Post from twitter last year explaining how student loans work:
—
Here’s the deal about student loans. They’re not “like all loans”. 🧵

1) Students usually don’t start payments until after graduating. Most loan types accrue interest during that time. 🧵1/

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

~“Fascism is a process of radicalization…thru coercion, mass mobilization & militarism. When conservatives talk about The Great Replacement, immigrants as invaders & internal enemies they’re explicitly echoing fascist talking pts & when they do it’s your responsibility to call them fascist.”

Ever heard right-wing voices toss around terms like ‘fascist’—words they truly have never learned the meanings of? I certainly have! I’ve often directed curious minds toward short, to-the-point books ...

AFL-CIO @aflcio.org · 21d

The federal government is shutting down because the Trump admin chose chaos and taking a swing at the Affordable Care Act over responsible governing.

Our message is clear: fund the government, fix the health care crisis and put working people first. aflcio.org/press/releas...

AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler issued the following statement after the federal government’s funding expired at midnight and a shutdown began:

The federal government is shutting down right now because President Trump and his administration chose chaos and pain over responsible governing. Now, countless jobs, the essential government services we all rely on and the economy powered by our workforce are in jeopardy—all because the administration wants to take one more swing at wrecking the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and throwing working people off our health care.

Hundreds of thousands of federal workers are being locked out and stand to lose the paychecks their families depend on. Federal contractors, including custodians and cafeteria workers, won’t have the assurance of back pay. It’s not Washington politicians who are at risk here—it’s working people just like us, more than 80% of whom live outside D.C. and 30% are veterans. These are the people who get our Social Security checks out on time, keep our food and water safe, care for our veterans, and protect us at airports and during natural disasters. Under the administration’s Project 2025/DOGE agenda, federal workers have been fired, rehired and fired again. They’ve been stripped of their collective bargaining rights and union contracts. Now, President Trump is shutting down the government, using federal workers as pawns and threatening to illegally fire them—all to avoid fixing the mounting health care cost crisis that will hurt millions of Americans.

The labor movement’s message to the administration is clear: Get to work. Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth.

It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.

And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

“Solidarity breeds courage.”

Yes, it does. That’s why they want us distracted, overwhelmed, and divided.

Scientists and researchers created vaccines to small pox, to polio, to Covid.

This just dropped on Friday. We are thiiiiiis close to an AIDS vaccine and these motherfuckers (excuse my language; I’m pissed) pull the plug.

This is an amoral administration with no empathy or compassion.

Antidepressants save women's lives—& they're safe.
So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms?

Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants?

We hear it a lot - people feel disillusioned after watching Congress pass a budget actively hostile to their voters and American values. But it's times like these it's most important to go to a rally and see that you are not alone. You are not isolated. You are part of a community that cares.
