In 2022, here are some of the things I wrote for the

**Prospect**:

"The Memo Writer
<[link removed]>"
Let's begin with labor. Early in the year, I profiled the NLRB's new
general counsel, Jennifer Abruzzo, who was (and still is) coming up with
ingenious ways to restore workers' rights.

"Labor's John L. Lewis Moment
<[link removed]>"
Later in the year, I co-authored a piece with former

**New York Times** labor reporter Steven Greenhouse, noting that despite
the pro-union ferment of the young, major unions were still refusing to
embark on major organizing drives.

"Why Trucking Can't Deliver the Goods
<[link removed]>"
In our print issue on the dysfunctions of the nation's supply chain, I
wrote what was really another labor piece, this one about how the
deregulation of trucking and de-unionization of truckers had transformed
the industry into one that could no longer deliver the goods.

"The Real Republican Dilemma
<[link removed]>"
Moving into the realm of electoral politics, I plunged into the 2022
exit polls to demonstrate why Republicans had become a post-policy
party.

"Why Joe Biden Shouldn't Run for Re-Election
<[link removed]>"
And recently, after consulting some actuarial tables, I make a case
against Joe Biden-who I think has been a pretty good
president-seeking re-election.

"Samuel Alito: The 21st-Century Roger Taney
<[link removed]>"
On the day the Supreme Court struck down

**Roe v. Wade**, I found some appalling similarities between Sam Alito
and Roger Taney (who authored the

**Dred Scott** decision).

"Kansans to Alito: F*ck You.
<[link removed]>"
And on the day that Kansans voted to keep reproductive rights in their
constitution, I noted that Americans don't like having their
long-established rights taken away.

"1-2-3-4; We Don't Want Your F---ing War!
<[link removed]>"
When Vladimir Putin abruptly began drafting Russian men for his war on
Ukraine, I was transported back to Vietnam War days, and wrote about the
historic necessity of draft evasion.

"Vinnie, L.A., and Me
<[link removed]>"
And as a point of personal privilege, when the great Vin Scully died, I
wrote about the novelistic and cinematic ways in which Scully narrated
baseball games, about the ways in which he helped Los Angeles cohere as
a modern metropolis, and about the role he completely unintentionally
played in turning me into a writer.
