Every Friday, I run a roundup of income inequality news on Untrickled. This week: What’s Helping You Cope With Fascism? open.substack.com/pub/michelle...

@rosemarykirstein.bsky.social: I just subscribed to you on Substack. Looking for any and all of your writing! How’s your next book coming along? I can’t wait to read it!

I’m a bit hurt I haven’t been included in any of Hegseth’s secret chats.

open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... The Trumpers need to stop claiming they didn’t vote for this. YES THEY FUCKING DID AND WE TRIED TO WARN THEM.

We put it in the Constitution that only natural born citizens could be elected president. It didn’t occur to anyone that the presidency could simply be purchased instead.

Ironing is dead.

The Working Class Needs OSHA, Not Oligarchs open.substack.com/pub/michelle... Don't you dare try to tell me you support the working class but you want to get rid of OSHA.

I’m a Substack Bestseller as of today! I hope this helps me spread my message about income inequality.

Imprison Musk.

Please call your elected representatives and let them know we DO NOT consent to having Musk take over, and we DO NOT want any more crack-pots confirmed! You can find the names and contact info of your elected representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

Not looking forward to my next power bill.

Truest thing I’ve seen recently!

The more you care, and the more your work benefits society, the less money you're likely to make.

What a stark contrast between this good man and the man who is about to once again dishonor the office of the presidency.

“Just remember this, Mr. Potter, this rabble you're talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community.”

One of my stories is among the top-highlighted pieces on Medium this year. I’m not surprised — it earned me $23K this year. Just one story. (That’s an outlier! I’m normally pleased if I make $1K and usually I don’t make that!)
