Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal article titled "The Big Money in Todayβs Economy Is Going to Capital, Not Labor." Two charts show trends since 1980: corporate profits rising as a share of gross domestic income, while labor compensation steadily declines.
The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.
This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

"[T]his Court has no faith that the Government would comply with an order to hold a bond hearing."
It is difficult to overstate how insane of a situation it is that a judge makes such a statement in a court order, and that this statement is absolutely reasonable.

Exclusive | Trump to Repeal Landmark Climate Finding in Huge Regulatory Rollback
The move would reverse a legal determination that greenhouse gases threaten public health.
Trump is trying to repeal the "endangerment finding" -- the scientific investigation that led EPA to conclude that climate change is dangerous to humans.
It's scientifically unjustifiable of course, but they're going to have to justify it to a court. That should be fun to watch.

At the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny challenged the meaning of βAmericaβ
The Puerto Rican starβs vision of American identity moved beyond colonial tropes to span an entire hemisphere
"For many of us who carry Puerto Rico in our hearts, there are certain words that are impossible to swallow. When we read a description of Puerto Rico as a 'territory' or 'commonwealth,' we know the speaker is uncomfortable with the reality that Puerto Rico is a colony & that the US is a colonizer."

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie
Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.
Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America β and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.
And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.

2025 Corruption Perceptions Index - Explore United Statesβs results
How does United States measure up in the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index?
The USA has just dropped to 28th, its lowest position ever, in Transparency International's corruption index.
With a score of just 64 out of a possible 100, the USA is seen as much more corrupt than nearly all other developed countries.

The Democratic Plan to βReformβ ICE Misses One Huge Thing
We are no longer talking about individual law enforcement agencies, but rather a giant, singular blob.
This amorphous and ever-shifting group of agents drawn from across the federal government looks increasingly like a catchall national police force operating at the direction of the White House itself. slate.trib.al/oXoO9DU
