Hey neighbor firing off illegal fireworks tonight, r u aware of the 3 combat veterans within earshot, 50 homes with dogs, a pair of 2020 wildfire victims who lost everything, and another 10 with very small children whose exhausted parents would like to sleep!? #merica#Happy4th
We give billions of dollars of subsidies to oil companies, manufacturers, farmers and banks, but would never give student loan forgiveness to educate its citizens. The first wealth of a nation is education and knowledge. Invest in your people America
In the wake of today's Supreme Court decision on student loan relief, we need a new way forward. And we're moving as fast as we can.
Here's what's next:
Our student debt relief plan would have provided over 40 million Americans with real breathing room as they recover from the pandemic.
Congressional Republicans had no problem with billions in pandemic-related loans to businesses.
Some even had their own loans forgiven.
President Biden was trying to provide students $10,000 – $20,000 in student debt relief.
By comparison, the average amount forgiven for PPP loans was over $70,000.
Some of the same elected Republicans who voted to overturn my student loan relief plan benefitted from thousands in pandemic relief loans to keep their own businesses open.
Those loans were forgiven.
Now, they refuse to extend the same relief to borrowers with student debt.
$760 billion in PPP loans were forgiven.
That’s $360 billion more than this Administration’s student debt relief program.
And, several Republican members of Congress who opposed student debt relief benefited from those PPP loans.
@PortlandGov@PDXFire@PortlandGov@tedwheeler There needs to be a PSA campaign informing the public of this on a mass scale! Social media isn't enough. Every six months I argue with neighbors who don't know about this ban. I wholly support the ban and wish it was statewide. #banfireworks
All fireworks are banned in Portland.
Fireworks during the Fourth of July are a tradition, but more fires are reported on this day than on any other of the year in the United States. Fireworks cause nearly half of them.

This is the story of all the CIA assets dying in a parallel to when Trump was showing classified documents to people with no clearance at Mar-a-Lago. I thought you'd want to read it. RT for max exposure.
