So much this ….

🚨🚨🚨Holy shit: A mom stood up at her school board meeting and delivered an AMAZING speech expressing frustration that conservative extremists were interfering with her child’s education. Adrienne Martin of Granbury, Texas, boldly confronted the school board and held nothing back: Here is what Adrienne Martin told her school board: 👇 "I do not want random people with no education background or experience determining what books my child can read, what curriculum they learn, and what clubs they can join.  Just because you can get up at every meeting and rant and rave does not give you authority over my child's education.  Your personal religious beliefs- people in this room and on this board- should not be affecting my child's education either. Our schools are not to be used for personal political agendas. And our children are here for education, not religious indoctrination.   I implore the board to put an end to trying to appease these extremists. Focus on retaining staff, providing excellent public education, and a safe and welcoming learning space for all students.  The speakers speaking about what great Christians they are... Great! Go tell your pastor. Our schools are not your church.  Thank you."  🔥🔥🔥 Thank you to this BRAVE mom for speaking out! 

They keep saying this over and over again. Believe them when they tell you who they are.

So forgiving PPP loans is capitalism — but forgiving student loans is socialism?

To recap, this MAGA Supreme Court has: 1. Allowed states to criminalize abortion even in cases of rape, incest 2. Allowed businesses to discriminate against gay people 3. Cost 26 million Americans $10k overnight 4. Denied higher education opportunities to people of color

That part:

This two bit, self loathing, sycophantic, white supremacy apologizing, uncle ruckus, benefited from race-based preferences throughout his entire career, yet sided with conservatives to overturn affirmative action. Clarence Thomas was admitted to Holy Cross in 1968 in part because the school was actively looking for Black students. He was admitted to Harvard Law School in 1971 right after it adopted a “race conscious“ admissions policy, but chose to go to Yale at the exact moment it created its first explicit affirmative action program with a goal of 10% minority enrollment. Thomas was one of 12 Black students in the class of 175. His application was evaluated separately and he received special consideration because he was Black. When Thomas left Yale he was hired by John Danforth, the Attorney General of Missouri. Danforth admitted it was because he was seeking to have a diverse office and that Clarence Thomas was hired because he was Black. Thomas left Danforth’s office to work for Monsanto at a time when the company was looking to hire Black lawyers. He went back to work for Danforth when he was a US senator and was looking to diversify his staff. He then went to work for Reagan’s Department of Education and was offered the job in part because he was Black. He then became chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a position that six Black women turned down before he accepted it. His entire career was a result of affirmative action. This man epitomizes hypocrisy and has always been an enemy to Black progress in this nation. #SCOTUS #AffirmativeAction

I hope people are paying attention to what's happening in Missouri right now - where the state AG is holding up a pro-choice ballot measure by claiming that it would cost the state BILLIONS of dollars to restore abortion rights missouriindependent.com/2023…

Wow……

Cut this “sad day for America” bullshit. The only thing sad about this day is that a piece of trash got to walk out of the courthouse for crimes infinitely more serious than ones people of color are imprisoned pending trial over.

Imagine how many lives we would save if we acted as quickly to address gun violence as we do to expel Black men who speak the truth boldly and unapologetically.

We just decided that @MSNBC needs to sell a @SteveKornacki Bobblehead doll and give the proceeds to the charity of their choice.
