AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>I might have to post about this again if and when Trump actually signs the order, but I wanted to highlight this Guardian post because White House staff secretary Will Scharf really goes out of his way to give away the whole fascist game of Calvinball going on here.</p><p>This is fascist ideological policing 101 and yet another example of the crass word games these nazis are using to create a fascist dictatorship in America. Scharf openly admits that it's NOT just criminal activity the regime intends to target, but literally "what *we* would consider to be improper activities" - and by we, he means the fascist Trump administration of course. Furthermore Scharf goes on the clarify the government intends to prevent student loan forgiveness for federal employees that "support" illegal immigration and foreign terrorist organizations, and as we just discussed yesterday "support" is a nebulous term that means whatever the fascists want it to mean, and by pre-emptively declaring anyone who opposes Israel's genocide in Gaza to be "pro-Hamas" the regime has the ability to accuse anyone protesting a genocide funded, armed, and supported by the American empire, of "supporting foreign terrorist organizations." Have you posted criticism of Israeli crimes against humanity in Gaza online? Have you publicly objected to cruel ICE raids targeting hard-working migrants and their children? Then these fascist assholes literally mean people like you when they're discussing who this will target.</p><p>A lot of people are going to ignore this because "it's just student loan forgiveness for federal employees" and American attitudes towards students and loan forgiveness have been poisoned by a mainstream discourse that has taught them to hate college students and assume anyone getting loan forgiveness is a parasite who is getting away with something *they* don't have access to. The fact is however that the Trump regime is asserting the government's right to marginalize anyone who doesn't agree with their odious ideological positions, and that opposing those positions makes you ineligible for rights and support services that are by design, legally open to everyone who qualifies. Historically speaking, this is always how fascist regimes and ideological dictatorships start. They don't build Dachau on day one, they start by restricting access to government services and denying the benefits of a larger democratic society to targeted marginalized groups "regular" people don't like very much for typically hateful reasons. Once they've got you to agree that the government has the right to punish and revoke the rights and privileges of *some* people for ideological reasons, you've now handed them a skeleton key and a proof of concept model for doing it to literally anyone the fascist regime says is "bad" or even just "wrong." </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StudentLoans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentLoans</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NaziGermany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NaziGermany</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/IdeologicalPolicing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IdeologicalPolicing</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WillScharf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WillScharf</span></a></p>

That plan doesn’t require borrowers to make payments if they earn less than 225% of the federal poverty line — $32,800 a year for a single person — and prevents interest from adding to balances as long as borrowers make their monthly payments. The SAVE plan was already put on hold after Republicans challenged it.

Rob Larter<p>The UK higher education finance system is severely broken. From people in universities who I collaborate with, I hear how much universities are struggling to balance the books. As a father of two students who graduated in the past few years and one current student, it is clear to me the student loan system is unsustainable. <br>Over the the festive period my eldest, who graduated 5 years ago and has earned enough to pay off some of the debt in every year since, updated me on how this is going:<br>Amount loaned over 3 years: £39k<br>Debt when leaving university: £45k (interest is charged from the start of loans)<br>Current debt, despite repayments: £50k<br>If young people earning fairly good incomes are not succeeding in paying down their student loans, the amount that will ultimately have to be written off is going to be astronomical.<br><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>university</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/studentloans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>studentloans</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/highereducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>highereducation</span></a></p>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Look, I've had numerous (well documented) complaints about the Biden administration and the fact that I don't think its liberal, incrementalist policies go nearly far enough in the face of a fascist project to control every aspect of our society, backed by corporate power. With that having been said however, I dunno how *anyone* can still be arguing that there are political, institutionalist answers to the fascist takeover we're experiencing in America when even straightforward incrementalist policies by an elected Democrat President are being struck down or otherwise blocked by Calvin Ball rulings from federal courts stacked full of fascists:</p><p><a href="https://truthout.org/articles/appeals-court-blocks-bidens-student-debt-relief-plan/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">truthout.org/articles/appeals-</span><span class="invisible">court-blocks-bidens-student-debt-relief-plan/</span></a></p><p>Appeals Court Blocks Biden’s Student Debt Relief Plan</p><p>"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit’s temporary ruling against the administration’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan comes just over a year after the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s sweeping student debt cancellation proposal."</p><p>This case isn't even about using political power to stop fascism, it's a clear cut situation of providing debt relief for folks being ground up by the student loan industry. If fascist judges are prepared to interfere with regular policy issues and block milquetoast presidential initiatives, you can sure as shit bet they're going to do the same thing about any political efforts to stop the fascist takeover of our society. Whether you're for taking to the streets, or you believe in stopping fascism at the ballot box, it's 100% clear to me that we're not going anywhere good as a country so long as these corrupt, be-robed nazis are running Bartertown. </p><p>There's more than one way to reform the American federal court system, and I don't have all the answers for you. It's entirely possible the Biden administration can keep working around these rulings for a little while to continue offering student loan debt relief to millions of Americans victimized by the student loan industry. What I do know however is that sooner or later the political issues raised by the fascist takeover of our courts will come to a head, and by hook, or by crook, we need to find a way to shatter the power of corrupt judges who're now running the country for their reactionary corporate donors; rich donors and corpos who clearly support the larger fascist project, might I add. Ignoring this reality is a nonstarter - both politically, and in our greater society. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StudentLoans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentLoans</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CourtReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CourtReform</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biden</span></a></p>

Account information all updated, two-factor authentication, and authenticator attached (just in case--I didn't give them access).
Contacted the AG's office in California to report the organization for violating federal law.
Contacted the AG's office in New Mexico to report the advertising agency that routed the email to me on their behalf.
Contacted the CFPB and DOE both and reported them as well.
And also mentioned I'm willing to call them back and get more info.
I don’t know who Students Loan Services, LLC out of California is, but they are definitely doing something shady.
They tried to log into my account for me and have me give them my authentication code.
“Well it clearly says not to share it with anyone so I’m not going to.”
*they hang up*
I called back five times to get information on who they are so I can report them to the CFPB or IRS, last guy gave me the Org name.
Be wary people. That was sketchy as fuck.

This really says something about this whole process.

Recognizing people are pissed about spending taxes paid by poorer people who didn't go to college on #StudentLoans, what if we created a separate new tax on the very wealthy to pay for it? Or corporate profits. Make it an ongoing separate fund that also paid for trade school. Would that make (almost) everybody happy?
