I’m so angry, broken, and scared. I’ve been trying for over a month to straighten my loans out. 2 weeks ago, after being on hold for 6 hours with my public loan service provider their offices closed so I hung up and sent them a message. Have not heard back. I’m fucked.

This is the reason I was on hold for 6 hours yesterday with my loan service provider with no answer!

It hasn’t even been a week and so much devastation. How is this country going to survive 4 years?

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.
