New WP "The Inequality of Recession" uses @claudia-sahm.bsky.social like rules, with thousands of subseries of unemployment, tells a consistent empirical story: recessions consistently hit some folks first.

As I noted on @cnn.com, drug comments to attack Musk would be next. And here they are via minions. The car move, of course, is weak sauce.

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

George Floyd should be alive today.

He should be raising his daughter, living his life.

5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags.

His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.”

Let’s stop failing her, and him.

Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

Under Apartheid's Group Areas Act, passed in 1950, more than 3.5 million Blacks were forcibly removed from cities and desirable farmland to remote under-resourced areas which eventually became known as homelands. Until the end of apartheid, Blacks were not allowed to own land in "white" areas.

Remember this?

Drinking at the podium. Chaos at the Pentagon. We’re one whiskey shot away from DEFCON 1.

Every Senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew exactly who he was. They don’t get to act shocked now—they should be held accountable.

Pope Francis dedicated his papacy to creating a more inclusive, loving, and equitable Catholic Church. My heart is with all of those who found faith, community, and hope under his leadership. He was a pillar of progress for the Catholic community and the world. May he rest in peace.
Pope Francis, the Catholic Church’s first Latin American pontiff, has died. He was 88.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Jimmy Carter was right about climate change. He was right about the Mideast conflict and apartheid in Israel and South Africa and the ongoing plagues of poverty and racism. It was he not Reagan who freed our hostages in Iran. A true man of God, he died beloved, which not many presidents do or will.
