We joined AFT to urge U.S. Department of Education to “suspend all monthly payments, interest charges, & debt collection for all student loan borrowers across the student loan system” in response to the SAVE rulings.

'The Debt Collective is about transforming society’s response to indebtedness by revealing the power borrowers and their allies have in solidarity. The debts people carry in silence can be used collectively to demand access to public goods like housing, healthcare, and education.

I hate that this is true.

If Biden wants to do one neat-little-trick leading up to the November election, he could always just pause student loan payments again. Just an idea.

The Debt Collective 🟥 I just got a notice telling me that 3 of my loans qualified for a rebate. A) those 3 loans have already been paid off B) rebate amount was $0. C) WTF?!? Also got a notice about forbearance, again WTF??

Ok here's a concept: Wife Swap but with municipal budgets.
librarians get cop budgets for a year and we see what can be done

That's right! 💪

We are just 1 hour away from this awesome event and are ecstatic to join our partners at Supermajority & The Debt Collective 🟥 to discuss our new research.

Spoiler alert: Student debt cancellation remains incredibly popular among women voters! Join us to learn more!

What the hell is wrong with people? Like how are you so warped that helping the poor drives you to sue?

The bureaucracy of the student debt system will radicalize you because none of the shenanigans need to exist. None of it would exist if we just funded college for all.

BREAKING 🇧🇴 Bolivia’s trade union confederation COB has called for an emergency mass mobilization and a general strike in response to the ongoing coup attempt.

The status quo of student loan servicing was already an epic shitshow. The new SAVE injunctions make it impossible.

The only way to protect borrowers it to shut the system down. The only question is whether Secretary Miguel Cardona will feed debtors to the woodchipper of this chaos or not.

Congress is like: we are passing this law authorizing the secretary to cancel student debt

SCOTUS is like: but Congress didn't say 'Simon says' so MQD

Saying the quiet part loud. The goal here is to make protest a crime. The speed at which there is a bipartisan lunge towards fascism is frightening. It's happening now, before Trump.

One of the more absurd consequences of Crabtree & Ross's rulings is that there is no backup IDR plan*.

SAVE replaced REPAYE. There's no more REPAYE. Every borrower on REPAYE (including everyone working towards PSLF) was forced into SAVE.

*no backup except to cancel it all.
