The oligarchy says “stop talking about egg prices!”
Trump’s trade wars, tax cuts for the rich, & rampant corporate greed have raised the cost of living for working families. Stop gaslighting us—eggs are just the tip of the iceberg.

Step one to making sure Eric Adams is a one-term mayor: buy this hat.

There are patches of snow on the ground, but it's nothing like how it used to be. The climate crisis has changed my home, all of our homes. For the Evergreen Review I wrote about those changes and how I came to understand them and fight them.

A victory for the Cuban people and the Cuba solidarity movement! The Biden admin has taken the long overdue step of removing #Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terror list.

U.S. Representatives Barbara Lee (CA-12), Jim McGovern (MA-2), Gregory Meeks (NY-5), and Joaquin Castro (TX-20) led their colleagues in writing a letter to President Joe Biden urging immediate sanctions relief for the Cuban people amid widespread blackouts and an escalating energy crisis, exacerbated by the impact of Hurricane Rafael. “The situation is not only causing immense suffering for the Cuban people but also poses serious risks to U.S. national security interests,” the lawmakers wrote. “If left unaddressed, the crisis will almost certainly fuel increased migration, strain U.S. border management systems, and fully destabilize the already-strained Caribbean region.” Since 2022, over 850,000 Cubans have sought refuge in the United States. The ongoing collapse of essential services, particularly electricity, has further exacerbated this exodus. The lawmakers requested that President Biden remove the state sponsor of terror designation, expedite emergency humanitarian aid and technical assistance, issue safe harbor letters to address overcompliance with sanctions, suspend sanctions impeding aid, and facilitate energy infrastructure repair and modernization. “Even temporary relief can save lives and permit the Cuban people a chance to insulate themselves and their families from further vulnerability. We urge your administration to act swiftly to implement these measures and mitigate the growing crisis in Cuba while advancing U.S. interests in the region,” concluded the lawmakers.

Fun fact: I worked at the parent company when they acquired Newsweek. Turned out the company was run by a cult and the founders were later raided by the FBI.
