Lmao. Honestly you start with wanting to make one small change but then you realized it’s all connected and systemic and you have to fight the entire system.

This is not a war. This is a genocide.

Post about Palestine like your life depends on it, because their lives depends on it.

Don't stop talking about Gaza. Push for a permanent ceasefire.

The Onion, ladies and gentlemen.

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

DC filling streets today demanding a #FreePalestine but you won’t see this on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CBS, ABC etc. Not one of their cameras out here. Cuz actual Palestinians are out here #EndIsraeliApartheid

if you got your news from The Five today, you'd have no idea that Dianne Feinstein died, New York is underwater, and the government will probably shut down on Sunday

NEW REPORT: The UN condemns the US prison system, stressing "that slavery... [has] no room in our world today, even for persons condemned for the most serious crimes" and calling for an end to prison slavery.

This is how the world sees us.

Iranian artist Mehdi Yarrahi was arrested and imprisoned simply for writing a song promoting women’s rights, and a woman’s right to choose how to dress.

He must be freed.

holy moly, child poverty rate rose from all-time low of 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% (!!!) in 2022, reflecting end of temporary child allowance and other programs.

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

I think what makes me the saddest is we have the resources to end poverty and homelessness tomorrow if we wanted to. We know exactly what works and how beneficial it is for people and our electeds just say no.

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

They've banned living in a tent, it's illegal to sleep in a car, and now it's illegal to try to live in an RV.

If you can't pay a mortgage or a landlord, it's illegal to exist in LA.

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

Rent is sky high, student loans + groceries eat up entire paychecks, climate emergency after climate emergency, no affordable health/mental health care, no work-life balance + mass violence + one mistake leaving you on the street will do that.

Doctors be like: Don’t confuse your Google search with my 4 years of Medical School

Patients be like: Don’t confuse your 4 years of Medical School with my 20 years of living with the fucking disease

Jack Dorsey who helped recruit and make sure Musk takes Twitter, mocking Twitter users to touch grass rather than protest the destruction of what had been a public square. Billionaires gonna billionaire.

[Ms. Andry Noir, PhD @keatingssixth]

Affirmative action taken away, LGBTQ discrimination supported, student loan debt forgiveness blocked, Elon controlling how much information we see on a public social media app.

All within a few days. Y’all a revolution gotta be around the corner cause they not gonna stop.

[Ryan Shead @RyanShead]

What todays Supreme Court rulings mean for the LGBTQ community and it’s supporters:

Someone walks into your business with a MAGA hat on…no service.

Someone walks in with a gun hanging from their hip…no service.

Someone walks in wearing transphobic merch…no service.

Someone walks in with Jesus loves me on their shirt…no service.

Someone walks in wearing the confederate flag…no service.

It’s time to fight fire with fire. 🔥

Thinking of my sister today. Harvard was a singular obsession with my mom during my childhood and it became my sister’s singular obsession throughout her short life. It became my own source of insecurity as a 2.8 GPA Asian (we exist) who sucked at math and standardized tests.

Maybe it’s a Gen X thing but she never once felt entitled to Harvard or worried that someone else would “take her spot” because she was in competition with herself.

Needless to say, losing her impacted our whole family. In our own ways we all stopped giving a fuck about Harvard.

So hello AAPI. I get where the obsession for elite schools as access points to the American Dream comes from. Been there, done that.

All this to say this obsession with elite schools without understanding this country’s history makes first generation immigrants easy targets for Edward Blum and friends without knowing who he even is.

It’s in their interest to see their fear of “demographic change” fighting each other for scraps because the idea of a more inclusive society for all is happening and it means a loss of control.

This is what this SCOTUS win for them was about. So feel how you want but just know that being used as a model minority tool is a choice.

[5hahem @shaTIRED]

someone stitched my tiktok about not paying student loans and said not to do it. she’s a single mom and missed payments to feed her children. they garnished her wages, took her tax returns for years.

she took out $11k in loans. she paid upwards of $60k+. she owes $9k still.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

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.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Justice Jackson, dissenting: "Our country has never been colorblind. Given the lengthy history of state-sponsored race-based preferences in America, to say that anyone is now victimized if a college considers whether that legacy of discrimination has unequally advantaged its applicants fails to acknowledge the well-documented 'intergenerational transmission of inequality'
that still plagues our citizenry.

"It is that inequality that admissions programs such as UNC's help to address, to the benefit of us all. Because the majority's judgment stunts that progress without any basis in law, history, logic, or justice, I dissent."
