The Senate votes TOMORROW on the Protect College Sports Act. It’s a bill written by and for the bosses to put new obstacles in the way for athletes organizing a union. Senators should stand with them and vote NO. act.aflcio.org/call_campaign…

I’m excited to launch my new report, State Transformation for Plan México, co-authored with @LaraMerling , at @UNAM_MX tomorrow. At the heart of Plan México is a vision of prosperidad compartida — raising investment, expanding domestic productive capacity and ensuring that growth is shared across people, sectors and territories. The report focuses on building the economic and institutional architecture needed to support the direction set by the Mexican government: turning this ambition into a new, more inclusive sustainable path to growth.

Sen @ninaturner, as always is fire, or as she brilliantly labels herself “A Hell Raising Humanitarian” proud that she is in our inaugural class of Senior Fellows at @RacePowerPolicy Experts Debate: Is democratic socialism good for the party? piped.video/DxUBEeLJmys?si=157o… via @YouTube

I’m proud that our mayor acknowledges and has a strategy and plans to better understand & potentially remedy this tragedy. It’s heartening that our mayor governs for all. #GoodGovernance #HumanDignity #SocialEmpathy
A person in City custody died yesterday evening following a court appearance in Queens. Department of Correction staff performed CPR until emergency medical services arrived to take him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. I extend my condolences to his family. In line with standard practice, the DOC and its oversight partners will investigate the circumstances of his death.

Anti-fascist Economics is coming to Sweden!
Har skrivit, med utgångspunkt i Isabella Webers kommande Anti-Fascist Economics, om varför kampen mot extremhögern börjar i mataffären och varför det inte räcker att bara varna för SD. När demokratin slutar uppfattas som kapabel att påverka människors vardagsliv får ytterhögern monopol på att ha handlingskraft. @IsabellaMWeber arbetet.se/2026/09/12/sverig…

Vulgar diplomacy is reprehensible…what’s more it will weaken the dollar and it is bad for our economy. US against the world is largely a slogan and a losing proposition.

Economist @DarrickHamilton: "It is no surprise that by the 1970s, at a time when the unionization rates of black Americans exceeded those of white Americans, there was an attack on organized labor, civil rights and government intervention more generally. Corporate elites framed the social, political, and economic gains of black Americans as a threat to the economic and cultural positioning of whites and the white working class. What followed were policies that pushed for deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy, punitive control of the underclass, and the dismantling of labor organizing. Thinly veiled stigmatization based on anti-blackness was strategically used as political fodder to divide the working class by race, characterizing government actions on behalf of social welfare as inefficient and unfairly biased towards tipping the scales to undeserving “welfare queens”, “super predators”, and “deadbeat dads”.
