I love this message.
If you're doubting if it's worth it to put yourself out there... Think of the impact you can make. Not only for yourself or your family but people you don't even know yet. Think about who you can motivate by starting NOW.

UPDATE: The Administration is extending the pause on federal student loan repayments to allow for the Supreme Court to rule in the case on the student debt relief program. The pause will end no later than June 30, 2023. Payments will resume 60 days after the pause ends.

Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that.

It's #BannedBooksWeek, and we're starting out with a rundown of action items everyone can take to fight censorship and support diverse banned books. Book bans and challenges have been at a historic high, and are only increasing. 🧵

As @levarburton told @TheView in June: "Read the books they’re banning. That’s where the good stuff is!” #BannedBooksWeek #FreeTheBooks
