Last Night in Brooklyn is almost here! So much love to all the people - photographed and otherwise - whose memories fueled these pages! This one's for my friends... past and present. Oh, the times we had….

Lately, when I come on here I have mainly felt uplifted by how much we are all realizing that WE are the heroes we need and power is gonna come from the people. But this #Kanye show has me a little down…the average person doesn’t get a lot of chances to flex power. At the voting booth if we are lucky, in the streets, AND at the cash register. We downplay the value of our dollars as a means of expression of values in a capitalist society… money can normalize almost anything. Ye is just a low hanging example of how much we need to better realize our spending power is a cultural force… #class #kids #money #power

NOUGH SAID😤😍😍🧿💖 Thank you Book of the Month for choosing LNIB as an April add-on! Hope to see all the conversations Alicia and Garza and their Brooklyn Crew will spark and the ways they’re embraced by this community of new readers. #lastnightinbrooklyn #bookofthemonth

March: surreal mix of work, worry for the world and really beautiful humans making art. There is just an infinite amount of cruelty around us right now, but I never stop being affirmed by the power of time around people. ❤️

Spittin mad these days because What really IS Middle Class??? We are at a point where everyday plasma donors and everyday millionaires are BOTH calling themselves middle class, and if that doesn’t spell an utter Class Dysmorphia problem in the country, idk what does!!!! #class #middleclass #plasma #millionaires #money

Thank you Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas and Dolores Huerta for coming forward. For your bravery. Thank you Esmeralda Lopez and Cynthia Bell for sharing your truth. So many of us are heartbroken today for the years all of these women - and who knows who else - suffered in silence. I can’t believe how many people knew. I’ll never get over how many people knew… via @nytimes

Hmmm. Who knows if this AI white collar job destruction bubble is real or hype for the markets🤔 BUT, I think there’s a healthy lesson from working class culture that this moment might offer the culture at large when it comes to WHO YOU ARE being separated from WHAT YOU DO… Drop your thoughts?? LOVED this @robbyhoffman appearance and thanks to everybody that sent it to me! #class #jobs #hacks #selfworth
