To the USC and UCLA students protesting the atrocities in Gaza, you are on the right side of history.
I am sorry your administration & elected leaders, who should be protecting you, have harmed & failed you.
As history has shown, protesting injustice is always the right to do.
Yesterday the Supreme Court made it harder for anyone who isn't white to pursue higher education.
Today the Court made it harder for anyone who isn't rich.
Are you seeing a pattern?
Let me get this straight...
Students getting relief from onerous debt is unconstitutional.
But justices secretly getting hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in gifts, vacations, and free housing and education for their family members is just fine.
Hello?
For the first time in the history of Rutgers University, all three faculty, grad, EOF, and postdoc unions have voted to go on strike. Monday morning, we are ON STRIKE. See you on the picket line. #RUOnStrike
Tyre Nichols should be alive. Charges alone aren’t justice. Change is.
At least 1,176 people were killed by law enforcement last year - a record. Billions in trainings, body cams, and reforms haven’t stopped it. In fact, it’s gotten worse. We must grow out of this cycle together
The effort to separate the officers who murdered Tyre Nichols from the system of policing that produced them is palpable.
Police killings in the US reached a record high in 2022. That has only been rewarded with more funding at the expense of schools, hospitals, housing, & more.
I will be re-introducing my bill to extend Social Security's solvency for the next 75 years & expand benefits by $2,400 a year. How? By scrapping the cap. Today, a billionaire pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $160,000 a year. Let's end that absurdity.
Since 2020, for every dollar the bottom 90% have gained, billionaires have gained $1.7 million. This level of inequality is not only unsustainable, it’s downright cruel.
MAGA Republicans are holding the economy hostage in order to force deeply unpopular cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and other key programs.
They don't actually care about the national debt. (They added ~$7 trillion to debt under Trump.) They just want to make your life worse.
I’m sick and tired of hearing this lie peddled by the GOP and corporate media. Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken on— and defaulting on the debt would be catastrophic.
.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.
You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.
In reality, student debt has been canceled for the past two years and the world hasn’t ended because of it. Why not just cancel it all and make college tuition-free moving forward?
