@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?
@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…
@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.

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.
