About this site

The Bureau of Ideas is the site for all my writing everywhere, including my posts from the Octopus & the Ant Substack; Champions of Conflict, my newsletter about labor arbitration; and Pushback Rebuild, an independent publication launched in January 2025 to share news about people and organizations that fight back against Trump. If you subscribe today, you'll get full access to the website as well as email newsletters about new content when it's available. Your subscription makes this site possible and allows The Bureau of Ideas to continue to exist. Thank you!
