In 2021, Peter Nesbitt @wpadc called out white corruption in the DC arts sector:
“An almost-colonial mind-set that is emboldened by its ability to forge backroom deals with the city council, and play puppet-master to the [arts commission.”

A motion brought by Supervisor Hilda Solis was unanimously approved to denounce "the devastation of the Zoot Suit Riots, recognize [it] as a dark chapter in Los Angeles County's history, and recommit to fighting against racial discrimination.''

We need to claw back lavish pay from failed bank executives.
CEOs who blow up their banks — by loading up on risk to boost their profits and pad their pockets — should not walk away scot-free as the government cleans up their mess.
I’ve got a bipartisan bill to get it done.
.@SenWarren: "How much of the $40 million dollars that you earned from loading up SVB bank with risk are you planning to return to the FDIC?"
Former SVB CEO Gregory Becker: "I know there's going to be a process review of compensation."
Warren: I'll take that as a no.
This is a great episode from Kenny, including my music! <3
