“

I look at my student loan statements each month and feel angry and jaded toward a culture that tells poor kids that the only way to make anything of themselves is to take out a ton of loans to MAYBE have a tiny chance at competing for a job that dozens or hundreds of other people are also competing for.

I feel like someone tricked me along the way by telling me college was the answer, and I feel stupid for not having questioned that. I did enjoy college. I don’t regret my degree. I DO have a job now. But I don’t think that means the system works. I think that means I’m lucky.

“

imagine if a friend who shared interests of yours—even more strongly than you did and was always trying to pump up that interest even higher—eventually talked and talked and bugged you long enough and convinced you that you should take this interest to the ultimate heights of extremeness and even offered you a ride there and say the activity happened to be illegal and once you agreed and you arrived there, they hop out, call the cops and arrest you.

this is how the FBI “solves” terror plots.

and that, my friends, is why the USA is number one in…something. not sure what anymore. jails, right? something.

Struggle against fare increases puts Brazil on the path of protest movements around the world

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:20:31 -0700

Struggle against fare increases puts Brazil on the path of protest movements around the world:

São Paulo: 3.20 reais; Recife: R$3.45; Porto Alegre R$3.05; Goiânia: R$3.00; Curitiba: $2.85; Rio de Janeiro: R$ 2.95. These prices are just a sample of the new bus fares which have increased all over Brazil in the first half of 2013. They have aroused indignation in thousands of public transport users. But in the context of global crisis and popular resistance in many countries, is the anger reflected in the demonstrations only related to public transport?

Christian College Demands Expelled Lesbian Student Pay Back Financial Aid

Christian College Demands Expelled Lesbian Student Pay Back Financial Aid:

justinspoliticalcorner:

It’s no secret that many Christian-affiliated colleges enforce very strict behavioral expectations for their students, but Danielle Powell is realizing just how vindictive a college can be when those expectations are not met. She had enrolled in Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska, but was expelled in the spring of 2011, just months before graduating, after it was discovered she was in a relationship with another woman. Now, the school is demanding she pay back $6,000, claiming she has to repay her federal loans and grants since she did not finish the semester.

The Department of Education says any money she may or may not owe the school is between the two of them and “not at all because of federal rules.” On the other hand, there are also no rules requiring the university not to discriminate based on sexual orientation when receiving financial aid from the federal government, so it’s unclear territory. Powell actually attempted to follow through on the remediation plan the school originally laid out for her, which included months of church attendance, Christian counseling, and promises not to engage in sex. She was readmitted, then promptly kicked out again because the staff’s “prevailing opinion is that those professions appear to have been insincere, at best, if not deceitful.” In other words, Grace is essentially fining a former student for not convincing the faculty she is straight enough to complete her education there.

Grace’s Student Handbook includes a litany of rules all students are required to sign and abide by. For example, students are not allowed to watch HBO, VH1, MTV, BET, Comedy Central, or any R-rated movie on campus. It also includes severe limitations on displays of affection, explicitly prohibiting activities like “extending holding or embracing one another,” “lying next to each other,” kissing, and “giving backrubs/rubbing shoulders.” “Homosexual acts” are considered “sexually immoral behavior” and thus a “Level-Three violation,” which at minimum includes University Probation and possibly fines starting at $100.

“i want more men
with flowers falling from their skin
more water in their eyes
more tremble in their hands
more women in their hearts
than
on their bodies
more softness in their height
more honesty in their voice
more wonder
more humility in their eyes.”
