions on Russian cargo ships and multiple high-profile narcotics figures. Dozens of names were removed from the Specially Designated Nationals list—including vessels tied to major Russian leasing operations and individuals linked to Mexican and Colombian drug networks.

Even Trump knows that Congress can hold him accountable, it’s time for House and Senate Republicans to wake up, and rein him in before this turns into another forever war.

Congrats to Scott MacFarlane on his stratospheric growth since going independent and launching his channel just days ago. People are clearly hungry for real, raw, enterprise reporting.

Don’t buy it. The SAVE Act was never just about voter ID. It’s about pressure, who gets flagged, who gets pushed off the rolls, and who has to jump through hoops to prove they belong in this democracy. 📌 Trump’s putting the heat on Republicans to pass it. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

I read that everyone would have to reregister. I’d be in real trouble if this passes! I changed my name when I married AND I used my nickname for Social Security. That won’t be possible to fix in time for the midterms! 😳 #SaveActTaxesYourVote

New: As David Ellison prepares to take control of CNN, legendary CBS News producer Mary Walsh, who is exiting, sent a goodbye note to colleagues. In the note, Walsh writes, "We’ve been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don’t know how to do that."

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote. Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

The Resurrection Project held a vigil/presser for 22-y/o, Federico Alcantar, who's been the sole support & caregiver for his orphaned teen siblings & who's been detained by ICE since Oct. in a case of mistaken identity. We stand with TRP for Federico & all immigrants subject to ICE terror! 1/2 🧵
