If legacy admits are deemed Constitutional at universities, then admits based on being a descendant of slavery should be as well. Especially at universities such as UNC and Harvard that were financed by slave money and that prohibited descendants from enrolling.

Justice Thomas doesnโ€™t understand the meaning of diversity nor does he understand the benefits of a diverse student body. My God.

Can Democrats run non-stop Pete Buttigieg campaigns up to election day?... Thanks.
Quote Tweet
Take a sec to watch @PeteButtigieg call out DeSantis and other Republicans. "...It's another to just call attention to a problem because the problem is actually more useful to you than the solution. And that helps you call attention to yourself." โ€˜

People are getting mad about my "But the price of gas" tweets. Too bad. The same nation that blew the GOP out over Watergate in 1974 by 17 pts and 49 seats now can't even keep the party of January 6 out of power because of inflation. (Which was TWELVE percent in '74.) Shameful.

"The 2022 midterms are a referendum on how well America's newsrooms have conveyed the authoritarian threat to the voting public. Studies show that the issues most important to voters closely match which issues the media's been covering."

This type of rhetoric is dangerous, for America, but more urgently, for . This type of rhetoric, accusing her of stoking white genocide, incites violence. It should be UNACCEPTABLE.

Tucker Carlson went full nazi going after Tiffany Cross, a black MSNBC host. Tucker directly invoked the blood libel in graphic terms and described white women as the key to the "white race."

If you pay attention to the right wing attack on & , itโ€™s nothing more than a different, more explicit angle of the white genocide/Great Replacement Theory Theyโ€™re ginning up fear literally by just using clips that include the words โ€œwhite peopleโ€

The attacks on @TiffanyDCross by @megynkelly and Tiff & @JoyAnnReid by @TuckerCarlson in the past week is evidence that Tiffany is successfully hitting her mark. Tiffany is hitting the right wingers with the same ferociousness they are accustomed to dishing, but not taking. 2/10

The silence from too many about this this openly racist targeting of is appalling. The fact that the nation's most watched "news" channel is allowed to spew open white supremacy night after night is a sign of a society in deep peril.Too much complicity all around.
Quote Tweet
Got to be one of the most racist things on US TV in 50 years. Carlson talking about white women "as the key to reproducing the white race," and claiming black people are targeting white women for that reason. Adds that a black anchor "can barely speak a coherent sentence."
