At what point do we rise up?
Tuition-free community college would have benefited thousands of Americans and cost $9.5 billion per year, yet was cut from BBB because we “can’t afford it.” Well, the new defense budget is $20 billion more than the President requested. So what can and can’t we afford?

this is so much bigger than that. when you have a medical mandate for all community college students, online or in person, there’s a submission of self to state that far exceeds the question of how you pay for that grave indignity. basic human rights. that’s what this is about.

We can rise up on issues such as this, but remember that we must always support the military industrial complex and foreign wars regardless of how many ppl of color are killed at the hand of the US govt and it's proxies. We will not tolerate dissent on this matter!

We rise up when we stop emphatically throwing our support behind corporate Dems like Beto O'Rourke for no reason before even seeing if any progs throw their hats in the ring, dummy

I'm 64 year's old. I've been warned: in February I'm going to receive my student loan bill. I'll have no money to spend on my local economy. That money will now go to the Government, while the local economy loses money. There's many people like me.

Rising up is inevitable; but the intersectionality of poor mental health accents country wide apathy. Denial comes in many forms.

This saddens me so much as a country. Our priorities are all out of whack.

the only way to get their attention is to DIVEST from the big banks that fund everything from wall street to climate change.
