Total student debt of 43 million Americans: $1.8 trillion

Total wealth of 719 billionaires in America: $4.56 trillion

Our job: Cancel student debt, make public colleges and universities tuition free and have the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The large majority of Americans support Roe v. Wade. This shouldn’t just be up to the Supreme Court. Congress can—and must—pass a law to protect the right to a safe and legal abortion, no matter what Trump’s justices say.

Black girls deserve girlhood — uninterrupted.

Black girls deserve to grow up and become women.

If you paid $14.99 a month for a Zoom Pro membership, you paid more to Zoom than it paid in federal income taxes even as it made $660 million in profits last year – a 4,000 percent increase since 2019. Yes. It's time to end a rigged tax code that benefits the wealthy & powerful.

.@POTUS set a goal to deliver 100 million vaccine shots in 100 days. His administration hit the milestone in just 58. Let’s keep it going: Please get the vaccine as soon as it’s available to you. It’s the only way to beat this pandemic.

The Atlanta shooter blamed a specific race of people for his problems, and then murdered them because of it. If that’s not racism, then the word has no meaning.

Everyone has the right to go to work, to go to school, to walk down the street and be safe, and also, the right to be recognized as an American, not as the other, not as them, but as us.
