"I'll offer my own endorsement from the [New York Times Notable] 100: Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism, by Anne Case and Angus Deaton. It covers arguably the single most alarming development in American life, one that helps explain the frustration pulsing through the country: In many communities, people are not living as long as their parents did." --David Leonhardt, New York Times

This is also what mass deportation looks like - the state harassing and humiliating citizens. These kinds of stories can further turn the public against already unpopular policies.
Before they left, Marisa said one of the agents made a comment.

“One of them said, ‘I know it was a little rough this morning,’” she said. “It was so denigrating. That you do all of this to a family, to women, your fellow citizens. And it was a little rough? You literally traumatized me and my daughters for life. We’re going to have to go get help or get over this somehow.”

Now, Marisa said they have, quite literally, nothing.

“I said, ‘when are we going to get our stuff back?’ They said it could be days or it could be months,” she said.

President Trump has adopted William McKinley as a role model. But in purloining a simplistic version of McKinley’s attitudes toward tariffs, Trump is ignoring the valuable lessons they have to offer. nyer.cm/9wzzZty

"Question the unstated alliance between 'those who benefit from the status quo and those whose way of thinking about the world tends to defend it.'" Great three-book review on the role of economics in policy. www.nybooks.com/articles/202... @nybooks.com @princetonupress.bsky.social

Love the honesty in this intro/endorsement by Benny Goodman. “This book… contains a certain number of songs which I did not like then, have subsequently forgotten, and, frankly speaking, am not remotely tempted to add to my repertoire.”
