An auto-dependent society puts tremendous pressure on low-income people to own cars. A car can eat up someone’s budget, expose them to predatory lenders who hurt their credit, or worse. And they're getting more expensive. My latest for @voxdotcom vox.com/23753949/cars-…

"By the end of last year, underemployment of recent college grads reached almost 43%, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; this is an increase of nearly 4% from the end of 2024." The economy is rigged against students.

PS: I’m available to write for you, hit me up at the email in bio if you wanna talk!

This year's college grads are entering the worst job market in years -- against the backdrop of a shrinking base of entry-level work. I wrote about difficulty of launching a professional career right now, for @BW bloomberg.com/features/2026-…

I am receiving so many intern applications from Ivy League MBA graduates, desperate to do PR internships for $20 an hour. It is frightening out there for entry level workers!

feels like a BW cover from the good old days. love to see it

A perfect image of the Trump era: A grandmother has to work at DoorDash in order to get by, while the president decorates his office in gold accent pieces.

If you can't see we're in a five alarm fire, then I don't know what planet you are on.

This would be absurd if it weren’t so tragic because Israel’s reasoning is laughable at this stage. Netanyahu is just carpet bombing a sovereign nation. Nobody but an ideologue would call this a counterterrorism campaign.

“I am sick of this sh*t. Can’t he just behave like a normal human?” Megyn Kelly completely unleashes on Trump, and it’s brutal.

I have developed a level of sangfroid about the insanity of the era, but this "whole civilization will die tonight" comment is utter madness on a level that's still shocking.

A large number of NASA employees work there because they were inspired watching the Apollo program as kids. I wrote about what it means for them that Artemis is finally returning to the moon for @NatGeo nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

@qabdulzahra Shelly Kittleson often worked without formal assignments from editors and on a shoestring budget, taking shared taxis to lawless corners of Iraq where militia rule outweighs government control: @samya_kullab profiles the journalist kidnapped in Iraq apnews.com/article/iraq-k…

Asked @marincogan to find out what Artemis II means to the @NASA staffers who grew up watching Apollo. Love this piece. We're on this heartfelt intergenerational journey. There's no end to where it may lead nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

the thing is when you're a writer you're not allowed to be mad when people rip you off because that's rude in public. you have basically no recourse against staff writers who steal your pitches or when publications blatantly plagiarize your work. it is genuinely humiliating

A generation of people in their 20s and 30s was told that if they do all this homework and take these AP classes and run up this debt and get their degree, their place in the upper-middle class would be secure. And suffice it to say it hasn’t worked out that way for a lot of them

From Foreign Correspondent to Uber Driver @thenation published my essay with a few additions in its latest issue with the valued support of the @econhardship. Thanks to both. thenation.com/article/societ…

Take a breath. Your decision to attack Iran wasn't warmongering—it was bold and decisive. And you're right, after a weekend of bombing and assassinations, Iranian people will overthrow the government and you'll be vindicated. Need help crafting a victory speech? Just say the word

Husband. follower of Christ. tweeting some of the most offensive things you’ve ever seen, just absolutely horrific stuff. girl dad.

Holy effing hell. On a Thursday night in the middle of a war.
