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.

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

What a sad mess.

All and I do mean ALL conservative voters are reaping what they have sowed. It is a crop of blood, tears and indifference. They have NO ONE to blame but themselves. #schoolshooting
