Hey Brett Kavanaugh.
Want to talk about affirmative action and student loans?
Let’s examine how you got into Yale, shall we?
During your Senate testimony, you said “I got into Yale Law School. That’s the No. 1 law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail in college.”
But, like much of your testimony, this wasn’t exactly true. 👇
You see, we found a copy of a 1928 Yale yearbook and it turns out your grandfather Everett Edward Kavanaugh also attended Yale as an undergraduate student.
So that makes you a legacy student a liar.
So to recap, you got into your grandfather’s alma mater, then went to the Law School.
That matters — because admission to an undergraduate institution can more than double a student’s chance of getting into that institution’s graduate schools.
In 2011, Yale said that up to 25 percent of its students could classified as legacy students.
Turns out, getting into college, especially Ivy League schools, is traditionally as much a matter of who you know as it is what you know.
AOC said it best, “If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.”
But of course you wouldn’t do that. It would mean you’d might have never gotten to the Supreme Court. It would have impacted the 70% of Harvard legacy students who are white - and harmed Harvard’s ability to rely on them as patrons.
So how about we also ban legacy admissions and see how people like you fare without the privilege, shall we?
A heart-breaking moment saved in an SS picture of deportations of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It was taken 79 years ago, most likely in late May 1944.
A little child found a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy. All the people in this picture were waiting to be killed in gas chamber. They were murdered some time later.

My trip home to Ireland embodied céad míle fáilte – a hundred thousand welcomes.
It’s been great to see so many old friends and family – and make some new ones.
Like my Grandfather used to say: “If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough.”
