Before Jim Crow, African Americans through Virginia's Readjuster coalition sought an honest shuffle and a new deal. #JobGuarantee #CancelStudentDebt #MMT

The Levy Institute mourns the passing of Anwar Shaikh, scholar, teacher, and mentor to a generation of socially committed economists. We are committed to the stewardship of his archives for the future.

AI will do to minds what the decline in manual labor did to bodies.

The privileged few will keep exercising their minds with literature, art and science, just like they kept exercising their bodies despite escalators, elevators and desk work.

The many will suffer something akin to the obesity crisis but for the mind.

We mark the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. as a great weight to carry on his work shifts to our shoulders.

“This research indicates that regulatory reforms may have limited impact on housing affordability and that differences in housing supply constraints are not the fundamental drivers of differences in housing dynamics across metro areas…an alternative explanation… house price growth may simply reflect growth in housing demand, driven in part by growth in average income, such that questions of housing affordability may primarily be about differences in income growth at the top of the distribution relative to the middle.”

@lashrecseaird @kimadamsforva @TeamFreedomVA Start with tenants, not staff. https://t.co/Auc54Iypj9 empowers tenants the locality stand in for them in safety, health, and fire legal action. Even tenant oriented code enforcement can cause displacement and gentrification, so proactive care is needed to build up communities.

@lashrecseaird @kimadamsforva @TeamFreedomVA But their https://t.co/5MumLWDzSc / https://t.co/wSFJelsb8X run counter to their ideals and other bills. See next for a better way. 🧵

Instead of spreading "woke" CRT that makes white ppl "uncomfortable," Contrabandcamp's #BHM series gives you primary sources

Today, learn about the formerly enslaved man who went John Wick on 50 armed Klansmen & lived to tell his story...

@StefanFSchubert Nice to see Morelli's name. The math puzzles he worked on were always more interesting than the boring pseudo-math pseudo-econ with which his peers struggled.

[New Readjuster @newreadjuster]

@bradvoracek @NathanTankus A 1999 impetus of energy into the grad program that spawned MMT was that confusions of partial derivatives needn't be the core of econ education. A balanced com/hardware test/training ML method in a room full of RISC processors was used to compute "expert" weights as a demo.

@StephanieKelton And Ben Cline , VA CD06, heard it 12/20/2018, but rather than use this to give him a serious challenge, Democrats actively suppressed it.

[New Readjuster @newreadjuster]

@DelegateCallsen Harrisonburg had an interesting spin on this. People turned out to prevent the Great General Cantrell from being dishonored by having his name replaced by that of #MLK. There was no general. He was a typo. See https://t.co/ZQOSL25y14

[New Readjuster @newreadjuster]

This is one to watch, whether in Virginia or not.

Lieutenant Governor candidate @SenatorHashmi’s campaign says they raised more than $550K during the second half of 2024 as she seeks the Democratic nomination this year. Full reports come out later this month

[New Readjuster @newreadjuster]

Guards from Harrisonburg and Rockingham County were sent to shore up a wide perimeter so people wouldn't hear him for fear that he might make a final speech. Guns were commonplace, his words were what they really feared.

[Lt. Governor Ghazala Hashmi @ltgovhashmi]

Today, I’m launching my campaign for Lieutenant Governor. Across the country & here at home, we have seen our communities, freedoms, & values come under attack. I am committed to standing up for all Virginians & protecting our progress. Join my campaign: https://t.co/yHGeHdwqbI

One of the most substantive statements we've seen from a Virginia official on the election outcome.

[Lt. Governor Ghazala Hashmi @ltgovhashmi]

My statement on the 2024 presidential election:

[New Readjuster @newreadjuster]

Wow.. "We are not chasing the bag, we are the bag." Finally someone to take up the #MMT mantle of @JohnYarmuth ? Maybe there is hope.

[Rosa DeLauro @rosadelauro]

The opps are going to hate this one🤭

[New Readjuster @newreadjuster]

@AdeleMcClure_ The missing middle argument is based on confused economics. The racial exclusion argument brought late by NAACP points to where the center of the argument should be. @MehrsaBaradaran, not Rothstein, is where the econ is. This is being fought around HB528 in Housing Commission.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

I'm proud to join @SenSanders and @RepPressley in the fight against Long COVID. The Long COVID Research Moonshot Act will allocate $10 billion to accelerate research and improve treatment of long COVID.

We can't ignore this public health emergency.

📢 I am especially pleased to inaugurate this scholarship. John Henry was a remarkable teacher, scholar, and human being.
He spent his final years teaching at @LevyEconGrad and, with this gift, his work will continue to influence a new generation of economists.
