Casual reminder that the myth of โ€œpulling yourself up by your bootstrapsโ€ 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.

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.

Theyโ€™re adding medical debt back onto credit reports.

Theyโ€™re going to garnish wages over student loans.

They promised to โ€œMake America Great Againโ€. To make it more affordable.

Instead theyโ€™re ensuring people suffer as much as possible.

Itโ€™s intentional. Ask yourselves why.

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.

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 ICEโ€™s operations in Colorado.

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)

I just started my master's program in May of this year for Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I don't know what I am going to do now.

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]

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

The Dept of Ed is going to remove โ€œprofessionalโ€ designation from historically female professions (Nursing, PA, Speech Therapist, etc)

Which will prevent women from getting student loans for these DEMANDING PROFESSIONS ๐Ÿ˜ก

20.11.2025 18:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Dept. of Ed is reclassifying all the female dominated professions (nurse, therapist, speech pathologist, PA) as not having โ€œprofessionalโ€ degrees, which makes it harder for them to get educational loans.

Another FUCKED UP thing this admin is doing to attack womenโ€™s power.

Take that shit to court!

Young Girls Were Sexually Abused by a Church Member. They Were Told to Forgive and Forget. In Minnesota, leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community enabled a child abuser by telling his victims that once the sins were โ€œwashed away in the blood of reconciliation,โ€ they could never...

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 childrenโ€™s safety is on the line.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?
