This chart from Thomas Piketty illustrates what Jefferson Cowie calls “the Great Exception,” the period of the New Deal Order from the 1930s to the 1970s when inequality was low, and rates of unionization and federal marginal tax rates were high.

#DubNation stands with the people of Minneapolis and all communities affected by ICE and federal agents’ actions of violence. This goes beyond basketball. Lives are lost and many are hurting. Our thoughts are with grieving families and with everyone calling for peace, justice, and accountability.🕊️✊

someone tell the California ACLU who is disproportionately more likely to be killed in traffic accidents including those involving people under the influence

Kirsten Bladh@kerstanley.bsky.social · 8mo ago

The California ACLU is staunchly opposed to the ignition interlock device program and is a big reason that it has not been expanded. Despite the fact that California heavily subsidizes the cost for low-income drunk drivers, the ACLU says that the program is a form of "racialized wealth extraction."

According to the American Civil Liberties Union California Action: The American Civil Liberties California Action respectfully opposes AB 366, which converts a discretionary rule into a judicial mandate, requiring judges — in all cases involving a first Driving Under the Influence (DUI) conviction-to order the installation of an Ignition Interlock Device (IID). In making this change, the bill fails to address the financial and logistical barriers that drivers with low incomes will encounter to comply. The costs associated with this bill are untenable, especially given expected budget shortfalls.

As a nineties kid, the station wagon argument lands with me because I loved sitting in the rear-facing back seats and making dumb faces at the drivers be hind me. As an adult, though, I realize now one rear-end accident and my little ass would have died

Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

In my many many conversations with young people about race, this generally rings true. But most who i talk to still tend to understand racism as an interpersonal problem rather than a structural/policy one.

2/🧵 New piece with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social in @NewRepublic: We analyzed 60,000+ respondents in the 2024 Cooperative Election Study. Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation. The generational shift overwhelms the education divide that supposedly defines modern politics.

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

The immediate impulse seems to be to roast these articles, but more than half of voters chose Trump. Many of us don't know any of them very well. don't we want to know how they think ... so we can, like, win an election next time?

The New York Times@nytimes.com · last yr.

The New York Times interviewed several Trump voters to ask if they trusted Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and whether they believed the president’s denials of any wrongdoing. Here’s what some Trump supporters told us.
