We often tweet "cancels student debt" and then someone replies with "the Supreme Court stopped Biden, he can't do that!" A few reasons why that's not true. First, you need to understand what the court said to understand why this response doesn't hold water:

Cancelling $4T in taxes for 815 billionaires but not $1.7T in student debt for 40M Americans is the modern version of let them eat cake.

President Donald J. Trump Only a fraction of student debt was forgiven. 43 million with student debt are struggling with no affordable housing/healthcare, price gouging, work multi jobs, live pay-paycheck. They will not survive 10-30 more yrs of PSLF payments. Erase it all: x.com/benbiotic/stat…

🚨Immigrants are essential to our communities & our economy. Mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship & humanitarian protections while weaponizing local law enforcement goes against everything that makes us great. We say NO to hate and cruelty & YES to dignity for all!

NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country. Brief explainer for those not in this world: buff.ly/3EtML7D

Distilling the potential impact of science based on a title is so dangerous. Some of the biggest biomedical breakthroughs came from research that, at first glance, seemed ‘pointless or unrelated. Here are a few that I'm sure might have caused an uproar in the headlines:

It's clear that many do not understand what NIH-funded research does to improve health. It's time to revive a study published 10 years ago that provides incredible information about this. link in the comment Every single new drug approved by the FDA from 2010–2016 was built on

The four horseman of the ER right now: 1. Influenza A-so much of it 2. COVID 3. RSV 4. Pneumonia Mask, sanitize, wash hands, and get those vaccines folks!

When the shit hits the fan everybody meet up at the library. The MAGAs don't know about that place

So thoughtful and presidential 🙄

Reasonably so, given the GOP’s current tendencies towards voter suppression, gerrymandering, and manipulation of the electoral process to install oligarchical fascists.

You’re really trying to make this out to be America’s Reichstag Fire, aren’t you? When does the resolution come out declaring Democrats to be enemies of the state and terrorist sympathizers? Is Dear Leader satisfied with you?

He doesn’t want the money as much as he wants to control access to the money, group by group. Stop enabling fascists by minimizing the steps they are taking to control the population. The leopards will eventually eat your face, too.

The GOP stopped listening to strongly worded letters over 20 years ago. The current iteration is hurtling us headlong into fascism, and are doing so even with the gov running. After they have come for me, they will not remember your benevolence when they come for you.

When I send in my sixth PSLF appeal, I’ll be sure to tell MOHELA that my student loans are gone because I have earned “the favor of God and man.” Surely that should cover any outstanding balances for our country’s public servants, no?

Purging the government of opposition by going after “Marxists” was among the first things the NSDAP did as well. You’re not doing anything special or unprecedented, just following in the footsteps of other fascists.

I see you missed the class on proofreading. Funny, considering you’re gloating over taking the axe to the “Departmen of Education.”

*poll tax. They voted against having a poll tax, kinda like what you would normally do assuming you’re not a fascist.

Introspection Barbie?
