Disabled people take a huge risk every time we organise against disability cuts. There have been cases of presence at an action being used to cut off eligibility, because the DWP wilfully misrepresents disability. This is why we need the rest of you.

The CFPB has:

-Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud
-Cracked down on junk fees
-Fought against politically-motivated debanking
-Protected veterans from predatory lenders
-Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse

Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.
Laws Are Not Suggestions: How the CFPB Is Delivering for the American People - American Economic Liberties Project
Under Director Rohit Chopra, the CFPB has held scammers like Wells Fargo accountable, returning billions of dollars of Americans’ hard-earned money to their bank accounts; fought back against Wall Street and Big Tech’s discriminatory and anti-competitive behavior; ensured violating the law can no longer be written off as just a “cost of doing business;” and restored financial freedom to millions of Americans held hostage by the credit reporting cartel.

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research?

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who's noticed that ever since trump took over, planes are falling out of the sky, measles and tuberculosis on the rise, billionaires are getting richer, but egg prices are higher than ever.

This administration is DEI as fuck.

JD Vance said the quiet part out loud: He thinks courts can’t check presidential power.

But Austin Sarat makes it clear that even the conservative SCOTUS has drawn a line—making it clear that the courts get the last word.
JD Vance's impatience with constitutional niceties won't buy him friends on the court
The idea that the president alone gets to determine what his “legitimate” powers are would make Nixon smile.

In 1955, Rosa Parks' arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a 381-day movement that ended bus segregation & reshaped history.

Black churches, carpools & activists kept it going—proving the power of collective action. This is how change happens. #BlackHistoryMonth
