It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I edited it for clarity.

813,000 student borrowers will be getting an email from Biden today about federal student loans that were forgiven during his administration. Notable since the White House is trying to ensure Biden gets credit for limited student debt relief they've been able to carry out. Not the first time this has happened - Biden also sent out letters to stimulus check recipients throughout spring 2021 bearing his name and signature, trying to make sure voters knew it was the result of the American Rescue Plan.

Student loan forgiveness email from Biden:..

Edit. The tweet is from yesterday.

Even if Biden actually made meaningful debt forgiveness, which he didn't, this is such a masturbatory letter

the PSLF program "improvements" are literally just keeping the terms on the original promissory note I signed. because prior to that, the private, for-profit servicers were completely fucking people over and unaccountable. now they're like, 80% closer to keeping to the original terms, but the paperwork shuffle is still bullshit and it's literally 10 YEARS of public service. how about Joke Biden etc al. thank us.
