According to the most recent version of the reconciliation bill, an education grant program will include free community college to individuals regardless of their "basis of citizenship, alienage, or immigration status.”The bill excludes student loan cancellation from the budget. Non citizens count as eligible students for free community college as long as the  student attends at least on "a half-time basis, and that students at schools with varying in-state and out-of-state tuition rates are covered under the definition if they "would qualify for such in-state or in-district resident tuition at such community college, but for the immigration status of such student." Republicans repudiated this proposed section citing, "Illegal immigrants skipped the line and broke our laws — they should not be rewarded with free tuition," Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., told Fox News in an email. "But Democrats want to use your tax money to pay for them to go to college." Others would like more attention to having student loans cancelled for citizens who’s suffered financial hardships during the pandemic.As this proposal is presented, a new caravan of immigrants is expected to make their way to the border in the very near future.  #freecollege #freeeducationforall #collegetuition #freecollegeforimmigrants #studentloandebt #juniorcollege #cancelstudentloans #freeeducation #illegalimmigrants #undocumented #communitycollege #bordercrossers #educationgrants #freetuition #democraticsocialism #democratic #studentloancancellation

New York Attorney General Letitia James joins the FBI reminding  New Yorkers that falsifying vaccine cards and records, the unauthorized use of the seals of the CDC,  and U.S Department of Health and Human Services’, violates various federal and New York state laws, all of which are subject to civil and criminal enforcement. Receiving Covid-19 vaccinations are encouraged in lieu of the usage of fake Covid certification cards that can result in civil fines, and criminal charges.#covidcards #covidcard #fakecovidcards #covidvacccine #covidcertificate #attorneygeneral #covid19vaccine #nycovid19 #covid19news #nyccovid19life #vaccinationrecordcertificate #tryingtobeslick #covidnews #vaccinerecored #youaintslick #fbiwarning #excelsior #excelsiorpass #excelsiorpassplus #covidapp

The spread of the delta variant in Texas and along the southern U.S. border has applied pressure on the Biden administration to implement enforcement.

Migrant families will either be released into the US with ankle monitors while they await their court case to make an asylum claim, or be deported back to their countries on fast track deportation flights.

Although Biden officials plan to resume “expedited removal” flights following sharp increases this month in the number of Central American families crossing the border, many families were removed from passenger manifests after testing positive for coronavirus or having been exposed to an infected person, according to Department of Homeland Security officials.

The families will either be released with ankle monitors and a court date to make their case for asylum or put on flights to be quickly deported.

Wen, the former Planned Parenthood president, said. "It needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated. "Right now, it's kind of the opposite." She believes the best option for those who refuse to get shots should perhaps face up to two testings weekly, and urged President Biden to get behind 'vaccine credentialing'.

She continued “ But at some point these mandates, by workplaces, by schools, I think it will be important to say, ‘Hey, you can opt out, but if you want to opt out, you have to sign these forms, you have to get twice weekly testing,’" Basically, we need to make getting vaccinated the easy choice,” as non vaccinated people have too many options to behave as those vaccinated  without consequences. 

 CNN medical analyst, Dr. Jonathan Reiner agrees. “I do think it’s time to start mandating vaccines," after being asked if government officials should stop begging Americans to get vaccinated. He says it’s time for private companies to start mandating vaccines, "And I think that private industry and private organizations will do that." #ᴜɴᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴀᴛᴇᴅ #ᴄᴏᴠɪᴅᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ #takethejab #vaccination #thejab #notothejab #nonvaccinatedclub #mandatoryvacinnation #noforcedvax #mandatoryjabs #mandatorymask #globalpandemic #mandatedvacccines #c19 #covid19pandemic #ɢᴇᴛᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴀᴛᴇᴅ #deltavariant #covid19vacccine #covidvacccine #covidpandemic

History of Juneteenth- 

On “Freedom’s Eve,” or the eve of January 1, 1863, the first Watch Night services took place. On that night, enslaved and free African Americans gathered in churches and private homes all across the country awaiting news that the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect. At the stroke of midnight, prayers were answered as all enslaved people in Confederate States were declared legally free. Union soldiers, many of whom were black, marched onto plantations and across cities in the south reading small copies of the Emancipation Proclamation spreading the news of freedom in Confederate States. Only through the Thirteenth Amendment did emancipation end slavery throughout the United States.

"Fairness in Women's Sports Act,” Florida’s new law establishes that women’s sports from middle school through college, including intramurals and club teams, are closed to males based on the biological sex listed on a student’s birth certificate. The measure has been widely celebrated by Republicans for “protecting the integrity” of girls athletics.  At least one group is pledging to sue Florida over the legislation alleging that it discriminates against transgender students. #ifairnessinwomenssportsact #rondesantis #girlathlete #femaleathletes #womenathletes #womenssports #sportsnews #transgenderwoman #athleticperformance #sportscompetition #floridagovernor #womenssportscompetion #transgendergirl #femaleathlete #thenextcomeup
