Amber & her fellow NYC baristas are walking out alongside workers across the country! Starbucks should focus on the problems that matter - like understaffing, customer wait times, high prices, & low wages for baristas - instead of making us buy new clothes for a drab dress code.

I wrote for Literary Hub and Economic Hardship Reporting Project about the bizarre kitsch of Trump and Vance going about dolls. Social class kitsch and it has taken a real issue-- kid consumerism-- and turned it into sexist gibberish. #branded

The Wall Street Journal Yes! The Democratic Party can be the vanguard of the precariat (as articluated by Alissa Quart) even if The Wall Street Journal thinks that a bad thing; it's time that the Party identified itself w those who find themselves worse off, rather than-Obama style-tech billionaires & media celebrities.

The Democratic Party is losing today because it didn't face the fallout from the 2008 Great Recession, which wiped out a lot of people's wealth. That was a big messaging mistake: not acknowledging the enduring pain and loss during that time and after economichardship.org/2025/07/rural-…

it's nearly impossible for someone who makes six figures and up to understand how anyone gets by on half that or less. but that lower class includes most of the country! meanwhile virtually all journalism &culture comes from a sheltered pov that only sometimes gestures at empathy

1. Call me "Cassandra" but I repeat: it's the ADMINISTRATIVE CLASS that's handing society to fascists: University Administration, Corporate Executives, Politicians, Law Partners, Supreme Court Justices- people w/ their hands on the wheel, anyone who can fly flags at half-mast.
