Fun fact: It’s easy to keep premiums low when you only have to insure healthy people.

“The Trump administration’s policies work in tandem. It is harder for people of color to enter the workforce. It is harder for them to remain in the workforce. And if they are victimized by illegal discrimination, it is harder for them to do anything about it.” @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social

This is the core project of Trumpism 2.0

I want to raise a few issues with this ... - The unemployment rate was 4.6% in Nov 2025. - There are 982,000 more unemployed people in Nov 2025 than in Jan 2025. - There are 271,000 fewer federal government employees. - 982,000 > 271,000. More than 3 times more unemployed.

Being the product would be easy. You're the free labor.

This is the core for understanding the spread of AI. All technology you use from big companies is fundamentally about trying to show you shit you don't like because when you avoid it that renders extremely useful preference data about you as a user that enhances targeting algorithms.

This is interesting on several levels. Mostly: "AI adoption is now a leadership capability test." It is. Just not in the way he thinks. I think that people underestimate why CEOs, particularly American CEOs, think that. 🧵 (HT @mariafarrell.bsky.social)

Erika Kirk is not a celebrity. She's a no one who no one wants to watch on TV. 'Was married to a guy who barely made the mainstream press until he died' is not a celebrity-making situation.

About an hour ago, our piece "What Happened to the Young Middle-Class Man?" became our most-read ever, with 12,300 views. It shows how average and median incomes are growing for men over the age of 65, but falling for those between 25-34. Read here: www.missingmiddleini...

This is a potent symbol of the precise problem in media coverage of these guys. They are treated as makers, builders, hands on. But they're takers, thieves, and cowards. They piss from shoulders of giants & uninformed credulous media drinks it up. Their billions? An insult to every working person.

A month ago I wrote a piece on how the major forecasting groups were greatly underestimating oil demand destruction. One reason: Electrification of chinese trucking. Since then there have been a lot more articles like this. This one is pretty good. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

The affordability crisis is an inequality crisis. When prices spike in key sectors, it's not just inflation—it's a massive redistribution shock that hits poor households hardest. In our **new working paper**, we identify the sectors that matter most. A thread 🧵 scholarworks.umass.edu/entities/pub...

Until white people quit telling themselves those “comfortable lies” and dismantle systemic racism in this country. You ain’t getting any of this, the racism you benefit from is what most of you opt for in the voting booth. Only thing is you miscalculated with this administration. It only sees $.

The people of the USA have ratified three different constitutional amendments to say "Black people get to vote" (14,15,24) and every time the Supreme Court has outvoted the country.

Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you can guess where this is going... though it does have a bit of a twist. I was poking around Google Scholar for publications about the relationship between chatbots and wellness. Oh how useful: a systematic literature review! Let's dig into the findings. 🧵

IMO, the best framework for understanding all of this infighting is that Tucker, Candace, TPUSA, Fuentes, and the Daily Wire are fighting over their respective audience shares of the relatively small number of people interested in consuming their nonsense.

@lordbusinessman.bsky.social we've got a 'go back to your own country'. Getting closer to the N word.

Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Some takes on housing discourse: 1. measures of cost burdens at local levels are close to useless. for instance, of counties with > 100,000 renter households, the *least* rent burdened is San Francisco 2. homeownership doesn't measure what you think it does 3. housing shortage estimates are weird

Good morning. I've got a banger new post out today that develops a new method for placing voters on the left-right ideological spectrum, and adds a new, "non-ideological"/affordability axis to usual way we chart & think about US voters (esp swing voters). www.gelliottmorris.com/p/not-just-l...

‘The #AI-driven gold rush is starting to stall and it’s the picks and shovels of the #renewable #energy system taking the spotlight. Over the last 12 months, the S&P Global Clean Energy Index has climbed over 50%, beating the ‘Magnificent 7’ year-to-date.’ - David Cunningham, LinkedIn

It's hard to overstate what a disaster Kash Patel is. See the many disturbing details here, from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, an expert on the FBI. "The longer this chaos continues," he writes, "the more likely we’re going to face a catastrophic intelligence failure." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Are you really rich if you can't force someone to eat trash?

This is what segregation looks like.

The K-shaped economy is exactly what restrictive monetary policy looks like. While the Fed's goals are for the overall economy, its tool of interest rates affects financially constrained households and firms the most. My new @opinion.bloomberg.com piece. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

An alleged extortion attempt, a petty years-long grudge, shocking social media posts, and ominous text messages make up the latest scandal at the Food and Drug Administration.

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer. Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss. 'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Waltz called out at the UN. The rhetoric this administration uses in the US won’t fly anywhere else still and that’s of some comfort. The entire world is being tested right now.

Is social media dying? How much has Twitter changed as it became X? Which party now dominates the conversation? Using nationally representative ANES data from 2020 & 2024, I map how the U.S. social media landscape has transformed. Here are the key take-aways 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2510.25417

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

A federal agent fired three times at an unarmed driver during a traffic stop in D.C. MPD officers left it out of their report. “He thought they were trying to kill him,” his attorney says. Full story:

A Homeland Security Investigations agent shot at an unarmed Black man during a traffic stop on Oct. 17. But a @dcpolicedept.bsky.social officer omitted any mention of the shooting from his reports, apparently under instruction from a "team leader." washingtoncitypaper.com/article/7732...

Farms have a very special kind of bankruptcy that's super debtor-friendly, and is designed to KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS without having to sell off much or any land. And it used to only be for family farms that make most of their $$ from farming. But Trump expanded it to all kinds of wealthy people. 🤠

Here's my theory about AI video slop: the unreality and inauthenticity is part of what gives them viral lift. If the systems get too good at generating realistic indistinguishable video consistently & w/ little effort the amount of AI slop will significantly reduce, basically only to misinformation

This week's post is up! I did a lot of manual labor jobs that most men in the US won't do. Back when I was a schoolgirl. So let's talk about well-off people who talk about how much they respect manual labor... because talk is cheaper than paying people right. youtu.be/v4XM-mQgRO0
