I urge California state senators @Portantino, @ToniAtkins, and others to pass the Student Borrower Bill of Rights #AB376. The economic impact of the #COVID19 crisis makes it clear we need to #ProtectBorrowers now, more than ever.
Only in America can a 75 year old man get shoved by the police, hit his head on the pavement with blood pouring out his ears, get a subdural hematoma requiring serial CT scans and even a possible craniotomy, and the President of the United States calls him a terrorist on Twitter.
Cops aren't wearing their uniforms to and from work right now because they're afraid someone might attack them or their families. Can you imagine that? Living with a constant fear of being killed by a complete stranger because, to them, you look like a threat?
imagine if you said “abolish slavery” a bunch of elites were trotted out to say “don’t worry, they don’t actually mean *abolishing* slavery—just REIMAGINING slavery!” but I suppose that’s what they did to create our prison system
American history books are like:
Slavery was bad but then Lincoln fixed it 😊
Then, segregation was also bad but Malcolm X didn't need to be so mean about it 😡 but MLK went on a biiig walk and fixed racism! The last racist left killed him 😭 but then he went to jail 🎉 the end
