“if we the people work, organize, resist, come together for peace, racial, social and sexual justice, it'll get better. It’ll get better” -Sonia Sanchez
@johnrich Wow! People are dumb! It’s the exact same thing as the old *test of he emergency broadcast system* that we used to get on our tvs. Now it’s all streaming tv, so this ensures that it reaches everyone. I can’t with the conspiracy theory crap.
Laura Ann Carleton was a mother of nine. She was a beloved shopkeeper in Lake Arrowhead, CA. And she was shot and killed for standing up as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
Her crime in the eyes of the murderer? Officials say he "made several disparaging remarks about a rainbow flag” outside her store before shooting her. Her killer died later in an encounter with police.
This is the result of the hate they spew. An innocent woman, a gentle and loving soul, has lost her life. My heart aches for her family in the wake of this horrific murder.
Those responsible go beyond the murderer. Every anti-LGBTQ politician, bigoted pundit, and right-wing hate monger has Laura Carleton’s blood on their hands.
@HilarieBurton The best part is that both of them would’ve gone to the movie with the other one just because they love each other. There’s still would’ve been lots of grumbling from both of them. Peyton would’ve enjoyed the feminism in Barbie & Brooke would’ve found something enlightening too.
I’m a feminist, but when @GavinDeGraw says “Imma recommend you take that body to the other end. I really like you, but I can’t be friends. Not with these hands of mine.” I…um…🫠
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.
@DramaQueensOTH when we get to the episode, can we please discuss why the heck Brooke never got a shot at Doctor Ethan?!? The chemistry!! #hotdoctorethan
