Quick lesson on “ghetto taxes.” This is the phenomenon where people with less income actually pay more for the same things rich people do. <thread> 🧵 👇

CNN’s @jaketapper: “Sick and in isolation, Mr. President, you have become a symbol of your own failures. Failures of recklessness, ignorance, arrogance. The same failures you have been inflicting on the rest of us ... Get well and get it together" #CNNSOTU

At least 250,000 more Americans have died so far this year than usual, a markedly higher number than the number of reported deaths from Covid. We have to look at deaths from all causes to accurately measure the pandemic's impact. nyti.ms/3hTzt3v

The Trump campaign's ads and online videos are just so dishonest, way worse than your standard political spin. My own video this week looks at how they've used deceptively clipped quotes and deceptively edited or labeled images to attack Biden: cnn.com/videos/politic…

Federal debt is scaring lots of smart people now. It could lead to future tax hikes and spending cuts But what if we never pay it back? Debt-to-GDP would still decline if interest rates stay below growth rates (r<g). The history of r and g in Canada:

1. This is the Queen's Hotel. It once stood on Front Street in Toronto. During the American Civil War, it was filled with Confederate soldiers and spies — from there, they plotted to win the war & preserve slavery. Here's a thread about Torontonian support for the Confederacy.

The central and salient consideration of American racial politics shouldn’t center around pride in how far we’ve come, but in humble realization of how much farther we have to go. A story of personal change: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/american-rac…

Something I've learned while in law school is about the social construction of crime. I work in a legal clinic on wage theft cases, where employers have "improperly paid" workers by not paying, paying below min wage, withholding overtime, paid sick time, etc. 1/
