Yes, President Donald J. Trump does have the authority to #CancelStudentDebt with the stroke of a pen. He can and must use it. The people deserve nothing less.

I go offline a few days and return to a GOP Gov blaming policies he hasn’t even implemented for his own failures. Gov. Abbott doesn’t seem to have a grasp on his state, so here’s a reminder: Texas runs 80-90% on fossil fuels. The real “deadly deal” is his failed leadership.

The infrastructure failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don’t* pursue a Green New Deal.

1. Who cares what school someone went to? Entire generations of working class kids were encouraged to go into more debt under the guise of elitism. This is wrong. 2. Nowhere does it say we must trade-off early childhood education for student loan forgiveness. We can have both.

The case against student loan forgiveness is looking shakier by the day. We’ve got the *Senate Majority Leader* on board to forgive $50k. Biden’s holding back, but many of the arguments against it just don’t hold water on close inspection. We can and should do it. Keep pushing!

Are you going to investigate why you were passing laws defending chik fil a instead of winterizing the grid? Because that would be faster and more to the point

So many Texans are in desperate conditions without heat, water, and little relief. Gov. Abbott needs to get off TV pointing fingers & start helping people. After that, he needs to read a book on his own state’s energy supply. I’ll be prepping TX relief emails if he needs help.

Very clever. I bet that took a long time to think up.

Today is a great day to call your representative and ask what their stance on student loan forgiveness is! ☺️ And if you know & appreciate your rep’s stance on this or other issues, it’s helpful to call and thank them. You can find your rep’s info here: house.gov/representative…

Republicans could trip over their own shoelaces and they’d still find a way to blame me, immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, the Green New Deal, BLM, anything but accept responsibility for their own actions and dealings. Ineptitude, bigotry, and corruption. Disasters in their own right.

Very wealthy people already have a student loan forgiveness program. It’s called their parents. The idea that millionaires and billionaires are willingly letting their kids drown in federal student loans & that’s why we can’t go big on forgiveness is about as silly as it sounds.

Average student loan debt in the US is ~$30k (LOTS have more) Many won’t fully feel $10k in forgiveness until after a Biden presidency is over, when they’ve spent 10 years paying off the other $20k+ Dems should be championing policy that people can feel ASAP. We need to go big.

It's Blame Your Daughter At Work Day.

If you can't find workers because they'd making more on unemployment than at your company, the problem isn't unemployment. The problem is your poverty wages.

NYPD officers arrested a guy with a BLM sticker on his helmet, didn't realize his phone was recording, were recorded bragging about milking overtime, calling a female arrestee a "liberal c--t," and joking about committing the arrestee to a mental hospital. gothamist.com/news/nypd-offi…
