The documentary is about the 2023 shooting of Ajike Owens by her neighbour.
It quotes findings that 'Stand Your Ground laws have been linked to an 8% to 11% increase in homicide rates, or roughly 700 additional deaths each year.'

In the Holocaust, Nazis captured my grandpa’s sister Sheinale (Yiddish for "beautiful") & her family & executed them in a forest in Lithuania. Their bodies are in an unmarked forest grave.
In contrast, Covid vaccines saved an estimated 20 million lives in their 1st year of use.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

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.
Nursing has been excluded as a “professional degree” by the Trump administration as the Department of Education prepares to make massive cuts to providing students loans. Also excluded are NP’s, PA’s, PT’s. This comes when there as an extreme nursing shortage and $20K sign on bonuses for nurses. 😡

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.
If they devalue those degrees specific to the application of student aide availability, they lock people who weren't born into privilege—who can't pay for their own education—out of even being able to pursue those majors, ensuring they can never pursue the jobs that require those degrees.
