The Trump Department of Education is claiming to resume collection on student debtors who have defaulted on their student loans so they can protect “taxpayers.”

But student debtors *are* taxpayers you fucking idiot @realDonaldTrump. You’re just garnishing paychecks.
Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents.
