We can afford

A 5.7 billion dollar racist wall and Trillions of Dollars in wars.

What we can't afford

Debt free Education
Healthcare for all
Clean water
Reconstructing Puerto Rico
Paying our teachers like college-educated professionals
Feeding the Homeless
This wall, the ban, separating and caging children from their parents isn't about SAFETY!

Just like the Holocaust, Slavery, Racial Segregation, Japanese internment camps weren't about SAFETY

2 Hispanic women were approached and harassed by a racist white lady for speaking Spanish in store.

Another white woman who saw and heard this happening immediately stepped in to defend them.

Kamria Trent is the epitome of an ally

1. You don't have to carry a marginalized Identity to stand up for marginalized people.

2. Speaking in your native tongue at this moment at this time is a form of RESISTANCE. Keep speaking it in public.

(Also if you're here, please follow me. One love. One world. PEACE)
If you see Xenophobia, Islamophobia, Racism, Misogyny, Homophobia CALL IT OUT.

You shouldn't have to be a Mexican, Immigrant, Muslim, Black, Woman, or Gay to do that.

The Holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal.

People who hid Jews in their homes were criminalized. People who freed slaves were criminalized. People who stood up for equality and justice were criminalized.

Legality is not a guide for morality!
Respect my EXISTENCE or expect my RESISTANCE

Oppressive laws thrive because of ignorance and fear.

If you don't know a Muslim or have a Muslim friend, follow me. I'll be that friend. Don't let hate consume you because of the lies you have been told.

Stand with minorities ❤️
-Slavery wasn't about "SAFETY"

-Racial Segregation wasn't about "SAFETY"

-Japanese concentration camps weren't about "SAFETY"

- Separation of migrant children isn't about "SAFETY"

- Muslim Ban isn't about "SAFETY"

- The wall isn't about "SAFETY"

@tmagasays @threadreaderapp @zerah It really is a great story and one that I think many can relate to. I personally am pro Trump and tbh I believe in a lot of socialist ideology like "free" healthcare, housing, food, clean water, education, etc. I understand things take time and believe tech will make it...
@tmagasays @threadreaderapp @zerah Possible one day. For now I focus on real issues like bringing troops home, free speech, fighting the PC culture and the stuff in front of my face atm. If I have any advice though, be prepared to be let down by the right also.
@tmagasays @threadreaderapp @zerah Nobody is perfect and there are small pockets of racists and ignorant people and a whole lot of wild conspiracy theories that you probably don't want to get wrapped up in. Overall I would say that conservatives are kind in general though. If you have some free time and need...

I think the real question is "how do we create the means and foundation for the agenda," not the money to pay for it.

We always get money by taxing working class and middle class people.
That's how we pay for the two wars we've been in for over 15yrs.
The #healthcare industry employs millions of Americans.
In the only vision Bernie Sanders has ever presented, that somehow disappears and is replaced by something completely different....by magic. He has never had a plan for it or "breaking up the banks."
nydailynews.com/opinion/transc…
The most workable--and quick--plan we could get (if people vote in November and the Democrats regain the House)--is the #MedicareExtraForAll plan.

Getting people to give up their employer-paid insurance will be hard, but this could convince everyone.

Time to talk about women's reproductive health and dispel a few myths. I'm not one for long threads, so bear with me here. I have a lot of thoughts on this.

The main thing I think gets lost in partisan rhetoric is that we ALL want there to be fewer abortions. But how?
#RoeVWade
2) Let's start with a universal truth.

🔥Making abortions illegal does not make them less common.🔥

Ever.

#LegalSafeRare

dailykos.com/stories/2018/3… Abortion rates are not lower in places where it is illegal.
3)
 Just in case you thought this was an American phenomena.

It's not.

Other countries have learned the hard way that punitive measures don't work.
#RoevWade

economist.com/international/… Abortion is as common in countries where it is illegal as it is where it is legal.

Trump deserves “a perfect score”—in his genocidal assault on the Puerto Rican people. #Thread #HurricaneMaria
In Puerto Rico (and in the U.S. Virgin Islands), one full month after Hurricane Maria, the situation for millions of people remains dire.
Economy is at a standstill, & doctors use term “post-apocalyptic” to describe the state of healthcare; many are dying “preventable deaths.”
