@ThiaBallerina There are *different* types of inflation: some prices change quickly (like gas) day to day. While others change slowly (like rent) year to year or longer. We combine these to understand how much things cost overall, but really, multiple types (categories) of inflation are at play

Haiti is the only country in the world where descendants of enslaved people were forced to pay reparations to descendants of their masters for generations.

Nobody knew exactly how much Haiti paid France — and at what cost to its future — until now. https://t.co/ZxAwpSwJ98

does anyone else notice that when these people talk about “free speech”, it’s almost never about the freedom to challenge power and systemic abuse, and almost always about the freedom to denigrate marginalized people without being criticized for it?

@TheAnsolo_ @BigSmkyLoneWolf @TeslaHab @jiggyjayy2 The law is not a measure of morality. Period. At most it’s a measure of precaution.

@KristyT @tylerthecreator Janelle Monae’s Wondaland comes to mind. She’s expanded that vision into a universe over the last 13+ years

@MisaPb So, in your analysis, poor people use the subway because you’ve seen black people using the subway? Yes race and poverty are linked but race is not an absolute determining factor for class like your generalization presumes. And then you bother to say you’re not racist…

@KristyT @MochaTower They report if it’s over a certain $ amount, good context to have you plan on using it for something over $1-2k

@kelsey_dano @deitosclaudia @abbygov White people can not only speak Spanish but also can be Spanish and Latinx, so clarifying your family is white isn’t the helpful information you think it is.

@ztsamudzi @drcarlhart This whole article spends a lot of time removing the stigma of substance use whilst simultaneously reinforcing harmful tropes about those who struggle with addiction.

I think the pain in my chest is less about the election and more about the reality of how many people really do love white supremacy

It's not healthy the entire nation is hijacked by the electoral college, a vestige of slavery. It's not normal that the popular vote, which consistently goes for Democrats, is forfeited by this archaic system.

@NYCMayor the pandemic hasn’t ended but you’re enforcing opposite side street parking rules and giving $65 tickets even tho a huge % of the pop is working from home. Each st. has 1/2 a dozen cars double parked from 8:30-10am 🤞🏾for no ticket. Abuse of power.
