I have a lot to say about this, especially the past decade of economic development practice dedicated to chasing these jobs 🤪

RIP Edmund White, one of my favorite novelists and one of the titans of gay literature ❤️

I have a new piece out about how the House reconciliation bill will harm rural households. Not only will it rural folks lose health coverage & food access, hospitals are more likely to close and businesses will struggle. All for a regressive tax cut. (link in next tweet)

This is just not true - ask a fucking sociologist.
