Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

Omg #juryduty on Prime is so good. I binged it all this morning and cackled. Ronald Gladden seems like such a perfect human. Literal golden retriever of a human

Yes that was by design. Abortion will always be accessible to women in higher socioeconomic statuses. These laws disproportionately harm low income women and keep the poor in cycles of poverty. Repro choice brings opportunities to improve their lives. F*CK the GOP

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

But while many women have been able to travel to states where abortion is legal, those journeys come with a high price tag making such an option inaccessible to many low-income patients who can’t cover the costs or take time off work. https://t.co/AxLJTA9hCC

@EmbryEthan As a lawyer it blows my mind that the justices of our highest court are held to a lesser ethical standard than everyday members of the Bar.

This story is so incredible and really brings home how important it is to protect indigenous communities and their histories/knowledge/traditions 🇨🇴

— In Aug. or Sep. 2021, Trump showed a representative of his PAC a classified map related to a military operation

This whole entire thread is WILD

[fooler initiative @metroadlib]

I LITERALLY stopped working on my memo so I could read this indictment.

I am on page 24 and JESUS LUPITA NYONG'O CHRIST.

HOW this man still has the capacity to shock me after everything that's happened, i'll never know.

but I am sitting here *STUNNED*.

@Gamer4Lyfe87 @ParallaxStella @DirkZiggler2 Literally no one finds this attractive. Y’all watch to much porn and forget how life is in the real world. There is never a time when a woman feels safe after a stranger creepily (even if it’s in jest) asks for her number like this. You’re the problem.

[MeL.A. @puppucin0]

@Spasesrun @axidias @RobertPet73 @uncleDavid2 @ewarren Ah so you agree that biological males are the actual threats to the safety of women. Like we’ve been saying all along, it’s not trans people, it’s males. Maybe you should do a better job controlling them, first.

@420dailygamer @ParallaxStella @DrLupo @StJudePLAYLIVE So wild of you to interject with an opinion that absolutely no one values in any way shape or form.

@pikabooger @toeJamAndJay1 @krassenstein Or Texas bad where children are murdered in schools, or Tennessee bad where children are murdered in schools, or Alabama bad where children are murdered at birthday parties, or Kentucky bad where people are murdered at banks?

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

People who grew up with chronically impatient parents become terrified of making mistakes. Or of taking any action at all. They internalize the belief that they must be perfect.

This becomes adult procrastination or “analysis paralysis.”

The body remembers being hurried and rushed at a time when we needed to be soothed and encouraged.

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.

The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

BREAKING: Ke Huy Quan just won an #Oscar at the Academy Awards for best supporting actor for his role in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'

"Mom, I just won an Oscar!!"

For those unaware Ke Huy Quan spent a year with his family in a Hong Kong refugee camp before arriving in the United States of America in 1979.

What an incredible comeback and incredible story.
