The average amount of debt forgiveness to businesses receiving PPP loans: $95,700. If we could afford to cancel hundreds of billions in PPP loans to business owners in their time of need, please do not tell me we can't afford to cancel all student debt for 45 million Americans.
From passage of the #SB202 voter suppression bill targeted at Black and brown voters to the arrest of a Black legislator who was advocating for the voting rights of her constituents, today was a reminder of Georgia’s dark past. We must fight for the future of our democracy #gapol

Hawley's argument is that Congress is the venue for objecting to the election. It is not. Concerns about specific state elections should and were raised in the courts. They were rejected. There is no venue for Congress to adjudicate and resolve those issues.
I’m thankful to be safe, but it’s actually unfathomable to me that Capitol Police were this unprepared.
We knew there were going to be mass protests. We knew some people would try to storm the building. There have apparently only been 13 arrests. How did this happen?
“This is treason. This is insurrection. This is rebellion,” says @VanJones68 of pro-Trump rioters. “I have heard people looking at small protests in Portland, Oregon — where people were teargassed, beaten, kidnapped — and they said... ‘We have to have law and order.’”
Think about how much suffering and injustice Black Americans have faced for *centuries* in this country. Yet they have never attacked the Capitol, nor have Native Americans.
And yet a bunch of white #MAGA snowflakes decided to attack the Capitol because they lost an election.
When the Capitol is cleared and secured, and the joint session of Congress and the electoral vote count is completed, the House and the Senate should proceed immediately to the impeachment and removal of @realDonaldTrump.
It should not go unnoticed that ads targeting things said and done in Black churches seem to be fair game in politics, but criticisms of white evangelicals’ positions on social issues are often reflexively deemed an attack on religious liberty or Christianity itself.
"For American educators, it's a great day for you all. You are going to have one of your own in the White House."
