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

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.

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.

Quoting Jeet Heer: It's the lowest of low bars but Trump is doing more to rein in Israel than Biden ever did. This should spark introspection among Democrats, but it won't.

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

Beware of false profits.‼️

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

New paper, hopefully forthcoming, that provides a very different image of the racial wealth gap based on a more well being sensitive measure than the white to black ratio of wealth.

It’s now closer to $500,000.

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.

Citing a study by economist Thomas Kramer, Darity noted that the economic loss from chattel slavery was staggering. Using a 3% interest rate and accounting for all seven days of the week, Darity estimated an $18.6 trillion loss for those subjected to the system. At a 6% interest rate, that figure rises to an estimated $6.2 quadrillion. Drawing a parallel between mass incarceration and what he described as “government slavery,” Darity referenced his work with the California State Reparations Task Force, which analyzed disproportionate arrest and imprisonment rates of Black Californians. Based on the average civil service wage and an estimated 1.48 years of excess imprisonment of Black Americans, the task force calculated the lost wages at $159,272 per person, amounting to a total economic loss of $228 billion for the state. 

"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."

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.

William ‘Sandy’ Darity insists federal dollars are the only path to full reparations - Andscape Advocates for Black equality call many things “reparations” – educational programs, housing assistance, health care clinics, even efforts to foster reconciliation between the races. But there is a sch...

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
