Former Rep. Brad Miller (@BMillRep) is a solid hero of consumers. He gets why Republicans wanna destroy @CFPB – deregulation DURING a financial crisis!

Nothing warms the cockles of my heart like seeing Matt Taibbi get owned. And DWS doing it with his own words? The icing on my schadenfreude cake.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: Journalists should avoid accepting spoon-fed, cherry-picked information if it's likely to be slanted, would you agree with that?

TAIBBI: I think it depends

WS: Really? *plays clip of Taibbi basically agreeing with the premise of her question on Rogan's pod*

Excellent breakdown of Pop Ed by @TakeOnWallSt’s @erickadtaylor! “To put a finer point on it, by validating people’s experiences, popular education helps them deepen their consciousness of their role as actors capable of effecting change.” 🔥

[Institute for Policy Studies @IPS_DC]

From 1983-2016, our researchers found median White wealth increased by 33%. The median Black family, in contrast, saw their wealth decrease by more than half.

@MarshaBlackburn Thanks for reminding me why it's hard to imagine living in my home state of TN. It's politicians--and people--like you.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

But aside from shooting people in the face, dragging black kids down elementary school hallways, fighting to spread COVID, falsifying police reports, saddling 18-year-olds with felonies for smoking a blunt, collecting debt, and solving about 42% of crimes…

They keep us safe.

[Ericka Taylor 🐺 @erickadtaylor]

This.

[Covie @covie_93]

I've never seen the media interview a black parent about how race is being taught to their children.

[Ericka Taylor 🐺 @erickadtaylor]

This is a truly powerful story.

[National Book Critics Circle @bookcritics]

[Ericka Taylor 🐺 @erickadtaylor]

This is horrific.

[Shawn Vestal @vestal13]

Great thread, but don't skip the story. Fantastic journalism about gut-wrenching injustice against children.

[NPR Books @nprbooks]

Critic @erickadtaylor says Andrea Elliott's riveting INVISIBLE CHILD "is sure to linger in the minds of many readers long after the last page has been turned." https://t.co/l1UU4hPql3

[Ericka Taylor 🐺 @erickadtaylor]

@pampetkanas @TakeOnWallSt Thanks for checking out the site--and for flagging the issue with your answers being captured! We'll look into the problem.
And we couldn't agree more--that this system is unjust by design is truly astounding.

[Take On Wall St @TakeOnWallSt]

Closing out the panel lovefest, @erickadtaylor introduces https://t.co/DblFUso7HK, a tool for building power that Take on Wall Street is bringing to the conversation at #EconCon.

.@erickadtaylor: If you made 5k day from that point on every single day, you still wouldn't be a billionaire. You would not even have earned what Bezos earned every week during the pandemic. #EconCon

[Take On Wall St @TakeOnWallSt]

DC now has strongest EITC in country, will put extra money in pockets for 40k people. Did by raising taxes on top 4%. About people seeing their fight in each others' eyes. COVID highlighted how linked we are, esp when fighting organized capital. @erickadtaylor [2/2] #EconCon

[Take On Wall St @TakeOnWallSt]

.@JerusalemDemsas: What about essential workers?

@erickadtaylor: Intense attack on essential workers has helped create solidarity. Here in DC, broad coalition came together to make sure eviction moratorium was extended well beyond other cities. People organized. [1/2]
