Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

God... I can't...

A two day event... to "highlight" an "agenda" that "promotes a program" that "addresses concerns".

Sure, I'm a cynic, i was never finna be fooled by them. But! how i say how could anyone get excited about this? Shit man even the organizer can't hype this as useful sounding. Can they hear themselves?

Holy shit. That sounds like a joke I might make about dems (progressive or normie).

Student loan forgiveness for Pell Grant recipients who started and operated businesses in disadvantaged communities for at least three years

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

That seems awfully optimistic. Now that Kamala's entire shtick is "Orange Man Bad!" Maybe now it's...

The Harris administration will highlight an agenda that promotes a program that addresses concerns about the possibility of student loan forgiveness for Pell Grant recipients who started and operated businesses in disadvantaged communities for at least a decade.
