I wrote a piece for @PostOpinions on how the Trump administration’s policies are making homelessness worse in America, and how despite rates dropping nationally, this decline is due to other factors that mask a more significant rise yet to come. Full piece in comments below ⬇️
We have arrived
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
Because it doesn’t tell us about living standards right now, Jesus Christ Debt to income ratios, home ownership prices, student loans, etc etc If you think neoliberalism is cool and sustainable just make the argument. Im so tired of the “one weird graph” routine
"The American middle class is shrinking, specifically because they make too much money to be considered middle class any more" is one of those things that's true but makes people irate when you say it out loud.
Finally getting the time to actually read things, hugely important piece by @ninthhostage on what Philly Mag could (and should) be. Philly is easily cooler than some other cites located about an hour directly North, and it would be nice to have a culture mag that reflects this
Available now (typos and all) ~ some notes on Philadelphia Magazines past and an imagined future - feathered in with some thoughts on Philadelphia media in general
Excellent analysis by @_rotimia Reforming our immigration system necessarily involves enforcement but that doesn't mean we need to have it run by a gang of lunatics who make everyone less safe
Some personal news: I just launched my Substack, American Pursuit, a newsletter on policy and building what's next. My first piece argues ICE has failed its core mission and lays out what type of immigration system Democrats should build instead.

Part of my most recent piece for Substack- While tech leaders promise a new industrial revolution through advancements in AI and robotics, I argue that like many tech innovations in the past, this one might actually just end up as another form of outsourcing labor
Wrote a new piece for Substack today on the rise of remotely operated robotics, a really bad vision for its future, and its connection to Silicon Valley's long running innovations in labor arbitrage. Got pretty dark at points, but worth the read! 🔗in comments and in bio.
New Substack post tomorrow! Been awhile, and honestly didn't expect this would be the one to make it out of the draft mines but I had a lot to say.
Mamdani brings Rooseveltian vision, youthful energy and pragmatic hope to the Big Apple. Wishing our Democratic nominee great success today.
The abundance vs populist vs socialist discourse is really only a thing on here, not among actual voters. The media loves factional wars because it flattens everything to sides like a sports game, easier to cover than the more complicated reality.
Maybe I’m not that online but, If (person is most popular *right now*) then (why didn’t they perform better than the president in their home state) Implied: because they didn’t, the claim is not true Is kind of a shockingly poor argument, notwithstanding the spread being .4
“I hate writing. I so intensely hate writing - I cannot tell you how much. The moment I am at the end of a project I have the idea that I didn’t really succeed in saying what I wanted to say, that I need a new project - it’s an absolute nightmare. My whole economy of writing is…
Sucks you can be a billionaire and still get one shot by the algo

It would be so cool if the conservative movement was serious about anything
This winter, UATX President Carlos Carvalho will lead his seminar "On Capitalism"—a deep dive into the ideas that built the modern world.
