9 months into this administration & we are accelerating towards the negative trifecta of stagflation —simultaneous sluggish growth, high unemployment & rising inflation. Accompanied with trending authoritarianism & pubic assaults on personhoods grounded racisms, sexism and nativism. #ReverseCourse

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Since President Trump returned to office, more than 300,000 Black women have lost their jobs, while unemployment for them has shot up from 5.4% to 6.7%. “This structural inequality among Black women will eventually create a huge deterioration in the entire economy as they don't consume as much … [and] this contagion, I believe, will spill out throughout the entire economy,” says Democratic Congresswoman Gwen Moore of Wisconsin. New School Economics Professor Darrick Hamilton warns: “The adage ‘Black people are the first fired, last hired’ is indicative of what might come for the rest of us.”
