People are detached from the reality of what student loans are doing to our younger generations. A lot of people are deaf to it and simply offer a "well why don't you make a million dollars a year and pay it back?" Much of the right like to act like they're all the Monopoly guy where cash grows from trees.
I know full forgiveness seems extreme, but at a minimum, the interest should be removed (They've earned enough) or reduced DRAMATICALLY. A lot of the right seems to love blood sucking usury, but it is the death of a nation.
Tying non-binary to presentation is…
I’m never gonna give androgynous. I’m 6’4”, 200lbs, and got my daddy’s entire face. You take one look at me and you gonna know exactly what’s on my birth certificate.
I’m still nonbinary because the binary structure and socialization of…
I don't think we're talking enough about how this Big Dumb Ugly Bill expands ICE by a factor of 20. ($2.2B to $45B)
That's 20 times more agents. 20 times more arrests, plus illegal detention centers.
Trump is using the bill to create his own paramilitary gestapo.
@PopCrave this is just cruel. I get that the cruelty is the point but one day that cruelty will bite the republicans back in their ass hard. I hope Lia one day is able to reclaim her records and titles and accomplishments, I'm truly sorry this happened to you, Lia.
Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me.
His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard.
This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.
Today, the U.S. government handed me a passport that says “M” — even though my previous one said “F” and every document I’ve submitted says female.
I didn’t ask for a change. I was just replacing a lost passport.
Instead, they told me they updated the gender marker to “match their records” — records that I submitted, that are all legally female. When I said that having a document with incorrect information puts me in danger traveling internationally, I was denied escalation, refused further documentation, and sent out the door with paperwork and a pat on the head.
Now I’m being forced to choose between my safety and my career — between flying with a passport that outs me at every checkpoint, or canceling tens of thousands of dollars in international work I’m booked for.
This is what transphobia in policy looks like. Quiet. Calculated. And deadly.
They violated my First Amendment by erasing my identity.
They violated the Fourteenth by denying me equal protection.
They violated Bostock v. Clayton County by discriminating based on gender identity.
This isn’t a clerical error. This is a federal fumble with my life in the crosshairs.
And if they thought I’d carry this passport in silence?
They forgot who the fuck I am.
I’m not going down. I’m going public. I’m going legal.
And I’m dragging the system with me!
