They found him. He died.
Another murder by our immigration goon squads
Sidewalk socialism
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

thatβs right
πThe federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS
FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS
Chuck Schumer spectacularly failed the βvote blue no matter whoβ test and should be hounded from office
the housing is obviously more affordable than blue state housing - the biggest thing that matters here are the relative prices and wages
blue states under built relative to red states and now will pay the price while their citizens continue to put their heads in the sand about supply and demand
Doesnβt change congress, how are you gonna get the votes?
There are tons of well supported policy interventions that are far more ambitious and βobviousβ than what the democrats have been able to deliver for over a decade.
the pushback here is that we may need even more dramatic improvements to break through. Congestion pricing was well-supported by theory but not politically popular until implementation. Shifting income taxes to land value taxes could be similarly dramatic. or finally delivering a public option.
Itβs kinda the old kind of false consciousness! Who owns social media?
If voters canβt actually evaluate material conditions politics becomes detached from materialism which is bad for anyone but the rich imo
this is not his argument, if i read him right, his argument is that social media makes many people unable to process what issues are real at scale or not and that this is a problem for people who are serious about democracy
What Iβm getting at is that I trust Matt to debunk bad interpretation of economic statistics so I wonder what his positive interpretation is, in the sense of what problems could we start shouting about that heβd say βyup that is a huge problemβ
Unemployment, welfare heβs said I imagine housing too
itβs completely normal for a data source to be 1 year out of date
And wills argument has been ongoing since 2022 lmao!
So unless you think his social media theory is fine in 2023/24 but suddenly became wrong in 25 you were being a pedant
Have you published a blog or paper anywhere sort of outlining what you consider to be the biggest βrealβ economic drags on the average persons finances right now? Iβm always happy to see you correcting data misuse but Iβm curious what you consider to be the steelman of βpeople are strugglingβ
but i can't find one that is the same source as my initial graph, which splits out home/nonhome. so ig ill have to wait until those numbers come out to satisfy you. see you then!
if you wanna mix sources (this one is the bureau of labor statistics) it was a decent size drop in 2025 to return to the overall trend of slow decline
pedantry at its finest
idk why we believe in manufacturing consent wrt american imperialism but not about the economic management of democratic presidents. social media/the news media absolutely tip the scales to prime people against democrats and the left broadly
this doesn't contradict will's point. he said people will take 1 example of price shocks and then apply it to the whole of a sector if prompted by the news media.
inflation can make prices go up but if wages are keeping up we'd expect % spent on food to be stable, and it largely is.
Prices just over doubling over 20 years?
