Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors.

They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.

“Alas, one glance at today’s headlines and no one should wonder why Americans might want to escape back to their “90s summers”. The past is, after all, another country. They do things differently there.”

It’s easy to see why some on TikTok are yearning for this kind of nostalgia. But as someone who lived through it, here’s why that’s a bad idea

“Voice of America (VOA) may have been used to broadcast Donald Trump’s message to Iranians in Farsi during weekend military strikes…revealing how the crumbling, traditionally independent news service is possibly functioning as a conduit for presidential messaging.”

Feeling drained every Monday? The issue might not be time off—but how you use it.

Enter “leisure crafting”: setting intentional, energizing goals for your free time. Not to hustle harder, but to restore smarter.

"On Juneteenth...it is well to ponder that there is no longer any branch of government dedicated to protecting the life chances of those with less political power due to their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, or sexual orientation.

This is deeply unfortunate."

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · Jun 19

The Supreme Court I got to know when I worked in the Solicitor General’s office understood its responsibility to balance the scales of justice in favor of the powerless. Today’s SCOTUS majority doesn’t seem to have a clue. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/does-the-supreme-court-exist-to-protect

Jack and Fiona watched as Trump and Musk turned the US into what they call “a fascist hellscape.” So they turned to tech to organize, creating @stickittofascists.com.

They're one of many mobilizing online. And as millions joined the "No Kings” protests, these tools were powering the movement.

The Online Tools That Fueled ‘No Kings’ and the Trump Resistance

Social media platforms, collaborative online tools, and encrypted messaging are all helping to power a massive, decentralized resistance to the Trump administration.

Amazing. They're so focused on the cameras & their effects that they're not even considering doing anything to improve the actual driving.

Instead of putting in traffic-calming measures (or something) during the pause, they're going to do things to make drivers more aware of the cameras. 🤔
