Perspective: 10 years ago eggs cost about 16 cents apiece. Now they cost about 41 cents apiece. That’s two bits more per egg, or 50 cents more for a two-egg omelette. In 10 years. Why is this somehow what makes Americans want to storm the barricades?🧐🥚

I’m getting tired of all the exhorting of Democrats to “reconnect with the working people” or the “everyday people” or the “average voter.” Could we maybe name social class in here somewhere?

The only heartening part of this is that they know they’re not supposed to say it. But the fog of coded language is getting pretty thick.

Solidarity, baby. Love that the first big union win under the Trump regime was at Whole Foods. Let’s keep it going.

Smart piece by @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social. The ultra-wealthy people currently gutting food assistance at all levels know perfectly well there’s no lack of food. This is about hunger as a weapon to hold against the poor.

Labor struggles are where you get a clear view of the stresses in both higher ed (my day job @seiu509.bsky.social) and the supermarket-centered food regime (my avocational obsession). Good inside view of the #WholeFoods organizing campaign in Philly from @grocerynerd.bsky.social today.

Important piece by my former student @telliotter.bsky.social on the unvetted tech bros now running amok in federal financial systems.

Is Team Canada strong enough to withstand the loss of Florida orange juice (and snow-birding)? It’s certainly going to be interesting! 🤨 🍊 ❄️

When you discover that the reason your @seiu509.bsky.social organizer @annameier.bsky.social is so brilliant is that she’s a recovering academic who deeply gets that this work is fundamentally about learning but it is increasingly about raw competition. annameier.substack.com/p/im-leaving...

It was strangely calming to walk a picket line with colleagues and students today. Also thank you to my university for building such a spiffy new building with a bird’s-eye view of same. I would feel even more grateful for a contract sometime soon!

Hello Bluesky, taking the advice of @aoc.bsky.social to cultivate alternatives to mainstream social media and curious about what’s been going on over here while the old invisible hand has been royally mucking things up elsewhere. 👋🏻
