I just think not caring about what happens to other people is gonna be the death of literally all of us if it’s not checked.

We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

This is very personal for me. I am this generation (I matriculated in 2013). I marched against tuition fees as a school student. I now lecture and research in UK HE.
It's not a loan. It's a tax, but one from which the rich can escape. It should be treated as a tax. Fairness requires more honesty.

"Those 18-year-olds – the first guinea pigs, the class who matriculated in 2012 – are now turning 31. And belatedly, the impact of the loans they were assured were a rock-solid investment in their futures is becoming apparent."

1/ Something which I don't think gets articulated clearly often enough is that a system where countries generally respect international sovereignty and territorial integrity is not pure charity or morality by the United States, but in its direct interests.

Yes, European and Canadian security has been tied to the US for all of our lifetimes, yes the business of detaching from it is going to be horrendous. But you don't make yourself safer by pretending an extinct security alliance is still working.

It's not that NATO will collapse if the US invades Greenland; NATO is already dead. The Trump admin could not have been clearer about that over the last year. They refer to NATO as if they're not part of it. They've been threatening at least 1 NATO ally since they took office.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.
