I’m off for a new adventure with @semafor More details on that to come. For now, I’m signing off with admiration and gratitude.
Today is my last day at the @financialtimes The @FT is a special place, and I have learned so much from generations of brilliant, generous colleagues and sources who have helped me on 27 years worth of stories.
If the Dems want answers, here's a big one. They ran in 2020 on taxing the rich and reining in this nonsense and then didn't—or couldn't. And so I think a lot of working-class voters said, Well, screw 'em. I made this vid for @MotherJones cc: @AOC
🚨 Whole Foods workers in Philly are unionizing!!! 🚨 There have been multiple efforts to unionize the high-end grocery chain throughout the years, but these workers are ready to take on Bezos. Don’t bet against Philly!! My latest for @inthesetimesmag: inthesetimes.com/article/whole-…

The NLRB just outlawed the single strongest union busting tactic. Enjoy this brief shining period before the Trump NLRB reverses this decision.
Today, the Board ruled that, going forward, an employer will violate the National Labor Relations Act by requiring employees to attend captive-audience meetings in which the employer expresses its views on unionization under threat of discipline/discharge. nlrb.gov/news-outreach/…
When I titled my book "Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone" I really did not anticipate how hard that phrase would eventually hit.
Scoop: Nearly a hundred delivery workers with @workersjusticep filed complaints with @helloDCWP, alleging that DoorDash is stealing their wages. Now the City is Investigating My latest for @Documentedny @Report4America documentedny.com/2024/11/13/doo…

A case study of Biden-Harris putting military spending (in this case, military aid for Israel) ahead of domestic programs (in this case, child care and disaster relief): theintercept.com/2024/03/01/bid…
Biden started off strong with populist policies, but in the last 2 years reverted to neoliberalism. x.com/stephensemler/…
Harris's unappealing platform originated in March 2022, when the Biden-Harris admin gave up on economic populism and pivoted toward austerity and historic Pentagon budgets. stephensemler.com/p/the-moment-b…
