Mississippi's atrocious modern-day debtor prisons, and the go-betweens exploiting people in you-can't-refuse-these jobs.https://t.co/Q8rPSQ4q0v @mississippi_today @MarshallProj @ayewolfe @mstodaynews @report4america

Him and every other Wall Street asshole. They blamed everyone but themselves:

WASHINGTON (AP) — At the height of the 2008 economic collapse, then-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the elimination of a discriminatory housing practice known as “redlining” was responsible for instigating the meltdown. https://t.co/pRhH1pOdca

Man, this is infuriating.

A small team of FBI agents spent years trying to solve a stubborn mystery — whether officials from Saudi Arabia, one of Washington’s closest allies, were involved in the worst terror attack in U.S. history.

It’s the quiet ones that you have to watch. While the nation has its attention on impeachment, @SecretaryCarson is busy trying to render the Fair Housing Act null and void. It’s @HUDgov’s view that we’ve made enough racial progress and don’t need it. Okay. https://t.co/2K7cjFcdoa

I do believe climate change will kick off a major depression, and it will start with the insurance companies going under. This is yet another sign that things don’t look good:

I can’t wait until we have one candidate and can kick into high gear against this creep:

Big opening for Democrats here:

"Savings for the top six US banks from Trump’s signature tax overhaul accelerated last year, now topping $32 billion as the lenders curbed new borrowing, PARED JOBS AND RAMPED UP PAYMENTS TO SHAREHOLDERS."https://t.co/gE0kObMZnT
