I love my peeps at #WMPG! Despite threats of funding cuts to #CPB (which helps fund WMPG as well as Public Radio and Television), they are still celebrating #PRIDEMonth! YES!

"This June, WMPG is turning up the volume on love, identity, and community. Join us for a month-long celebration featuring #queer-themed music, powerful storytelling, and special programming that honors #LGBTQ+ voices past and present. From thought-provoking podcasts to live shows spotlighting queer artists and activists, we’re proud to stand with the community and share stories that inspire, uplift, and unite. Tune in and celebrate Pride with WMPG all month long!"

#Teachers sue #Trump admin for stopping affordable #StudentLoan repayment plans

The American Federation of Teachers represents 1.8 million educators.

By Leah Sarnoff, March 19, 2025

"One of America's largest unions is taking aim at President Donald Trump's administration for shutting down access to affordable student loan repayment plans -- saying the decision is 'effectively breaking' the system.

"The American Federation of Teachers (#AFT), representing 1.8 million educators across the country, filed a lawsuit against the #DepartmentOfEducation in Washington, D.C., hoping to restore the programs that have now been shuttered for three weeks.

"The filing alleges the administration halting the application process for all Income-Driven Repayment (#IDR) plans and ordering student loan servicers to stop all processing violates #FederalLaw.

"AFT sued the United States Department of Education (ED) for effectively breaking the student loan system, denying borrowers' access to affordable loan payments and blocking progress towards Public Service Loan Forgiveness (#PSLF), in violation of federal law,' the union said in a statement Wednesday."
