There is no reason that as a country, we force people to take on massive amounts of debt to get an education.
@POTUS must deliver broad-based student debt relief.
This story is progress. It also confirms for me what I always said about NPR: that they never mentioned the real culprit: Capitalism. This is a start:

Sanctions on other nations by the US is about trying to increase capital’s foothold.
The way the US practices the same amount of economic punishment and coercion on its own citizens is through austerity: no healthcare, higher education, for instance. Desperation makes us easy
This slat house, made from reclaimed wood and recycled materials, was my uncle’s last big project before he died. What a great example of his work, his love, and his ability to live in the moment that he left this for his wife (my aunt)
Groovy like Greg!
Democrats ignore these material conditions at their own peril. Used to be you just had to positive message your way to a win, like Reagan’s nonsense. Now voters are experiencing something dramatic, and pie in the sky shit won’t win.

INSPIRATION: Indigenous hero Uncle Rio was just arrested protecting the last old growth forest on Vancouver Island in Canada. Cedar trees 2,000 years old are being cut overnight so one company can make a paltry $20m profit.

The audacity of Clearcover to change my mileage per year because they assume I’m now commuting for a job, with absolutely no basis upon which to make this assumption… and to do the same for my dad’s… is stunning. And to continue to apply commuting to Hollywood to my husband’s car even when we’ve provided evidence he works from home for three years now…
Y’all already raised our rates to pay for other people’s bad driving. Enough
Helping set up for my union - we’re building up for a contract negotiation drive. #UnionYes
We have 8% of teachers opting out - bc Janus was a horrible choice.
The few folks I met who hated AMLO had Inter generational wealth and wanted to see the cartels pay. They didn’t care if the US would benefit from both the war on drugs and the increased desperation that war caused for migrants. “Pirates must hang” they told me. 5/9
I was young and I drank hard. I was just starting to realize my daily need for booze. I embraced it. When Election Day rolled around, my friend warned me that liquor wouldn’t be sold for 24 hours. Crafty lil boozehound I was at the time, I found a bootlegger. 4/9
