"MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — A tenant advocate was arrested during a mass protest in New York City Thursday evening meant to disrupt the ceremony where Gov. Andrew Cuomo was being honored as a "master builder."
Gubernatorial hopefuls Cynthia Nixon and Jumaane Williams addressed hundreds of protesters who gathered outside the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue to demand Cuomo take action against what they called a state-wide housing crisis.
"[Cuomo] has made his choice, he has picked his side," Nixon said Thursday. "He has surrounded himself with real estate developers, corporate landlords, Wall Street hedge fund moguls who are some of his biggest campaign contributors."*
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) spoke on the House floor today about creating a commission to investigate the events on and the events and activities surrounding and leading up to January 6, 2021 at the Captiol Building. Republicans are not in favor of creating such a commission, because they’ve decided that it’s better to act insane at every turn. Truly. They don’t want any more of their supporters and, really, any more of the lawmakers in their party to be exposed or arrested.
Emma Vigeland comments that Rep. Ryan knows perfectly well that he can’t expect bipartisan cooperation on something like this. This speech was performative, as he’s running for the Senate. That doesn’t make it any less true, however — the Benghazi hearings were never ending, incredibly expensive, and politically motivated, and they didn’t even hold any real promise of making the country safer. Looking into the people involved in the events of January 6, however, and finding out how coordinated their efforts were, who the people in leadership positions are, and where all of the breakdowns in security were and who was responsible for those — these are things that intelligence agencies have already been working on and that lawmakers should be looking at as well. Oh well, though. The GOP would rather wait until something worse happens and they’re truly forced to form a simple committee.

Kid Rock posted a video of himself shooting Bud Light cans in an apparent response to Anheuser-Busch's partnership with a transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. In the video, Rock, who is wearing a Make America Great Again hat, says, "Grandpa's feeling a bit frisky today," before opening fire on the cans. He then turns to the camera and says, “F—k Bud Light, and f—k Anheuser-Busch."
The video comes after Anheuser-Busch announced a partnership with Mulvaney for its Easy Carry Contest. Mulvaney, who is featured in a Bud Light commercial, received a commemorative can of the beer with her face on it.

@Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore a beautiful, one-of-a-kind dress to the 2021@MET GALA. Designer Aurora James created a white and cream dress that said "Tax The Rich." The Majority Report crew have a debate about whether or not attendance at this event actually produced a net good. Emma Vigeland and Sam Seder don't feel that this type of action has value while Nomiki Konst does.

The book "The Walls Around Opportunity" by Gary Orfield explores how colorblind policies have made college inaccessible to many students of color, leading to profound racial gaps in higher education. Orfield argues that policies that acknowledge racial inequalities and set racial equality goals can succeed where colorblindness has failed. He describes how the Reagan era ushered in colorblind policies that ignore the realities of color inequality and have resegregated public schools, exacerbated inequalities in college preparation, and denied financial aid to families. The book proposes real solutions to make higher education available to all and features commentaries by Stella Flores and James Anderson. Overall, the book paints a troubling portrait of American higher education and its impact on communities of color and the nation.

On the phone, we have Gary Orfield professor and co-director of the Civil Rights Project at UCLA author of the walls around the opportunity of the failure of colorblind policy for higher education. Professor, thanks for joining us. a pleasure to be with you. Let's start with the failure of a colorblind policy. Give us a sense of just what constitutes a failure? Like what are we trying to achieve here? well historically in the United States colleges before the Civil Rights Revolution were virtually all white. There's only a token presence of students of color. In some places none at all. That was considered a colorblind policy by the colleges at that time. Nothing really changed until the colleges decided to change it. Partially because they were required to in the South by the 1964 Civil Rights Act and in the rest of the country because they decided to or were pressured to by their own students and communities. and to get the colleges significantly desegregated or significantly diverse they had to consider race because there was such a systematically unequal preparation. if they use the traditional standards of Recruitment and admissions it wouldn't work. basically, that was the discovery of the Civil Rights Revolution in general. if you just said we should not discriminate in terms of voting rights nothing changed. you had to actually require it to change. you had to have a plan to change it. That's what the college just discovered in the 1960s. when they began to become diverse significantly. and since then the vast majority of celestial colleges have had race-conscious admissions of one form or another. and there has been a succession of battles in the Supreme Court to try to defend it or on the side of conservatives to get rid of it. One thing I did not I was not aware of was that in the 1970s the gap between black and white students in higher education relative to their population in the country had come close to closing. I was not aware of that. yes right around 1977 and 1978 there was a one-time American history when students of color were equally as likely to enrollment College as white students. that doesn't mean they graduated. but at least they enrolled at very very similar levels that were right around the time of the Supreme Court decision first Supreme Court affirmative action decision in the Bakke case.

The @Good Liars are a hilarious comedic duo whose antics are mostly in the political realm. They're interviewing voters in Virginia who were out for the gubernatorial race in this segment The first man we watch interviewed said that the most important issue to him was to keep critical race theory out of schools, and could not define CRT at all. The Majority Report crew discusses the unfortunate reality that the uninformed have become highly motivated voters on the Right while the same phenomena does not occur on the Left.
