Very wealthy people already have a student loan forgiveness program. It’s called their parents.
The idea that millionaires and billionaires are willingly letting their kids drown in federal student loans & that’s why we can’t go big on forgiveness is about as silly as it sounds.
Social media--it's a big deal. But as someone who was a teenager in rural Kansas when @FoxNews & conservative radio hit in the '90s & watched local culture rapidly change before my eyes, know that they laid the groundwork for this could-be civil war way before Trump & his tweets.
Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.
I want Trump to be removed so that every 5th grader who asks “why was Mike Pence President for 2 days” hears a story about why white supremacy & fascism are threats to democracy. Millions of students in the next decades will ask this question and will know to reject fascism.
@AngelaDavisMPR 7y/o fully DL all year. I had zero expectations but her teacher is a miracle worker who amazes me every day with her engaging attitude and hard work. My daughter is actually doing well. Not ideal but exceeded my expectations for sure.

I'm no economist, but when I give lectures about our class structure and growing up in rural poverty, someone always asks these two questions, and I always give these three-word answers.
"What causes poverty?"
"Being born poor."
"How do we solve poverty?"
"Give people money."
Last night Trump attacked Medicare for All as "socialized medicine." Funny. I didn't hear him complain when he received the best socialized medicine in the world for free at a 100% government run hospital. Yup. Trump loves socialism for himself, rugged individualism for the rest.
