A Strategy to Stop the Flow of Our Money to Billionaires
The trillions of dollars in our retirement savings are enriching the ultra wealthy while they ravage our communities. A mass movement led by workers and pensioners can turn off the tap.

This year, Labor Day is more than a barbecue.

"When we were making the case for Lisa Cook’s nomination, we found that only two of 417 Federal Reserve staff positions at the time were Black; 318 of them were White. That’s a really big problem."

ACRE ED @saqibbhatti.bsky.social shares his thoughts on the Fed after the firing of Lisa Cook.
Diversity at the Fed took one step forward. Now Trump is taking it two steps back | CNN Business
Throughout the Federal Reserve’s 111-year history, its top policymakers have mostly been white men. Now some recent progress diversifying the ranks of the world’s most powerful bank is being undone.

Shame on Trump for trying to illegally fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook! It’s the latest blitz on the integrity of the Federal Reserve system—of which CFPB is the newest member.

We stand in solidarity w/ Fed Gov Cook & all public servants working to keep our financial system safe for everyday people. ❤️

The same party that spent all last year making protecting democracy their main message is very quick to throw democracy out the window when voters choose Muslims, anti-Zionists, democratic socialists, or all of the above.

You can draw direct lines from one to the next:

- America’s war on Iraq
- Israel’s genocide in #Gaza
- India’s attacks on #Pakistan

All are cases of imperialist powers taking advantage of Islamophobia to launch offensive attacks using the fig leaf of self-defense as pretext.

As Trump escalates his attacks on workers, the labor movement "must move aggressively to meet the present challenge."
