It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

So many things happening, I nearly missed the @newrepublic.com piece I was quoted in last week. It raises the possibility of continued political threats to SNAP, underscoring a point I make often: the best way to politically protect the safety net is to build the power of those who rely on it.

Remember that striking Starbucks workers are asking you not to buy Starbucks right now

Great breakdown and explainers from @canarymedia.com on making the most of the tax credit-eligible upgrades before the end of the year! www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele...

I spoke to @sarabronin.bsky.social about her book on zoning and how it affects us all. Have a listen!

Shame on the AGSulzberger @nytimes.com “Challenge scientific orthodoxy … that vaccines save lives” NYT loves the heterodox opinions for clicks and to grow its subscriber base. -did women ruin the work place? -Nuzzi -Yarvin -vaccines Your media dollars are better spent supporting other outlets.

Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

I keep thinking the *process* of researching is as important as what you discover. It forces you to consider what impacts and relates to what you are looking for and the context of what you find impacts its meaning. Knowledge is not a box of cereal that you can just grab a handful of. #KM

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

this is the correct way to react to anything the president says-

EOs are nothing more than interoffice memos to executive officials from their boss, giving them some orders. EOs are nothing more than interoffice memos to executive officials from their boss, giving them some orders. EOs are nothing more than interoffice memos to executive officials from their b

Had a great time consulting with the “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” team over the past couple months, and they kindly gave my book a shoutout during the episode.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

I think that superhero movies have done a number of human beings conditioning some people to believe that extraordinary actions are what matter. And if one can't be a superhero, then simple, ordinary efforts aren't worth doing.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Spreading the word in case this is new info.

Just because we beat them doesn’t mean we should continue to let billionaires spend whatever they want on elections.

Voters in Pennsylvania have until 8 pm. Go vote 🗳️

The Tea Party never reached the magnitude of No Kings. Yet it was covered as if it represented “real America,” just like MAGA today. Those are not empirical assessments, but articles of faith – ideological claims about the world that are widely shared in the American mainstream discourse.

I've been harping on using FSA funds because workers lose $4 BILLION in unspent funds each year. I don't think many people even know about the FSA store as just one example of a simpler way to spend some of that money. Use it for others if you don't need it yourself. money.com/unspent-fsa-...

If you think Republicans losing their shit about Canada airing an ad with Reagan’s own words is crazy, let me remind you about the time that they lost their shit over NPR tweeting the Declaration of Independence on Independence Day.

It makes me very happy to know my book 📖 Corporatocracy is available through the @nycplan.org web.nypl.org/research/res... 📚

Random question for you all. A book on municipal bonds came out within the last 5 years or so (10 tops) that was I think an academic press but not a textbook. I followed the author on Twitter, but I cannot for the life of me remember her name or the name of the book. Any help appreciated!

Stop expecting better from the times, they are incapable.

The Bluesky government accounts want unhinged engagement with their accounts to screenshot and provide to Fox News to justify their authoritarianism and I’m not going to do their work for them it’s my day off.

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

I am once again wondering how airlines have not coordinated more efficient exiting from the plane than “everybody wait for each and every person ahead of them to get their bags out of the overhead bins one at a time.”

A loud reminder that this administration wants to bring back SEGREGATION as @victorerikray.bsky.social has pointed out and they're starting within the administration. A literal page out of Woodrow Wilson's playbook. #blacksky #news

This is amazing: @ladwp.com, the Los Angeles utility, has launched a program that will install solar+battery systems on qualifying low-to-moderate-income households, *for free*. Yes: free. If you know someone eligible, tell them to apply!

Just signed up for a new electricity supplier so we’ll be at 100% renewable power for our home! Already have solar panels that get us about halfway there (on an annual basis), so really excited to get the rest of the way!

Good moment to do whatever we can to stop giving our money to media companies - or any companies - that support the fascist regime. Difficult to do 100% of course, but by everyone keeping conscious of it and letting them know we’re fuckin done with them, we can make them pay a price. (1)

Congratulations @itsafronomics.bsky.social on launch day for "The Double Tax"!!! Keep soaring, inspiring and informing!

Oh...

Hey, so...Covid rates have gotten real high. Maybe change your behavior to fit this new risk profile? Stop eating indoors at restaurants, mask on mass transit, that kind of thing?

Here are four ways anyone can support and help their local library: • Get a library card ⭐️ • Use your library card 🌟 •Visit the library 💫 •Tell everyone to get a library card and support their local library ✨

lol because #TheDoubleTax drops in THREE DAYS, I asked folks in the streets of Philly if they think it's expensive to be a woman. Folks had STRONG opinions to say the LEAST. 😂 Pre-order #TheDoubleTax: annagifty.com #bluesky #blacksky #booksky #philly #news #librarysky

I don’t know who these people are, but it’s well said.

I wrote an open letter to the Germantown community after an individual was shot and killed on our block two weeks ago.

Them: but what about Bill Cli All of us:

It’s not. about. crime. For the love of God stop accepting the narrative frame that these people are choosing as they send hostile military forces into sovereign states against the wishes of citizens. Call this what it is. The President is threatening to overthrow the state of Maryland.
