Debt Collective members, mostly in their 60s and 70s, are begging Biden and the Secretary of Education to cancel their student loans before it's too late. These folks have more than paid off the original principal, but they remain stuck in a debt trap. Listen to some of their stories here 👇🏽
These women paid off their student debt for decades and somehow still owe more than they borrowed.
But a little-known provision gives Joe Biden the authority to cancel student debt for aging borrowers — and they’re calling on him to use it.

People aren’t moving here from twitter because they want an echo chamber. People are moving here from twitter because posting on twitter is unpaid labor for the richest man in the world, who uses the value he extracts from that labor to do extremely bad things. Think of it as a strike.

Does a 0.01 ratio make me extremely sane
the bsky insanity index is the number of followers you have on bluesky divided by your peak follower count on twitter. a ratio of greater than 3.0 has been shown to cause severe brain damage

Very excited to announce something we've been working on for awhile: A Field Guide to Police Surveillance. It's a one-stop-shop to teach you all the basic things you need to know about the 16 most common types/categories of surveillance local PDs use plus news, analysis, and resources.

Hi again! I disappeared from Twitter a few years ago now but I'm happy to see some old mutuals here. I'm still teaching at UBC, mostly intro writing courses with feminist angles.
