Our Govt's been broken since before cases like #CitizensUnited
Money's been infiltrating our Govt
Our laws aren't updated for the people,or for Law & Order, but to help Corporations build wealth
Trump & Putin capitalized on this situation
We need to get Trump & GOP out & REBUILD
If Legislation was created FOR THE PEOPLE then the US wouldn't have the MOST EXPENSIVE, yet the WORST Healthcare, of the top nations.

Our Gun Homicide rate wouldn't be 25% higher then other wealthy nations.

We wouldn't be 5% of the🌎 population but have 31% of MASS SHOOTINGS
If Legislation worked FOR THE PEOPLE the US wouldn't rank LAST in Wage Growth amongst G-20 Nations

Look at a Middle Class "Worker" vs an "Heir" w/ no job.They declare the same income but the WORKER pays DOUBLE in taxes
Why? Tax Loopholes are for the 1% & against US working class
Not to mention, our children's 🌎 is the sacrificial lamb for Corporate America

Its CLASS WARFARE

If we close loopholes & Corporates & the 1% pay their FAIR SHARE we can AFFORD Education & Healthcare

Yet, the current WH is talking about another Tax Cut for the Super Rich
The 1% now own 40% of America's wealth BUT they're still the Minority
The Working & Middle class still supports the Economy
We have Power but must figure out how to harness it
Legislation must be updated FOR THE PEOPLE & not for the Wealthy Elite
NOW is the time to make it happen

Do the GOP fear a dancing “little girl”[Misogynist Ed Rollins🖕exact words not mine]
or
Do they fear going from a FAKE Tax of 37% that let Trump & his Fox & Friend cohorts pay NOTHING for yrs to a REAL Tax Rate of 70%?

Cause you can swear or rape women but don’t touch the GOPs💰
When did actually COLLECTING taxes from the rich & ensuring folks, who made money off this country & its people, contribute to the maintainability & improvement of the Country’s infrastructure become “Progressive”?

And when did the word Progressive become an American swear word?
If a 70% Tax Rate seems shocking it’s not~
👉Eisenhower’s top tax was 91%
👉In the 60’s it was 70%
👉Under Reagan=50%
And thats without “loopholes”

‘Coincidentally’ wage growth at this time stagnated
When the Rich keep more💰
Workers DON’T make more💰
but they DO lose Healthcare

I want so badly for us to have a YOUNG & DIVERSE Govt. But can we realistically get our ‘dream’ young & diverse govt as soon as 2020?
The damage Trumps doing will take years to repair. The first step to rebuilding is to put up a ticket that can win in 2020
Heres my thoughts👇
Last nite I had a debate about my current pick for a 2020 ticket. I know a tickets normally 2 positions but mentally I’ve expanded to 3
Here’s my ideal “ticket” at the moment
BIDEN~Prez
BETO~VP
KAMALA~Attorney General
Before you dismiss Biden as an “Old White Man” Hear me out..👇
Joe Biden may be the right “transitional” President.
I believe he’d only do one term.

His job would be to
👉Clean up the💩show Trumps left. His prior 8 yrs in the WH prepared him
👉Help pass the baton to Beto or Kamala & prepare them to be the best future presidents they can be

IS THIS RELATED TO THE MYSTERY FOREIGN STATE-OWNED CORPORATION SUBPOENAED BY MUELLER🤔
This👇picture shows Cohen & Michael Flynn entering a Trump Tower elevator 5 days AFTER Qatar Investment Authority, run by Mohamed Al-Ruwaini (pictured w/ Cohen) bought a 19.5% stake in Rosneft
Qatar’s Mohammed Al-Ruwaini supposedly bragged that Michael Flynn had NOT refused their money. And that Michael Cohen asked him for $1M. Al-Ruwaini claims they didn’t give $1M to Cohen. Coincidentally Cohen did receive a $1M consulting contract linked to a Russian Oligarch?
A firm linked to Russian Oligarch Viktor Vekselberg (Yes, Mueller questioned & sanctioned Vekselberg earlier this year)paid $580k to the same shell company that Cohen set up to pay Stormy Daniels. They also paid $250k to Trumps Inauguration fund. Were these fees & donations more?

"Law & Order: Hate Crimes" is a bad idea based on a bogus spike in bias-based crimes reason.com/blog/2018/09/0…
But there's actually no evidence, save for misleading media headlines, that there's been an "egregious" spike in bias-based offenses, not since Trump was elected nor over the past decade.
In 2016, the most recent year for which the FBI has data, the national hate-crime rate was significantly lower than had been reported in 2001, 2006, 2008, or 2012.

Poor White Loyalty to Wealthy Whites: A Thread
Have you ever wondered why so many poor white southerners endear themselves to wealthy whites under a perceived shared pride of race? Even when many wealthy whites see them as poor white trash, or just pawns to a political victory?
The ‘poor white trash’ moniker has been around since at least 1821, an evolution of the 17th-century “wastepeople” (europe), 18th-century labels “squatter” (North) & “cracker” (South), or landless, migrant, poor, and lawless white folks. Remember, land ownership meant everything!

@JohnWDean @JohnWDean, you have influence and I'm just a mom fighting for the future of my children & grandchildren. I hope you'll listen to me. I've read & studied a lot about how we got here. TBH I believe this was intended to happen under Nixon. The same men gave us both: Manafort, 1/
@JohnWDean Stone, Ailes, Bossie. They used the same routine to get elected: Southern Strategy; Law & Order; Fear of change/minorities; white men scared of sharing the table with women & minorities. They were both criminals, paranoid, egotistical. IMHO Nixon was treasonous too. He went 2/
@JohnWDean Behind Johnson's back to the Vietnamese. The crime is pretty much the same too. The difference btwn then & now is that the GOP had morals & played by the rules. Watergate taught the GOP that Democrats are moral, decent, & put the country b4 self. The democrats made a huge 3/

Congress ministers are accused of tampering with evidence in the death of the DySP Ganapathy. Whom are they saving?

Gauri Lankesh murder is very similar to what was witnessed in murder of Kalburgi. We want justice for Journalists.
