MLK won by disciplined nonviolence + pressure: organizing, documentation, legal strategy, boycotts, elections, coalition-building. Same now...build local power, protect people, force oversight, sue, defund abuses.
We all want an instant positive result: There isn't one.

We are incredibly proud of the resistance for preserving and releasing this footage so the truth cannot be buried. Alex Pretti. A 37-year-old ICU nurse at the VA. Murdered by Trump’s regime. This is not okay. He spent his life helping people. He was an American hero.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

For people who were already traumatized enough by gun violence, just the unceremonious lack of care taken here is deeply, deeply troubling.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

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.

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.
