The US government wrote off almost all the money it lent businesses during the pandemic.
Now it's wrecking credit scores and threatening to garnish paychecks to collect student loans.
Debt can be forgiven easily enough — just not for the working class. https://t.co/MHen9PN9LT
S/O to Vanessa Baden Kelly for writing the best episode of #Lanterns yet and bringing nuance to John Stewart’s origin story. Tying his fight to prove himself as the next Green Lantern to what it means to be a Black man in that position was brilliant.

Reminding folks, we’re not a museum, we’re a BOOKSHOP where you can touch everything —type on the typewriter, light a candle, write on the walls, play the piano, have a tea, read a book—it’s a whole experience. https://t.co/3y8TNYaFIf
This is what a rigged economy looks like:
Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than at any time in American history, worse than the “Gilded Age” of Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan and Carnegie.
Today, the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90% and one man, Mr. Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households.
Not acceptable. We can, and must, create an economy that works for all, not just the few.
I wrote about a group of Black dads who are building community by meeting up for yoga, and a instructor who randomly drives up to people on the street for on the spot yoga sessions https://t.co/gtExid9Yk6
Wearing @PostGuild red today.
I was able to challenge my @washingtonpost firing — and win reinstatement plus back pay — all thanks to being a part of the @WBNG32035 Guild.
Binding Arbitration is a part of our contract.
This is why unions matter!!!
This is what it looks like to put the many over the money.
Congratulations @AbdulElSayed and @DonavanMI13 on your historic primary wins!
Our fight continues. Onward to November.
A Black man tried to vote in Florida, so they erased his entire town.
Ocoee, Election Day, 1920. Mose Norman showed up to the polls and was turned away. That night, mobs attacked the Black side of town. July Perry was lynched.
Homes and churches burned. Ocoee's Black community fled — and the town stayed essentially all-white for decades.
All because one man tried to vote. We documented it in our book, 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For. Get yours with the link below https://t.co/V6OJtazidd
