@sandydarity.bsky.social has BOTH an excellent proposal for reparations—as elaborated in the book "From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century"—AND a complementary, synergistic plan for a federal jobs guarantee. 🙏 @moneyontheleft.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/mone...

I heard the audio. He said it. Lord. What have y'all done.

I love it. He can try to run from the scandal but me thinks he can't possibly run fast enough or far enough. Well, maybe if he runs to Moscow and stays there. Another Statue Of Trump And Epstein Appears On National Mall — This Time Inspired By 'Titanic' www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This is the LARGEST oil supply disruption in history with no clear end in sight. Brent crude oil has surged to $115. A 25% jump in a single day. On a Sunday night. The last time the world saw an oil shock this severe was the 1970s. That crisis caused gas rationing and double-digit inflation.

Just ONE generation ago, our fathers could support an entire family on a single paycheck. Afford homes, buy cars, raise kids, family vacations, and retire with pensions… all on ONE middle-class salary. Today? Two incomes barely cover rent in most cities.

Oil just did something it hasn’t done in 40 years. It’s now up +35% in a week. Up 90% since December’s low of $55/barrel. Now crossing $105+. This isn’t normal.

The special issue of BMJ Global on reparations featuring articles by members of the Walter and Patricia Rodney Commission on Reparations is scheduled to drop on March 23rd.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These soldiers have lost their lives because of the Epstein files.

Yes! This. What's the opposite of schadenfreude, German friends? When you are sad because someone else is joyful?

Over 10 years ago, long before George Floyd, I was doing a #BlackLivesMatter photo campaign. Facebook HQ invited me to photograph the staff. Back then, the view was controversial. At the grassroots level, no one had any idea there was any formal 501c3. A lot has changed since then.

I’m deep in the latest Epstein file drops. Follow this space 🔥

The DOJ said the files had not been released after they had been “incorrectly coded as duplicative.”

This is just to say, if you've not read Nisi Shawl's _Everfair_, then you have missed one of the great dirigible tales of all time. Steampunk in the Congo and smartypants as heck.

BREAKING: The DOJ has been taking down certain Epstein file documents, per CBS News.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

Iran has threatened to strike any vessels moving through the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

@jeetheer.bsky.social This aged well. You were wrong then and even more wrong now. This should spark introspection in you, but it won't.

The Dow is now WAY below 50,000. Release all the Epstein files, Pam.

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

Capital B News highlights the expertise of Founding Director William A. Darity Jr. in their look what it would take to move forward reparations in NYC. Full article: http://capitalbnews.org?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_content=ap_nwbhdeatvw #SamuelDuboisCookCenter

"Darity, the economist and social scientist, virtually discussed the economic impacts of chattel slavery and what he referred to as modern-day government slavery, otherwise known as mass incarceration."

Dr. William A. Darity

Sandy Darity on X 6/10/2024: “Contrary to the central hypothesis of The Sum of Us, while their bigoted decisions certainly are ethically questionable, white Americans gain materially from racism both in relative and absolute terms.” spoutible.com/thread/32339...

Book 24: "From Here to Equality, Second Edition: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century " by William A. Darity Jr & Andrea Mullen bookshop.org/p/books/from...

We’re joined in this episode by William A. (“Sandy”) Darity to discuss reparations for Black Americans.

1980s–Present: As the wealth gap began to widen again due to disparities in stock equity and housing appreciation, contemporary scholars like William A. Darity Jr. pioneered stratification economics to analyze how social hierarchies maintain these gaps.

Y'all, @sandydarity.bsky.social is on #bluesky! Dr. Sandy Darity is one the top experts on the racial wealth gap for Black Americans. Alongside Dr. Kristen Mullen, they find that giving every Black American a direct payment of $267,000 would help close the racial wealth gap. #blacksky

A leading scholar on the economics of reparations, stratification economics, and much more. Great to have you active here, Dr. @sandydarity.bsky.social!

@sandydarity.bsky.social is featured in #TheBlackAgenda, where he calls for an economic bill of rights that includes: 1) A federal job guarantee 2) A public banking/postal banking system 3) National health Insurance 4) Free broadband services us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

I encourage you to check out his book or reach out to him directly @sandydarity.bsky.social!

From report co-author (and our director) @sandydarity.bsky.social: “The current study demonstrates the force of the connection between wealth and health outcomes, with strong implications for racial and ethnic disparities in New York City. Health gaps cannot be closed without closing wealth gaps.”

Nah, they are just reverting to type. Neo-feudal overlords, that’s all they’ve ever wanted to be. Once they saw regular people having little or no sympathy for that UHC CEO’s murder, they all jumped aboard the fascism train. Can’t let those guillotines get pulled out of storage…

lol disrespectfully, corporate America is spineless.

If this is an NBA Finals preview, the Pistons are in great shape. However, the Thunder are now missing their top six scorers, so they might be better in June.

Bezos’ layoffs at the Washington Post are a warning: the extremely wealthy buy essential institutions and reshape them to extract more from all of us. Taxing billionaires is about breaking that power. Read more from @igorvolsky.bsky.social in this week's #FiresideStacks🔥 : https://bit.ly/4rCLlLE
