OK, about this... First the journalism. I've seen similar framing in stories by The New York Times and The Atlantic and elsewhere. Supposedly skeptical journalists have swallowed hook, line and sinker the framing these guys push forth. I see no challenge. It's like an ad for this place. 1/

Timothée Chalamet grew up in affordable housing for artists in NYC. We can make New York a city for everybody — not just millionaires and billionaires — by bringing back social housing.

The world’s richest man took $190 million away from kids with cancer.

LeBron James was spotted at his birthday party rapping the lyrics to the songs "You Don't Know" by Jay-Z and "Man at the Garden" by Kendrick Lamar.

This is a simple, straightforward demand for the purposes of organizing.

This is smart from the AFL-CIO

Irony: if you’re good enough to win all those things, then winning them won’t feel as good or as pure as a grabbing a last-minute draw in the derby. Look at Musk, he’s won all that and more and he’s still miserable. This is what actual glory looks like. ⬇️⬇️

With Mamdani, with Biden-Harris, with Obama, the panicked rage of the wealthy elite has typically been less about material fears — the tax hikes and regulatory burdens have all been pretty small — than about who gets to be, and see themselves, as heroes in our culture.
