Black male voters in Georgia turned out in record breaking numbers for the first day of early voting and I haven't seen one news media article mentioning this story.
I think we all know why.

MAGA: Canceling student loans is immoral. This is why we need a Govt based on the Bible.
Deuteronomy 15: “At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made.”
MAGA: Not that part of the Bible.

The student debt fight is why understanding the history of race construction, racism, race hierarchy is critical. Our divestment in public goods begins with integration & Black people getting access.Large # white people oppose economic policies if they think Black people benefit.

A whole lot of folks who supposedly pray, “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors” don’t see debt forgiveness as an answer to prayer.

“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.” —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1963

The filibuster was popularized during Jim Crow by Southern senators seeking to block civil rights legislation. There is absolutely no reason to preserve it — especially as Republicans wage a war against democracy in front of our very eyes.

We need to stop measuring the economy by how well rich people are doing.

Democracies don’t die overnight. They slowly erode before completely dismantling. We can't let that happen. We must change the rules to save voting rights. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watc…
Read this thread.
(1/9) Our new article on police-related fear (with @agrahamphd) shows that Black and White Americans live in different emotional worlds. This thread summarizes our findings.
