“People want it, they don’t want to change it, they don’t want to cut it, they want to know that it’s there for them.” – @kedseconomist.com To keep Social Security benefits intact, we must make the wealthy pay more and improve, not cut the program. Read: rooseveltinstitute.org/press-releas...

At @aflcio.org’s 30th Constitutional Convention with the great Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice of the great City of New York, @juliesulabor.bsky.social #Classic

@ncstateaflcio.bsky.social President Braxton Winston said it best: union workers earn better wages, they have retirement security, stronger benefits and so much more. Good union jobs change lives!

“The economic policies we need for an economy centered on people’s needs, capabilities and dignity are pretty obvious, the question is power.” It’s unreal that it took until today for me to meet the one and only @darrickhamilton.bsky.social!

What a great convening. Thank you to @levyecon.bsky.social and their outstanding director @ptcherneva.bsky.social advancing the best in economic discourse and policy. #Salute

"This is the week of hope." A sentence we all felt in our Hannah Arendt discussion group after listening to two of the greatest talks I've heard: @berondam.bsky.social & @darrickhamilton.bsky.social, two fellow fellows @rad-institute.bsky.social I am deeply thankful for having met and learned from.

BOSTON, come to the 21ST ANNUAL Black Policy Conference on Saturday, which features Black leaders in policy, business, and academia. This year's lineup includes Josh Doss, @atimaomara.bsky.social, @andreperryedu.bsky.social, @darrickhamilton.bsky.social, and more! www.blackpolicyconference.com

3/3 With contributions from @darrickhamilton.bsky.social , @hshierholz.bsky.social , @jaredb-econ.bsky.social , @joshbivens-econ.bsky.social, Candace Archer, Mary Beech, Rebecca Reindel, Ambassador Katherine Tai and Erica Owen. @aflcio.org @epi.org @centeronbudget.bsky.social

2/2 Discussions ranged from risks in economic distribution and growth to deregulation, AI and OSH – and what a worker-centred trade agenda should look like, including how unions can build a progressive narrative against a sweeping deregulation agenda.

1/3 Day 1 of the TUAC Working Group on Economic Policy in Washington DC. One thread ran through it all: unions and collective bargaining remain indispensable for tackling rising inequality and redressing the shift of gains from labour to profits.

The Harvard Trade Union Program selects a group of union members with the ability for leadership, teaching essential skills for management surrounded by dynamic classmates. Recruiting for 2027 begins this summer; check the website for more updates and more information: htup.law.harvard.edu

Congratulations to the Harvard Trade Union Program class of 2026, who graduated last month with an address from @aflcio.org Chief Economist @darrickhamilton.bsky.social, classmates, and CLJE leadership. You are a testament to the strength of the labor movement. We can't wait to see what you do!

The sycophancy. The nonsense.

CFPB Union members pack the room as @darrickhamilton.bsky.social testifies before the HSFC hearing on affordable housing. Working families can't afford housing if they are left without protection from cheats and fraudsters. Trump and Vought have shut that protection down by sidelining the CFPB.

NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani named reparations advocate @darrickhamilton.bsky.social to his economic transition team. This reflects a growing recognition that racial wealth gaps are policy-made — and that repair belongs in economic planning.

Welcome to #ASSA2026 in my home town! Please say hi if you see me in the corridors 😊! I look forward to seeing some of you tonight at the LERA research panel & reception w. Jared Bernstein @ericagroshen.bsky.social @darrickhamilton.bsky.social #EconSky
