As Biden attempts to appropriate #MLKDay, remember that he continued to fight against desegregation for years after MLK was assassinated. Even former KKK leader Robert Byrd thought he went too far. 1/3
Biden, the white moderate MLK warned about, consistently sided with his fellow segregationists against progress. 2/3
Instead of apologizing, Biden lies about participating in the civil rights movement that he actively worked to suppress. He previously admitted this isn't true, yet he still says it. 3/3

THREAD: Student debt is a racial justice issue.

To oppose FULL cancellation is to support preserving the racist wealth gap between black and white Americans. 🧵 1/6 Image
Tuition fees were added to colleges and universities that used to be free specifically to keep nonwhite students down and out. And it's worked! 2/6 Image
The facts are clear - Black and Hispanic students are more likely than white students to:

💸 Need to take out loans
💸 Default on those loans
💸 Have debt
💸 Have a higher amount of debt

THREAD: Today marks 200 days since Biden became President. Here is every promise he has broken so far. 1/
Biden promised he would send a third stimulus check equal to $2,000.

Instead, he only sent $1,400, and to 17 million fewer Americans than received Trump's relief. 2/ ImageImage
Biden promised to partially forgive student debt.

Instead, he defended Betsy DeVos in court against forgiving loans for students she cheated. He did cancel $3 billion total, but let the overall debt increase by another ~$40 billion in that same time. 3/ ImageImageImageImage

You can argue his presidency’s the “less evil” thus far, but “Biden is even worse than Trump” should not be a controversial statement.

Biden has literally bombed, jailed, and deported hundreds of thousands more people than Trump in his career. It’s just a fact.
This tweet might hold our record for the most Biden Bros telling on themselves in the replies.

If your political engagement consists entirely of following Brooklyn Dad since 2016, just say that!
THREAD: I’m seeing requests to elaborate on the fact that Biden has bombed, jailed, and deported more people than Trump in his career, so here is a very brief overview. Image

🍦 LISTEN UP, JACK 🍦

Today is Joe Biden's 100th day as President with a majority in both the House and Senate.

Here is the most comprehensive thread on how, like Trump, he has failed us thus far. ⤵️ 1/
Despite being dragged into office on the back of last summer's protests led by black activists, Biden has largely ignored #BlackLivesMatter and their policy demands since their inauguration. 2/
Biden, who oversaw the militarization of our police as VP, promised very minor reform by executive order in week one. It never came.

Instead, he's now transferring even more weapons to cops at a faster rate than Trump had been. 3/

To celebrate 4/20, here is a thread on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' record on the War on Drugs, and what they can do now to repair the damage they've caused.

Biden once said, “Whenever people hear the words ‘drugs’ and ‘crime,’ I want them to think ‘Joe Biden.’” Here's why. 1/
Biden worked with leading segregationist Strom Thurmond to architect the disastrous War on Drugs, creating:

- the racist disparity between crack and cocaine
- mandatory sentencing
- cancellation of parole and reduction of sentences for good behavior

harpers.org/archive/2019/0… 2/
Biden spearheaded the effort to brand the Democratic Party as "tough on crime" like drug use by enacting crueler sentencing.

Watch as he gloats about expanding the (racistly-applied) death penalty to cover 53 offenses, including convictions of drug dealing and homicide. 3/
