I've been very quiet on here and may remain so. But I have a new gig leading research for the Financial Health Network, an independent, national nonprofit think tank focused on people's financial well-being.

What are the ways forward for climate action under Trump?
National policy is foreclosed. But a lot can happen at the state and local level. @aldasky.bsky.social and I argue that we must embrace green economic populism, tackling the cost-of-living crisis and the climate crisis together 🧵
