Immigration is an essential ingredient in American prosperity. Anyone that tells you otherwise is selling you hate to make you buy being poorer.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Happy to share that my next book 'The Fiscal Fed' will be published by University of Chicago Press in Fall 2026!

Cover design pending: happy to share this beautiful poster from the Harvard Law and Political Economy Project (2023).

“Since the announcement of their hunger strike on 20 October till 10 December 2025, the hunger strike by jailed Palestine Action activists was mentioned a total of 12 times in the British mainstream newspapers.”

That is so damning and grim.
The UK media’s silence on the Palestine Action activists’ hunger strikes is a deliberate editorial choice - Media@LSE
LSE's Professor Bart Cammaerts discusses the lack of coverage of the hunger strikes of imprisoned Palestine Action activists in the UK media.

The pressure of low wages, combined with high rent and groceries, is undoubtedly straining so many budgets this holiday season.

The economy has been this way, but it’s gotten worse.

Just know you’re not alone. Talk to people, chances are they’re feeling it, too.

I wonder if something else happened in 2008.
A new PNAS paper finds that polarization increased immediately after the invention of smartphones and the advent of social media, which both appeared around the same year, 2008.

Trump says it's an A++++ economy. He's right. His billionaire friends have never had it better.

If you're a working class person:
👉60% live paycheck to paycheck
👉Grocery prices at record highs
👉Premiums to double for 20+ million

The economy must work for all, not just the 1%

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike.

When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.

The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.

We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.

Reject the hate. Reject them.

This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

Trump has bombed ships from Trinidad & Tobago, Colombia and Venezuela. He's threatening regime change. He's bombed Yemen, Somalia and Iran. He's threatened Greenland and Panama and Canada (and this is only in his 2nd term)

And fuck them all unless they do
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.
