Purity politics is the Achilles heel of the left.

This will probably lose me some followers. Good. If you're still spending every day preaching that 'well kamala would have done a genocide,' you are most likely not looking at what is actually happening in Gaza right now as a result of Trump. You're ignoring the genocide we're doing to immigrants.

460K student loan borrowers to be denied repayment plan Those borrowers make up about 31 percent of the 1.5 million backlog for income-driven repayment applications.
