The AI industry continues to spy on people, take jobs, drive up rent, deny healthcare, and now it's driving up the cost of electronics. PC RAM prices are outrageous... Link: gizmodo.com/ram-prices-going…

High winds and rapidly spreading fires evident on satellite/radar near #SantaMonica #Altadena. Evacuate asap if anywhere near the #SouthernCaliforniaWildfires areas. Extremely dangerous situation. There is an ongoing insurance crisis directly related to climate change. Stay safe!

A major hurricane is forecasted to hit Florida sometime Wed/Thur this week. It may prompt the largest evacuation since 2017. We expect flooding, storm surges, tornadoes, and widespread power outages. Be prepared for #HurricaneMilton #StPetersburg #tampa - Meteorologist Ben Alonzo

Central Florida, take #HurricaneMilton seriously. It is expected to be a major hurricane as it approaches the FL Gulf Coast by early Wednesday. Landfall Wed/Thur. Be ready for flooding, damage, tornadoes, power outages. #flwx #tampa #orlando We already have an insurance crisis.

I submitted a strategic plan to address the student loan debt crisis to multiple members of Congress & the Dept of Education. We have a snowballing financial emergency for millions and a national security threat because student debt contributes to shortages in critical areas.🧵

Joe Biden should acknowledge student debt contributes to a national security emergency shortage of doctors, educators, etc. He has authority to act on national security & use Higher Ed Act/Executive Order to cancel all student debt now before he leaves. 40 million are waiting!

If you support educators, demand @JoeBiden honor his campaign promise and immediately use EO/HEA and a national security emergency doctor/educator shortage to eliminate all student debt/avoid SCOTUS. No more crumbs/delays. 40 million waited his entire term for relief... rt
21 Jul 2024
Mr. President, honor your campaign promise to eliminate all student debt for people <$125k/yr before you leave. We have an educator/doctor shortage (emergency nat sec issue). You have the authority also via EO/HEA. 40 million waiting! @POTUS @SecCardona x.com/benbiotic/status/17911…

Tropical Storm Debby brings flooding and tornado risk to much of Florida. Stay off the roads if you can and stay tuned to nhc.noaa.gov/ for the latest #Debby updates!

Much of Florida is under a Tornado Watch until 8pm ET due to Tropical Storm Debby. These are usually quick to form and hard to warn for so be aware! #flwx #Debby nhc.noaa.gov/

If you're dealing with the global CrowdStrike outage, see below (Professor Alonzo) for a possible temporary solution. You should have your IT expert do this/do at your own risk. This is now being reported as a fix by Forbes and others as well: forbes.com/sites/kateoflaher…

The majority of people with student debt are not "Ivy League". This is misleading and directly hurts millions of educators/the entire public service sector. Student debt shouldn't exist, it hurts average Americans. We have emergency doctor/educator shortages b/c of student debt.

HUGE IT MESS: Businesses all over the world dealing with W10 BSODs... Contact your system admin. There seems to be a command line workaround but I don't recommend this unless you're guided by an IT expert. A temporary fix involves renaming Crowdstrike System32 folder before boot.
Something super weird happening right now: just been called by several totally different media outlets in the last few minutes, all with Windows machines suddenly BSoD’ing (Blue Screen of Death). Anyone else seen this? Seems to be entering recovery mode:

Warmer sea surface temperatures (record) will increase the chances of rapid intensification of hurricanes, which spells trouble because of the existing national housing and insurance crisis, including outdated infrastructure. Be prepared! nhc.noaa.gov #Beryl

The ocean has a fever. We will all feel this, at some point. Warmer SSTs will lead to RI of tropical cyclones more often than before. We still have a long way to go for the Atlantic basin hurricane season. #flwx #Beryl

Nearly every case of unnecessary American suffering (e.g., no affordable housing, medical debt, student debt, dirty air/water, low wages) is a direct result of policymakers ignoring experts/science, putting profit over people. Prepare for more cancer, dirty air and water.

Hurricane Beryl on satellite... moving west at 20 mph, located east of the Windward Islands (expected to arrive there Monday)... always keep an eye on activity. And don't forget Florida's insurance and affordable housing crisis. We've got a whole season to make it through. #flwx

Biden: "I'm going to eliminate your student debt" if you are "making less than $125,000" and "went to a public university", Biden said during his campaign... Never to be mentioned again/even proposed. His website is empty of an agenda and his promises have been erased.

44 mil are waiting on Biden. Biden promised to eliminate *all* student debt for people <$125k/yr. He's been in Congress since 70s, knows how, could have day1 via EO/HEA but didn't. We still have teachers with $400k debt, cancel it all already! Receipts: x.com/benbiotic/status/17327…

Student loan debt can't be included in bankruptcy. Joe Biden must enable bankruptcy consumer protections for student debt immediately, instead of ignoring it. He's also ignored his campaign promise to "eliminate" all student debt for people making <$125k/yr . Receipts:

Remove student debt from credit reports/mortgage decisions. Biden should do what he promised during his campaign (cancel student debt for people <$125k/yr). He's been in Congress since 70s/knows how... so why not both student debt & medical debt? Receipts x.com/benbiotic/status/17911…

BREAKING: The Biden administration is eliminating medical debt from Americans' credit reports.
A new CFPB rule will remove $49 billion in medical bills from the reports of 15 million Americans.
This would help credit scores rise and lead to 20,000 new mortgages each year.
