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
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
Guess I’m not going to any Thomas Keller restaurants any time soon
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
Voters like fighters and people who stand for their values. Doh!

Two if my favorite policy folks have intersected on Bluesky, and I am here for it
Also, please read this book. It’s devastating. Well researched, well written and a devastating indictment on our society

TFW you don't want to sign up for a streaming services but then a hot show has an episode on a wonky issue you work on ... 😭
I guess it's for the better cuz I just be screaming at the TV "you need to screen him for financial assistance goddamit!"

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.
Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
No, let her wear white. May she knows something we don't.
In its latest attack on the CFPB, the White House is claiming that consumer protections cost people too much money. “In the midst of an affordability crisis...it’s baffling that the administration is working against working families," said Diane Thompson

I remember @sarahkendzior.bsky.social saying, and i very much poorly paraphrase from memory, that covid and then genocide were about getting people used to death at scale so people just shrug when it comes to American streets.
This bringing foreign wars home, fits

In the richest country in the world, we spend billions on detention camps while people freeze to death on our streets
I hope every woman in this misogynist's life rips him a new one (verbally of course)
This afternoon, a coalition of 52 economic justice, civil rights, labor, faith and other groups sent a letter urging creditors and credit bureaus to provide relief to Minnesotans who have been financially devastated by the ICE surge. Proud to have spearheaded this effort
Yeah thus does not surprise me about the whole Abundance narrative
More neoliberal con shizz
Israeli writer Amos Oz in his novel FIMA, talking about Arab children: "Can a worthless man like me have sunk so low as to make a distinction between the intolerable killing of children and the not-so-intolerable killing of children?"
Great thread Brad! Not only do I agree 💯 re financial education and have ranted about that so many times, but the connection with the Epstein files is a new twist
“Last year, consumers filed nearly five million complaints with the CFPB regarding credit reporting, mostly against the Big Three credit bureaus, one of the worst oligopolies in this country,” wrote @chichiwu.bsky.social. 1/2 www.levernews.com/the-companie...
“The #CFPB has been able to get relief for consumers, and under previous administrations, has really leaned hard on the credit bureaus to provide relief. Now we are looking potentially at all that being gone,” @chichiwu.bsky.social said. #ProtectConsumers www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...
The evil twin CFPB under Russell Vought is at it again, starting the ball rolling in potentially rolling over to the credit bureaus and making it harder to complain to the CFPB
From your lips to God's ears! 😆
Seriously though, for any litigators out there who are tempted - please be careful about bringing an FCRA claim, these "is it a CRA" cases are NOT easy
