Officials Create ‘Fictional Gang’ To Punish Phoenix Protesters
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago
Amy Kaper promises she is not a gang member. The 29-year-old graduate student does not run drugs, traffic guns, or work in any organized crime ring. But, she did protest police violence last year. For that, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and the Phoenix Police Department are aggressively prosecuting Kaper — and a group of 17 other defendants, including three minors — for being part of a criminal street gang following an October 17 protest in downtown Phoenix. In fact, officers and prosecutors allege the group is as dangerous — and in some ways more dangerous — than notorio...

Cord-cutting trends, already on the ascendence even before the coronavirus pandemic, escalated to new heights in 2020. However, millions of people continue to subscribe to traditional pay TV.

CBO on the Minimum Wage
Greg Mankiw, Greg Mankiw's Blog - 9 hours ago
NPR reports: Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025 would increase wages for at least 17 million people, but also put 1.4 million Americans out of work, according to a study by the Congressional Budget Office released on Monday. A phase-in of a $15 minimum wage would also lift some 900,000 out of poverty, according to the nonpartisan CBO. This higher federal minimum could raise wages for an additional 10 million workers who would otherwise make sightly above that wage rate, the study found. Potential job losses were estimated to affect 0.9 percent of workers, the...

Impeachment and bullshit
Andrew Koppelman, Balkinization - 9 hours ago
Almost all Republican Senators – 45 out of 50 – agree with Donald Trump’s lawyers that it would be unconstitutional to impeach Donald Trump after he has left office. The legal claim is weak, but it is mighty convenient. It gives them an excuse (a weak one, as I’ll explain) for voting to acquit without having to take any position on whether his incitement of the riot of January 6, and his bland, passive indifference as his devoted followers spread death and destruction, were impeachable offenses. The constitutional claim is being carefullydebated, but it should not be taken ser...
