#Hegseth HIMSELF is a "meritless" #WhiteAffirmativeAction hire.

Wildly unqualified... the very thing the #RacistInChief accuses "#DEI" hires of being... was hired purely b/c #DonnieDumbass liked the way he looked on TV. 🤦‍♂️ #AntiDiscriminationPolicy

@RepShontelBrown
IS IT JUST ME, or has the #SCotUS just ruled to overturn what should have been two easily winnable cases???

They just re-legalized #WhitesOnly lunch counters with #SmithVColorado, and carved out an exclusion for #WhiteAffirmativeAction ("Legacies" & "Wealth")... all while declaring they don't need an #EthicsCode.

@Orange_light @QasimRashid
Different institutions used different criteria for *their* definition of #AffirmativeAction.

But yesterday's ruling by the #SCotUS didn't simply set a single standard to clear up any confusion/dispute (which would of been the right thing to do), and instead simply abolished "racial" balancing entirely… while leaving #WhiteAffirmativeAction… #Legacy admissions and #Wealthy #donor preferences in place.
