Texas A&M police says it has removed this trooper from his game day assignment following this:

MAGA’s ongoing war on academic freedom, reflected in headlines from the last 24 hours.

During Jim Crow, everything from restaraunts to stores to hotels to pharmacies to gas stations required making safe choices. They shaped every trip a Black person made.

If I speak….

Uncovering and measuring the short- and long term effects of Segregation Academies is huge. I’ve been impressed since I first saw this at @nber.org Race and Stratification in the Economy conference and it has only improved since then. An excellent job market paper by a very promising economist.

👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year! Let's start with a student describing her segregated school: "The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education" The twist? The student is white, and her school is private. A JMP 🧵 -->

Black thinkers & activists have been saying the same thing for more than 150 yrs: the rights, laws, & programs passed by Congress are meaningless if white Americans remain unwilling to enforce them.

This Veterans Day I am proud to come from a family of veterans, including my brother. We have served this nation well. We await for the day when the United States lives up to its promise to Black Americans.

Hundreds of American millionaires say the FAA should have grounded private jets before cutting flights for commercial airliners.

This Veterans Day I want to acknowledge the Black veterans of WWII who fought fascism and nazism and came home to fight for civil rights and democracy here. New research shows Black veterans were critical in securing the voting rights currently under attack. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

One of my HS classmates is a trucker who has hit hard times because of an on the job injury and since this country’s social safety net is trash, needs to raise funds to support his recovery. Please consider donating, even if you can’t offer much 🫶🏽 www.gofundme.com/f/help-jason...

I find it absolutely hilarious that gay conservatives use the SCOTUS decision to not reconsider Obergefell v. Hodges as proof that progressive gays are fear-mongers while prominent conservatives openly admit that they are committed to ending same sex marriage in the United States.

Black veterans fought for freedom abroad and returned home to second class citizenship. Traveling while Black during Jim Crow was about survival, mobility, and dignity. The Green Book Project documents that story: greenbookproject.org.ohio-state.edu #GreenBookProject #CommunityMap #EconSky

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly. A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here. U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

I was reading about Fannie Lou Hamer's Freedom Farm Cooperative (FFC) in the book "Freedom Farmers." It talked about starvation as a political weapon and how the FFC was a project to build self sufficiency, feed people, and gain political power. Made me think a lot about the SNAP cuts rn.

The least most politically engaged people I know are texting me before 8am to say, “we won’t forget.” So I don’t know man.

We might as well find joy!! “I Gotta Feeling Everything Gonna Be Alright” youtube.com/watch?v=aRe9...

The history of this country is riddled with losses. Welcome to the history of Black Descendants of Enslaved Americans. The entire idea that we are on an arc that bends toward justice is a myth. We simply try to move forward and create the path for the future. But know this—- We must never give up.

Fox gives Trump a platform during their NFL broadcast to peddle his absurd lies about "prices are coming way down", "we inherited a mess," and "our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it." Absolutely shameful for all involved.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Schumer responded on the Senate floor today:“For this administration to go all the way to the Supreme Court just to get out of having to pay SNAP benefits for hungry kids is pathological levels of vindictiveness. This crisis is in the administration’s hands. It’s all them, not anyone else.” C-SPAN

WOLFERS: “.. I can’t tell you why the president lies, but I can tell you that everything he has said about prices being lower is a lie. .. I’m starting to think that he doesn’t actually care about the cost of living.” @justinwolfers.bsky.social @svdate.bsky.social www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The people responsible will die and bust Hell wide open.

Grocery price inflation is tearing him up and he has no plan to fix it. You can’t lie your way around what people see every week at the store. You can’t bully prices. The administration owns the continued inflation in grocery prices. They fully own it now, whether they like it or not.

Anderson Cooper just called Minnesota's big airport "St. Paul International Airport" Hell yeah

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

The optics could not be more straightforward.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration turns to Supreme Court to block order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments.

Here's how bad it is: Americans have to go to court to try to stop the president from taking food away from poor people.

BREAKING: The USDA tells states funds will be made available later today to pay November SNAP benefits in full.

Hi all, please spread the word and we hope everyone can make good use of this new data drop: cmfdata.org The full surviving establishment-level Census of Manufactures manuscripts and digitized data from 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880!

“Indeed”

At 15 of the 20 academies benefiting from the tax credit program, student bodies were at least 85% white…And among the 20, enrollments at five were more than 60 percentage points whiter than their communities.” www.propublica.org/article/miss...

Trump is fighting as hard as he can to starve kids for negotiating leverage.

As @itsafronomics.bsky.social would say, that math's not mathing.

Update: USDA revised their #SNAP contingency fund plan to provide households with a larger share of their November benefits. This is an important but inadequate step. Families need their full benefits to afford groceries & the Administration has the authority to provide them.

BREAKING: SANDWICH GUY ACQUITTED. NOT GUILTY!

The whole Walmart Thanksgiving thing is actually a cool moment to teach people about inflation. The 2024 version has both more and higher quality items than the 2025 version, it's not a fixed basket of goods! You need to adjust for the substitution effects to accurate compare prices!

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.
