Folks, this is VERY important. This means that there will be a decrease of nurses in the field and their access to student loans will be severely restricted. There is already a serious shortage of nurses, this is only going to make it worse. Nurses are the backbone of healthcare.

Your Thanksgiving gravy tastes better when you use union mushrooms. Let's give a huge thanks to workers like "Adan" who harvest mushrooms for Monterey Mushrooms under a UFW contract. On an average day, he picks 240-280 of the blue baskets you see in this vid. #WeFeedYou

How many times exactly does Trump have to hand billions to rich people or destroy the safety net before the media stops calling him a populist?

This is it. One of the core components of the current Republican project is closing doors and eliminating access for those they consider undeserving. It’s not just eliminating immigration but for white folk, it’s cutting off access to resources and education for everyone but rich white Republicans.

Yeah, my understanding is that a couple of M4L school board candidates also won in Leavenworth, KS.

Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter Clifford “Buzz” Grambo patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe—and make federal agents uncomfortable.

Cw: suicide
This article is devastating.

Earlier this month, a 15-year-old died by suicide the day after posting about a substitute teacher insisting on misgendering him.

Suicide can have many contributing factors. His family is speaking out about bullying and misgendering as two.

Can we not forget that his friend, the racist who constantly put the lives of teachers in danger, was not murdered by ‘the left’ or ‘the leftist movement.’ Vance is a liar, who knows he lies, and he thinks people are too stupid, and our media too in the bag, to do anything about it.

Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with 'suspicious' travel patterns The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious.

I just wrapped up two projects with students working on automated license plate reader tech in the context of abortion and this is still more dystopian and horrific than anything we uncovered.

The US is now a surveillance state with border patrol as the Gestapo.

SO excited that my friend Jennifer Day is running for Kansas Secretary of State! She really is someone who is passionate about voting and has done elections work for years, locally. (Also, she thinks women should vote! 🤔)

Check out her video & watch to the end to catch a spectacular Kansas sunset!

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Do you know who is paying for Trump’s ballroom?

Amazon
Google
Apple
Meta

And a bunch of other companies that coincidentally have business in front of the Trump Administration right now.

So are these companies getting special favors in return? I’m pressing for answers.

Does she think the US does this for funsies? The parents of Chinese students (used to?) send their kids here and pay full tuition, subsidizing poor American kids like me. If neither foreigners nor our gvmt pays for college, who does?

Likewise, visas are a moneymaker for the US gvmt:

Immigration arrests surge in Hawaii as federal agents target courthouses Advocates and legal experts say many arrests are happening quietly, often when immigrants show up at state courts.

Immigration raids in Hawaiʻi are especially ironic since the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was illegally overthrown and the Hawaiian Islands annexed by the United States against the will of the people.

Border Patrol and ICE are currently arresting and stealing our community members off the streets in Charlotte. Donald Trump is single-handedly responsible for this heinous actions. PLEASE report any activity you see. And know that our party stand with ALL immigrant communities.

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

What Democrats want: a plaque in the U.S. Capitol to honor the January 6 officers.

What Republican senators want: a personal payout of millions of dollars because they were investigated for involvement in January 6.

OTD in 2019, a 16-year-old used a ghost gun to kill Gracie Anne Muehlberger and Dominic Blackwell, and injure 3 others at Saugus High School in CA.

We're sick and tired of going to vigils for our friends & classmates. We must protect regulations on ghost guns and take action to end gun violence.

For every surveillance state to function, there must be a critical mass of people who willingly act as snitches to further the regime's ideology.

I lived through this firsthand, money isn't the motivating factor for these people, it's the satisfaction of seeing people they hate suffer

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.
