Agree. This is part of the problem. Right wing propaganda is easier to access than truthful reporting.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said β€œno one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

I'm not a quoter of scripture, but this seemed appropriate for the horror that has been unleashed because of the gutting of USAID.

Yep I was Sallie Mae, then Navient, and now Mohela, who is about to dump us again. The whole system is so borked, I've actually paid back the total $138k I borrowed over my multiple degrees and *still* owe $192k. PSLF is the only thing that's kept me sane, and I was to be done in Dec this year :(

I'd be down for this. My balance should have been forgiven this year but the forced SAVE forbearance and general incompetence of the current regime has set me back anithe 18 months. :(

kinda crazy how every single β€œjust give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh

Anyway, back to toiling

ER visit this morning $300 and prescription $100 *with insurance.*

I hate our healthcare system, and I got off easy because no ambulance, tests, anesthesia, or procedures. My European friends can't believe what I pay in health insurance monthly *and* the copays are still pretty steep.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpointβ€”smash car window on top of newborn baby.

"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.

β€œI covered my baby with my bodyβ€”I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

Please amplify this demand. We need y'all. I was there. We were not in the road. ICE simply let loose on us to film themselves brutalizing and arresting protestersβ€”and state police assisted them. They brought charges against scattered people to create a pretext for this inexcusable violence.

Yeah don't hold your breath for my GenZ students, they are either passionate Bible thumper Trumpers, or they are apathetic and politically unaware.

My money is on milennials. They have the money and youth. GenX support!

Doh it just mysteriously cleared, after three hours of that. Apparently the cure is complaining on social media about it haha.

Ugh I have that stupid thing going on where one ear sounds like I'm underwater and my whole last lecture today was like talking through my nose. I can't make it go away either..usually this is very temporary. I already had a zyrtec on board and just did some nasal spray but nothing. Driving me nuts.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.
