Reparations are only “controversial“ and rebranded as “handouts” when it comes to BLACK PEOPLE.

BS: Right-wing SCOTUS knocked down affirmative action today at my alma mater Harvard for ONE reason:

College was the only place left where their white-guy card couldn't get them through the door.

"Affirmative action for me, but not for thee.

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!"

First right-wing Republicans put women "in their place". Then they targeted us in LGBT+ community. Now they're doing the same to Black and Brown people:

"GOD FORBID we talk about race in learning environments! And GOD FORBID we make that learning environment diverse!"

Let's get real.

Affirmative action was necessary because dumbass dudes got into college over more qualified people of color. Also, people of color didn't have the support that wealthy white kids got that could help them get into college – and they STILL don't.

SCOTUS just tried to erase reality.

But as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said in her dissent, "ignoring race just makes it matter more."

Let's fight back.

They want to level the playing field in their "colorblind" way? Fine.

Let's challenge legacy college admissions too.

Watch SCOTUS sweat as they decide on eliminating a REAL unjust system... knowing it will make admissions for white people plummet.

[Larry Huynh @larryhuynh]

HEY SCOTUS, great job showing us that justice is indeed blind… to the struggles of marginalized people.

This week’s decisions are a painful reminder that the fight for justice is FAR from over. Marginalizing people of color, the LGBTQ community, those with disabilities, and low-income families is abhorrent and unacceptable.

Our rights are being attacked, but we won’t stay silent!

Now more than ever, we must come together, raise our voices, and demand change. Let’s harness our collective power and VOTE in the 2024 election! Our future, our rights, and our dignity are up for grabs, and we cannot afford to let them slip away.

We need leaders who will champion equality, justice, and inclusivity. Leaders who understand the struggles we face and are committed to dismantling systems of oppression.

BREAKING: FOX “News” and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy are humiliated as the Republican-led House Ethics Committee announces that its 2-year investigation into California Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell found “no wrongdoing” on Congressman Swalwell’s part when he briefly met a woman who turned out to possibly be a Chinese spy.

The investigation found that Swalwell acted properly when he immediately ended the relationship and cooperated with the FBI upon finding out.

That’s right. House Republicans wasted million dollars of taxpayer dollars on a nothing-burger cooked up by the propagandists at FOX “News” — and Congressman Swalwell ended up being totally cleared by their own investigation today.

Swalwell just responded to the announcement:

“Nearly ten years ago, I assisted the FBI in their counterintelligence investigation of a campaign volunteer. The case and my assistance were briefed to Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and two years later, Republican Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, re-appointed me to the House Intelligence Committee. Neither Speaker questioned my actions nor politicized my cooperation. Despite the FBI repeatedly saying I was nothing but helpful and never accused of wrongdoing, this complaint was filed by a House Republican. ... If the intent in bringing this complaint and leveling false smears was to silence me that is not going to happen. I will continue to be a voice on behalf of my constituents and a passionate defender of democracy."

Please RT and ❤️ if you’re glad that Congressman Swalwell ended up getting the final laugh on Speaker Kevin McCarthy and FOX “News” — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter growing competitor that is growing like wildfire because it’s the opposite of Elon Musk’s MAGA Twitter.

Are Americans just waking up to this fact?

Say the name “Yoshihiro Hattori” and maybe 90% of Japanese will know and maybe 0% of Americans won’t … This was the Japanese foreign exchange HS student 30 years ago who simply went to the wrong door in Baton Rouge on Halloween night in a tuxedo. and was shot dead right then and there dead, the paranoid redneck shooter Pearce got off not guilty and never truly apologized for it. I think then and there many Japanese people’s impressions of America changed from positive to negative.

Does America know it has global bad breath?

Democracies embrace high voter turnout, not try to prevent it.

Meet Cleta Mitchell. She's a top GOP attorney, who spoke last week at a Republican National Committee retreat.

Mitchell told Republicans at the retreat that they need to 'combat' efforts being made to get college kids to vote. She is mad that it's easy for college kids to vote.

“We need to be looking at, what are these college campus locations and polling. What is this young-people effort that they do? They basically put the polling place next to the student dorms, so they just have to roll out of bed, vote, and go back to bed,” she told them.

“Wisconsin is a big problem because of the polling locations on college campuses. There are 501(c)(3)s. Their goal for the Supreme Court race was to turn out 240,000 college students in that Supreme Court race. And we don’t have anything like that, and we need to figure out how to do that and combat that,” she continued.

Note that this is the same woman who took part in the January 2021 call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, where Trump asked Raffensperger to “find” 11,000 more votes for him in the state.

I have just spent a night in MTG’s Georgia district For https://t.co/lpqp53OVVW. Lucky me. LOL. I wake up and find she has spent over $65,000 of donor funds building a new fence around her Georgia home that is located a mile from my hotel. MTG brags about how she is a millionaire and does not even need her Congressional salary. But instead of paying for her own fence. She is using donor funds. The costs of her fence alone Is higher than the median income in her Georgia district. I suppose it serves her donors right for being stupid enough to contribute to her. How long will it take before her Georgia district realize that MTG is an embarrassment to Georgia . It is time to get MTG out of Washington. Send her back home to Georgia where she can hide behind her expensive donor paid fence. And leave the rest of the country alone. @NewBlueGeorgia @NewBlueUSA #DemVoice1

@MZanona The GOP does realize that the budget authorization and the debt ceiling are 2 different things, right? Like, they're aware that the debt ceiling is just saying "yes, pay the bill for things you already bought" and NOT "can I buy it?"

Boosters sharply reduced COVID hospitalizations and ER visits. If you are not yet vaccinated or boosted, talk to your doctor.

If you don’t have a doctor, read what doctors groups like the American Medical Association and American Pediatric Association have said about vaccines.
