Whenever we're out of this shit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should be built into an absolutely nightmare bureaucratic goliath. Increase the original funding by a million times and hire thousands of staffers trying to fuck shit up for business.

The exit economy is here and Black Women are paying the highest price! Since February, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025 Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip: It’s a structural crisis!

I saw someone wondering why the elites and the MSM don't keep banging the drums about the fascist in chief calling people "radical left scum" like they have and continue to do about "deplorables." It's because they agree with the fascist that leftists are scum and also do not fear the left(s), lol.

It's actually very funny that the 2nd Amendment specifically lays out that the militia that is supposed to have the guns must be well-regulated. Unfortunately what modern interpretations of the amendment have given us is a nationwide disorganized militia of bloodthirsty braying fascists

Not a miracle. Partly the playout of the DOJ consent decree that reformed the police force. Also treating illicit drug use as a medical rather than an LE issue. Hard work went into that turnaround.
Still a few days to go, but as of right now the Baltimore homicide page shows 133 homicides for the year.

It was consistently around 330/year until four years ago, when it started its steep decline. It is now well under HALF of what it was.

This is a miracle.

This is super crazy! There are so many reasons you might want to stay in a hotel in your hometown including renovations, medical procedures, and even staycations.
A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.

When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.

This is outrageous.
