Dept. of Ed is reclassifying all the female dominated professions (nurse, therapist, speech pathologist, PA) as not having “professional” degrees, which makes it harder for them to get educational loans.

Another FUCKED UP thing this admin is doing to attack women’s power.

Take that shit to court!

Trump believes he should be able to execute members of Congress.
 
Their supposed crime: putting out a video advising the intelligence community and military personnel not to follow unlawful orders.
 
This is totally disgusting—and terrifying.
