The Palestinian death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has surpassed 74,000. While this figure represents the official death toll as confirmed by local authorities, the true number could be much higher. “The [ceasefire] plan ended up just buying more time for the genocide,” says Muhammad Shehada.

For nearly two months, Palestinians in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood had access to water at any time — a welcome sense of stability in the depths of a genocidal war. On Aug. 24, that stability was disrupted by an Israeli airstrike that destroyed the newly built water desalination plant.

Say you don't have to leave the SAVE plan by December 31. You essentially have three more months of non-payment. But then you see your *Attorney's General* tweet accurate information. So you leave the plan and start making payments months early.

Will they extend it again? We don't know. Will they honor the 1% interest rate reduction? We don't know. Was this a ploy to get people out of SAVE and onto other repayment plans? You should decide. But what is clear is student debtors cannot actually expect clear information.

What this means is student debtors who could have stayed on the SAVE plan and been in a forbearance — with no payment due — were tricked into leave the SAVE plan *earlier than they needed to* in order to get a lower interest rate. But now that deadline is December 31st.

The Department of Education has been incentivizing people to switch out of the SAVE plan and onto a more expensive plan. They said they would reduce your interest rate by 1% if you enroll in autopay by Sep 30th. But they just extended the deadline to Dec 31. This was a trick.
