according to conservatives on the court, the constitution does not protect your right to your own body but does enable the government to ship you off to a foreign gulag without any hope of return

Research by IMF economists shows that the rise and fall of inflation in advanced economies since 2020 has mostly been driven by supply shocks (energy, food, supply chains). Macroeconomic conditions "played a secondary role".

“I asked chatgpt” and you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?” And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house." And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife."

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

One of the best framing choices of Adam Tooze’s “Shutdown” re the economic dimensions of the pandemic was pointing out that the collapse of in-person economic activity in spring 2020 was overwhelmingly voluntary! People were scared and didn’t want to get sick!

👇🎯 These people will never stop trying to get rich by telling everyone they can learn & teach w/o doing the actual hard work of learning & teaching. They peddle fake alternatives to the hard daily grind of education because they're greedy & lazy. They're charlatans, & we should treat them as such.

Addressing Europe’s prospects for sustainable, equitable growth as the world changes is obv very important for every European’s wellbeing - but what does “poorer” mean in the context of working less, having more decommodified lives, and enjoying more leisure time? Growth for what exactly?

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

Reminder that bond yields now, like inflation over the last five years, are rising across the rich world. So if your explanations of what is happening are entirely about 🇺🇸 domestic politics, you’re probably not taking the existence of the global economy seriously enough.

TL;DR: The more the US conducts policy in way that erodes confidence in its institutions, the more it takes on the shape of an emerging market, the more sovereign credit rating kind of start to matter. Crudely put, but I don’t think the complacency is fully warranted.

“The one thing we were created to do we can’t do – at a time when we’re most needed.” “It’s terrifying.” “Completely handcuffed from working.” Why does the Trump Admin want to shut down the one government agency focused on preventing bad actors from ripping off Americans? 🤔
