Nothing is more draining than working with entitled ass coworkers during a time like this.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I remember talking to a young woman in Vermont who left medical school with $300,000 in debt.

Her crime? She wanted to become a doctor and work with low-income people.

She shouldn’t be punished with a debt of $300,000. College indebtedness is a horror.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Student loan debt, school meal debt, and medical debt shouldn’t exist.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

“This ban is an intention to alienate people, like my mother, seeking opportunities; it alienates the tired, the poor and huddled masses.”
—@RitaOmokha

It’s personal for me too, Rita. I’m fighting like hell to #RepealTheBan and put this hateful policy in the dustbin of history.

@ 16 you thought it was okay to say niggers??? age does not stop racism.

[camila @Camila_Cabello]

I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart.

[Paris Thomas @goalsnparis]

attending a PWI being a black student is a non stop emotional draining rollercoaster.

[Paris Thomas @goalsnparis]

UCI SHIP presents itself as if it is doing something for students but I’m reality it is not. It is another feature that is once again made for the wealthy.. what do student do if they are sick and can’t afford a $20 copayment??? What do student do if they go to the ER & are poor?

[Paris Thomas @goalsnparis]

Before uci ship insurance I was covered by medical in which everything I ever needed was covered and I never had to pay a co-payment, never had to pay for medicine, literally was secured with health insurance. BUT NOT NOW

I never asked or requested to be put on it somehow I was put on it. Because I was put on it I have over $6000 on medical bills because they simply do not cover an emergency room visit.

Here is a rant about the uncalled for benefits of UCI SHIP healthcare insurance.

why do universities have police departments if the city already have police????

[Paris Thomas @goalsnparis]

Restorative justice is not enough to reform our unjust criminal justice system #SorryNotSorry #CriminalJusticeReform

[Merisa Heu-Weller @merisahw]

Thank you Blacks at Microsoft for the chance to share about the #criminaljusticereform initiative at the company. But most importantly, allowing us to bear witness to the grit and determination of three exonerated and brilliant men, Huwe Burton, Jarrett Adams, and Yusef Salaam.

[Revolutionary Change @JenPerelman24]

It is NEVER okay to put a CHILD in handcuffs.

The body cam footage of an Orlando police officer recently arresting Kaia Rolle is beyond disturbing.

We need #CriminalJusticeReform where we retrain law enforcement to end the school to prison pipeline.

[Paris Thomas @goalsnparis]

Let's discuss the school to prison pipeline.
1. From the very start of elementary schools and middle schools having "school police" we are setting our students up for failure. School is a place to LEARN but yet we have ARMED police officers at schools. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

[CFE Fund @CFEfund]

Our #SummerJobsConnect participants shared words of wisdom from their money mentors. Congrats to the winning responses from @LAEWDD, @ymm_newark, and @VB_SYEP!

[Paris Thomas @goalsnparis]

@CFEfund unfortunately my summer saving goal is nonexistent because I haven’t been paid yet🥴 if I was paid I would probably save to invest in my business. But unfortunately now when I am paid that is all going towards late bills I wasn’t able to pay this summer.

[Paris Thomas @goalsnparis]

My favorite part is seeing my students interact and knowing that I genuinely have a impact on them. Today we did an assignment where students expressed themselves. I’m happy to see my LA youth breaking out their shells. @CFEfund @GettingLAB2Work @LAEWDD #summerJobsConnect

[Paris Thomas @goalsnparis]

In school I never grasped the concepts unless I discussed it after. Today my students discussed 3 facts about credit they never knew. Here is what I do as a peer coach, I educate my community. 💙 @CFEfund @GettingLAB2Work #summerJobsConnect @LAEWDD
