I find it incredibly powerful that Zohran is closing his campaign with visits with @NYTWA, with cabbies that he sat with for days in a hunger strike against city maltreatment.
"Without the night shift, there is no morning." Late Thursday night, I canvassed the taxi line at LaGuardia — and caught up with some old friends from @NYTWA.
If Amazon has this much power over state and local govt, think about how much power they have over the sellers on their platform. Read the full @ilsr report on the ways Amazon has quietly captured a growing share of local government spending here: ilsr.org/article/indepe….
UPDATE: The judge just ruled in our favor, ordering that the unsealed complaint (save for a few paragraphs) be made public next Thursday. Keeping it sealed "cannot be justified" in light of the public interest.
1. ILSR has filed a motion in federal court to unseal the FTC’s antitrust complaint against PepsiCo. The case bears directly on high grocery prices & food deserts—and would've marked a crucial revival of the neglected Robinson-Patman Act. But the public may never get to see it.
Want to know what a monopolized food system looks like? Tyson shutting down a plant in Lexington, Nebraska during a period of record high beef prices when demand for beef is sky high. Tyson would much rather shut down their plant in Lexington then sell it to a competitor. This…
Excellent read
Up next in our series on drivers of the affordability crisis: technology. I wrote about AI bots colluding with one another, anticipating consumer choices, & transferring wealth to the businesses that employ them. prospect.org/2025/12/02/pri…
i read this book cover to cover on the flight to australia, and seemingly like everyone else who cracks it open, just adored it washingtonpost.com/books/2025/11/…
A stat worth knowing: McKinsey the consulting firm has more employees than there are journalists of any kind in the US, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Newspapers are closing at an emergency-level rate—over the past 20 years, America has lost more than 3,000. For the past six years, the photographer Ann Hermes has been documenting the lives lived in these dying places across the country. See more images: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/059DXx
The "unaffordability crisis"--or as normal people call it, "the most important things costs way too much"--isn't inevitable. We can't let policymakers, including Democrats in Colorado, off the hook when they fail to use all of the levers of power to make life easier for working…
If you missed Bhairavi’s speech the first time, tune in tomorrow morning!
This Sunday at 11am on @WBAI , I’ll be airing Bhairavi Desai’s powerful speech from the @NYTWA delivered at the Unisphere in Queens during the press conference for Mayor-elect @ZohranKMamdani transition team.
Support small business. Break up monopolies.
It's small business saturday so New York Assemblymembers and State Senators should take a minute to co-sponsor an important proposed law that would allow local and independent grocers to compete against Walmart, Whole Foods, and Target. Today, they effectively subsidize the big…
Great to see @MicahLasher introduce the Consumer Grocery Pricing Fairness Act in New York State to ensure small grocers can compete with the big box stores and lower costs for families assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?default_f…
The idea that AI video and images can’t be “put back in the bag” is so obviously false. Plenty of content, from copyrighted songs to X rated material, is automatically struck down from platforms in a split second. Absolutely no reason we can’t mandate the same for AI content.
Until a few weeks ago, most immigration arrests in NYC were happening at appointments in the Manhattan federal building or immigration offices. That's over: we're now in the randomly-grabbed-while-out-getting-coffee stage of lawless enforcement. thecity.nyc/2025/11/26/ice…
Meta knowingly addicted young people to its platform, worsened their mental health, and refused to act. That's why we sued Meta and passed laws in New York to protect our kids from the harms of social media. cnbc.com/2025/11/23/met…
My take on last week's ruling in the FTC Facebook antitrust case (gift link:) nytimes.com/2025/11/23/opi…
This is the truth
NEW: I close-read the mountain of Epstein emails and tried to distill what they reveal about how the elite operate. Bottom line: It’s no accident that when he needed friends to rehabilitate him, he chose a power elite practiced at disregarding pain. nytimes.com/2025/11/23/opi…
