It's already ILLEGAL for non-citizens to vote. This voter suppression bill—the "Save America Act"—solves a non-existent problem while disenfranchising millions of actual citizens. It's a lie from start to finish. #HandsOffHerVote

Meanwhile, the Trumps have made almost $4 billion since he took office again.
NBC News article. Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet. Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns. As America's economic divide widens, with the top 1% of households owning more than 30% of the country's wealth, the payments people receive for selling plasma are playing a quiet role in keeping households above water financially.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

They’re adding medical debt back onto credit reports. They’re going to garnish wages over student loans. They promised to “Make America Great Again”. To make it more affordable. Instead they’re ensuring people suffer as much as possible. It’s intentional. Ask yourselves why.

Wage garnishment for defaulted student loans to resume early next year
The Education Department had stopped collecting wages to repay defaulted loans during the coronavirus pandemic.

To all state law enforcement: ICE and other federal agencies are giving you a bad reputation. Remember, you work for and serve the people in your charge. Treat them as you want them to treat you... As for ICE, a bunch of want to be mall cops with a dictator in charge. Their reckoning will come.

The 66-page ruling Tuesday by Senior U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson of Colorado is a comprehensive rejection of a tactic regularly used by ICE to meet quotas set by the Trump administration. (via @cprnews.bsky.social)
n.pr
Court demands end to unjustified warrantless arrests, restricting a tool ICE frequently uses to detain immigrants
Unless reversed on appeal, it is likely to place a severe restriction on ICE’s operations in Colorado.

It's not just nursing; they're going after Physical Therapy. These degrees take years to earn, and they want to cap higher education loans for these professions. Spread this far and wide so Trumpers get angry too. #nursing #physicaltherapy

grocerystorefamous (kim dexter) - Trumps Department of Education just said nursing is no no longer a professional degree. Let's be real is about the fact that the field is mostly women and minorities.  [pic of nurses]

The Dept of Ed is going to remove “professional” designation from historically female professions (Nursing, PA, Speech Therapist, etc) Which will prevent women from getting student loans for these DEMANDING PROFESSIONS 😡

The U.S. Dept of Ed has proposed a change to its definition of "professional degrees" that would exclude many healthcare,etc, professions, limiting student loan access. This is a reclassification of the definition used for fed loan purposes, not a removal of the professions' overall prof status.

Dept. of Ed is reclassifying all the female dominated professions (nurse, therapist, speech pathologist, PA) as not having “professional” degrees, which makes it harder for them to get educational loans. Another FUCKED UP thing this admin is doing to attack women’s power. Take that shit to court!

Reading this story is gut-wrenching. A church coerced children into forgiving their abuser, ignored the law, and let him keep harming others. No religious institution should ever be trusted to police itself when children’s safety is on the line. www.propublica.org/article/sexu...
