Coincidence? I think not. More evidence of the blatant attack on women in American society. This is what the GOP/Project 2025 Pushers/Pedo Protectors DO! #StandUpForWomen #VoteBlue #Pinks
Imagine cutting off federal student loans for programs leading to careers overwhelmingly held by women.
Women make up:
• 80% of teaching assistants
• 81-84% of social workers
• 73-80% of counselors
• 79% of elementary/middle-school teachers
• 85% of special-ed teachers
• 92% of hairstylists/cosmetologists
• 93% of childcare workers
Yup, just a coincidence.

l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.

It was always easy for ICE to terrorize citizens as Miller describes. That's not the point. The point is that this is America—not the Third Reich—and ICE ISN'T TO BE USED THIS WAY. Anyone who can't understand and accept this was NEVER a fan of America, democracy, or rule of law.

CNN, MSNBC and Politico is Michael Velchik. In college, he wrote a Latin class essay from Hitler's point of view, so disturbing his instructor made him redo it. In 2013 he called Mein Kampf his favorite book he'd read that year and praised Hitler's grasp of propaganda without mentioning the Holocaust.
This is the man now arguing in federal court that the press has no right to White House access.
