Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
@jemelehill Dont MFL know their precious Civil War ( which I’m sure they love confederate flags ) was based off of violence? The Tea Party was an act of violence.
So, you are endorsing a man who started his political career with the birther movement?
You endorsed this. Imagine if Obama did any of these:
Financial Misconducts:
-Trump University: Trump faced a lawsuit for a fraudulent real estate seminar. Settled in 2018, he agreed to pay $25 million to former students.
-Trump Foundation: Closed in 2018 by NY authorities for illegal activities, including using charity funds for personal benefit.
-Trump SoHo: NYC luxury hotel accused of tax break violations by employing foreign workers. Case pending.
-Deutsche Bank: Loaned Trump billions, fined for money laundering. Investigated for potential Trump-Russia ties.
-Trump indicted by Manhattan grand jury for $130k hush money to Stormy Daniels pre-2016 election. 34 counts.
-Trump's exit: Takes $250m from followers for "defense" fund, uses it for personal bills. Doesn't help or pardon jailed followers.
-Trump investigated for "valuation fraud": overvaluing properties for loans, undervaluing for tax reduction. If guilty, faces criminal charges, financial penalties, potential public office ban.
Sexual Misconducts:
-Bragged publicly about entering the Miss Universe pageant backstage while contestants were changing, without their consent or knowledge.
-At least 18 women have accused Donald Trump of varying inappropriate behavior, including allegations of sexual harassment or sexual assault.
-Trump answers under oath in E. Jean Carroll lawsuit; she alleges 1990s sexual assault, he denies it. Sued for defamation, trial set for Feb 6. In deposition, used derogatory terms and threatened countersuit.
-Woman accusing Trump of raping her at 13 drops lawsuit. Listing Trump and Jefferey Epstein as defendants. Attorney Thomas Meagher files voluntary dismissal in NY district court. Her attorney, Lisa Boom, cited “numerous threats” against her client.
-Trump's vulgar comments about women; I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Bush: Whatever you want. Trump: Grab ’em by the p***y. You can do anything.
January 6th and Leaving Office Misconducts: -Tried and lost 60 court cases challenging the 2020 election results. Multiple recounts confirmed his loss in each state.
-Called GA Secretary of State asking for 11,780 votes on tape.
- Trump, aware of election loss, sent supporters to Capitol to stop certification, according to close sources. Told followers to "fight like hell," claimed love and support, but watched them on TV for 3 hours without intervening. He did not later bail or pardon any of them from prison.
- FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, suspecting Trump broke law by storing classified docs. Trump lied about having declassified them. Even tried to hide some. Over 15 boxes seized. Part of broader investigation into Trump's possible mishandling of classified info while in office. Concerns raised over political interference and possible violation of Presidential Records Act.
Russia Investigations:
-2014 His privileged son Eric Trump says they don't need US banks as they're funded by Russia; only the start.
- Junior cozied up to a Russian spy to dig up dirt on Clinton, while Daddy begged Russia to help him find her missing emails. It is no wonder Russia had their back, with a hefty misinformation campaign boosting their cause.
- And let us not forget the 199 criminal charges, 37 indictments, and 5 prison sentences that sprouted from the Russia investigation. Even his campaign manager was indicted, convicted, and then pardoned by him. And his NSA chief got caught promising to lift sanctions behind closed doors.
- But all of that pale in comparison to his fawning display at the Helsinki summit, where the whole world watched him pucker up and kiss Putin's behind while believing him over our own intelligence agencies.
- And a private meeting with Putin, sans transcripts and just a translator? Highly suspect.
- And when Russia attacked our energy sector, he did nothing. Zero. Zilch. Face it, folks
This is the very definition of corruption, and you endorsed it.
@ProfBlackistone you probably dont remember, but I met you in D.C. at a 7/11 one night in 2015 and told you about my high school daughter, who was competing in the Junior Olympics.
She’s now a senior at UNC Charlotte, running the 400M and she’s currently #13 in the country.
Watch as Uvalde police roughly remove the mother of one of the victims killed during the Robb Elementary School massacre.
They weren’t so tough when they stood around afraid to engage an active shooter who was murdering 19 children.
Biggest flex? 25 yrs as a RN, 16 as comic, earning a pilots license, vacations? Nope.

When you see your gym crush every time you’re there, she’s age appropriate, beautiful and committed to fitness. Then you discover that she’s a cougar hitting on all of the youngins in the gym.😔😂
If you have kids you can’t control or who you want to be “friends” with first expect a new man to come into your life to totally invest in them. If you they won’t listen to you… never mind.
If you are wearing a red hat, of a former President, that says “ I love America”. Yet you refuse to speak back to a fellow American, who served this county in the military, then you’re showing your racist side. Point blank.
