RIGHT NOW - cops in front of Minnesota state Capitol have surrounded water proctors and their ceremonial tipi! There are hundreds of cops. They are threatening arrest. ALL EYES ON WATER PROTECTORS #StopLine3
This kind of police presence seems ridiculous. There are teenagers in there. What’s the point of this? Please keep your eyes on water protectors. It feels like shit is about to go down. #StopLine3
Wondering where Biden actually gets the authority to cancel student debt?
Follow along in this thread as we breakdown how @JoeBiden can cancel ALL student loan debt through executive action! #CancelStudentDebt
We are demanding @JoeBiden cancel ALL student loan debt.
Today, the total student loan debt number sits at $1.7 trillion. Over 45 million Americans owe student loans, and about 65% of recent college students graduate with some amount of student loan debt. This is a crisis.
You might ask, "where does @JoeBiden get the authority to cancel student loan debt?"
If you guessed The Higher Education Act of 1965 then you are correct! The Secretary of Education (part of executive branch- hi Joe!) has the authority to cancel student loans. #CancelStudentDebt
Want to learn more about @JoeBiden's pick for Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, and why it's necessary that we push Congress to reject her nomination?
First, she is the architect of drone warfare and the legal framework behind it. The guidelines for drone strikes allow for lethal action against those who are not "high value targets," without explaining the criteria the CIA would use to identify someone as an imminent threat
According to a CIA whistleblower, Haines regularly approved the drone bombings that killed not only suspected terrorists but entire families, including children, who died as collateral damage.
Also, she supported torture apologist for Gina Haspel for CIA director #RejectHaines
