I once asked @chuh_charlie what his favorite marine animal was. He said, “First of all, the ocean is none of my business.” What relevant and prophetic life advice.
I suspect people in power not acting on climate change is a large-scale example of the bystander effect. With the responsibility divided among so many, it’s easier to not act and not feel like the destruction of the world is your fault.

I completed the student loan exit counseling today and this is a direct quote: “Unlike other forms of debt, such as credit cards and mortgages, federal loans are daily interest loans, which means that interest accumulates every day”
My question is why? #CancelStudentDebt
I paid off the remainder of my predatory af @Navient loan in a lump sum last year AND I’m still f*cking exuberant about the news of cancelation! A step in the right direction. #CancelStudentDebt #CancelStudentLoans
Why do student loans capitalize interest? I tried to Google it and nothing remotely answering that question came up. I want to know what went into that decision.

I took out $45k in fed student loans. I’ve paid $17.5k to date. My current outstanding balance? $47k. Make it make sense. Govt should not be making $ off graduates who needed financial support. Do something @POTUS! #CancelStudentDebt @AOC @KamalaHarris @DebtCrisisOrg – at Washington, DC
