A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

It's obvious: the Dept of Ed said nursing is not a "professional career." Why? To exclude graduate nursing programs from federal loans, in the midst of a nursing shortage, in a profession held mostly by women and minorities. Catching on yet??

In a win for polluters, the Trump regime proposed a rule to limit the EPA’s authority to regulate pollution in wetlands and waterways. This would strip federal protections from 55 million acres of wetlands (85% of all wetlands nationwide!), threatening lots of people's drinking water.
