One of the items in the Ruth Asawa show at MoMA was Buckminster Fuller's patronizing, Orientalist reference for Asawa's Guggenheim application

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

What a racist sexist doofus

"This latest attempt to eliminate essential staff at the CFPB would reduce the bureau to an empty shell, unable to fulfill the functions the CFPB is statutorily required to engage in." @chichiwu.bsky.social via @law360.bsky.social #ProtectConsumers www.law360.com/articles/246...

Will they still not care when they can't afford all their bills? That just might be the question that will determine whether the American experiment survives or not

Looking forward to ICE ending these long lines at TSA checkpoints the only way they know how -- dispersing tear gas and savagely assaulting anyone who's left

Trump mortgage credit order draws praise from lenders Trump’s order seeks to expand mortgage credit via rule changes for smaller banks, but many provisions need Congress and years of rulemaking.

“The market the President’s order would return us to is one of rampant discrimination, high and anti-competitive rates, and frequent calamitous market failures,” said Diane Thompson @nclc4consumers.bsky.social. “We must reject this dangerous rollback.” www.housingwire.com/articles/tru...

Oh great, Trump wants to roll back the safeguards instituted to prevent another mortgage meltdown. Yup, that’ll help affordability 🙄

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

New York Young Republican... • @NYYRC Follow ... The United States of America was created by the Founding Fathers, who were Christian, "for ourselves and our posterity." Where do Muslims fit into America? We'll save you the search - they don't. Rep. Andy Ogles E @RepOgles • Mar 9 Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie. 4:52 PM • Mar 9, 2026 • Twitter for iPhone

When Republicans say the US is a “Christian country” and specifically call out Muslims as not belonging, they’re also silently saying that Jews, Buddhists, and every other faith are not welcome in their world (nor are atheists)

They just think they can get away with saying the Muslim part out loud

Credit Bureaus Are Leaving More Mistakes on Frustrated Consumers’ Reports Under Trump’s CFPB The credit bureaus have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help since the Trump administration began dismantling the CFPB.

TransUnion and Experian, have sharply reduced the share of consumer complaints they resolved in customers’ favor, according to a @propublica.org analysis.

The credit bureaus “want to do as little as possible,” said @chichiwu.bsky.social. #ProtectConsumers www.propublica.org/article/cred...

Ever had an error on your credit report? Frustrated by problems with Equifax, Experian or TransUnion? Welp, unfortunately the federal agency helps consumers with these problems was gutted by the Trump Administration. ProPublica has the receipts showing how that's harmed ordinary Americans. #CFPB

Disgusting. Both the overt anti-Muslim racism and the acceptance of this hatred by Republicans generally

Well given the cost of an ER visit, maybe it’s just trying to prevent folks from getting into medical debt? 🤷‍♀️

Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone

Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out.

It's arriving in a country once again waging war—a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness.

Let's take stock of where we are.

Ok let’s not get ourselves excited over eczema

I mean, kinda self-evident. But good to have the polling to back it

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
