I will always remember what John Walsh would say—“Trust the grass roots”. And for him trust meant believing that young people and communities know the world that they want to live in, and giving them a chance to build that future. Thank you John for your trust and your love.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

In two weeks, Biden will resume student debt payments—payments that have been paused for over three years. This will be a huge economic blow to tens of millions of families already struggling to get by. Grocery budgets will shrink. Pills will be cut in half. Evictions will rise.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu signed an executive order today that requires all new/renovated city-owned buildings be fossil fuel-free https://t.co/HBiU9Q5eCq

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.

[Reuters @Reuters]

Exclusive: Aspartame, one of the world's most common artificial sweeteners, is set to be declared a possible carcinogen next month by a leading global health body, pitting it against the food industry and regulators https://t.co/7Jv2XiJmAU

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.

70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.

All of DC is talking about work requirements, so @urbaninstitute did a deep dive on the research to see if they work.

Spoiler alert: they do little or nothing to increase employment, but do harm people's health https://t.co/e0c0ZoCFdc

[GreenRoots @GreenRootsEJ]

We call on @MassDOT to fully delead the Tobin Bridge, expedite clean-up, provide multilingual updates to residents, offer free healthcare and increase community grant from $1 million to $15 million for all the harm caused.
