My new video essay is live on YouTube! This is an important one to me; in many ways, it’s the culmination of my thoughts over the last year about unionism and what it can accomplish, informed by my participation in the unbelievably successful WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Hope you enjoy it!
I’m stunned and grateful to have been selected for Time Magazine’s 100 NEXT list for 2023 alongside so many incredible leaders and artists (including Ice Spice!! Ice Spice!!) Thank you to whoever the hell made this happen, and to Mike Schur for writing such kind words.
I’m flattered by this wonderful profile by Alex Press in Jacobin of our work during the writers’ strike.
I was also quoted extensively in this terrific piece by Brian Merchant in the LA Times, one of my favorite breakdowns of the causes of the strike.
The public support for the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes has been overwhelming, and we’re so grateful for it. As always, if you want to show your support, consider donating to the Entertainment Community Fund.

My new YouTube video essay, Why Mergers Are Destroying America, is live now! And in case you missed it, here’s my last video, Elon Musk Is An Idiot (And So Are Zuck and SBF):
I’m overwhelmed by the positive response to these videos: The first two videos I posted racked up millions of views in just a few days, and we added half a million subscribers to my YouTube channel. Expect more in the coming year!
I just released a new video on YouTube, in which I explain how the Patagonia dude avoided paying billions in taxes, why allowing billionaires to hoard power is terrible for the planet, and how the wealthy use their money to buy the public’s love. Take a watch!
Thanks to everyone who’s come out to the tour so far; it’s been amazing meeting you. We just added dates in San Diego and Portland – come out!
