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.

That part:

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

During the 1940s it was rare for a black person to have control over large amounts of land.

In 1944, a group of white men brutally lynched Rev. Isaac Simmons, a Black minister & farmer, so they could steal his land in Amite County, Mississippi which was over 270 acres

Herschel Walker is losing among Black voters. But some Georgia conservatives are backing the former football star for one key reason: Senate control.

Unbelievable 👀

[Jen Psaki @jrpsaki]

Holy moly siena/NYT poll “more than a third of independent voters and a smaller but noteworthy contingent of Democrats said they were open to supporting candidates who reject the legitimacy of the 2020 election…” as they focus on economic issues

If investigators find DeSantis misused federal money, Florida may very well receive a multi-million-dollar bill from Uncle Sam. (via @MaddowBlog) https://t.co/AOixeMfipO
