I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

One of my most galaxy-brained takes is that politicians and political groups should talk more about workers’ share of national income. It's one of the clearest, simplest ways to describe how billionaires and corporate elites captured so much of the economy--and something policy can change.

Labor's bargaining position has worsened markedly in the last half-decade.

@shannimcg.bsky.social had this great insight that the "Woke 1.0" discourse is a product of the "polarization" meta-narrative. Essentially, since we had radical, crazy, dangerous, ideas/movements from the right (MAGA, Jan 6, anti-CRT/DEI), there must have been equivalents on the left. They weren't.

Loreto Javar, a green card holder who’s lived in the United States for over three decades and is being treated for Stage 4 prostate cancer, has been held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma for more than two months. 

A 76-year-old retired hotel worker who lives in Fife with his wife and daughter, Javar was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials June 23 during an interview for his U.S. citizenship application in Tukwila. He was receiving ongoing cancer treatment when he was taken into ICE custody, his family said, and has missed several medical appointments since his arrest.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an old man lies in a hospice bed, glancing out the window as day breaks. There is a woman asleep on a small couch next to him. The man thinks to himself, “dang, that was stressful. Wouldn’t mind a chill one next time.” Panel 2: the cycle of death and rebirth continues on, represented by the samsara wheel of life, along with splash text which reads: REINCARNATE-O! Panel 3: a solitary duck swims peacefully along the water. It thinks to itself, “nice”
