To combat the high rate of death among slaves, plantation owners demanded females start having children at 13. By 20, the enslaved women would be expected to have about five children. —THREAD—

What’s the first word you think of when you see this woman?

Shall we?
Hey Brett Kavanaugh. Want to talk about affirmative action and student loans? Let’s examine how you got into Yale, shall we? During your Senate testimony, you said “I got into Yale Law School. That’s the No. 1 law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail in college.” But, like much of your testimony, this wasn’t exactly true. 👇 You see, we found a copy of a 1928 Yale yearbook and it turns out your grandfather Everett Edward Kavanaugh also attended Yale as an undergraduate student. So that makes you a legacy student a liar. So to recap, you got into your grandfather’s alma mater, then went to the Law School. That matters — because admission to an undergraduate institution can more than double a student’s chance of getting into that institution’s graduate schools. In 2011, Yale said that up to 25 percent of its students could classified as legacy students. Turns out, getting into college, especially Ivy League schools, is traditionally as much a matter of who you know as it is what you know. AOC said it best, “If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.” But of course you wouldn’t do that. It would mean you’d might have never gotten to the Supreme Court. It would have impacted the 70% of Harvard legacy students who are white - and harmed Harvard’s ability to rely on them as patrons. So how about we also ban legacy admissions and see how people like you fare without the privilege, shall we?

If you feel like you have to choose between Christ and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion - your Christ is not the biblical Jesus of Nazareth.

State Sen. @ShevrinJones says it right when he worries about the "unintended consequences" of the just-signed Florida #MedicalConscience Law. This legislation is narrow minded, self righteous, fear based, hate filled and neither USAmerican nor Christian. Period. Paragraph.

What do FL kids actually need? A fully-funded education system that supports educators. Unions for all school workers. The freedom of students and teachers to read, learn and think critically. And an end to child poverty.

Love this, @RevJesKast. Y'know, pastoring starts with meeting people where they are. Too bad some of us are stuck in the dark ages.
