We must surround ourselves with like-minded community, and hold each other up.

An important reminder:
Women could not have loans in their own name until 1974 after the passage of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA).. no credit card, no car loan, no mortgage without a male cosigning the loan.

"As a country, we have almost entirely failed to regulate the tech industry. There are almost no meaningful checks on its size or influence, or even requirements to be responsible with its power, even though American consumers express their clear preferences to rein in tech companies all the time. There is simply no other way to look at millions of Instagram users — including the company’s own celebrity influencers — enthusiastically posting legalistic incantations for over a decade commanding Meta to stop doing things with their content. Fundamentally, they are all trying to renegotiate the Instagram terms of service, which everyone signed without reading. But as individuals, they have no real leverage with which to drag Mark Zuckerberg to the bargaining table."
"This is a pure market failure. Despite this sustained, dramatic expression of consumer demand, there have been no policy changes, and there are no meaningful competitors differentiated by privacy. The industry has learned from this and imposed an ever more extractive set of platform policies with little meaningful consequence. Resetting all this is what the government is for — a functional federal privacy law would effectively provide a baseline terms of service agreement with every platform that would protect us all, and then we could see how well it’s working and adjust."

"In 2019, Trump found his lever. Amazon was due to receive a $10 billion cloud-computing contract from the Pentagon. The Pentagon suddenly shifted course and denied Amazon the contract. A former speechwriter for Defense Secretary James Mattis reported that Trump had directed Mattis to “screw Amazon.”
This is the context in which the Post’s decision to spike its planned endorsement of Kamala Harris should be considered."

"...and then there’s things which might be illegal....what I’m going to describe next which comes from another Musk-funded dark money operation. They have set up fake sites impersonating the Harris campaign using fake policy positions and then sending out text messages also impersonating the campaign which aim to drive voters to the fake site."

#Trump goes to war against real-time #FactChecks
The moves are the latest example of Trump’s long-held resistance to being called to account for his #lies.
Trump & his campaign have waged an aggressive campaign against #FactChecking in recent months, pushing TV networks, #journalism orgs & others to abandon the practice if they hope to interact w/Trump.

Make a plan to stay engaged in the political process for Election Night and beyond! #WeAreNotGoingBack We’ve invested too much of ourselves to give up momentum in the fight to expand the franchise.
What horseshit apologist uses the word "nativist" to hide the reality of fascism?
Do not fucking sanewash nazi rhetoric:
"Trump intensifies nativist message with sweeping proposal to deport migrants"
" Donald Trump intensified his politics of nativism and xenophobia on Friday by announcing a sweeping plan to deport Venezuelans he claimed have “infected” a once peaceful city in Colorado."

#Obama suggests some in the #Black community are uncomfortable voting for a #woman & are coming up w/excuses. Fmr president Barack Obama on Thurs made a direct, impassioned plea to Black #men to support VP #KamalaHarris — a key demographic she is struggling to mobilize — admonishing them for thinking about sitting out the presidential contest as well as suggesting #sexism might be at play.

“Neither of the labor movement’s choices this election are inspiring ones. ... Yet under a Harris administration, unions are at least likely to have continued breathing room; if Harris wins and Democrats also manage to gain control of Congress, they will even have a chance to pass labor law reform.”

“Biden listed these comparisons to make the point that, as he said, ‘[f]or the past 40 years, too many leaders have sworn by an economic theory that has not worked very well at all: trickle-down economics. Cut taxes for the very wealthy…and hope the benefits trickle down. Well, guess what? ... It’s clear, especially under my predecessor, that trickle-down economics failed.’”

#Trump’s New #EJeanCarroll Defense Is That He #Assaulted Other #Women
Donald Trump brought up 2 other women who have accused him of #SexualAssault.
Trump on Friday inexplicably started detailing 2 horrific sexual assault allegations made against him, as part of a hapless attempt to discredit a completely different sexual assault allegation.
