I hope EVERYONE knows they won't be getting ANY loan forgiveness. The whole work in civil service and get forgiveness is a myth and won't be happening.
allegedly ice is getting the loan forgiveness, but you have to be in it so long , i doub they are actually following through with it. i highly suspect those who are employed by ice will be immediately rejected by employers when shit hits the fan and they are all let go one way or another.
Ice members do
Correction: They think they do.
Trump grifts everyone including his most loyal loyalists
he said they were the easiest grift from.
Remember that time when the Trump campaign accounted for like 5% of ALL credit card fraud claims in the USA, for charging his supporters a monthly campaign donation when they thought they were doing a one-time donation?
As if ice members have student loans. Most dropped out of elementary as soon as truancy laws did not apply to them any longer.
I mean, it's literally been happening for years... I think they are going to try to do away with it entirely, but I think it's relatively difficult for them to do at the moment. Though I guess this tactic of excluding agencies and organizations that go against the "administration's interests " or whatever, might work if they keep expanding it..
But for the moment, it's literally still happening right now, and people are having their loans irrevocably forgiven.
Yeah, okay it’s bad and we 100% knew they were going to do things like this but Harris could have been interpreted to be transphobic, so. That’s why we had to have this, apparently.
Sometimes I wonder what happened to the Gays for Trump crowd. I hope some have changed course. But the ones I’ve been able to look in on seem to be caught in the denial step.
I was a high profile gay because I came out in school and they nearly killed me. Won the Mathew Shepard scholarship. Somehow since then my mom has drifted so rightward, she's supporting these assholes now. She told me she's a "member of the log cabin republicans" which is when I told her she's no longer welcome in queer spaces, and cut her off.
She used to be pro-choice. When Roe fell, she said "maybe that's a good thing." I'm 100% sure she'll say the same when Obergefell goes. Maybe Lawrence too. Walking back her rights, her son's rights is OK as long as brown people are getting hurt.
On X, they’re all just saying this is happening because of trans people.
Every time you think you know how dumb people are, they surprise you. And not in a good way.
I need a trumper to explain to me how this isn’t discriminatory. Explain to me like I’m as mentally challenged as your average maga cultist.
I admittedly stalk the r/conservative and r/republican subreddits.
1% is like "let's not do what the democrats were trying to do to us.. we're better!", 60% is like "yeah take that. Now you know what it feels like!". The rest just post "Thank you President Trump!"
What on god's green earth makes you think trumpers want non-discriminatory policies?
It is discriminatory. And that's how Trumpers like it. The greatness the MAGA movement wants to return the country to is Jim Crow, segregation, child labor, etc.
They want you back in the mines with no PPE or health plan. You are expected to work until you're no longer useful, and then immediately die.
Likely they'll say it's to "pay back for DEI".
So, affirmative action for the straights, guess MAGA no longer thinks AA is discriminatory lol
But it is supposed to be discriminatory.
It is discriminatory, and that's the point. He wants to see if he can get away with this, and when he does (because we all know SCOTUS will give him their blessing), he'll move on to people who have the "wrong" choice of religious preference, the "wrong" political beliefs, and the "wrong" immutable characteristics.
That's a protected class. What the fuck?
My first reaction was also that it seems like an easy win in court. I hope that’s true
Once you get to the SC they'll just roll ever for Trump
"Not anymore."
Kiss civil rights goodbye we’re in the turd Reich now
What a piece of shit
I've always found it creepy that job descriptions ask you to mention irrelevant details on job application pages like this
Those things originally were to help prevent discrimination through thr actions of thr EEOC. Under this administration though nothing is sacred.
It's a double edged sword, what is supposed to help you can also be used to hurt you. Remember the Nazis used census data to find Jewish people
If he wants to fuck gay people so bad he could just ask nicely
Republicans don't even speak English anymore. They speak ragebait. Congratulations if you managed to get through that entire first quote without clicking away.
"You're gay, you don't get loan forgiveness."
"I'm not gay."
"Prove it."
"Prove it? How?"
"Doesn't matter, everybody's gay, nobody gets loan forgiveness."
As I read the headline, it's sounds like they are removing LGBTQ organization from the list of places you can work to get loan forgiveness...
So they wont deny your loan forgiveness if you are gay, just if you work for a place that has a mission to help gay people.
Still fucking disgusting, because I would bet that there are christian organizations that still get forgiveness.
How would they prove a person's sexual preference?
Donald Trump’s Education Department (ED) released a new rule to deny student loan forgiveness to people who work for LGBTQ+ organizations.
It is based on the nonprofit they work for, not their gender expression/sexuality. So, basically the administration can just decide if he doesn't like the organization you work for, you're screwed. Obviously wrong and messed up.
BTW that is the first sentence of the article. Seems like the people replying to you didn't read it either.
djt Admin over morning coffee: What could we do today to try making them hate us?
