"The Republican Millionaires Caucus would rather protect tax giveaways for their big corporate donors and people like themselves than help build a lasting economy that works for everyone," said @KyleHerrig of @Accountable_US. cdreams.news/3xtIE2r

A disproportionate burden of student debt falls on Black borrowers.
President Biden can use executive authority to #CancelStudentDebt and help close the racial wealth gap.
Over 85% of Black students borrow federal loans to attend four-year colleges, compared to 59% of white students.
It's long overdue to even the playing field and finally address the student debt crisis. businessinsider.com/how-amer…

The Senate wants to give corporations legal immunity if their workers get COVID-19. Translation: no consequences if a company doesn’t provide protective equipment or enforce physical distancing.
This is a green light for corporate abuse. RT if you agree: #NoCorporateImmunity

Let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture: after years of industry attacks and GOP opposition, a conservative Supreme Court recognized what we all knew: the @CFPB itself and the law that created it is constitutional. The CFPB is here to stay.

Demanding justice for workers and people of color isn’t shameless.
It’s the least people in positions of privilege can do.
