If you had told me that even in this cruel world a modern state would get away with slaughtering over ten thousand children in ten weeks, while still retaining the support of most western governments and blanket cover from the mainstream media I simply wouldn't have believed you... #GazaGenocide

Why is this so difficult to understand?

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Trans rights are human rights and we must ALWAYS stand with our trans siblings in the fight for liberation 🏳️‍⚧️✊🏾

[Sarah Silverman @SarahKSilverman]

The people that think misinformation and spreading lies is “free speech” have banned hundreds of books. More books than any of these grifters will ever read in their shitty cunty homophobic hate-fueled lifetimes.

SCOTUS: We exist to defend rights for all people in America!!

Students?

SCOTUS: Except them

LGBTQ people?

SCOTUS: Except them

Migrants seeking asylum?

SCOTUS: Except them

Women seeking healthcare?

SCOTUS: Except them

Then who?

Rich white MAGAs rejected from Harvard.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Discrimination is wrong.

Using religion as an excuse to discriminate is wrong - and unconstitutional.

The Court’s minority is right: the Constitution is no license for a business to discriminate.

Today’s ruling will move America backward.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Affirmative action was never about admitting unqualified Black kids. It was always about ensuring qualified Black kids could also get accepted despite a world of systemic racism.

The “unqualified admission” you’re thinking of are legacy students—like how Kavanaugh got into Yale.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Affirmative Action still stands today, they’re called “Legacy Admissions.”

SCOTUS struck down Affirmative Action for non-white applicants.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

I need folks who are not LGBTQ to understand that today's ruling is not just about a website. It is a clear sign that Obergefell (same sex marriage) and Bostock (LGBTQ employment protections) are in danger of being overturned. This is a devastating ruling. Please understand that.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

Student loan forgiveness is opposed by boomers who come from an era when families could afford homes on only one income and college tuition was still relatively cheap — change my mind.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

Jesus fucking Christ.

Affirmative action

Student loan forgiveness

Granting business the right to refuse service to members of the LGBTQ community.

All gutted in just one week because of a conservative stacked Supreme Court who will be coming for interracial and same-sex marriages next.

Just an absolutely shameful day for American jurisprudence. Agree?

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

Wow. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissent.

[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.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

So let me get this straight. Ron DeSantis’ campaign strategy is to deny birthright citizenship to immigrants, in a nation that was founded by undocumented immigrants — from Europe?

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

MAGA: “Why do the gays get the month of June and veterans only get a day?”

Me: “May was National Military Appreciation Month. Thanks for remembering.”

— crickets

[The Church Of Satan @ChurchofSatan]

Here is your unfortunately needed reminder that religion has no place in politics.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

The target is not Christians, it’s Christian nationalism.

It’s not white people, it’s white supremacy.

It’s not heterosexuals, it’s homophobia.

It’s not men, it’s patriarchy.

So don’t take it personally; join the work and dismantle the oppressive systems.
