DOGE will reverse everyone's student loans that were forgiven. Where is @anonymous when you need them to whipe the whole system and then burn everything up in the microwave like on Mr. Robot?
I don’t think that’s how that works. The forgiven loans turn into zeroes. They won’t know how to differentiate between loans paid and loans discharged.
Agreed? Did they have authority to stop DOGE before.. Because they were (ARE) doing whatever they want and don't really seem to care about agreement or judicial orders..
This is exactly the situation-trump hired musk trump could get rid of musk …the question is would trump return everything to normal if musk was arrested? Very doubtful.
It’s bad enough that these student loan servicer’s are charging ridiculous interest on our loans, but illegal access to our data opens the door to identity theft, politically motivated tracking, access to our bank accounts by Musk’s kid hackers, or worse.
Honestly, if we can make it out of this mess, we should class action lawsuit Musk, strip him of all his billions and pay off our loans, end child hunger, homelessness, fix our educational system, repair our environment - think of what we could do.
😭 I am so scared . I have been pursuing a bachelors in cyber security/ web development for 4 years . I have less than 5 weeks left and depend on my student loans . This is criminal !!!
If my degree program is interrupted, I’m not paying back a single penny if it prevents me from completing the program, but I’m starting to wonder if any of that’s gonna matter anyway with the days ahead
OMG.. YES 💪 but away temporarily? 🤷♀️ Elon Musk’s fake DOGE commission is not a legitimate department.
DOGE was only approved by Donald Trump through executive order because Elon Musk licked his ears. 🤬 DOGE did NOT have Congressional approval so — why is it interfering with DoE?
Additionally, a federal appeals court denied the Trump administration’s request to overturn a lower court’s order, preventing the president from unilaterally freezing billions in loans, grants, and financial aid.
Republican Representatives handing the power of congress to Trump and Musk. They're derelict and complicit in all this daylight robbery and lawbreaking.
The thing on my mind though... when he ignores those rulings, and it seems like that's the plan, what then? Our system has no plan in place for when one party has unilateral control and goes rogue. So, again I ask. What then?
My post was a copypaste of a previous rant of mine regarding the name change of the Gulf of Mexico which first showed up in records in the 16th century. That’s what 400 years was about.
There is no precedence for what’s going on in 2025. Maybe Caligula.
Also Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press. Yet he’s putting quid pro quos on government access and the Pentagon is replacing real news outlets with fake right wing whackjob talking heads.
His fortune was made in rhe courts. He is trying ro divide and conquer...throwing out enough malarkey in hopes of inciting a civil war...which he would then "fix".
They clearly have a mission & it has nothing to do with/ what we've been. They are hollowing out the USA and using the shell of it to establish a government of their own design. An oligarchy headed by a tyrant, run--they imagine--like a business--with profit as purpose & humans mostly irrelevant.
STAND UP.
WE'RE HERE FOR THE RUMBLE.
It's a time for fierce compassion. Be fierce, do an activity everyday. It's self care. Be the rain, the howling wind, and the mountainous wave. Be the storm. Pass it on.
Guys, DOGE is not going to delete student loans. In fact, shit is going to get worse for folks with student loans. Debt is a liability and a weapon now folks.
I’m predicting defaults all over the place. Can’t afford a house with higher student loan payments and can’t get a home loan with a default. What’s the difference? 🤷♀️
Yeah, there is that. Crap. So I wonder how they plan to make continuous money off of us if we can’t pay our loans, etc and probably lose our jobs? Great business plan.
The whole country will default within the next few years. Trump and his buddies are chasing cryptocurrencies because the USD is on the verge of collapse.
I believe you're referring to the 1st Circuit's decision today, which was actually the denial of a stay of the lower court's order, not denial of a request to appeal that order.
Challenge, resist, appeal. At every level. Make this as difficult and slow as possible. If told to move, sit down and let them carry you out. It takes at least two persons to move an adult.
Love all these people in rural areas thinking DoE funding goes to inner city schools, without realizing a lot of poor rural areas also receive their funding
Excuse me, how can they block doge but the treasury couldn’t?! Other areas can’t, just this one? Who gives the passwords to Musk?! Do all of these gov places not have passwords?
I’m curious if anyone else with active student loans has been watching their forgiveness date change on a daily basis starting the day they gained access to the system?
Seems like they’re doing whatever the hell they want. I will not pay back a loan that’s been forgiven. We can start a class action or go on the lam to Mexico or someplace.
Well, considering they've already downloaded it and uploaded to their own server, it's really just a minor convenience. They'll just scurry over and steal data from another department before some judge belatedly comes along and blocks that too. And so on and so forth. :/
If they want to raise the loan burden (which I don't understand) I'm just going to take out a personal loan at my credit union and pay off the student loans I have left...I will pay interest to the credit union instead of the govt...fuck them!
Are they going to siphon money straight from my checking account? That's outright theft with zero rationale. But I wouldn't put it past them. What can I do? Not a fucking thing...
I'm paying mine because I would prefer to not have creditors on my ass. And letting them sit and accrue interest is not something I want either...so I want them paid and out of my life asap.
Let's start with anyone involved in public education. It boils my blood to go to the main office of an ISD and see the parking lot full of SUVs with "my child goes to x charter/private school" bumper stickers.
I agree on private schools, but don’t just blanket charters in the same boat. A lot of times charters can serve populations who don’t have public schools nearby. They receive public funding, have to get accreditation from states and have to abide by state curricula. Private schools don’t.
That said, I also know there are private schools who use “Charter” in their school name to obscure their true nature and charge tuition, so even education has grifter rug pulls
Yeah, no. I'm lumping them together. The charters in my area are taking funding from public schools and the transfer students I receive are ill prepared for high school, despite coming from charter school "college level" classes.
I know what you mean, but in my community, we opened a STEM school which had open enrollment, but primarily served as a magnet for refugee populations in the area who would’ve been bussed miles away. At some point, underserved communities need those options
They need access to that data so that their AI model can more accurately determine which ones of us are undesirables needing shipped to Vichy El Salvador
So if they have access to my data isn't that against the privacy laws and therefore don't have to pay? Bc I'm not paying if they're throwing my SSN and bank info all over the place
Many of us are file a FERPA complaint. Send it to your loan servicer, credit report agencies, your presentatives, and most importantly, your state’s attorney general.
Only the loans going to women, Black people, Brown people, Asians, LGBTQIA+ people, Indigenous people, people with disabilities, unhoused people and Veterans.
They take over of that building is illegal and unconscionable. DOGE members and anybody else needs to be handcuffed & jailed. Time to start the arrests of underlings. Armed guards at our govt buildings to keep the intruders out.
Can the DC police arrest DOGE? Can they stop their private security force from blocking elected lawmakers from observing DOGE? Why or why not? What does it take to make it happen?
Daily reminder, in response to Musks claims of DOGE transparency, remember elected Congressional Representatives who tried to enter & watch DOGE in action were turned away by a private security firm and knowledgeable employees were vacated & blocked from their websites https://www.axios.com/2025/02/07/house-democrats-education-department-doge-musk
If you have student loans, screen shot your balance, interest rate, and payment history. I’m sure servicing will be privatized and then the fuckery will begin in earnest.
That’s nice but I don’t think any of these blocks matter. The damage is done. How long do you think it takes to download information once it’s accessed? Not very long.
This is why I screenshot and saved all my student loan info. What I've paid, what I still owe...everything. I mean, I won't complain if my debt disappeared however I don't want a bunch of stupid 19-24 yr olds looking at my information.
It clearly doesn’t matter. He was told to delete any personal data he already stole but he has signed tax statements. Even though we are “unhinged morons” for pointing out that he has Americans’ personal data.
Yep, this is essentially a Digital Blitzkrieg driven by hackers that Elon and Peter Thiel paid a lot of money to find (see Peter Thiel Fellowship ). We need our own Anti-DOGE team. Please join Spotlight on DOGE, a volunteer effort to track DOGE efforts (see https://bsky.app/profile/spotlightondoge.bsky.social )
I reported DOGE & the DOE multiple times to the House Oversight Committee. I submitted a complaint through Student Aid Gov. I emailed my state's AG. The AG is the only one who bothered with a response. I will keep calling and submitting complaints until someone responds, they quit, or I die.
STAND UP.
WE'RE HERE FOR THE RUMBLE.

Lmaoooo I mean it’s not like I can afford anything at this point anyway. Pretty sure every millennial is going to have the same reaction. We can all work in the gulag together. The playlist for stamping license plates or whatever will be dope.
Gen X here. I did nothing to poison anything. I put myself through college and was lucky that Biden passed the PSLF. My loans were forgiven in 2022. But I paid up until then. Now this is going to make it nearly impossible for me to put my Gen Z kids through college, for nothing that I have done.
As a teacher, I'm heartbroken but a tiny bit hopeful.
This is my Republican senator. If you want one with
---YOUR--- senator, leave their name in a reply. I'll try
to make one for you.
Reminder, letting the student loan bubble fester just means more interest for Nelnet, etc. if they were serious about government waste, they'd start with their C suite.
The servicers don't actually get to keep the money you pay them, it all goes back to the federal government that loaned the money in the first place. Servicers are paid a fixed fee per loan per month by the DoE.
Student loan forgiveness all the way, it's just a common misconception that Nelnet et. al. own your loans where really they just man the cash register and collect a wage from Big FSA.
We were warned in 2016 and again last year, and America voted for this wannabe dictator anyway! so I’ll quote the great philosopher W Bush… ''Fool me once shame on you, fool me - You can't get fooled again''
I work in document remediation for the visually impaired and we have a LOT of government contracts and in particular just spent a shit ton of money to accommodate the needs of federal loan programs.
This shit has me terrified for my job.
I’m in an under-developed area. Most of the people I work with don’t have other options. We’re all fucked if the government starts pulling the plug on accessibility.
If they change anything without written consent I’m 95% certain it invalidates anything that a borrower has agreed to under the terms of the loans (ie repayment responsibility) & if consumer protections aren’t COMPLETELY wiped away, borrowers can just tie it up requested our signed new agreements
Most likely you were in one of the very last forgiveness groups the Biden DoE squeaked through and Nelnet finally got the discharge posted. Take the money and run, man.
But keep an eye on you credit report and track the forgiven loan number. Forgiven Mohelo loans have been ‘reactivated’ with new account numbers per Reddit reports.

They can figure it out.
The media not bluntly stating that is part of the problem.
We should be able to sue for damages
He and his minions should have absolutely no access to any part of our government
Period!!
DOGE was only approved by Donald Trump through executive order because Elon Musk licked his ears. 🤬 DOGE did NOT have Congressional approval so — why is it interfering with DoE?
Fairly sure this wasn't what they dreamed of.
Congress shall make the laws. Judges shall interpret the laws. Executive shall enforce the laws.
This president & Project 2025 thinks thinks he can legislate from the Oval Office.
The constitution is not 400 years old.
There is no precedence for what’s going on in 2025. Maybe Caligula.

To funnel all the payments over to them?
Now:
Anyone know where I send my taxes?
I agree with him .
More resources for the days ahead.

Anyway, fuck all fascists
