Post-Neoliberalism is the New Centrism At a recent convening devoted to the death of neoliberalism, what emerged was less a rupture with the past than a centrist project of status-quo stabilization.

Post-neoliberalism means getting comfortable with authoritarianism and mass destruction.

Nonprofit news outlets in New York seeking equitable state support Nonprofit news outlets in NY are seeking grants from Albany, arguing the funding would put them on equitable footing with for-profit outlets.

Democracy depends on public funding for nonprofit journalism. New York state supports corporate for-profit news but not the nonprofits that increasingly lead in reporting.

It feels weird, but I'm excited to say I just submitted all the chapters of my forthcoming book for first edits 🤩. It's about family money, wealth management, and poverty governance (surprise!). It's about systems of extraction and generational wealth. It's about laws, geographies, and narratives.

The Death of Direct File Tech for good not welcome in the Trump administration

New, from me: The Trump administration is killing Direct File, the free IRS e-filing tool.
Users love it, and it creates incredible value for the public.

It's the clearest sign that DOGE wants a government that serves private and not public interests. 🧵

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

"Especially in the light of the billionaire’s other blatant efforts to cozy up to Donald Trump, Bezos’s move is more than a gut punch," writes Guardian US columnist Margaret Sullivan.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.
