I’ll take the party offering $10,000 to low and middle class Americans with student loan debt over the party offering $10,000 in bounties for people who capture women seeking an abortion any day.

1. It wasn’t a raid
2. It wasn’t Biden
3. Trump isn’t on the ballot
4. It was > 90 days before midterms
5. Judge found probable cause
6. Classified documents were found
7. Trump had no right to docs as ex-POTUS
8. Trump increased the penalties for such crimes
9. I could go on

Spot on. In every way.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

President Biden's announcement today about student loan debt relief has upset some people who believe it's unfair. I acknowledge that resentment, and also, while we're on the subject of unfairness, I have some thoughts for your consideration. (thread)

[L G Johnson @l_g_johnson]

@POTUS And I don't get a tax refund on all of it, not even close. So where is that money going?
Seems like the federal gov't is getting a LOT of money from loan interest, so why would they want to change that?

[L G Johnson @l_g_johnson]

In the discussion surrounding student loans, why aren't we talking about the insane interest rates and how they're compounded daily?!?!
If a bank can borrow money from the government at 1.75% interest, why can't students? @POTUS?

A 18-year-old white man drove hours to Buffalo and shot and killed multiple people at a grocery store in a predominately Black community.

That is the definition of terrorism

Marginally, it’s about the Oscars slap, but really it’s about so much more.

@jodiemartinphd Something I’ve noticed being in rehearsals for a choir (fully masked) is that the direction you’re facing makes a big difference. Unless someone is facing me when speaking/singing, I have a harder time hearing and understanding them.

Texas is a rogue state. We need to put a stop to its assault on trans kids, pregnant people, and whoever else white cishetero men wish to victimize next.

It must be nice to never need a landmark case to acknowledge your human rights.

We collectively changed the meaning of “literally” to its exact opposite.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

"they" will not become a part of general usage, not for political reasons but because there would be no pronoun to distinguish between a singular subject ("they") & a plural subject ("they"). language seeks to communicate w/ clarity, not to obfuscate; that is its purpose.

If you are waking up to news about the #TexasAbortionLaw and want to do something about it - give to folks on the front lines! A thread🧵:

@sociolinguista My friend and I gave up on purses as well, but instead with both use cigarette cases! They are the perfect size for cards (credit and ID) and the elastic inside is great for holding money. Used to use mine only for transit card, now it holds everything!
