Excellent work from @SpencerSny and @MorePerfectUS! If you're wondering what can be done about the ever rising cost of groceries, here's an answer.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: Zohran's plan for city-run grocery stores has drawn intense pushback from critics.

But government-run stores already exist in the US. One chain with 250 locations charges at least 25% less than other brands.

It's run by the U.S. military.

The military literally runs hundreds of grocery stores that patrons love. There shouldn’t be any question as to the viability of government-run grocery stores. My new piece with More Perfect Union details how these stores operate.

The Rockefeller Christmas tree was originally a gift from workers to themselves — a slice of holiday cheer for immigrant laborers who spent Christmas Eve of 1931 on the job.

Their bosses turned it into a grotesque symbol of luxury consumerism: https://t.co/X164xKfVv0

Angry about flight delays? Blame it on the trains.

@SpencerSny explains why the U.S. is so far behind on high-speed rail — and how the airline lobby helped keep it that way.

[Long-Haul @longhaul_mag]

In 2023 workers at Barboncino, a popular Neapolitan pizzeria in Brooklyn, won union recognition – the first in NYC – and became the new symbol for growing restiveness amongst restaurant staff post-pandemic. Two years later, the pizza shop closed. What happened?

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Did Zohran Mamdani win only because he was good on camera?

Jacobin analyzed his and Andrew Cuomo’s campaign videos for keywords.

The results are in. Rent: 18 to 0. Buses: 15 to 0. Childcare: 4 to 0. Groceries: 4 to 0. Cost of living: 4 to 0.

New from me and @SpencerSny. TLDR; Policy > Slick Social Media

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Critics allege that Zohran Mamdani only won New York City’s mayoral election because of slick social media content and easily wooed voters. On the contrary, an analysis finds that his messaging contained vastly more policy detail than Andrew Cuomo’s. https://t.co/57TvqCUklz

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of community members are freezing sales at @HomeDepot in Monrovia, CA, buying and returning ice scrapers in protest. The message is clear: Scrape ICE off your properties!

We demand dignity, safety, and accountability. They must act now. #ICEOutOfHomeDepot

“Construction workers pooled their wages to erect the first Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in 1931, bringing holiday cheer to themselves on the job site. Their billionaire bosses co-opted the gesture, transforming it into today’s consumer spectacle.”
