allegedly ice is getting the loan forgiveness, but you have to be in it so long , i doub they are actually following through with it. i highly suspect those who are employed by ice will be immediately rejected by employers when shit hits the fan and they are all let go one way or another.

Ice members do

I mean, it's literally been happening for years... I think they are going to try to do away with it entirely, but I think it's relatively difficult for them to do at the moment. Though I guess this tactic of excluding agencies and organizations that go against the "administration's interests " or whatever, might work if they keep expanding it..

But for the moment, it's literally still happening right now, and people are having their loans irrevocably forgiven.

I admittedly stalk the r/conservative and r/republican subreddits.

1% is like "let's not do what the democrats were trying to do to us.. we're better!", 60% is like "yeah take that. Now you know what it feels like!". The rest just post "Thank you President Trump!"

Likely they'll say it's to "pay back for DEI".

What on god's green earth makes you think trumpers want non-discriminatory policies?

It is discriminatory. And that's how Trumpers like it. The greatness the MAGA movement wants to return the country to is Jim Crow, segregation, child labor, etc.

They want you back in the mines with no PPE or health plan. You are expected to work until you're no longer useful, and then immediately die.

But it is supposed to be discriminatory.

It is discriminatory, and that's the point. He wants to see if he can get away with this, and when he does (because we all know SCOTUS will give him their blessing), he'll move on to people who have the "wrong" choice of religious preference, the "wrong" political beliefs, and the "wrong" immutable characteristics.

"It's not discriminatory, you're discriminatory."

Unassailable logic.

My first reaction was also that it seems like an easy win in court. I hope that’s true

"Not anymore."

Yeah, they're protecting us from that class of gays. Say thank you.

I was a high profile gay because I came out in school and they nearly killed me. Won the Mathew Shepard scholarship. Somehow since then my mom has drifted so rightward, she's supporting these assholes now. She told me she's a "member of the log cabin republicans" which is when I told her she's no longer welcome in queer spaces, and cut her off.

She used to be pro-choice. When Roe fell, she said "maybe that's a good thing." I'm 100% sure she'll say the same when Obergefell goes. Maybe Lawrence too. Walking back her rights, her son's rights is OK as long as brown people are getting hurt.

On X, they’re all just saying this is happening because of trans people.

They probably just blame trans people...

or trans people for trump, they blame it on non-republican trans of course.

It is like the gays for Palestine.

Those things originally were to help prevent discrimination through thr actions of thr EEOC. Under this administration though nothing is sacred.

There's a reason I've always lied or decline to state :D

I've always wondered what happens if you lie. Why couldn't I be a bisexual handicapped inuit?

Donald Trump’s Education Department (ED) released a new rule to deny student loan forgiveness to people who work for LGBTQ+ organizations.

It is based on the nonprofit they work for, not their gender expression/sexuality. So, basically the administration can just decide if he doesn't like the organization you work for, you're screwed. Obviously wrong and messed up.

BTW that is the first sentence of the article. Seems like the people replying to you didn't read it either.

They don't have to 'prove' anything, they judge based on vibes alone.

Palantir. The folks who were screaming about the Chinese social score are the same ones who paved the way for thiel’s american, for-profit version.

A marriage certificate would be a very easy way. Other than that, your guess is as good as mine

Asking for consent? That's not Trump's way.

As I read the headline, it's sounds like they are removing LGBTQ organization from the list of places you can work to get loan forgiveness...

So they wont deny your loan forgiveness if you are gay, just if you work for a place that has a mission to help gay people.

Still fucking disgusting, because I would bet that there are christian organizations that still get forgiveness.

Doesn't matter, everybody's gay[...]

And just like that, we've returned to the 2000s.
