I was glad to discuss “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” tonight at @huntercollege.bsky.social. America’s educators are what make our democracy strong—by teaching students how to think, not what to think, & creating opportunities for all kids to succeed. That’s why my book is a love letter to teachers.

High costs, worse outcomes, and unequal access — these are just a few ways the US healthcare system is failing, according to Hunter College Distinguished Professors of Public Health @swoolhandler.bsky.social and David Himmelstein. Read their critique here: www.statnews.com/2025/10/21/h...
The U.S. experiment with profit-driven health care has failed
“The market competition, managed care, and ‘corporate efficiency’ that economists prescribed as the cure for health care inflation instead accelerated it.”
