Really great, short, succinct assessment of a question that gets asked all the time without its core phrase ever really being truly defined.

Statement from Khalil: “I have committed no crime. I have broken no law. The only thing I am guilty of is speaking out against the genocide in Palestine — and this administration has weaponized the immigration system to punish me for it…”
The Board of Immigration Appeals has issued a final administrative removal order against Mahmoud Khalil. His lawyers, who anticipated this, said it didn’t impact the status quo, they’ll appeal to the 5th Circuit, & that he cannot be detained while his habeas case is pending.
Many will be forced into default.
First: Don’t let your member of Congress off the hook. Student debt is a policy failure that Congress created, and we don’t need more “income driven repayment” plans that have never worked in the past.
People who rush to switch plans might regret it if the courts reexamine the case at all.
Make no mistake. When the Republicans voted to pass Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” they voted to hike your payment to the point where millions will simply not have the resources to pay.
The Trump administration wants to hike your monthly student loan payment.
That is not hyperbole.
To do that, they are trying to scare you into taking action that would trigger repayment immediately. Again, you have some time.
You have until September to figure out what to do.
If you have federal student debt, you may have recently received an email from the Department of Education telling student debtors who are in the SAVE forbearance to switch plans.
We want to encourage you to not rush this next step.
Take a deep breath. You have until September.
The Trump admin is full-on financially destroying student debtors right now without much of a fight from big national Democrats.
They're raising payments, transferring a $2 trillion portfolio to an entirely different agency with no oversight, etc
Schumer, Jeffries and Dems are silent.
That Amanda and West statement irritated my nerves to no end.
New Yorkers are fed up with their tax dollars funding genocide, war and apartheid while working families struggle to get by. That's what unchecked AIPAC money buys.
@votepalpac.bsky.social is fighting to change that. So proud to have their support.
From fighting against Israel’s apartheid for years to standing with student organizers like Mahmoud Khalil, Claire has proven that her moral compass is not for sale.
Join us in sending a true advocate for Palestinian freedom to D.C.!
PAL PAC is proud to endorse @claireforny.bsky.social in NY-07!
Claire is a true leader who has consistently demonstrated what it means to stand up for what is right, even when it’s politically difficult.
PAL PAC is thrilled to announce our endorsement of @saikatforcongress.bsky.social
Saikat is a principled leader who stands up for Palestinian rights and is dedicated to creating a more just world for all people.
Our grassroots movement forced every power — from AIPAC to the establishment — to use their entire arsenal, just to barely beat us.
Our loss today merely makes the path easier for the next person who runs. It’s an honor to be able to clear that path.
Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign.
Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us.
What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.
🚨"Every single loss like this one will make the path easier for the next person. We are not done, and I'm not going anywhere...Fuck Trump, Fuck ICE, Free Palestine." -Kat Abughazaleh gives her concession speech in Illinois primary as @JTCestkowski reports ⬇️
Kat ran a beast of a campaign and honestly did it with minimal outside help.
Dismissing her campaign makes you unserious, not her.
The take I haven’t seen yet…I don’t think Donna Miller will stick with AIPAC for long. Just like Foushee and Dexter moved…she will eventually disavow AIPAC.
The in-district pressure won’t just go away because the primary ended.
The Justice For Hind Rajab Act is a historic bill to cut off US weapons to the Israeli unit that murdered Hind and, for the first time, hold US citizens in the Israeli army accountable if they were involved.
Thank you Senator Peter Welch for bringing Hind’s story to the Senate floor.
Deeply honored and grateful to have the support of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a leader who has never been afraid to put justice, humanity, and the truth ahead of political convenience. Her courage has helped blaze the path for so many of us.
This is correct.
"No to war... and free Palestine"
Javier Bardem
Huh. So it's unclear who's funding this campaign to pay influencers to attack Kat Abughazaleh.
But the guy coordinating also has a company called Advocators AI, which just won an award for work for…Daniel Biss — her opponent.
One of the campaigns the company boasts about promotes trips to Israel.
Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign.
Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.
Now it makes sense why AIPAC just dropped over $1 million in attack ads & mailers against @katmabu.bsky.social.
Kat's surging while AIPAC's candidate is floundering.
