The student loan payment pause ends this month. But another payment extension is not enough to address the #StudentDebtCrisis.
Borrowers should not be forced back into repayment while we wait for @POTUS to #CancelStudentDebt.

As we digest the IRA, it's important not to lose sight that @POTUS should be working in concert w/Congress to fight climate chaos.
President Biden should a declare a #ClimateEmergency immediately and unlock all his executive powers to confront the fossil fuel industry head-on.

Means-testing #CancelStudentDebt is age discrimintory bc wages go up as you work longer, so older borrowers may be hitting $125k income but didn’t have ability to save for retirement or buy a house.
Technocrats- pls just listen to impacted people.

That’s close to $2 TRILLION of debilitating debt crushing millions of Americans every day — denying them better futures and destroying their financial freedom for decades.
@POTUS, you have the power to fix this. And you must.

Climate change is a legacy of colonialism and thus imperialism. A system whereby a few men in the North decided that they could dominate and exploit the land, cultures, social structures and people of the South.
