@peterdaou Hmmm, this is America, you will have to be more specific on which mess. I'm not sure we can comment on ALL the current messes at once.
It would be like counting the grains of sand on a beach 😄
@briebriejoy At this point, $60k wouldn't do much. That is about all I took out, but, with the massive interest....last I looked it was 90k+
It might as well be a million. There is no way to pay off student loan debt unless you are filthy rich.
@ajamubaraka I am SO happy Jill and you stand up this shit. At the end of the day, this will be the only thing that stops Trump's bullshit.
Our country can't take any more of this shit.
@RonPlacone@GreenPartyUS The problem, also, electoral politics are rigged. Especially, this time around, I'm not convinced Jill was under 5% of the vote . There is no way to verify anything. Even when Trump cries it is rigged, there is no system of verification in place to ensure no tampering.
@krystalball@MSNBC@MalaikaJabali They say this now, but they knew it. It isn't a sudden awareness post-election. They won't change things. This was exactly why Hillary lost in 2016. This time around, I wasn't arguing with them....saves my mental energy....but I knew they'd lose all the same. They don't care.
@peterdaou So, I had a canvasser, that caught me outside, ask me this same thing when I told her I was voting for Stein: "How will voting for Stein stop the genocide?" I asked her: "How will voting for Harris stop the genocide?" She was dumbfounded, I went in and closed my door.
Strikes are a last resort. Labor understands this. The Longshoremen’s Association wants to work. Not having a proper contract is preventing them from doing so. Here’s hoping good faith bargaining comes to the table from management.
If not, shut. it. down. ✊
@marwilliamson@RobertKennedyJr RFK, I hear, won't be on the ballot in PA either. Jill Stein will be though!
The signature gathering numbers are ridiculous. I heard the Dems and Repubs need 15 signatures, but 10k, 25k, or 50 thousand for anyone else.
@peterdaou I think a lot of people DON'T ACCEPT the support of Israel. Biden was allowed to debate Trump-- they knew what would happen. Then "OMG, he is senile!" & was replaced by Harris. Gaza is what cost Biden the election. The rich knew it. That is why the switch so close to election.
@fuckyouiquit Housing shouldn't be gated by huge amounts of debt either. Fuck capitalism. These useless bankers and billionaires add nothing of value to ur society.
This is awesome but we should start rephrasing this as "had predatory interest and fees removed" so boomers can wrap their heads around it and start supporting student loan forgiveness.
Someday, we’re going to look back at this clip of protesters begging the Vice President to stop beheading Palestinian babies, while Kimmel jokes they’re “ruining his flow” while cueing the band to play the protestors off, and wonder: how could people have been this cruel.
