About this episode
Friends,
Welcome back to my Saturday coffee klatch with Heather Lofthouse (executive director of Inequality Media Civic Action, and my former student), where we examine the lows and even lowers of the preceding week. Today we talk about:
— Trump’s indictment, and what it really means.
— Starbucks’ anti-labor strategy, and what we should do about it.
— The Gwyneth Paltrow case, and why it’s gotten so much attention.
— My course, starting next Friday right here on this Substack.
So grab a cup, pull up a chair, and join us. Also take our poll:
