    I hope EVERYONE knows they won’t be getting ANY loan forgiveness. The whole work in civil service and get forgiveness is a myth and won’t be happening.

      allegedly ice is getting the loan forgiveness, but you have to be in it so long , i doub they are actually following through with it. i highly suspect those who are employed by ice will be immediately rejected by employers when shit hits the fan and they are all let go one way or another.

      I mean, it’s literally been happening for years… I think they are going to try to do away with it entirely, but I think it’s relatively difficult for them to do at the moment. Though I guess this tactic of excluding agencies and organizations that go against the "administration’s interests " or whatever, might work if they keep expanding it…

      But for the moment, it’s literally still happening right now, and people are having their loans irrevocably forgiven.

    Sometimes I wonder what happened to the Gays for Trump crowd. I hope some have changed course. But the ones I’ve been able to look in on seem to be caught in the denial step.

      I was a high profile gay because I came out in school and they nearly killed me. Won the Mathew Shepard scholarship. Somehow since then my mom has drifted so rightward, she’s supporting these assholes now. She told me she’s a “member of the log cabin republicans” which is when I told her she’s no longer welcome in queer spaces, and cut her off.

      She used to be pro-choice. When Roe fell, she said “maybe that’s a good thing.” I’m 100% sure she’ll say the same when Obergefell goes. Maybe Lawrence too. Walking back her rights, her son’s rights is OK as long as brown people are getting hurt.

        The activist Rain Dove has been able to distribute aid directly to Palestinian refugees while presenting as openly queer, and did not have a negative experience. Yes there is significant stigma and suppression in that part of the world —but this is not unique to the Middle East. LGBT folks are unfortunately familiar with a certain degree of hatred against them, regardless of where they live. What matters, the common theme, is that they recognize mutual dehumanization, and have empathy and a desire to change that.

      I admittedly stalk the r/conservative and r/republican subreddits.

      1% is like “let’s not do what the democrats were trying to do to us… we’re better!”, 60% is like “yeah take that. Now you know what it feels like!”. The rest just post “Thank you President Trump!”

      It is discriminatory. And that’s how Trumpers like it. The greatness the MAGA movement wants to return the country to is Jim Crow, segregation, child labor, etc.

      They want you back in the mines with no PPE or health plan. You are expected to work until you’re no longer useful, and then immediately die.

      It is discriminatory, and that’s the point. He wants to see if he can get away with this, and when he does (because we all know SCOTUS will give him their blessing), he’ll move on to people who have the “wrong” choice of religious preference, the “wrong” political beliefs, and the “wrong” immutable characteristics.

        It’s all moving toward prohibiting gay and interracial marriage. That’s the ultimate goal. You are only allowed to fuck who they allow you to fuck.

      Those things originally were to help prevent discrimination through thr actions of thr EEOC. Under this administration though nothing is sacred.

        I am a gazorpazorpian and I don’t think that people should lie about their identity. If someone claimed to be from Gazorpazorp without actually being from there, I would be very irritated with that.

        Bingo.
        It’s the permission and forgiveness thing. I can’t remember the exact wording exactly but it goes something like:
        why ask for permission when you can just say “fuck your forgiveness, I’m going to rape you anyways. And no fucker will stop me because they are alla bunch of fucking cowards!” Again, I’m unsure of the wording but this is basically what the orange child rapist has been doing things for decades now.

      Donald Trump’s Education Department (ED) released a new rule to deny student loan forgiveness to people who work for LGBTQ+ organizations.

      It is based on the nonprofit they work for, not their gender expression/sexuality. So, basically the administration can just decide if he doesn’t like the organization you work for, you’re screwed. Obviously wrong and messed up.

      BTW that is the first sentence of the article. Seems like the people replying to you didn’t read it either.

    “You’re gay, you don’t get loan forgiveness.”

    “I’m not gay.”

    “Prove it.”

    “Prove it? How?”

    “Doesn’t matter, everybody’s gay, nobody gets loan forgiveness.”

      As I read the headline, it’s sounds like they are removing LGBTQ organization from the list of places you can work to get loan forgiveness…

      So they wont deny your loan forgiveness if you are gay, just if you work for a place that has a mission to help gay people.

      Still fucking disgusting, because I would bet that there are christian organizations that still get forgiveness.

    Moments like this are why people like me who are educated either want to leave the US or exit out of society entirely.
