Republicans used to tell us whistleblowers were all part of the Deep State. Now that a Democrat’s in the White House, I guess the whistleblowers all canceled their deep state memberships.

The Supreme Court of the United States Made America Great Again today! Even brother Thomas longs for the good old days when color blindness meant whites only.
In the wake of today’s Supreme Court decision effectively ending affirmative action in higher education admissions, this Administration is calling on colleges and universities to expand access to educational opportunity for all.

The odds have been stacked against working people for too long – we cannot let today's Supreme Court decision effectively ending affirmative action in higher education take us backwards.
We can and must do better.
DAMN: A Harvard alum just DESTROYED Justice Roberts and the Supreme Court's decision to end affirmative action at Harvard.
You have to read his accusation of why SCOTUS took away equity for Black & Brown: 👇🧵
"College was the only place left where their white-guy card couldn't get them through the door."
BAM! But he dug deeper, punishing the Republican-appointed majority by showing their true colors:
"SCOTUS was basically like 'Jared Kushner's daddy can pay Jared's way in... And it's ALL GOOD to let legacy students in — a long line of white rich kids benefitting from the systemic racism we helped create.
‘But GOD FORBID we allow a school to consider race!'"
RIGHT? Then he painted the big picture:
"First, right-wing Republicans put women in their place. Then they targeted us in the LGBTQ+ community. Now they're doing the same to Black and Brown people"
EXACTLY. But he has a way to fight back.
"They want to level the playing field in their ‘colorblind’ way? Fine.
“Let's challenge legacy college admissions too."
Who else likes this way to fight back? ✋
Read the full destruction of Justice Roberts on this horrible decision now. It's so good!👇🧵
Wow. Right wing leaders continue to tout Stalin, Hitler and Mao as examples of the direction they want to take the country in.
Liberty University's Ryan Helfenbein at the Faith and Freedom coalition gala said: "What we're discovering as parents and conservatives is education really is evangelism. So, if you don't control education, you cannot control the future. And Stalin knew that, Mao knew that, Hitler knew that. We have to get that back for conservative values."
This echoes the Adolf Hitler quote included in a recent Moms For Liberty newsletter. (h/t @Meidas_Brian23)
Republicans: we have to protect the children, that's why we support
-Kids getting married
-Forcing kids to give birth even when raped
-Protecting guns that kill them
-Child labor
-indoctrination w religion so they believe they'll burn in hell forever if they don't obey
Wait - hold up - this sub thing imploded after about 2 hours of being underwater and Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX says in that 2 hours, Joe Biden should have left the White House, sailed the 900 miles off the coast of the US, somehow dive down 13,000 feet and pull them up?
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign announcement plans were derailed Wednesday evening by massive technical glitches on Twitter that temporarily kept him from declaring his candidacy. #DeSaster

A TALE OF TWO DIFFERENT VISIONS FOR AMERICA:
Under Greg Abbotts leadership, Texas has banned more books than *any* state in America, while simultaneously suffering from an unprecedented epidemic of mass shootings.
At the same time, Abbott has cut hundreds of millions in mental health services, and refuses to enact *any* gun control, despite the vast majority being in favor of reasonable gun control.
Meanwhile, in Illinois, Governor @JBPritzker and Secretary of State @Giannoulias are leading by showing there’s a better way.
J.B. just passed an assault weapon ban, and Alexis first-in-the nation legislation to combat book bans by defunding book banners is setting an example for the rest of the country to follow.
The 2nd Amendment does *not* prohibit reasonable gun control.
The 1st Amendment *does* prohibit censorship.
As Alexi recently said, “ban the tools of war, not tools of education.”
Drop a ❤️ if you agree with Alexi @Giannoulias and @GovPritzker’s leadership and vision for America over Greg Abbotts.
The U.S. doesn't suffer from a higher incidence of mental illness than other countries.
What we do have is nearly half the privately-owned guns in the world, despite having just 4 percent of the world's population.
You have to be willfully ignorant to deny this as a big part of the explanation for why America has a dramatically higher number of gun deaths and incidents.
