Uri @urigman.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Republicans and austerity-minded Dems have spent decades sabotaging the state's capacity to deliver universal and cheap welfare programs, then use the wreckage left from those programs as evidence for their radical free-marketist ideology. That strategy is collapsing 030
Uri @urigman.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Chait says the left treats antitrust "more like a religion than an economic theory." But abundance, meanwhile, is just "a wonky plan to build more housing and infrastructure." Meanwhile Reid Hoffman types and certain Senate Dems treat the book Abundance like literal gospel. 021
Uri @urigman.bsky.social · 26/05/2026There’s legit debate to be had about how successful the neo-Brandeisian project has been, but I always find it bad-faith when people blame those anti-monopoly politics for Biden’s political failure, as if it wasn’t plainly his age and visible decline that accounted for like 90% of his unpopularity.theatlantic.comA Sweeping Theory of Everything Is Revolutionizing the Democratic PartyDemocrats are in thrall to the idea that corporate consolidation is America’s biggest, and maybe only, problem. 000

Uri @urigman.bsky.social · 04/05/2026A feat of investigative journalism from @pablo.show just won the Pulitzer for Audio Reporting for uncovering how Steve Ballmer evaded NBA salary cap rules for the Clippers, despite efforts from other billionaires, like Mark Cuban, to discredit it. Now we wait for the NBA’s verdict this offseason... 000
Uri @urigman.bsky.social · 06/04/2026The way he throws his comms director under the bus is terrible. Also how are you the head of the Democratic Strategic Communications Committee and claim not to know one of the most profiled new media commentators in the past year? 000

Uri @urigman.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Some of my earliest memories are bringing in the Post each morning and combing thru all the box scores in the sports section before school. Bezos tanked the Post by not endorsing in '24 and is now using those losses to justify decimating one of the few remaining national-facing newspapers. Terrible 100

Reposted by UriElizabeth Wilkins @elizabethwwilkins.bsky.social · 18/11/2025This story is honestly insane. Faraway investors buying up Detroit homes and turning them into crypto tokens; letting housing fall into disrepair, and evicting residents. This is what happens in an extraction economy. 18653

Uri @urigman.bsky.social · 29/10/2025The way the left has gone on the defensive / allowed the Overton window to move rightwards on humanitarian parole programs, which were an overwhelmingly successful Biden admin innovation, is another messaging failure from the Harris campaign + Dem consultants. 020
