That metric measures annual change. But inflation is cumulative. Folks are still feeling the effects of higher historical annual changes, which have outpaced wage growth for some time. Inflation (when contrasted with wage growth) measures how much worse things are getting, not how bad they are now.
I find it helpful to say that they are structurally indifferent to truth. Even when they're right it's incidental to the process
When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge.
I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass.
Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.
Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”
Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”
Good night. Happy Friday. Here’s a bird that is a whole sound department.

Trump would “create more, not less, stability in their lives”.
What? Just… what?
Whether you like his policies or not, there is nothing stable or consistent about his governing.
literally your customer base was 90% parents of young children who want a good future for their kids in which they can be free to be themselves, no matter who they are. you told those people to go fuck themselves. they won't be back
“That's a problem for people who interpret polls for a living.”
That undersells this result. I think it’s a problem for American society itself.
And of course the estate would never win a wrongful death case what with ICE immunity and the rammer’s provoking actions.
I’m not even sure life insurance would pay out due to the intentional reckless endangerment for their life.
And that’s all in addition to the felony conviction they’d have for interfering with law enforcement. Assuming they survived ICE’s retaliatory brutality.
And the ICE agents— despite being immune for their own thuggery— would probably have successful causes of action for any injury or distress they suffered. In addition to them getting admin leave and workers comp payments/help.
They’d have to pay for any repairs they wanted to make on their own vehicle and ICE’s rental company would sue for the damage to ICE’s vehicle. And the insurance company wouldn’t defend in court either so add on attorney’s fees.
It wouldn’t just be the deductible. Insurance wouldn’t cover anything for an intentional act like that.
When South Korea successfully stopped a coup, arrested the former president, and prosecuted him, it sent a very strong message to everyone else:
"You can trust that 4 years from now, you won't have to worry about him returning and fucking everything up."
The US under Biden did the exact opposite.
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.
He spent a year in jail for this.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...
