🧵This thread is for those whom never had to deal w/ crippling student loan debt & may not understand why many need help. I'm glad there are folks whom had scholarships, grants, family help, wealth, etc & paid off or have zero school debt. 1/ #studentloanforgiveness
I worked 30 hrs/wk while full-time in the Architecture program (@virginia_tech) which frowned upon having a job due to our demanding work loads/hrs. I'm not bitter about working, I'm just stating I worked hard (like many others,) yet I still have crippling student loan debt. 2/

I wanted to post some thoughts on the @MaryWash debate last night between @QasimRashid and @RobWittman in the 1st congressional district here in VA. I have been a resident of this district since 2003 & this is truly an election like no other for this district & our country. 1/

I've been heartbroken over the passing of judicial icon #RBG for her body of work, persistence and strength. It pains me how one #SCOTUS vacancy can dramatically affect millions including myself. 1/#SCOTUS will hear arguments beginning Nov 10th over the fate of the #ACA. The #GOP had 2 years of complete branch control to draft their healthcare legislation only for it to fail. The end of the ACA with no plan to replace it will allow for companies to do what they please. 2/
Overhead convo at #Fredericksburg#VA#PostOffice:
Customer: Where is everyone?
Clerk: Honestly, they're all quitting.
Customer: What about the supervisor? Can I talk to him?
Clerk: The supers are out delivering mail. Nobody's here. That's how short we are. It's bad. #SaveTheUSPS
A customer in line with me witnesses this conversation turned to me and said:
"My neighbor has been waiting for her social security check and her heart meds for weeks. I don't know how to help." #SaveTheUSPS

He is declaring war against the citizens of the United States. What the fuck?!

To the folks that believe there are "ballot farms" & massive vote by mail fraud, these are the steps to request & use a mail in ballot in VA. Things req'd: SSN & DL/ID number. One person. One ballot. Same as in person.
My ballot arrived within a few days. VA has waived the witness signature due to #COVID for the June primary.

Listening to Dr Ford's testimony and her recount of the assault had me in tears at my desk today. Those who wonder how she cannot remember certain details but has clarity on others, hear me out... #IAmASurvivor#MeToo
I can remember the bedroom location just to the right of the second floor bathroom. #IAmASurvivor
