I'm honored to collaborate with @AyannaPressley on this op-ed. We need the Fed--among the most powerful economic institutions on the planet--to take racism seriously.

What a totally financialized view of higher education governance looks like. Increase revenue, reduce labor costs, establish no basis to protect quality of services or non-profit mission of schools. archive.org/details/UCI-FY27…

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

Always nice when a box of books with your name on them arrives in the mail. From bookstore organizing to mounting a general strike, this book tells the how and why. $28 from Yale.

The stakes of education should be dramatically lower. To do that, we need a federal job guarantee and lifelong free education at all levels. As Du Bois put it: “for training of all for the work they can do in so far as such work is needed for the best interests of all.”

So terribly unfair, sending all my love to her family. NPR culture editor Rose Friedman dies at 38.

Anyways...
I took issue with a number of the claims made by @AntonJaegermm and @DanielZamoraV in their @thenation interview with @daniel_dsj2110 (which are repeated in their book). The Nation recently published my letter to the editor on this.

Incredible reporting from @sarahkliff. And the fact that the ACA required expansions of pregnancy coverage seems relevant to Senator Marshall’s opposition.
New exclusive: In his 25 years as an OBGYN, Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas repeatedly sued patients for outstanding medical debt. At least 81 were arrested during their court proceedings. Some had debt from c-sections; others from miscarriages.

Fed very well may have avoided a rate hike next week if not for a record surge in the wireless services component of the consumer price index in August, following recent plan changes by AT&T and T-Mobile. That alone pushed the CPI reading above forecasts (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…)
