The GOP is threatening to tank the entire economy in the name of “fiscal responsibility.” What’s responsible about tanking the economy, exactly?

🧵Marjorie Taylor Greene’s words about Rep Bowman are a result of the exclusion of Black History being taught in schools Stating she doesn’t feel safe around a Black man is what a racist would say — it’s a line that has been used to justify the killing of Black men for centuries

George Floyd. Trayvon Martin. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. Jordan Neely. It’s white supremacy that’s killing us. I stand with Jamaal.

She’s not a victim. Full stop. This is the same playbook that perpetrators of police brutality and gun violence use to justify killing Black people. “I was afraid.” After they killed Michael Brown. After they killed Tamir Rice. After they killed Philando Castile.

Not only is MTG a white supremacist, her playbook isn’t even original and the response is all too predictable. By drawing a false equivalency between being called a white supremacist vs. the n-word, and claiming she feared Rep. Bowman, she’s making herself out to be a victim.

Slavery. Black codes. Jim Crow. Redlining. Mass incarceration. Every step of the way, Black Americans have been intentionally pushed back economically. A debt is owed. It’s time to pay that debt. It’s time for reparations.

Black women carry more student debt than any other group in America — and carry it the longest. It’s no coincidence that the GOP is standing in the way of canceling student debt.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz’s PPP loans can be canceled, we can cancel student debt.
