Excuse me? Who exactly has this “disposable income” you speak of? 🤔 FFS!

True! 👇 You can be paying attention (and making notes) without glorifying things.

This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast. "We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

I got shingles 4yrs ago (53). Worst, most painful experience of my life! On my face & IN my eye. Nerve pain is a beast entirely unto itself 🔥🔥🔥Pain level beyond giving birth or getting iud’s… lasted for weeks. If you’ve had chicken pox, you can get shingles…get vaccinated! You do NOT want it, ever.

On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

There is a real and scary rise of far-right extremism happening right now -- but we need to be careful not to make this into a witch hunt. Far right culture exists, but not everything they embrace is only embraced by them. @amaramarasingam.bsky.social and @acmack.bsky.social explain the nuance:

Grizzly cubs often stick together for a year or two after their mom shows them the door. These two are enjoying a nice fresh carcass while waiting for THE EPSTEIN FILES.
