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 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.
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 canβt feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

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

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 protestersβand state police assisted them. They brought charges against scattered people to create a pretext for this inexcusable violence.
