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 fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

There is so much happening in Little Village this morning. Another vid Alderman Sigcho Lopez posted from 26th and Sawyer a short while ago. Large presence of federal agents and CPD. His video caption says that ICE tried to kidnap an 11-year old.

Earlier today in Gresham, Oregon (a suburb just outside of Portland), a US citizen was detained by ICE after taking photos of their unmarked vehicles. US Gestapo smashed the persons car windows before detaining them. They have since been released.
