What’s funny is that Biden is still forgiving student debt anyway — using statutory authority left intact by the Supreme Court’s obstruction of his original approach. After 25 years of mostly working at nonprofits, I just had my remaining balance canceled without even having to ask for relief.
Not a "gotta hand it to Biden" guy but if it was up to Biden he would have forgiven the debt. It was up to the conservative SCOTUS, which agreed with Republican AGs that he couldn't do it.

Congrats! By the way, if you do know anyone who is willing to "ASK" for relief, there is a great tool from @debtcollective.bsky.social that generates a letter to request relief under existing statutory authority. It takes less than 5 minutes. :)

How does one find this tool? Is there a website? Not seeing links from the bsky profile…

Hi Miri! You should be able to see it from the front page of debtcollective.org There should be a big blue box that says "Cancel Student Debt" and that will explain more.
Debt Collectivedebtcollective.org As the first union of debtors our aim is to abolish debts and advocate for a transformation in the way public goods and services are distributed.
