So no affirmative action, no discrimination protections for same-sex couples, AND no debt forgiveness? This sucks
Another piece of news:
This court fucking sucks.
Not much we can do right now for college applicants of color, indebted graduates, or lgbt people facing discrimination from businesses, but we CAN donate to the Navajo water project https://www.navajowaterproject.org/
Happy Humiliation Day, everyone.
On this day, 99 years ago, my people were banned from Canada solely because of their race for 24 years. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1923 remains the first and only Canadian law to forbid people from entering Canada because of their ethnicity. For decades, thousands of families were separated; hundreds of Chinese Canadian men lost their lives to sinophobic hate or to suicide as they were forced to live in isolation in a country surrounded by colonizers who hated them.
On this day, we also remember the Indigenous people. When Chinese immigrants first came to Canada, it was the Indigenous peoples that took them in, sheltered them, and created communities (and families) with them. Beyond that, we are the ones who live on their land; we live on land that was stolen from their communities. We live on a land built on blood and genocide. In the past few years, tens of thousands of bodies of the Indigenous children that had been ripped from their homes have been recovered from the residential schools that stripped them of their identity, their culture, their dignity, and their lives.
For more actionable items, donate to Indigenous-led charities, buy from their creators, or educate yourselves on history (and don't just do it today - find ways to support them throughout the year if you're able):

ALTyknow sue me but I feel like this isn't actually true
hey we aren't told that isn't his name
maybe that's why Enjolras has so much faith in Marius as a potential revolutionary. a subconscious belief that sharing a name will unite them for the cause.
His full name is Jean-Combeferre Jean-Prouvaire Jean-Feuilly Jean-Courfeyrac Jean-Bahorel Jean-Legle Jean-Joly Jean-Grantaire Marius-Pontmercy Enjolras.
