I remember the time I turned Black… It was the summer of 1998, and I was spending the break with my cousins in Long Beach, CA and California Love came on the radio. It was then they taught me to crip walk, and right there in that moment, is when I turned Black.
I'm half Colombian, but for the purposes of this panel I was black. Talking about Trump's NABJ comments and their implications on the election with @Bakari_Sellers and @MrShermichael:

As Democrats, we've spent so much time on the defensive we're losing touch with average citizens.

Governor Abbott, if you have any decency, you will immediately withdraw from this weekend’s NRA convention and urge them to hold it anywhere but Texas.

This narrative that the majority of us complaining about student loan debt attended Ivy League institutions is also TIRED. It’s just not true. 0.3% of federal student borrowers attended Ivy League colleges, according to an estimate by higher education expert @mkant.

“Black and African American student borrowers are the most likely to struggle financially due to student loan debt, with 29% making monthly payments of $350 or more.” - @edudataorg But, please continue to go off about how student debt relief is an issue of white privilege.🤦🏾♀️

This shit is sick. This shouldn’t even be necessary. Why is this country like this?
JUST IN: An arena in South Dakota is holding a “Dash for Cash” where teachers get on their knees and fight for one dollar bills that they can use for classroom supplies while spectators watch and cheer. (h/t @AnnieTodd96)

Resuming student loan payments on Feb. 1 would cost families $85 billion that would otherwise be spent on things like food, rent & other essentials. That is unconscionable. @POTUS must #CancelStudentDebt before it's too late.
commondreams.org
"The cancellation of up to $50,000 of student debt would relieve an enormous burden from borrowers while pumping billions of dollars per year back into our national economy."

What she said.
A note to Democrats who blame progressives after losing an election: Forcing millions to start paying student loans again and cutting off the Child Tax Credit at the start of an election year is not a winning strategy. We're warning you now, don't point fingers in November.
