The Biden administration just announced a plan for 30 MILLION student loan borrowers to receive debt relief.

This would allow so many people with student debt to buy houses, start a family, go back to school, and so much more.

The core values of global democracy — what makes us different from authoritarian regimes — are the upholding of civil and human rights, rule of law, & equal protection of all people.

That's why the US cannot in good conscience allow our resources to enable a mass famine in Gaza.

In case of an aftershock, drop to the floor, cover your head and neck, and take additional cover under a solid piece of furniture, next to an interior wall, or in a doorway.

“These are the heroes of WCK. These 7 beautiful souls were killed by the IDF in a strike as they were returning from a full day's mission. Their smiles, laughter, and voices are forever embedded in our memories.” - Erin Gore, CEO. Read more: wck.org/news/honoring-…

Donald Trump's legal troubles are not the result of a witch hunt or conspiracy. He is simply being held accountable for his blatant corruption and crimes.

Everyone should be treated equal under the law.

Social Security recipients in NY-14 have had hundreds of dollars taken from their social security checks because SSA overpaid. This is no fault of their own.

NYC’s largest labor union, @DC37NYC, just endorsed the Green New Deal for Public Housing! 💚🏠💪🏽

1.1M Gazans are on the brink of starvation. This is the result of a forced famine being perpetrated by the Israeli government.

It’s against US law to provide weapons to forces who block United States humanitarian assistance, yet that is exactly what is happening right now.

There is no world in which the forced famine of 1.1 million people cannot be considered genocide. And that is exactly what we are watching unfold in Gaza now.

We must enforce U.S. laws and halt weapons transfers to the Israeli government to stop an atrocity in the making.

Our fight for livable future means fighting for safe, sustainable, and affordable places to live, not just for a healthy climate. That’s why I’m glad to join Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders for today’s reintroduction of the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act.

We're in the midst of a housing and climate crisis – in Vermont, New York, California, and across our country. Too many people are homeless and too many are paying 50% or more of their limited income on housing. Enough is enough. It's time for a Green New Deal for Public Housing.

We’re reintroducing the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act with @sensanders & Congresswoman Delia Ramirez to address the housing crisis in this country. Our bill will expand public housing, create jobs, repeal the Faircloth amendment, and more — all while making housing more affordable.

LIVE: It’s past time we address the affordable housing crisis in this country and the existential threat of climate change. It’s time for a Green New Deal for Public Housing. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
