Ralph Paul Yarl was picking up his two siblings. He went to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri. The White man who opened the door did not see a lost 16-year-old boy. He saw a threat. Shot Ralph, twice. Once in the head to kill him. Somehow Ralph survived. 1/

@votetoddkruse @EducationMN 3. Because the K-12 teachers' union represents you as a faculty member, and is actually a preK through college union supporting folks with student debt relief, which is BTW an issue with high bipartisan support?

[Briddyjoy @briddyjoy]

@votetoddkruse @EducationMN 2. It was private between you and your union until you tweeted it

[Briddyjoy @briddyjoy]

@votetoddkruse @EducationMN 1. It's targeted to union members like you who might, like you, have debt and qualify for forgiveness

Borrowers are not getting the information they need from their servicers—27% of Minnesota borrowers report that their servicer did not tell them about income-driven repayment, a critical option that allows borrowers to pay only what they can afford each month. #StudentDebtCrisis

[Briddyjoy @briddyjoy]

This is why a we need a borrower bill of rights.

[Center for Responsible Lending @CRLONLINE]

New @CRLOnline and @MorningConsult polling shows that the student loan crisis is real in Minnesota: more than half of all Minnesota student loan borrowers struggle to make payments, 26% have put off buying necessities, and 17% have delayed medical care. #StudentDebtCrisis

[We Make Minnesota @wemakemn]

Our budget is how we care for one another. But instead of pitching in their fair share, the richest among us have used this pandemic to get even richer.

Minnesotans are calling on #mnleg to make sure the people on top #ShareTheWealth, so we can #FundOurFutures.

Destiny Belmont's journey to become a school psychologist was expensive - and frustrating. It’s time to pass the Student Borrowers Bill of Rights to regulate student loan servicers and represent the interest of borrowers, not corporations. #mnleg #edmnvotes #degreesnotdebt

[Education Minnesota @EducationMN]

Borrowers like Chaska teacher Sarah Rother need someone to protect them from abuses by student loan servicers.

Thank you @zackstephenson & @ZachDuckworth for leading on this issue by authoring the Student Borrowers Bill of Rights! #mnleg #edmnvotes #degreesnotdebt

Just a reminder: Disney canned Carano for an overwrought Holocaust comparison. They brought back James Gunn despite these tweets. I defended both from cancellation. Would be nice to see Gunn and co. defend Carano.

Student loan debt has a disproportionate effect on economically vulnerable populations – veterans, seniors, communities of color. Congress should #CancelStudentDebt to ensure relief reaches the lowest income and most vulnerable borrowers @BobbyScott @SpeakerPelosi

[Briddyjoy @briddyjoy]

Broad student loan debt cancellation is paramount if we want to provide borrowers with relief during #COVID19 and jumpstart the economy. We call on
@JoeBiden @KamalaHarris to #CancelStudentDebt #Day1Action #CRLEquityandEconomics #ItsThatSimple

@TylerPeschong I grew up in Marshall, and you can be nice and still be racist. They aren’t mutually exclusive. And yes, we should take every opportunity to call out bull shit, racist actions.
