Trump’s allies in the Senate have made it clear: they want to strip your health care protections, jeopardize #RoevWade, & protect a corrupt, criminally-implicated President.

They’re counting on us not caring enough to stop them, and now’s the chance for us to prove them wrong.
If you care about protections for the 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions—like Alaskan Colleen Mondor, a small business owner and cancer survivor whose son has diabetes—speak up.

If you don’t want a return to life before Roe v. Wade, speak up.

Brett Kavanaugh would enact Betsy DeVos’ agenda via the Supreme Court. If you care about education, speak up.

Kavanaugh has a long record of ignoring well-established law to deny immigrants basic legal protections. If you care about immigrants’ rights, speak up.

If you care about women of color—who stand to lose the most should Kavanaugh be confirmed—speak up.

Kavanaugh argued that people with disabilities can be forced to undergo elective surgeries (including abortion) without giving consent.

If you care about the rights of people with disabilities, speak up.

Kavanaugh is the definition of a rigged justice. He is rigged to protect President Trump, to enact the worst of the Republican agenda, to protect corporations over people, and so much more.

huffingtonpost.com/entry/opinion-…
If you think a President who is implicated in federal crimes shouldn’t be allowed to pick his judicial savior, then this is your chance to raise your voice.

Join Americans across the country TODAY. Take one day to stop decades of Kavanaugh. #StopKavanaugh

THREAD: Climate change is happening now, and it’s happening to us.

That’s why we need you to be a #ClimateVoter. 🌎
People all across the country are already experiencing the impacts of climate change. People like Kilan, whose neighborhood in Miami is regularly flooded from rising seas.
No matter where you live or what issues you care about, climate change is having an impact. And while it can seem like an overwhelming issue, there’s something we can all do.

We 👏 can 👏 vote. 👏

One year ago, Hurricane Harvey had devastating impacts across Texas.

Ali, a rising sophomore at @TAMU, will talk about her experience during the hurricane, and why she’s now a #ClimateVoter on @AM2DM today.

WATCH LIVE: live.twitter.com/am2dm #DefendClimate #ActOnClimate
@TAMU @AM2DM Ali, on why she's a #ClimateVoter:

"I think at one point when we were evacuated and the people that evacuated were constantly watching the news and flooding...at that point, i thought, how could we let this happen? Why am I sitting here?...I'm going to do everything I can."
"We need to become climate voters for our own health and our kids health and the future." #ClimateVoter

#Thread: Rough translation on Rajini's recent statement on RMM activities.

I'd like to clarify the false rumors stating RMM works are happening without my permission. All activities regarding RMM are happening with my knowledge & permission.

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution
Already by last year May month, I said that "I won't allow people near me who have thoughts of getting posts & earning money when I enter politics. So, those people stay away right now."

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution #Thread #Rajinikanth
Didn't say it for word-sake. We are entering politics to bring out a new political culture for a good political change. If we've to do politics like others, why should we enter politics?

1/ On 23 June 2016 millions of us voted on the future of the UK.
2/ The vast majority voted because they wanted a brighter future for their country, for themselves and their children

That applies whether they voted leave or remain
3/ Millions of people could not vote - they were too young, or had lived abroad for too long or were EU citizens not entitled to vote.

But that day affected all their futures

THREAD―FAILED STRATEGY: HOW DEM LEADERS BUNGLED #Kavanaugh

I'm seeing a lot of blame going around so I want to provide some clarity on what I believe Dems did wrong. First and foremost, they failed to realize that the GOP would use their majority to seat Kavanaugh AT ALL COSTS.
THREAD―FAILED STRATEGY

Understanding that the GOP would not settle for anything less than Justice Kavanaugh, Democrats should have walked out of what they called a "charade" and a "sham." When you call something a sham and then participate in it, you're legitimizing it.
THREAD―FAILED STRATEGY

Democrats had ample reason to refuse to participate: Kavanaugh was nominated by a president who may have committed federal crimes. His records were being withheld. And so on. Simply applying the #MerrickGarland standard, Kavanaugh didn't merit a hearing.

THREAD from #Kavanaugh confirmation hearing Day1. Day2 begins. GOP chair Grassley said yesterday’s protesters plotted w/ Democrats to disrupt hearing. “Today is different,” he said. Protests continued. One said: “I’m offended; I called out Durbin. I didn’t coorindate w/Democrats”
Feinstein starts questions on gun regulation & “common use.” She said she never thought she’d see children mowed down in schools. #Kavanaugh: “It’s all about precedent. If a type of firearm is widely owned like assault weapons, then it’s unconstitutional to ban them under Heller”
Feinstein asks about Roe: I don’t want to go back to those numbers [women dying in back alley abortions]. #Kavanaugh: I don’t live in a bubble. I understand its importance. As a judge, Roe & Casey are long-standing Supreme Court precedent. (Implying it should stand, it seems.)

A brief thread on voting. I received my polling card for the local elections here in the UK, a bitter sweet moment as it's likely my last time voting here. I also received from the Belgian embassy a letter to register to vote for Belgian federal elections 1/
I cannot vote for British parliamentary elections because I don't have British (or Commonwealth) citizenship, and could not vote in the EU Referendum either. For those who say "Why don't you just get a British passport", well that betrays a deep ignorance 2/
Of how expensive British citizenship is (£1330 and rising every year), how many hoops to jump through (life in the UK test, language test, piles of paperwork to prove residency), in any case, I'm not eligible now and when I would be, the goalposts will have moved again 3/
