A THREAD!
Overturning Roe v. Wade and eliminating affirmative action in higher education had been leading goals of the conservative legal movement for decades.

if you're going to the lake to be a miscreant-sunburned-hooligan and do miscreant-sunburned-hooligan things this weekend, THE LEAST you can do is take your miscreant-sunburned-hooligan trash with you when you go home.
(Falling to my knees, begging, pleading)
Please.
Folks, seriously.
PLEASE.
Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.
Some of the same elected Republicans who voted to overturn my student loan relief plan benefitted from thousands in pandemic relief loans to keep their own businesses open.
Those loans were forgiven.
Now, they refuse to extend the same relief to borrowers with student debt.
$760 billion in PPP loans were forgiven.
That’s $360 billion more than this Administration’s student debt relief program.
And, several Republican members of Congress who opposed student debt relief benefited from those PPP loans.
❗️UPDATE ON BRING CHANEL HOME ❗️

The Biden-Harris Administration is taking action in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to effectively end affirmative action in higher education admissions.
We will continue to fight to keep the doors of opportunity open to every American.
