I was a low-income student who went to an elite school, and did what society told me to do to live a “good life,” and several years later I’m over $100K in debt and my family still lives in poverty. 🤷🏽♀️
New - Biden completely rejects Schumer/Warren proposal to cancel $50K of student loan debt per borrower:

Says he doesn't want to forgive debts of borrowers from elite schools -- and money would be better spent on early childhood education.

Still so disappointed w/ the lack of POC representation in Denver’s political coverage last night—from reporters to political experts. Denver has a 30% Latino population,& still that continues not to be reflected in mainstream coverage. It’s not enough to have one Latina reporter

A lot of ppl saying they “crossed illegally” & “broke the law”—Seems there’s a lot of misinformation out there. 1. Seeking asylum in U.S is a right 2. Most these migrants are here LEGALLY, they have A-numbers, meaning they’ve registered w/
@ICEgov
& are cleared to entry country
Dozens of migrants arriving in Denver, majority w/ A-numbers,are waiting near Auraria Campus with no food or water. Some have been here since Saturday—they say lines for city help are very long—no room in shelters.
