Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never… pic.twitter.com/qXl2quZz1c

Harry Belafonte was a barrier-breaking legend who used his platform to lift others up. He lived a good life – transforming the arts while also standing up for civil rights. And he did it all with his signature smile and style. Michelle and I send our love to his wife, kids, and… pic.twitter.com/g77XCr9U5b

The people who need student loan forgiveness are not lazy. You actually can’t be lazy and survive in this country. Trust me I was scarily poor. You can only be lazy if you’re rich. That’s a rich people privilege.
— Dani Fernandez (@msdanifernandez) August 24, 2022
“They don’t wanna work!” I mean I don’t know if we were put on this planet to work BUT REGARDLESS whether folks want to or not, they HAVE to. Lower and middle class is a constant fight to not lose access to basic needs. One hospital visit can ruin your financial life.
— Dani Fernandez (@msdanifernandez) August 24, 2022
Poor people are the farthest things from lazy. It’s very telling that the hardest workers (service workers, janitorial workers keeping our buildings and cities livable, teachers etc etc) are the lowest paid jobs. Unlivable wages. Which is why they need multiple jobs
— Dani Fernandez (@msdanifernandez) August 24, 2022
Now there’s folks born into privilege and those who worked up to being wealthy (although this we could debate forever and also racially who has an easier time moving up out of poverty as they don’t face racial discriminatory obstacles in the financial world). BUT 👇🏽
— Dani Fernandez (@msdanifernandez) August 24, 2022
Those in the second group who say “I didn’t have anything handed to me!” Which again, debatable if you are more likely to have white alumni/resources/banks/employers willing to take a chance on you BUT, well the thing about the second group, which I find myself moving into, is 👇🏽
— Dani Fernandez (@msdanifernandez) August 24, 2022
You should remember how disgustingly difficult it was to survive when you were poor. How scarily hard it was to pull yourself out of a pit you thought you’d likely die in. I know what it feels like to need a miracle. I would never wish the fear and trauma I suffered, on anyone
— Dani Fernandez (@msdanifernandez) August 24, 2022
Because clearly it still needs to be said: Student loan forgiveness is not about irresponsible people taking out education loans and then not paying. These are compounding interest loans: borrowers are struggling because they pay many times OVER what they borrowed and still owe!
— Ida Bae Wells (@nhannahjones) August 25, 2022
Before I finally paid my student loans off TWO YWARS AGO at the age of 44, I had repaid my balance again and again. But the interest meant most of my payments didn't go to the loan debt but the interest and that interest kept accruing daily over 25 years.
— Ida Bae Wells (@nhannahjones) August 25, 2022
Also, government literally exists to further the common good and to help its citizens. Non-homeowners subsidize homeowners, non-business owners subsidize business owners, people w/o schoolchildren subsidize schools. Why is it politically expedient to think so little of each other

I’m joining these incredible moms to share a message—how important it is to get fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and get a booster, too.
