#Borrower Advocates: Help us spread the word to borrowers that they can predict their monthly student loan payment amount by using Loan Simulator. This tool helps borrowers find a repayment plan that works best for their current circumstances. https://t.co/VtCryjoffj

@irishthicc Yikes. I’m surprised the meeting registration fee is ONLY $135. These conferences are insane. There’s no reason for these costs to be this way. Senior academics rarely think about it that way and think of it in terms of a mini vacation many times; it prices out many students.

I am a trans man. My biology will always show I was born female, my sex is female(the whole point of “trans”), my GENDER IS MALE. I don’t care about the chromosomes, I don’t care what the archeologists say about my bones 500 years from now. I’m living my life as the man I am and that’s the ONLY thing that matters. My chromosomes are none of your business, my body parts and what I choose to do with them are none of your business. What is your business, is that I identify as male, so that’s how you may identify me, period

BIDEN: "My program is too expensive? ... The average amount forgiven in the PPP pandemic loan program, the average loan amount forgiven was $70,000. Now, a kid making $60,000 trying to pay back his bills, asking for $10,000 of relief? Come on. The hypocrisy is stunning."

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Affirmative action was never about admitting unqualified Black kids. It was always about ensuring qualified Black kids could also get accepted despite a world of systemic racism.

The “unqualified admission” you’re thinking of are legacy students—like how Kavanaugh got into Yale.

Our student debt relief plan would have provided over 40 million Americans with real breathing room as they recover from the pandemic.

Congressional Republicans had no problem with billions in pandemic-related loans to businesses.

Some even had their own loans forgiven.

@GuadalajaraGob hay algún registro civil abierto este fin de semana 3 y 4 de junio para tramitar actas de nacimiento?

Holy shit. This openly gay Republican just completely dismantled Missouri Republicans’ proposed Don’t Say Gay law. (h/t @HeartlandSignal)

@Edwin68989147 @usedgov Join the PSLF group on Facebook there are cases of forgivess almost every day through that program. Not rare case at all.

[Abraham Peña, PhD @penatalamantes]

@Erica__LV @usedgov This is part of the public service loan forgiveness program (PSLF). People who make 120 payments (= 10 year) and also work full time for a public service job like a school over the course of those 120 months (10 years). Has nothing to do with the loan forgivess in court by Biden

Most people who have PhDs didn’t think they had what it took to finish their PhDs.

@CryptoKaleo The display devices at Apple stores are not fully functioning devices. They have sample software to let people play with them in store. Good luck with them using them once they are outside. This move protects customers from harms way by pulling them back from the scene.

Always choose a supportive supervisor over university prestige.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

Loan repayments will resume 60 days after:
• ED is permitted to implement student loan debt relief; or
• The litigation is resolved.

If the litigation has not been resolved by June 30, 2023, student loan payments will resume 60 days later.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

BREAKING: ED has announced an extension of the pause on student loan repayment, interest, & collections as the Biden Admin asks the Supreme Court to review the lower-court orders preventing ED from providing debt relief for tens of millions of Americans. https://t.co/AWOeuk4EQQ

@OskrCA21 @abpena Ay amor… o sea, no pensé que querías así una foto súper como sexy de “ohh me pescaron desprevenido pero hermoso” ….yo me tome la selfie y allá andabas atrás…sin darte cuenta. Jaja

[Abraham Peña, PhD @penatalamantes]

@towers_elise @N_IAm_ @usedgov @POTUS @SecCardona This doesn’t make sense. getting PSLF applied first means your TOTAL balance is forgiven. So why would you then need the extra 10-20k when you would have a 0 balance?

Que que!?!? Cangrejos voladores!

I didn't know they could do that .
