#financialaid — Public Fediverse posts

Still in need of help. Thank you to everyone who has reposted/shared this around.

Unfortunately we need help with funds again for hygiene products, some food, and helping out my parents. We're slowly moving in a better direction but have to trudge through a bit more. Anything helps 😞

The proposed regulations, which the #Treasury Dept published Thurs, would add another element to guidelines #schools & other organizations must follow to qualify for #TaxExempt status with the #IRS. The rules would deny tax-exempt status to any #school, including secondary schools & #universities, if it has ANY policy or program, including #admissions & #scholarships, that the IRS finds to be racially “discriminatory”.

Let's see if today in specific, we can raise $150. Can we do that, Fedi, please?

This is for basic needs at the #Vulpibus.

We're using Atha's accounts to keep it all together.

PayPal sucks but it is currently the most functional method. https://PayPal.me/athamanatha

Also if anyone has any online or offline paid work for any of us, let us know. We have a variety of useful and applicable skills, from DIY to systems design, from art to writing, from electronics to farm work!
If anyone has $thousands to throw at making a bigger and more lasting change to our lives, we can make that into an effects multiplier with our work at @vulpinelabs - let's talk!
Yes, capitalism sucks. Please also consider ending this stupid system.

Hi folks,

We are pleased to inform you that @vulpinelabs 's Vulpibus is now within a few hundred miles of its destination! Another full tank of ultra low sulphur diesel should do the trick, and that will be around $200 in the currency of this realm, along with a buffer of $300 for any extra moving around that might be needed in the coming weeks. They also need monies for food and fending off debts once they arrive, and to get needed batteries and insulation for the winter. Then there's the matter of HRT... and vehicular bureaucracy costs in their new state.

The help we have received along this journey from #Mutualaid is inspiring. #mutualaidsaveslives .

Please help Atha and Inara make it the rest of the way to where they can sort out an income and somewhere more permanent to live! This way they can even start to properly build the commune and labs on wheels we need.

If this world had any idea how important the work of Vulpine Labs is, Atha and Inara would be given anything and everything they need.

In an ideal world, they wouldn't be having to flee from fascists, snobs and Karens because there wouldn't be any in power. But here we are. Please, help if you can.

1/2 US Protest Law Tracker - Updates to #Federal #Protest Laws introduced in 2025.

Latest updates: Jun. 10, 2025 (US Federal)

Providing for deportation of non-citizens who commit protest-related offenses

Would cancel the visa of any individual convicted of protest-related crimes and provide for the individual’s deportation within 60 days. Under the bill, individuals convicted of any “crime (i) related to [their] conduct at and during the course of a protest; (ii) involving the defacement, vandalism, or destruction of Federal property; or (iii) involving the intentional obstruction of any highway, road, bridge, or tunnel” would be deportable. The bill requires that such individuals’ visas be “immediately” cancelled and the individuals removed from the US within 60 days. If enacted, a non-citizen convicted of even a nonviolent misdemeanor “related to” a protest, such as trespass or disorderly conduct, could face deportation. The bill’s sponsor cited protests around immigration raids in #LosAngeles as the impetus for his bill.
(Full text of Bill: https://www.cotton.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/61025novisasforviolentcriminalsactreintro.pdf)
Status: pending
Introduced 10 Jun 2025.
Issue(s): Traffic Interference

Heightened penalties for "#riot" offenses

Would amend the federal #AntiRioting law to raise the maximum penalty to ten years in prison, instead of five, for participating in or inciting a “riot,” or aiding or abetting someone to do so. The federal definition of “riot” is broad, requiring only a “public disturbance” where one individual in a group commits violence. Under the bill, someone who committed or abetted an “act of violence” during the commission of a “riot” offense would face a minimum one-year sentence, while an individual who assaulted a law enforcement officer would face a sentence of at least one year and up to life in prison. Federal law defines “act of violence” broadly to include using force against #property—or just attempting or threatening to use such force. As such, if enacted, the bill could result in steep criminal penalties for protesters who do not actually engage in violence or destructive conduct. The bill’s sponsor cited protests around immigration raids in Los Angeles as the impetus for his bill.

HR 2272: Blocking #FinancialAid to students who commit a "riot"-related offense

Would bar federal financial assistance and loan forgiveness for any student convicted of a crime in connection with a “riot.” The bar would apply to students convicted of “rioting” or “a) inciting a riot; b) organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying on a riot; c) committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or d) aiding or abetting any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.” Many states define “riot” broadly enough to cover peaceful protest activity; many also have broad laws criminalizing “incitement to riot” that cover protected expression. The bill would bar financial aid and #LoanForgiveness for students convicted under such provisions. As written, the bill would also bar financial aid and loan forgiveness to students convicted of any offense related to “#organizing, #promoting, encouraging” a riot, or “aiding and abetting” incitement or participation in a riot, which could cover an even wider range of expressive conduct, from sharing a social media post to cheering on demonstrators in a protest that was deemed a “riot.”

#HR2273: Providing for visa revocation and deportation of #noncitizens who commit a "riot"-related offense

Would require the Secretary of State to revoke the visa of and make deportable a noncitizen #student, #scholar, #teacher, or #specialist convicted of a crime in connection with a “riot.” Under the bill, individuals in the US on an F-1, J-1, or M-1 visa would have their visas revoked and would be deportable if they were convicted of “rioting” or “a) inciting a riot; b) organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying on a riot; c) committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or d) aiding or abetting any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.” Many states define “riot” broadly enough to cover peaceful protest activity; many also have broad laws criminalizing “incitement to riot” that cover protected expression. The bill would provide for the deportation of foreign students, scholars, and others convicted under such provisions. As written, the bill would also provide for their deportation if convicted of any offense related to “organizing, promoting, encouraging” a riot, or “aiding and abetting” incitement or participation in a riot, which could cover an even wider range of expressive conduct, from sharing a #SocialMediaPost to cheering on #demonstrators in a protest that was deemed a “riot.”

#S1017: New federal criminal penalties for protests near #pipelines

Would create a new federal #felony offense that could apply to protests of planned or operational pipelines. The bill would broadly criminalize under federal law “knowingly and willfully” “#vandalizing, tampering with, disrupting the operation or construction of, or preventing the operation or construction of” a gas pipeline. A range of peaceful activities could be deemed “disrupting… the construction of” a pipeline, from a rally that obstructs a road used by construction equipment, to a #lawsuit challenging a pipeline’s #permit or# zoning approval. The bill does not define “disrupt,” such that even a brief delay would seemingly be covered. Further, the underlying law provides that any "attempt" or "conspiracy" to commit the offense would be punished the same as actual commission. As such, individuals as well as organizations that engage in the planning or facilitation of a protest that is deemed to “disrupt” pipeline construction could be covered. The offense would be punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for an individual, or $500,000 for an organization.

Hey friends and followers, @xtinadlr and I have been having a discussion about our Patreon support tiers - if we created a support tier at $1 USD / month, would that encourage people to sign up to support the podcast? Or is it just basically the same as the current $3USD tier? What do you think?

Since I'm located in Canada, the lowest support tier starts at $4.50 up here, which is kind of a lot, so I thought a tier below that might be more accessible for folks around the world who want to support us, but just can't justify the $4.50/month (or however much it translates to in their country's currency).

So, we decided to poll folks to get a sense of what people might like! What do you think about our adding a $1USD tier?
