    so it seems after all knowledge is power, problem: #therich will fight this, even by burning down the house or starting a #war just to distract the #public
    or installing a #dicktator that just even more extremely does the #neoliberal agenda = #democracy is in danger

  2. CW: Unarmada for Gaza: Long bars, extreme content

    part of an immanent enormous #saga
    #fisherwomen row on; launch the largest
    fleet of thousands in barge or barcus
    in tar skiffs reading #Darcus and #Marcus
    a new #Dunkirk ; acts worthy of #Argus
    filled to beyond the brim like my #Tardis
    global #hawala – to dream is harmless
    to lift the hearts cos we partly #stardust
    not one weapon or piece of armour
    above all, do zero harm: nada
    hordes of #orcas escort and guard us
    friends to port, fore, aft and starboard
    from #Portugal , #Espagna , #Deutschland, the #Irish
    if they won’t lease #flags then I guess we’re #pirates
    #Lebanon, #Kosovo , #Tunisia , #Malta
    #Turkiye , #Morocco , #Corsica, #Gibraltar
    the #umma , #psalter and #altar on #prana
    a #KumbhMela from #Kos and #Kerala
    from #Cuba , #Bahamas , #Malaysia , #Ghana
    #Somalia , #Suriname & #Botswana
    #SriLanka , #Qatar, #Nepal & #Java
    departing from each unbecalmed plaza
    I won’t lie; they might turn some to carcass
    I daresay some are hard to harm us
    but if they bombard less than half of us
    they marmalade toast and Gaza shan’t be #Tartarus
    we can’t countenance being part of this artifice
    our heart charges us with love in our arteries
    so fear not the #armaments , the baying barbarous
    the slyness of charlatans & the #SilenceOfParliaments
    the spineless darlings that cover their arses up
    forgotten yo #Socrates ? their very #PowerCorrupts
    half are dumb, half are dicks, most are like “ah, fuck it”
    #unserious #ParlourTricks from #colonising #arsonists
    #Palestine is #OurVillage - can we show some cartilage?
    all of this #pillage done in our name, #OurImage
    calmly assemble; let’s meet at the #parsonage
    those with #TooManyScars stay and try and #fubar #TheRich
    #alone we’re just #particles with easy to break clavicles
    snippy pithy #articles the best in our #arsenal
    as a wave we a #radical #miracle that’s #unguardable ,
    all as one like #Dumas’ ‘keteers, literal #decarceral
    let’s be #deliverance and make it marvellous
    we all still slaves if their chains on one arm of us
    to the land of #FishersOfMen and #Carpenters
    we’re all #Madleen like they say “I am #Spartacus
    not move one half an inch before a full #armistice
    before #religion , #god and #human : #GazaLives

  3. #StudentLoans in default to be referred to #DebtCollection, #EducationDepartment says

    By ANNIE MA, April 21, 2025

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said Monday.

    "Currently, roughly 5.3 million borrowers are in default on their federal student loans.

    "The Trump administration ’s announcement marks an end to a period of leniency that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. No federal student loans have been referred for collection since March 2020, including those in default. Under President Joe Biden, the Education Department tried multiple times to give broad forgiveness of student loans, only to be stopped by courts.

    " 'American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,' #EducationSecretary #LindaMcMahon said.

    "Beginning May 5, the department will begin involuntary collection through the Treasury Department’s offset program, which withholds government payments — including tax refunds, federal salaries and other benefits — from people with past-due debts to the government. After a 30-day notice, the department also will begin garnishing wages for borrowers in default.

    "The decision to send debt to collections drew criticism from advocates, who said borrowers had experienced whiplash and confusion with the changing student loan policies between the Biden and Trump administrations."
