Unsurprised that the conservative majorty on this Supreme Court struck down affirmative action. I'm Anti-surprised, in fact. They'll likely do the same thing to student debt relief, later today or tomorrow.

It'll take about 3 years to see the full effects of today's decision across the higher education landscape; these justices won't care then, either.

If you want real remedies for centuries of inequity, inequality, and injustice, this court isn't where you need to go.

Hit the ballot box, the city council chambers, or the streets, instead.

What a sad mess.

Gonna try to stay offline for a while today.

Before I go, though, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent in today's affirmative action decision starts on page 209, here:

And you should really read it.

Useful trick, add #page=209 to the end of the URL makes it jump automatically there:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/20-1199_hgdj.pdf#page=209
like so. You can edit your post to add that in, and thanks for giving this information!
@ncweaver i don't have edit functionality, and i am genuinely not in the headspace. Have a good day.
