The six Supreme Court Justices who voted to end affirmative action vs the three who did not.
Any questions?

[Uju Anya @UjuAnya]

While tempted to focus rage on Clarence Thomas for colluding to destroy affirmative action after making his whole career from it, remember white women benefit most from affirmative action than any other group, and Amy Coney Barrett climbed that ladder then snatched it back too.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

“There can be no excuse for the release of this armed and dangerous suspect after admitting to shooting an unarmed, non-threatening and defenseless teenager that rang his doorbell!”

Our offices have been retained to seek justice for Ralph Yarl. We demand immediate action.

[Peyton Headlee KCRA @PeytonKCRA]

“We are here because an injustice has happened.”

Hundreds of protestors walked to the house where 16-year-old Ralph Yarl was shot.

Yarl meant to go to a house on NE 115th Terrace to pick up a sibling, but went to 115th Street instead. The resident shot him in the head. @kmbc

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

NEW: Media are reporting that the Kansas City man who shot Ralph Yarl, 16, is white man in his 80s. He hasn't been re-arrested as investigators consider whether he's protected by Missouri’s “Stand Your Ground” law - a deadly law based in white supremacy.

Ralph Paul Yarl was picking up his two siblings. He went to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri. The White man who opened the door did not see a lost 16-year-old boy. He saw a threat. Shot Ralph, twice. Once in the head to kill him. Somehow Ralph survived. 1/

BREAKING: Racist Republicans gets terrible news as a majority of the Nashville Metropolitan Council announce that they will vote to reinstate Democratic lawmaker Justin Jones to the Tennessee state House after he was expelled for peacefully protesting against gun violence. RT TO THANK THE COUNCIL MEMBERS!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Are you fucking kidding me? Tennessee House Republicans Expel Rep. Justin Jones but NOT Rep. Gloria Johnson.

Can they be any more blatantly racist?

[Billy Baldwin @BillyBaldwin]

The GOP calls calls January 6th… sightseeing.
Holding Donald Trump accountable for his actions… injustice.
The expulsion of Black legislators in Tennessee for protesting gun violence… justified.

They are a racist, Christo-facist, authoritarian theocracy.
They have virtually no minority support and are losing women and young voters in droves.

GenZ gonna breakout a can a whoop ass on you come Election Day.

We at NAMIC NE find it incredibly important to be able to uplift the voices of women. So we wanted to continue the celebration of women by sharing some quotes that might inspire something in you or at least make you smile.

And as a reminder to #BreakTheBias

[NAMIC New England @NAMICNewEngland]

While technically #internationalwomensday was yesterday, at NAMIC NE, we feel as if the celebration shouldn't just stop. So we wanted to highlight a local event happening TOMORROW!
