Imagine if Muslims and Black people threatened potential violence against the country and law enforcement if they investigated us...imagine the outrage, the headlines, and the discussions.
Trump, Hawley, Graham, and MAGA do it...eh, both sides.
As Biden cancels (some) student debt, remember why the debt exists. A key Reagan advisor warned in 1970 that free college was producing the dangerously explosive "dynamite" of an "educated proletariat," and "we have to be selective on who we allow to go through higher education":
The student loan system exists because the Baby Boom generation didn’t want to pay the taxes that helped put it through college at vastly subsidized tuition, but still expected younger generations to get all the same education.
Result: Generations of white-collar debt peonage.
There’s an odd strain of argument that doing things to help people is somehow nefarious or an illegitimate gift, rather than one of main goals of government.
I’ll remind folks of what I’ve posted before: in 1960 you could pay for a full year at the University of Minnesota with SIX WEEKS at a minimum wage job.
Student debt is a consequence of the systematic defunding of higher education, not bad borrower decisions. #CancelStudentDebt
my eternal advice to democrats is that no matter what you do, republicans will call it socialism and attack it, so just do the maximum possible to help the most people and don't hobble it out of the starter's gate in an attempt to "get republicans on board." that's all.
Periodic reminder to the press that if it’s raining and some batshit fascist cult leader says that it isn’t, your job is not to report to us that there are differing views about the weather. It’s to look out the fucking window.
Ok, I haven't even read this yet, but based on the picture alone, this post speaks to me so much!
I color-coded all my subjects throughout school (notebooks, folders, etc), & math was ALWAYS red, science ALWAYS green. (English = blue, history = purple b/c it is my favorite)
Liz Cheney is a Republican. She votes like one, she ideologically aligned with Trump a majority of the time—- the only time she faltered was to stand up for our democracy, and now she has lost her primary and been ousted by the GOP.
The GOP is dead. This is outright facism.
@NBCOlympics@TeamUSA Considering that Jason Lezak was the one who who pulled off the super human feat & willed the US to an upset win in the relay, maybe he should be the one mentioned.🤔😒
Phelps wouldn't have been able to win all 8 golds if it wasn't for Lezak.
I know I've been slacking on the #SYTYCD tweets lately (I've been working a lot when it airs😔), but TONIGHT is the S17 FINALE!!!🤩🎉💃🏻 It was a fantastic show with some incredible choreography - & ya know, a winner crowned😉😁- so make sure you tune in!!
Oh!! There's also possibly the sweetest, most adorable moment that's ever happened on the #SYTYCD stage! Like, almost a month after witnessing it, I'm still not over how lovely the moment was.🥰
