From our Blue Amp Media live stream interview with Tony Michaels:
Tony's one of those rare Dems who can talk about working-class America not like an anthropologist, but with true understanding --because he is working class. He gave a masterclass on how we lost our way with the working class--and not just white ones the NY Times obsesses over—and how we can get it back .
Tony started with something that's simple but cuts deep: stop calling food assistance SNAP . Call it what it is—the food bill. When we sterilize language, we sterilize empathy. We turn hungry families into “data points.” Parents are worried about feeding their kids—some trick-or-treated for dinner because Trump’s cruelty machine decided to cut food aid. That’s not abstract; it's evil that must be called out in
