Retiree here for political followings, mostly just to stay informed and current. Since we can't save posts, I repost instead to be able to find and share them later. I don't recommend following me, this acct is just a file cabinet for political activity.

Old here who remembers: I had to get my newspaper-publisher boss to sign for my first credit card in 1975.
If you don't believe this can happen, women didn't have the legal right to have their own credit cards without needing a male co-signer until 1974, when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) was passed, a landmark law that made it illegal to discriminate in lending based on sex or marital status.
The regime is attempting to make it legal for banks and credit card companies to discriminate against women and minorities, making credit access harder. There's just 1 day left to comment. Reject this premise based on the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. Comment here: tr.ee/I9k7aFPzg3

If you haven't watched this speech from The American President before.. you should.
I had it pinned for four years on my Twitter account during Trump's first administration, and it's for good reason.
