Nearly 400 Seattle cops made over $200k in 2024
With 23 percent raises and backpay, a lot of awful cops got awful rich in 2024. Sleeping Sergeant Paige Maks raked in half a million, while prolific offender Zsolt Dornay took in nearly $360,000.

🤔A lot of transphobes that kept it under wraps are just completely crashing out over Gavin Newsom.
If one individual trans person says, "I will never vote for Gavin Newsom." and that makes you go "I HATE YOUR WHOLE COMMUNITY! ALL OF YOU!" Then this had nothing to do with Gavin Newsom.
Be for real.

You can visually see the effects of Biden's policy on mass incarceration.
In 2020, he said "I'm sorry about the war on drugs, and lying about Black people and crime, and working with Strom Thurmond against you! It was an accident! I've changed!"
Black people believed it.
Then he did it again.🤡

If you look at US mass incarceration level over time, you can see where Biden the senator's policies ramped up mass incarceration under Nixon/Reagan/Clinton.
You can see where other presidents (including Trump!) tried to undo that.
You can see how Biden started Bidening again when he became POTUS🤦🏿♂️

A significant percent of all prisoners on planet Earth, are Black people in jail because of laws and policies specifically pushed by Joe Biden.

OT to his point, but sometimes I hate the things that economists do when estimating inflation.
If your new computer is faster for same money, then that’s obviously deflation, not inflation. You got more computer for your money.

People are predictably upset about this, but consider: Americans are, on average, consuming more goods and services, more higher education, more health care, and more housing than ever before, all at once.
Yes, the share for each category has shifted.
But how is that a crisis? What is declining?

The basic problem, which cannot be avoided, is that the cost of living crisis is fake. It is not real. It is a hallucination. And that means, no matter how hard you try, you cannot placate people by lowering the cost of living. It’s like trying to cure hypochondria with chemotherapy.

I have a domain and get wildcard email there. And spam lists contain multiple emails on it. Which means that when new spam campaigns hit, I get multiple copies.
