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.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Affirmative action
Student loan forgiveness
Granting business the right to refuse service to members of the LGBTQ community.
All gutted in just one week because of a conservative stacked Supreme Court who will be coming for interracial and same-sex marriages next.
Just an absolutely shameful day for American jurisprudence. Agree?
They said a couple named "Stewart and Mike" wanted a wedding website from the Christian web designer. But plot twist.... #LGBTQ https://t.co/6CkFRPEuco
@uche_blackstock "will have detrimental consequences for Black health for generations to come"
Which is exactly what Republican and xtian nationalism dark money bought and paid for.
#SCOTUSIsCorrupt#SCOTUSIsCompromised
NEVER FORGET: When Barack Obama was President, Mitch McConnell BLOCKED President Obama from having nomination hearings for SCOTUS for almost a year.
When Donald Trump was President, Sen Mitch McConnell rammed through 3 nominees that ALL perjured themselves under oath.
Absolutely. The #SCOTUS we have now has shown it's illegitimacy over and over. Waiting for them to die or retire is too long for them to continue their corrupt rulings that have been bought and paid for.
anytime i see one of these “lgb without the t” gays i think about the “association of german national jews,” a group of jews who stayed loyal to hitler hoping it would keep them in his good graces and after a few years he was like nice try! and put them all in concentration camps
@LakotaMan1 Remember. It's easy for him to forget where he came from when he sold his soul to wyt billionaires who pay him to lick their boot and fall in line.
@Stonekettle Imagine if a MAGgot walked into a VA hospital and said "if you use a CPAP machine you are <insert commie, weak, woke, etc>
They would be lucky to make it to the door alive
@OKWildlifeDept Coffee has water in it. It is bean water. Bean flavored water. The water that tastes like the zoomies beans. The yummy yummy no murder water
You know...
Five billionaires on a submarine was a good start.
Now let's figure out how to get the rest of them to not only off themselves but give us entertainment as they do it.
Starting with Apartheid Elon
I love the care I get at the @VAPugetSound. I love my medical providers there. If only the beaurocractic fuck wads of the greater VA actually listened to them and not (how much money goes out to pay a contractor to ignore the documentation of the VA doctors)
medical contractors
I hope every one of you bureaucratic assholes get to experience that same struggles that disabled veterans deal with every single day. I hope it causes you the same pain, hardships, and medical issues you want to deny veterans.
I hope all of you top level assholes suffer
@DeptVetAffairs I am going to vent because I am fucking pissed off...
I have service connected asthma related to my multiple deployments to the Middle East. And it is so bad I have multiple prescriptions and have to use a nebulizer four (4) times a day...
Nah...It's not that bad. 0%
Fuck your whole "we care about the veterans" bullshit. If you actually wanted to care about veterans, you would listen to your own doctors and not some contractor who does a ten minute record review and pass a decision on to you.
