On April 9, San Bernardino sheriff’s deputies were caught on video by a news chopper beating up out of Francis Jared Pusok, who fled on a horse that kicked a deputy. (Pusok’s attorney says the deputies were trying to serve a warrant that had nothing to do with him.) Yesterday, the county settled in record time for $650,000. Pusok told a Los Angeles TV station one of the deputies whispered in his ear, “This isn’t over.” Right, this won’t be over until he’s fired, because retaliation has no place in legitimate policing.

Since World War II, inequality in the U.S. has gone through two, dramatically different phases.
In the first phase, known as the great compression, inequality fell. Incomes rose for people in the bottom 90 percent of the income distribution, as the postwar boom led to high demand for workers with low and moderate skills.
At the same time, income was basically stagnant for the top 1 percent of earners. A combination of high marginal tax rates (around 80 percent) for the wealthy, and social norms, may have kept a lid on wages at the top, according to the economists who gathered the data we used to make the graphs.
In the last 35 years, the reverse occurred. Top marginal tax rates fell sharply. Incomes rose for those in the top 1 percent, largely driven by rapidly rising pay for top executives.
At the same time, a combination of global competition, automation, and declining union membership, among other factors, led to stagnant wages for most workers.
In theory, it should be possible for incomes to rise for everyone at the same time — for the gains of economic growth to be broadly distributed year after year. But the takeaway from these graphs is that since World War II, that’s never really happened in the U.S.

Poland has demanded an apology for FBI Director James Comey’s allusion in a Washington Post op-ed to Poles who collaborated with Germans in carrying out the Holocaust, CBS News reports. Comey said, “In their minds, the murderers and accomplices of Germany, and Poland, and Hungary, and so many, many other places didn’t do something evil. They convinced themselves it was the right thing to do, the thing they had to do. That’s what people do. And that should truly frighten us.”Which is true; some Poles, Hungarians, Lithuanians, Danes, and people of other Nazi-occupied countries didcollaborate with the Germans in carrying out Nazi atrocities and genocides. But the State Department will tuck its head under its wing and stroke Poland’s ruffled feathers, and Comey will be made to eat his words.

1% Elections, The Privatization of the State, a Fourth Branch of Government, and the Demobilization of “We the People”
Have you ever undertaken some task you felt less than qualified for, but knew that someone needed to do? Consider this piece my version of that, and let me put what I do understand about it in a nutshell: based on developments in our post-9/11 world, we could be watching the birth of a new American political system and way of governing for which, as yet, we have no name.
And here’s what I find strange: the evidence of this, however inchoate, is all around us and yet it’s as if we can’t bear to take it in or make sense of it or even say that it might be so.
Let me make my case, however minimally, based on five areas in which at least the faint outlines of that new system seem to be emerging: political campaigns and elections; the privatization of Washington through the marriage of the corporation and the state; the de-legitimization of our traditional system of governance; the empowerment of the national security state as an untouchable fourth branch of government; and the demobilization of “we the people.”
