.@GOPLeader, I urge you to #cancelstudentdebt in the next #coronavirus package. A #StudentDebtStimulus will help the 45 million people with student debt and stimulate the economy when it is needed most.

Banning the working class from working during a pandemic but not banning the rentier class from extracting rents has done more to instill an immediate and furious class consciousness than anything else I've ever seen.

"A fo ben, bid bont." -- from the medieval Welsh in the Mabinogion, which collects oral folklore from possibly as early as the 11th century. Translation: "They that would be a leader, let them be a bridge."

A BRIDGE, folks. A *BRIDGE.* Not a gate or a wall or a safe.

Wowwww, but let's keep using "Anglo-Saxon" cause it's in the Brits blood or something, cause that's pretty much what this is boiling down to these days. #medievaltwitter

@MLAconvention #MLA2021 How did this get posted?? This CFP is hate speech and has no academic merit whatsoever.

@micah_goodrich Your vulnerability and courage mean SO MUCH to your students who are there to listen and learn, maybe about themselves. I'm so sorry that some students were too close minded to see the value of what you were offering them.

Thread:
I’ve been thinking abt allyship lately & wyte ppl who genuinely want to be/do better. It can sometimes be hard to ask questions. I recently reread Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility: Why It’s so Hard to Talk to White People About Racism” & it got me thinking. 1/38

For teachers, don't gaslight your students by saying our racist authors weren't racist. Interrogate these folks from the beginning--@dorothyk98. And Heng reminds us plenty of fields have always taught critical canons as well as counter-canons. #MLA20 #shakerace #RaceB4Race
