I spoke with other immigration professionals today about the fascist attack on migrant rights in the US, escalating this week with Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest.

And as I wrote from Argentina, I realized how many Americans may not imagine what a fascist government will do to disappear its own citizens.

Banks Wanted Curbs on CFPB. They Got Chaos and Confusion Instead Banks and other financial companies were seeking a lighter touch and more certainty from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. What they’re getting is a sudden evisceration of the agency. And it’s...

Appropriate mix of headlines. Climate change accelerates, while the business world, under pressure from US conservatives, abandons any attempt to stop it

Same. I went away for awhile and feel like it’s bot-land now with friend requests and clickbait posts that I didn’t ask to see n my feed.

In recent days it seems like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are trying to see who can be the most repulsive person.
