CFPB Union members pack the room as @darrickhamilton.bsky.social testifies before the HSFC hearing on affordable housing. Working families can't afford housing if they are left without protection from cheats and fraudsters. Trump and Vought have shut that protection down by sidelining the CFPB.

NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani named reparations advocate @darrickhamilton.bsky.social to his economic transition team. This reflects a growing recognition that racial wealth gaps are policy-made — and that repair belongs in economic planning.

As always I remain grateful for the brilliance, grace and commitment to humanity of the great congresswoman @repilhan.bsky.social representing the great state of Minnesota. I am disgusted by the racist, harmful and inhumane actions and words by the president #Simple&Plain

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

@darrickhamilton.bsky.social said it best: Wealth is economic power. Wealth provides economic agency.

Through his work as an economist and founding director of @racepowerpolicy.org, Darrick is guided by the truth that all human beings are entitled to basic economic rights.

9 months into this administration & we are accelerating towards the negative trifecta of stagflation —simultaneous sluggish growth, high unemployment & rising inflation. Accompanied with trending authoritarianism & pubic assaults on personhoods grounded racisms, sexism and nativism. #ReverseCourse

I can’t wait to get up Saturday morning to vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for the next NYC mayor.
