Yes, the Republican National Committee did indeed post a Fourth of July tweet with the WRONG flag. In case you��re wondering, this is the flag of Liberia, a country in West Africa.
You can’t make this shit up. 🙄
Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour. And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore!! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???
It is very important to note this SCOTUS ruling does NOT remove Biden’s ability to pursue student loan forgiveness.
The Biden Admin can use the HEA (Higher Ed Act) - our position from the start - to continue loan forgiveness before payments resume. They should do so ASAP.
Clarence Thomas.
You just voted to gut affirmative action and student loan forgiveness.
Let’s take a look how you got into Yale, shall we?
During your 58-page concurring opinion, you wrote that the foundational policies of affirmative action "fly in the face of our colorblind Constitution and our Nation's equality ideal.”
But Justice Thomas, we did a little digging and it turns out that Yale university followed an affirmative action policy at the time you attended its law school.
There’s more.
In 1991 a New York Times article about you reported that Yale University officials confirmed you were admitted to its law school "under an explicit affirmative action plan with the goal of having blacks and other minority members make up about 10 percent of the entering class."
It appears clear from the testimony of Yale officials that your admission to the Yale School of Law was made at the time of affirmative action policies and was almost certainly influenced by it.
We should also mention that
you secretly accepted $150,000 in tuition payments from rightwing billionaire Harlan Crowe, but you just voted to strike down loan forgiveness for students who need it.
There is something absolutely tragic about the fact that the benefits of
affirmative action helped create a Justice Thomas who will now deny many young African American talented individuals the same opportunity.
Justice Thomas, if you’re so against affirmative action, I suggest you resign from the Bench.
The same Supreme Court which decided that it is not in fact, a violation of Constitutional rights to strip women of their bodily autonomy thinks it just might be a violation to stop domestic abusers from purchasing guns.
So a woman who has been raped by her abusive husband will potentially have less access to an abortion than the man who raped her will have to a gun.
Hey Brett Kavanaugh.
Want to talk about affirmative action and student loans?
Let’s examine how you got into Yale, shall we?
During your Senate testimony, you said “I got into Yale Law School. That’s the No. 1 law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail in college.”
But, like much of your testimony, this wasn’t exactly true. 👇
You see, we found a copy of a 1928 Yale yearbook and it turns out your grandfather Everett Edward Kavanaugh also attended Yale as an undergraduate student.
So that makes you a legacy student a liar.
So to recap, you got into your grandfather’s alma mater, then went to the Law School.
That matters — because admission to an undergraduate institution can more than double a student’s chance of getting into that institution’s graduate schools.
In 2011, Yale said that up to 25 percent of its students could classified as legacy students.
Turns out, getting into college, especially Ivy League schools, is traditionally as much a matter of who you know as it is what you know.
AOC said it best, “If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.”
But of course you wouldn’t do that. It would mean you’d might have never gotten to the Supreme Court. It would have impacted the 70% of Harvard legacy students who are white - and harmed Harvard’s ability to rely on them as patrons.
So how about we also ban legacy admissions and see how people like you fare without the privilege, shall we?
