@josephcox.bsky.social and @samuel-bagg.bsky.social discuss how social identity shapes our worldview. Timely given the Minneapolis tragedies.

Even with video clips, some are defending ICE for killing Renee Good. Why? @josephcox.bsky.social sits down with @samuel-bagg.bsky.social, assistant professor of political science at the University of South Carolina, about how self-identity alters truths.

When big banks charge 24% or 30% interest on credit cards, they are not engaged in the business of "making credit available." They are involved in extortion and loan sharking.
