Right now, the unemployment rate is 4.3%, but for Black women it's a staggering 6.7%. Over 320,000 Black women have lost their jobs from the federal govt to the private sector. This systematic targeting of Black women is intentional. It's devastating for our communities, economy, and our country.

Hey, Mike little Johnson, keep Hakeem's name out of your mouth.

This guy ... wow. He actually thinks everyone is stupid.

That´s a block. Do not need to see racist AI garbage. See enough racism IRL. Stupid tech bros.

"That medication, already purchased by a U.S.-taxpayer-funded program, was tantalizingly close — a little more than seven miles away. But it hadn’t reached the clinic where Suza was being treated because President Donald Trump’s suspension of foreign aid had thrown supply chains into chaos."

Not a single one of our institutions has any intention of protecting its faculty or defending the integrity of intellectual inquiry at this moment. This is of the most disturbing versions of that story I’ve read: it keeps getting worse and worse as you go

Yes, DEM leaders, it is a good strategy to expect those people to be reasonable.

Oh yeah, DEM leaders, these are definitely reasonable people ...

The thing regular people don’t often grasp about ‘academic freedom’ is that if you don’t allow experts to research & teach in their fields of expertise, guided by their professional judgment & decades of training, you have effectively given up on the concept of knowledge & shut down your university

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

This is what we call "experiential learning ..."

I think a sunflower just shot me the finger!

Trump thinks his tariffs will force consumers to buy more American goods. But coffee? One of the biggest producers is Brazil, subject to big tariffs. Prices up 21% year over year.

(exhausted voice) we have a VP that calls people dipshits ...

Office David Rose killed during mass shooting at CDC by anti-vax extremist. “He was a loving father, a devoted husband, a cherished brother, and a loyal friend. His kindness, courage, & unwavering commitment to his family and community touched the lives of everyone who knew him.”

Zelensky on China: “I don’t feel they want to end this war. They’re not interested. We can all speculate, economics, history, but the truth is, we don’t know. What we do see is their lack of interest.”

After becoming as emaciated as he was, it’s no surprise his gut is having a tough time. He did ok overnight, still eating well, had another enema but still impacted. Two back-to-back hospitalizations for Zack have hit us pretty hard (plus an expensive summer). You can help at linktr.ee/crits4cats

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

Just because people in their own country put up with their nonsense, they think the rest of the world will.

April McClain-Delaney, you are a waste of a MD seat that could be doing good. Awful, just awful. Nepo-wife at its worst.

Wow.

Catholics like this guy are why Vance thought he should become a Catholic. Horrible, absolutely horrible. They get their feelings hurt by our man from Chicago and act like this.

Almost back to where it was when they changed the methodology in 2023. Safe to assume it would be several points higher if using the old approach.

Trump´s version of "Field of Dreams" ... if you crash the economy, he will lower interest rates.

Hear me out, Bluesky ... American Greed www.cnbc.com/2021/12/01/a... ... until you get caught.

You know you have been teaching college macro too long when you HAVE to respond to this post: "careful, the Fed's mandate is not to minimize inflation but rather to keep prices stable around its decided target of approx 2%."

Powell: "Overall, the marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual. In this less dynamic and somewhat softer labor market, the downside risks to employment seem to have risen."

Powell: "There's very little growth if any in the supply of workers, and at the same time demands for workers has also come down quite sharply to the point where we see what I've called a curious balance. In this case, the balance is because both supply and demand have come down quite sharply."
