The Supreme Court just ruled that racial preferences (i.e., affirmative action) violate the CONSTITUTION. If you are a victim of racist policies at a university, corporation, or workplace, contact us at https://t.co/EbmV3dfcDg or 1-877-AFL-5454.
OPB was able to review a private law enforcement group on Facebook.
We found that Newport, Oregon, Mayor Dean Sawyer - a former police officer - has been posting hateful content since at least 2016. https://t.co/wa7le4RQTI
A program originally designed to address the specific, explicit racism against enslaved Africans & their descendants is not racist against other groups. This is an intentionally obtuse & convenient way of evaluating policies in nation where only 1 grp experienced chattel slavery.
So the same Supreme Court Justices who have been accepting lavish gifts, fancy trips, mortgage, credit card & country club payments and private school tuition from Republican mega-donors, used a fraudulent case invented by a bigoted woman in order to allow businesses to openly discriminate against LGBT people?
And we’re NOT supposed to question their legitimacy?
Yeah F*ck that.
Exciting news for Oregon!🌐📶
I'm thrilled to announce Oregon will receive $689 million from the federal government to expand internet access across our state.
This investment will help Oregonians to access telehealth, education, business opportunities & more.
From hundreds & hundreds of Trump supporters this week, I’ve gotten this: “See Joe, it was all just a hoax. Fuck off.”
And I’ve responded with, “What was a hoax?”
1. Russia fucked with our election to try to help Trump win. That’s no hoax.
2. Team Trump welcomed & encouraged the help. That’s no hoax.
3. Team Trump tried to collude with Russia. That’s no hoax.
4. Trump repeatedly obstructed the investigation into what Russia did. That’s no hoax.
5. The FBI had no choice but to investigate. That’s no hoax.
What was the hoax?
There’s something people are missing about what happened in Tennessee.
This was personal.
Rep. Justin Jones didn’t only protest for stronger gun safety. He was the activist who played a role in the bust of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest being taken down from
the Tennessee Capitol.
In February 2019, Rep. Jones, then an unelected activist, staged a protest at the Tennessee state Capitol where he demanded the removal of a the former Ku Klux Klan leader before being arrested.
The statue was finally removed in 2021. However, it seems some relics of the past remain.
Elie Mystal: "Tennessee has now given the entire country an object lesson in critical race theory better than any AP history course ever could have. Everybody sees it now. Everybody knows it now. Everybody gets exactly what is going on." https://t.co/RdYLvfum24
POETIC JUSTICE!!! A Central Park Five member has taken out a full page ad on Trump 34 years after he called for them to be put to death!
Yusef Salaam, one of the exonerated teenagers, wrote that since Trump is “arrested and arraigned, here is my response:”
The ad goes:
“If the charges are proven and you are found guilty, I hope that you endure whatever penalties are imposed with the same strength and dignity that the Exonerated Five showed as we served our punishment for a crime we did not commit.”
In 1989, Trump famously took an ad to call for the punishment of five Black and Latino teenagers, who were wrongfully imprisoned for the rape of a white woman in New York’s Central Park that they did not commit.
Talk about justice!!
This is Kansas House Speaker Daniel Hawkins (R). He just passed a new anti-LGBTQ bill that allows for forced genital inspections of children in order for them to play sports.
Republicans are currently working to pass these types of bills across the country.
Again...
Left: White woman Riley June Williams stormed the Capitol & directed a mob toward Pelosi
•3 years prison
Right: Black woman named Crystal Mason filed a provisional ballot on the advice of a poll worker
•5 years prison
The system isn’t broken—it’s working as intended
@JoJoFromJerz No! This should have been over when he came down the elevator and said those awful racist troupes about Mexicans. But.....crickets and now wyte supremacy is the law of the land with the maga clowns.
I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?
Yes! We must investigate the security breach at the Capitol today. I warned our Caucus and had an hour long conversation with the Chief of Police 4days ago. He assured me the terrorists would not be allowed on the plaza & Capitol secured. What the hell?
