This EO also targets the Minority Business Development Agency. As @mehrsab.bsky.social shows, the agency was started by Nixon as a way to undermine calls for Black Power and had a small budget and little overall economic impact. The neosegregationists are removing integration's fig leaves.
Professor @mehrsab.bsky.social’s paper “Jim Crow Credit” is cited in @newrepublic.com, highlighting how historical racial discrimination in credit practices has perpetuated financial exclusion for Black communities. newrepublic.com/article/1920...

thank you
Useful perspective from my @ucirvinelaw.bsky.social colleague
A thought, provoking and important message of hope. If you need a little jolt of inspiration, watch this video by @mehrsab.bsky.social
One of the most infuriating things I learned from @mehrsab.bsky.social's The Quiet Coup is that California's power company used CBA to determine their most profitable course of action re: worn out/dangerous power lines was to impose occasional deadly blackouts instead of fixing the fire hazard.

Today, @henrymjtonks.bsky.social reviews @mehrsab.bsky.social's *The Quiet Coup,* an account of the neoliberal era that touches on everything from empire to civil rights to campaign finance and antitrust.
As 2024 draws to a close, the need for an economy that truly works for American families couldn’t be clearer. Here are twelve smart, solutions-focused, myth-busting books from the last twelve months that might help us all move closer to a just economy:

I taught a large 1L contracts course at Harvard this year that had 5 or fewer Black and Latino students. It was jarring and uncomfortable and totally unnecessary. The UC's have been dealing with an AA ban for years and still create diverse classes. HLS can do better.

I want to note that my second daughter is currently doing an AP English assignment where she has to sound like you and we tried chatGPT with many prompts and none of it even came close to sounding like you. lol. But also, Ahmari--🙄
We don't need more remakes of old movies. We need more MUPPETS remakes of old movies.

Why hasn't there been a massive blockbuster about Harriet Tubman yet? I mean, I know the answer, but Jesus, she's the only certifiable American hero!
