If Donald cared about the safety of women and children immigrants at the boarder, he would admit them as asylum seekers.

If he cared about security, he’d open the Gov, refund airport security and allow the coast guard to get paid.

Trump makes America worse.

FACT: A wall will not stop the inflow of drugs, which are mostly transported by cars.
FACT: No terrorists have been caught crossing the southern border.
FACT: Border crossing is at a 40 year low, most undocumented immigrants come by plane.
FACT: Disingenuous compassion is gross.
FACT: Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than natural born Americans.
FACT: Those currently held at the border are asylum seekers fleeing violence that America helped cause through our drug consumption and foreign policy.

America has a moral duty to help these people.

The Trump admin cut the advertising budget for the ACA by 90%.

FOIA obtained emails show this was knowingly designed to harm enrollment, and they repeatedly lied about that fact.

Dem House oversight puts an end to the sabotage. Remember what they did when they had the power.
On a call w/ reporters, in response to whether HHS had studied the efficacy of advertising, an official said, “We haven’t done a specific study related to the public awareness of the program.”

It was a lie. They had, & knew it would harm enrollment.

huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-ve…
The day open enrollment began, the Trump administrator of ACA benefits wrote a tweet designed to scare Americans away from enrolling.

Now that Dems have won House oversight, she’s promoting enrollment. Oversight stops the sabotage.

I am still freaking the F out. My kids. My babies.

A real plan to shoot kids in school. MY kids school. With locks, double entrances, security guards, not a lot of doors.

Arrests made.

They’re safe. Only way I can tweet this through my tears and rage.

My kids arrived at school to find themselves in immediate lockdown within 10 minutes at their middle and high schools.
Here’s some texts of fear, I love you’s and me reminding them how to hide & run. Find your sister. Don’t save anyone else.

I couldn’t be there to protect them.
No parent should ever have to go through this. Ever. I keep thinking of @fred_guttenberg & the other #Parkland parents who will never see their babies again.

And the #parkland kids @davidhogg111 @Emma4Change
who had their lives threatened for not wanting to die at school.

THREAD: by now, many of you have seen posts or articles re: @defcon’s @VotingVillageDC, and the ease with which machines and websites were attacked and exploited. And now, THIS is happening....#unhackthevote #infosec #ElectionSecurity
For YEARS, advocates of election integrity have been pointing out these issues. This isn’t new. After 2000, the Help America Vote Act was passed to modernize our elections, first proposed by Robert Ney (R-OH). Signed into law by George W. Bush. So much for this theory:
At the same time, Bush’s @TheJusticeDept began an investigation into alleged #VoterFraud. Guess what it turned up? No masses of non-citizens voting, nothing that could come close to altering an election. nytimes.com/2007/04/12/was…

Gearing up for #Midterms? Checking your voter registration? Reading up on candidates?

That's great. But there's one more thing you need to do:

Prepare yourself for the barrage of divisive tactics that will be coming at us for the next ~90 days.

THREAD.
Every time you read a sensational news story/tweet/FB post/etc. attacking a Dem. candidate or an anti-authoritarianism activist, stop and ask yourself these questions:
1. Is it intended to pit us against each other?
2. Is it attempting to divide the Dem. vote?
3. Is it attacking an ally and/or the credibility of a major voice in the fight to defend democracy and the rule of law?

"Youth voter registration in the Keystone State has surged by 16 percentage points since the February shooting, with voters aged 18-29 comprising 61.4 percent of new registrants, an analysis by the Democratic data analytics group TargetSmart concludes. "
pennlive.com/opinion/2018/0…
What's more interesting than the above is the comments after the article. Why do some believe this group of people are more naive, more uneducated who only want free stuff? I do assume some who have registered are also Republican. So they are registering for free stuff also?
I recall my first vote. I was naive, I was educated. And I recall watching men and women I grew up with being as equally naive. I recall the last wave of Nam protests, and how people call them ignorant and unpatriotic.
