Just experienced the private student loan process for the first time and it is unbelievable how high interest these loans are — you’re telling me $5k is going to cost almost 15k over the course of the loan?? 5k barely covers two classes worth of tuition!! It creates a debtor…
Today, @splcenter - an organization with nearly a billion dollars in reserves, given an F rating by CharityWatch for “hoarding” donations - gutted its staff by a quarter.
The Biden administration couldn't even pretend to go along with the most laughably, cartoonishly pathetic proposal to mitigate civilian casualties imaginable.
Columbia University grads dumped their caps and gowns outside the school in protest of the banning of pro-Palestine student groups.

1st, I didn’t think what @RepEpps said in the well was controversial. 2nd, this is just the beginning. Even if Epps loses the 24 election - trust oppo $ is flowing - it doesn’t matter. More brave, young, strong people are coming. Look what @CandiCdeBacaD9 did. Buckle up.

BREAKING: Democratic Party headquarters has been SHUT DOWN demanding a #CeasefireNOW.
We're here with@JVPaction&@DemSocialists because 80% of Democratic voters support a ceasefire, but Biden and party leaders refuse to listen.

BLOCK COP CITY🚨🚨🚨

The message is clear - cop city will never be built! #StopCopCity
the most well respected institutions in the world being fecklessly ignored by their own governments while they are enduring the most cruel, violent oppressor on the planet (and there are many) is the indictment of the west we should never have needed to understand that truth
