Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

@KariLake @katiehobbs You're a poor excuse for an Arizonan. You are certainly not normal and you are possessed by the spirit of deceit, causing you to vomit up lies.

Repent. I will pray for you.

Fun Fact. What was Nile Rogers's inspiration behind writing Diana Ross’ classic hit “I'm Coming Out”

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

“I was on my usual running path when I heard an older man yelling loudly enough for me to hear through my headphones. "Sexy lady, hey hey hey sexy lady!" He kept screaming it and I decided to just ignore him and keep running.

This ignoring seemed to piss him off so he lashed out and said "eff you, dumb B****!" Now let's keep in mind he was well-dressed and appeared to be on his lunch break from an office job.

That was my trigger point. The B word. I ripped off my headphones prepared to stand up for myself when this little boy who was walking alongside his mother and little sister in a stroller looked at the guy and said, "Hey. That is not nice to say to her and she didn't like you yelling at her. You shouldn't do that because she is a nice girl and I don't let anyone say mean things to people. She's a girl like my sister and I will protect her."

The man was immediately embarrassed and started gathering his lunch to leave. I asked the mother if I could hug the little boy (his name is James) and I told him how grateful I was for him. He just shrugged and said "Well I just wanted to make sure your heart was okay."

According to his mother, this is a typical day in the life of James. Thank you so much to the mothers and fathers who are raising the next generation to be brave and courageous, and to be little earth angels for all. I am so touched.”

@CoolHipgrandma @DrDinD @JoseArmand37 What actually occurs in nature doesn't matter to them. Only legal words do.

[Roger Tang @gwangung]

@DrDinD A: You can make a mess and not have to clean it up.

B: Our man made definition is what matters, and not what happens in the real word.

@lewdennen @JTAnews If people say racist and fascist things, then maybe those people need to be listening to THEMSELVES.

And make no mistake....there's been a lot of fascist an racist things being said.

@QPsyOps @onelegtwowheels @CAkashova @BrentJesien @gardenqueen55 @Travis_in_Flint Given that this is a TREATY, the Founding Fathers DID speak. FOR THE ENTIRE DAMN COUNTRY.

You are pretty damn ignorant.

@Philip_Germain @GlennYoungkin The real message of @GlennYoungkin is "“this is the sort of sloppy incompetence I surround myself with so vote for me!”

What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.

@reappropriate Damn straight.

Now tell the whippersnappers, get off my lawn.

[Roger Tang @gwangung]

@shoulder_roll @reappropriate Buzz off, son.

You're bothering folks.

@travel_wins @Joe_the_L @MagicBranch That's because much of the public are cheap SOBs. Are you one as well?

Look at the differential between the studio and the writers---why are you siding with the ones with far bigger compensation?

BREAKING: Donald Trump is humiliated as a leaked tape emerges of him completely freaking out on a reporter aboard his plane after a campaign rally in Waco. NBC News' Vaughn Hillary mentioned that Trump was "frustrated" with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's investigation.

"Don't ask me any more questions!" Trump lashed out.

"I don't want to talk to you," Trump said when questioned again. “Do you hear me? You’re not a nice guy."

The journalist refused to abandon the line of questioning and Trump finally lost it, grabbed the man's two phones, and hurled them aside.

“Alright, let’s go, get him out of here. Outta here. Outta here,” Trump said to his aides, at which point they told the reporter that he was "done."

Once again, we see that Donald Trump has the temperament of an angry child. How can anyone think that a "man" like this should be in control of the nuclear button?

Retweet if nothing in this world could ever convince you to vote for Trump!

@motherlibertas @RockwallBlue @GeorgeSpies8 @ask_aubry As someone who DID specialize in statistical methodology, this is a rather unscientific take that fails to take in alternative hypotheses.

Y'all trying to make excuses for that monster dunk that rattled your cage--weeeeak.

It was 50 yrs ago that my mom immigrated from South Korea to America despite not knowing anyone else in the entire western hemisphere of Earth. Tonight I got to bring her to the White House for the State Dinner between the US and South Korea. I feel blessed to share this moment.

@davidrisley @AdamKinzinger What makes you think there's no accounting?
