Frogs!
My poem, 1/2
Frogs! Frogs! The frogs are everywhere!
We see them at the courthouse!
We see them at the fair!
Some are wearing t-shirts.
(Some are just plain bare!)
Yet each and every one of them gives the world a dare.

We need Congress to pass a law declaring that all these jobs be considered as 'professional,' especially for the purpose of student loan considerations.

They've been doing this for decades. The very day their patent expires they start telling you you have to switch to the new time-release version of your regular medication that now costs ten times as much. And people mostly take what their doctors prescribe.
This is the kind of stuff that really radicalizes me and should infuriate any decent person: Big Pharma’s abuse of the patent system.
I know this sounds naive, but something has got to change… there’s no constituency for Big Pharma!
And no one, except for the lobbyists, wants higher drug prices.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.
And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

People think tyrants rage because they're strong.
But the truth is they only rage when they know the room will absorb it.
Mamdani didn't absorb it.
So Trump didn't rage.
Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism.
Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man.
