Read this thread. Feel the churning in your gut. And stay angry. And LOUD.
FOUR HUNDRED parents deported while the US government keeps their children. NINE HUNDRED parents deemed "ineligible" to be reunited with the kids the US government took. These are human rights abuses. This is torture.
Guess "country that kidnaps and traumatizes children whose parents are trying to save them" IS who we are.

"I work for the president but... colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations" says someone who let him wrench thousands of children from their parents with no plan to reunite them, leaving all traumatized & hundreds likely orphaned.
I finally got a chance to read this, and all I feel is sick.
And ANGRY. The op-ed mentions the 25th amendment, but then instead of helping pursue that (though the writer seems to think it'd be justifiable), they decided to try to take the unhinged, dangerous incompetent from a 10 to a 9.8 so they can get their deregulation? EFFFFFFFF THAT

There's a LONG list of health care experts who, interacting with the health care system themselves, find it a nightmare. Each one on that list is an alarm: it's EVEN WORSE for everyone else. Imagine if the people with power listened to the people with the nightmares & expertise.
I've been bookmarking some of these accounts for awhile now-- of physician-researchers, and others well-versed in health care, who nonetheless get mired in the morass of the US health care system, and often suffer for it.
A few years back, physician/researcher @aaronecarroll recounted the doozy of a time he faced navigating the process of refilling Rx for a chronic condition. nyti.ms/1MDr7LD

"If he hadn't broken the law, police wouldn't have shot him"
"If they hadn't broken the law, the US government wouldn't have stolen their children"
"Sure the President broke the law but what's the big deal really"
Only certain crimes count. And the dividing line isn't, say, violent/not. It's *the kind of person* (race, wealth) who commits it. And as "criminals," they deserve whatever happens to them--even trauma, death. Other kinds of criminals? "Criminals?!" The mere accusation is unfair
The unindicted co-conspirator stage is a logical, even easy time to say "look, I support Trump, but no one is above the law." But a swath of people WANT him to be above the law. And not just because they want him to stay President. Because THEY want to be above the law, too.

I may have told you about Mama Tutu, if you haven’t read about her in any of my previous stories, let me re-introduce her.

#thread #FlashbackFriday
We lived in a compound with a story building of four flats Mama Tutu and Mama Ngozi lived on the ground floor while Sisi Mi, our landlady and Mama Bimbo (My mama) lived on the first floor. Mama Tutu’s flat was below ours while Mama Ngozi’s flat was below Simi Mi’s.
Mama Tutu was the only university graduate in our compound and she never hesitated to let the mothers know, and the kids too. This was why we spoke very little vernacular and zero pidgin around her because she would come down on you like a hammer.

One of the hardest things you'll come up against is mindset. It is what will cause you the most sorrow. Let me explain using a Nigerian example.
You believe one should have electricity for 24 hours a day. You have the financial means, so you can now attain this using a combination of PHCN, Generator, Inverter and Solar Panels.

Twitter may not be the most effective place to solicit for this, but if you (or, more likely, your parents, grandparents, great grandparents) did forced labor during WW2 for ghettos under German control, please read this. #Thread
Back in 1997 there was a landmark case in Germany that determined that people who'd labored in the Lodz Ghetto would get credit toward German Social Security for that work.
In 2002, Germany codified it and said that forced laborers in any ghetto under German control were eligible. At the time (2000-2005), my full time job was as a case manager to Holocaust survivors and Nazi Victims. I did stuff like take them to the doctor, pluck their chin

For some of us, too, it /IS/ all men, or has BECOME all men. Saying “Not All Men,” then, is telling us our experience isn’t real, which— fun fact— makes you one of those men.

Instead — 👏🏼 ACTIONABLE ADVICE AHEAD 👏🏼 (thread)
Apologize for your gender (leave the part where you blame society for how you’re socialized until later— she may even bring it up herself! We know!), thereby acknowledging & validating her experience, and ask yourself or even her (!) How can I make THIS experience better?

E.g.
Hang on, I have to get a beer.

And dinner— it’s not /just/ bc of this thread! 🤣

Men Are Scum - Story #Thread
Battery full! I unplugged my phone then sat on the edge of the bed as I scrolled through notifications from different social media platforms, some needed to be replied immediately but no, I just wasn't in the mood to reply them yet. I was still going through the notifications
then saw a tweet from one of my feminist idols, the tweet read thus:

"I'm about to do a thread, another experience...*sighs* men are just scum"
I wasted no time diving into her twitter timeline, I followed the thread with rapt attention and retweeted, it was indeed a
