Since 1978, two years after student loan debt became non-dischargeable through bankruptcy, college tuition increased by 1,120%. The system is rigged.

It’s been six weeks since President Biden said he would make an announcement on canceling student debt “in a few weeks.”

15 students formed a debtors union started a debt strike, now 560,000 will be getting 100% of their federal student loans cancelled
You deserve a union too. If we all strike together, we can cancel $1.7T for 45 million people. Debtors have power.

I kid you not, she also had all of her $73k in student loan debt forgiven by the Biden admin. How could you write a thread that crass and exploitative of trans folks, mass shooting & rape victims, lecturing people to be grateful for any amount when you yourself got $125k excused?

$10k in cancellation would mean I’d go from mathematically not being able to pay my loans off to also mathematically not being able to my loans off

It’s time to general strike. People are dying. Everything is overpriced. No one is valued. They’ve intentionally broken up our communities so we don’t think we can make it without continuing to make (them) money. We need a general strike or things will stay the same.

electoralism is utilized by the ruling class to place the blame of structural and institutional violence on the individual choice of voters so you don’t hold them accountable. this is not red state vs blue state, wake up. you can’t vote this out.

I can't get over how cops confronted the shooter at the door, let him get by them, then made up a story about body armor. While a teacher gave her life trying to defend her kids. The difference could not be clearer.

Obama ordered a drone strike which ki!!ed 16 year-old American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, his teenage cousin, and 5 other civilians as they were eating at an outdoor cafe in Southern Yemen.

The problem isn’t just gun control, it’s the normalization of violence.
When you’re the largest global military spender, the number one arms dealer, have a militarized police that kill 3 Americans per day & the largest prison pop in the world, violence is woven into the society.

Random gun violence in the USA is a *symptom* of the disease. Our nation was founded on genocide and racial violence. We are aggressively patriarchal and deeply individualistic. We glorify billionaires and look down on the poor. 🧵1/

I do wish teachers unions would decide to shut the country down. It wouldn’t stop the shootings but it would show people their power. And that’s invaluable.
Today is another example of the kind of "exceptionalism" that America brings. Over 40 mass shootings in a single month.

It absolutely never fails.

Time to bust another police myth! Cops constantly talk up the dangers of the job (the thin blue line & putting their lives on the line from a “dangerous criminal element”). Truth is that being a cop is NOT EVEN in the top 8 most dangerous jobs. Let’s highlight the ones that are:

I thought folks would see it; I thought the contradictions would be self evident. But during the pandemic, your government said fuck you. Millions of people died and millions more have chronic illnesses for life. Rent is high, gas is damn near higher. & you have no healthcare.
