Affirmative Action asks schools to consider race as A factor in student admissions, so Black student population at elite institutions must be AMAZING!

Well...
Harvard 6.6%
Yale 6.5%
Brown 7.0%
Princeton 4.7%
Columbia 5.1%
Cornell 5.0%

I can see why folks want to get rid of it.

The founding fathers were worried that under Democracy, the poor might vote to make society more fair by redistributing wealth.

So they came up with this clever system where if people ever try to actually use democracy, judges will just tell them that's illegal and to fuck off.

The US has about 5% of the world’s population but almost HALF of the world’s civilian-owned guns. And where there are more guns, there are more gun deaths and suicides… Guns don’t make us safer.

It’s time for change… long past time.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

Guns are the leading cause of death among children in America. How can any politician say guns are not the issue? Congress members from places where mass shootings have happened should co-sponsor an assault weapons ban. Those who won’t are political accessories to the crimes.

@elizanhurd I have always felt that!

In Sweden, workers enjoy “fika” or coffee breaks during the day. More than a mad dash for caffeine, a fika is meant to be friendly, peaceful and social. It's a time to catch up with a friend or get to know someone. Grab your mug and try this break!

Just once I’d like to be walking through the woods on a fall day when without warning a seminarian runs up to me and hands me an urgent letter from the bishop requesting my help.
