1. Hello twitter. I've written a new book. The subject is populism. And: the people who hate populism. The recurring conflict between these two poles of our political life.

As per @thomasfrank_ in @guardian: "If it does indeed turn out that the lab-leak hypothesis is the right explanation for how it began—that the common people of the world have been forced into a real-life lab experiment, at tremendous cost—there is a moral earthquake on the way".

Pity the Billionaire by @thomasfrank_. Good quick read. PLEASE GOD get the audiobook read by the author because it might be one of the most entertaining 5 hours you'll have this year. Also he basically lines up the coming Trump era like some kind of Cassandra.

De livre en livre depuis plus de 15 ans, @thomasfrank_ fait le portrait, en positif et en négatif, du glorieux héritage populiste des classes laborieuses et des classes moyennes diplômées qui leur ont succédé dans le cœur triste des partis « de gauche » => agone.org/auteurs/thomas…

"Aujourd'hui, il n'y a pas de honte à écrire des éditoriaux conservateurs le jour et des odes à l'authenticité pseudo-prolétarienne la nuit, parce que, de nos jours les incarnations prolétariennes de l'authenticité sont de fait les alliées du bulldozer conservateur" Thomas Frank

@ukarlewitz @Tepper_Jonathan Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class and become party of the elite coastal clerisy. As @thomasfrank_ asks in the subtitle of Listen Liberal, “What Ever Happened to the Party of the People?” The VA election should be a wake-up call.

#MeltdownPodcast launches today on @audible_com! Host @davidsirota explores how, after the 2008 financial crisis, the gov botched a multibillion-dollar bailout, covered up Wall Street’s crimes, and ultimately paved the way for Trump. And that was only PART of the fallout 🧵
