Starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is set to send notices to 1,000 student loan borrowers (first round) noticing them of an intent to garnish their wages for student loan debt.
This is cruel and unnecessary.
If you receive a notice, send it to us and we'll try to help.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Working with Laine on this interview across some months has been one of the most valuable experiences of my long career. As a historian, they are able to make sense of many things that ...didn't make sense during the creative and political movements I participated in and wrote about since ~2007.

I think the key to this version of US imperialism is the interaction of 1 and 2 here
i think that people really underestimate reality that
1) administration has no doctrine, it is really about a single, mercurial, and half-awake man
2) the administration is a constantly churning system with factions that rise and fall contextually
3) might not have happened if trump tower caracas

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Kind of amazing how someone as dumb and unsophisticated as Trump is simply manages to perfectly crystalize US foreign policy this century. He's on Fox & Friends just straight up saying "yeah we're going to put our own guy in there and take the oil"

An administration driven by greed, cruelty, and frankly a sort of empty-hearted boredom. The death of innocents so they can beat their chests and line their already fat wallets.
Whatever comes next has to at least look like justice. We cannot just turn the page for the sake of one party’s comfort.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.
