If WA State is going to become California, can we at least get rid of the shitty weather? Fuck this state.
We need a general tweet of the day thread

”But 5 officers died because of J6!! A few committed suicide!”
Whistleblowers get the death penalty when you go against Team Fascism. Seth Rich says hi, H.
I still don’t understand why Trump voters stay in cities and states whose political leaders actively hate them. I left Portland and haven’t regretted it once.
In my case, markets for work are somewhat limited, particularly when considering there are only a handful of states I'd be happy to relocate to. A lot of the red states would also be a 25% or more pay cut and housing costs and cost of living are not low enough to make up that large of a difference.
I'm working on a 2-3 year plan to get my family out of WA State, though.

Well, this could be interesting.

It’s all there and the murals on the way to baggage claim tell the story.

this is literally the plotline of the new tv show, "Paradise."
They have to tell their plans otherwise it doesn't count.
Weird cabal.
OBK HELP!
Apparently ethnic studies degrees from an Ivy League school don't pay very well. Go figure. If only they went to the Economic School of Buck and speculated on Sugar Bowl tickets.https://lite.cnn.com/2025/05/05/business/student-debt-collections-delinquent
Federal student loans are due again. A record percentage of borrowers are seriously delinquent

About 4 million, or roughly one in five, federal student loan borrowers with a payment due are seriously delinquent, according to a new analysis published Monday by TransUnion.
Research from the information and insights company suggests that a significant number of Americans with student loan debt are not able to make payments, did not know payments were due or decided not to pay.
The findings come as the Department of Education has vowed to restart collecting federal student loans in default starting Monday following a Covid-era pause.
TransUnion found that as of February, a record 20.5% of student loan borrowers with a payment due are “seriously delinquent,” which is defined as 90 days or more past due. (The analysis only includes federal student loan borrowers and only those who are not in forbearance or deferment.)
It’s a sharp jump from February 2020 — just before the start of the pandemic — when 11.5%, or about 2.6 million, were seriously delinquent.
The previous record was set in September 2012 when 15.4%, or about 3.3 million, borrowers were 90 days or more past due.
The TransUnion analysis did not determine why a growing share of borrowers are behind on student loan debt.
TransUnion cautioned that its finding of one in five student loan borrowers seriously delinquent may actually understate the problem due to the complexity of the issue. The company said that some borrowers appear to be 90 days or more past due but have not yet been reported as seriously delinquent, likely because they are exploring repayment programs and other options.
The Covid-era pause on federal student loan payments ended in September 2023, and borrowers were shielded from the negative effects of a missed payment until October 2024.
Some student loan borrowers “may be overstretched” and face a “difficult financial situation,” Michele Raneri, vice president and head of US research and consulting at TransUnion, told CNN.
Indeed, 50.8% of subprime federal borrowers with past-due payments are considered seriously delinquent.
“Borrowers who have not been repaying will likely have to make a number of challenging budgeting decisions,” Raneri said.
Raneri cautioned that while some borrowers may be unable to pay, others may not know payments have resumed or even know how to make the payments. Others, she said, simply may not be willing to pay.
No matter the reason, falling behind on student loan debt is costly.
