We’re living in a two-tiered economy.
Corporate profits surged over 35% since Trump’s tariffs. Meanwhile, layoffs have exploded to over 1.1 million this year – the highest since the pandemic.

The government shutdown is over, but the cat is out of the bag. We’ve seen where this Congress’ priorities lie.
The poor and middle class should never again be used as a bargaining chip.

I learned something new about carrots today. Mass consolidation hurts us all.
One person died and at least 38 got sick after an E. coli outbreak linked to organic carrots.
And it's all from one company.
Just two carrot suppliers control 60% of the market, so when one has a problem it has a huge impact. Corporate consolidation hurts us all.

Today @ericblanc.bsky.social and I co-published an article on why labor’s resurgence can continue. While Trump is preparing major attacks against labor, unions are actually well-positioned to continue their organizing and bargaining momentum. 1/
