So upset about the 50,000 loan cap Trump put on “professional studies”. Idk how I’ll be able to afford med school and housing in the future. My bf’s in med school rn and he’s able to attend w/o working or taking out private loans🫠

Why should they pay for your school? the government is already in debt, take out private loans instead

1.) You have a misconception of how DEI works. It’s for qualified minorities (e.g., women, POC). Fun fact: white women have benefited from DEI the most. 2.) “Regular people”? You mean white people?😂 Men? White men? Right right. And the rest of us are just non-regulars. Typical language use making you guys the center of the universe while we’re labeled as “others”. Ofc DEI feels like reverse oppression when you’re so used to the system historically benefiting just you and excluding everyone else.

I actually did. I worked 20-30 hours a week waiting tables. I met my two best friends working retail and we all decided to get jobs as waiters so we could do college. One is a nurse, one is an engineer, and I have an equally good job. If you work through college, you’ll also be infinitely more respected by employers (by a lot). You can still make it in this world even if everything isn’t handed to you on a silver platter.

Yeah. Trump and all the Project 20/20 people realized that black women are the most educated population by percentage and couldn’t have that. That’s why his racist department of education declassified nurses as professionals. Too many black women getting nursing degrees and getting out of poverty. Racist.

4 years ago. Again, for my entire time in university, everyone said the exact same things you guys are saying. There are plenty of places you can go that won’t have you apply online (mom and pop type diners, for example). Even then, open with asking to speak to a manager in other places. Don’t even waste your time with anything that isn’t a waiter/server job; it’s the only way to make this much money working part time with flexible hours where you can trade any shift away easily.

It worked for me. It worked for all my close friends. Did we have to use student aid and very minimal loans? Yes. Was it impossible to survive? No. All of us were also able to do all the things we wanted, like live away from home, go to concerts, everything we wanted. You can be a perpetual victim if you want, but the only people who are going to empathize with you are other perpetual victims.

There’s nothing unsafe about disclosing information if you’re here legally and I don’t know a single minority who has had their life made more difficult. Even if your claim was true, which it’s not, ICE making the lives of minority is harder has nothing to do with other people getting jobs. That’s a red herring.

It’s not a red herring. If ice is using their leverage to force businesses to disclose info on their employees, which is happening, then why tf would anyone disclose info and try to get hired if they could be targeted. Also, your first statement is entirely false when ICE has been kidnapping legal citizens, or citizens in the process of becoming legal, for years.

“Citizen in the process of becoming legal” is like calling yourself “Dr.” while in the process of getting your PhD. You become a citizen when you become legal. Until that point you’re not a citizen and can be deported if you overstay visa conditions or your application is denied. Not understanding the law is a choice (the law that Democrats wrote, btw… look up who signed the INA and the IIRIRA 🙄)

Seriously - they don’t get that the climate of this economy is literally proven to be worse for the working class than the Great Depression. But they’ve been so convinced by US propaganda that any kind of issues we face must have smth to do with our budgeting, and DEFINITELY not the fact that the government keeps wasting our taxes on international wars/funding genocide/giving billionaires tax breaks/kidnapping civilians instead of actually supporting their constituents. You’re not in the wrong!
