I really appreciate a Presidential candidate going on Spanish television on the fist day of announcement.
Here’s what’s up. Not all Latinxs are Spanish monolingual speakers and we don’t all watch Univision, but many in our families and communities do (especially first and second generation Latinx immigrant). It feels good to not be just an afterthought for a campaign.
OJO: This is not an endorsement for Booker. They all still have a lot to say on immigration, climate change, free college education, Puerto Rico... and many other issues I care deeply about. I just think it's a good move to reach out to our communities in this way.

My friend and fellow activist, @Eduardo4Action will be deported today 😔. Why? Because he didn't have his wallet to pay $27 fricken dollars for a taxi ride. He spent 3 weeks in solitary confinement and more than 100 days in detention. This is our reality. This is why we fight.
Here's what Eduardo had to say: "For many years I have advocated for the civil rights of the most vulnerable in our country, I have experienced the shortcomings and inhumanities of our immigration system in mind, body & spirit, but I sincerely never imagined the extent of the...
...inhumanities committed against immigrants in our prison industrial complex.

This prison industrial complex has robbed me of my physical health, it has violently damaged my fighting spirit, and it continues to open my mind to see too many inhumanities.

.@realDonaldTrump’s announcement is clearly a way to shift the pressure from him to Democrats using DACA recipients as a bargaining chip once again. He ended the program! Now he wants it back for the wall.
I don’t trust Trump as a good negotiator, specially when it comes to this issue. He is surrounded by people, especially Steve Miller, who can take this negotiation on a totally different direction.
Additionally, we need to remind everyone that the crisis at the border is a made up crisis used for political purposes. He wants a solution for Dreamers in good faith: open the government, work with Congress and come to the table with a real solution.

This is Elena's baby. She is 5 months old baby girl. I met her at my house when we hosted several migrant families who were released by CBP. Elena and her spent 10 days in the hielera with no diapers and no clean water. She came out really sick because the cell was freezing cold.
More stories about the hieleras via @NILC_org: "Approximately 50 women and their children in the cell in AZ. There was not enough room for everyone to lie down and some kids had to sleep near the toilet. If you got up, you would not have a space to sit when you came back."
"The temperature in the cell was very, very cold…as hard as I tried I could not get warm. I now understand why dogs sleep in a little ball, to keep warm, but I couldn’t even keep warm by doing that. We did ask the guards to change the temperature but the guards didn’t change it"

Agreed and in this climate it frankly doesn’t matter whether it was malicious/intentional or not because anyone who’s capable of minimizing and erasing the perennial concerns of the BASE of the party whose nomination he seeks to win (but won’t join 🙃) isn’t a reliable ally.
@b_mcnett I really appreciate your acknowledgment of/empathy for your neighbors’ POV. To this day what aggravates me most abt this shit is the Bros’ unwillingness to accept that they were simply outvoted by women, POC and other assorted reliable allies who were stronger together.
@b_mcnett The man lost the primary by damn near 4 million votes and they’re still trying to make it out to be that it was rigged. They can’t just get a grip and face facts that intersectionality works and is the most pragmatic/feasible antidote to GOP oppression and oligarchy.

📌America deserves to know how
much money Trump is getting from the Saudi government. $3.6B to nuke the Iran deal?

📌Trump’s corruption is a national security issue.

📌Saudis may well have felt emboldened by Trump’s attacks on journalists as the “enemy of the people.”
🌳TGIF🌳

CT: “Trump (and some adult family) negotiated a deal with the Saudis and the Emiratis for 3.6 billion to get rid of Iran nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions. The payment was made in two installments. The first last year and the second earlier in 2018”
🌳TGIF3🌳

📌Trump’s “rhetoric against journalists probably encouraged the Saudis to do it,”

📌“Trump hates journalists & he would not react if we kill one journalist.”

📌Senators warn Congress may block Trump's SA arms deals

Morning all: If you're looking for links to watch this morning's testimony, start here.

twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
An alternative link: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/nomin…
Candidly: we're not off to a good start. Clear bias as Grassley opens by stating there wasn't a "whiff" of allegations when Kavanaugh was investigated by the FBI, and scolds Feinstein for not revealing the letter. In front of Dr. Ford.

Please call your Senators. (202) 224-3121.

1) So I did some thinking. Obviously, this is a very dangerous thing for me to do. I did so much thinking, I'm making a thread, one that I'm not tagging the rest of the Conservative Twitter Intelligentsia on, though I did run the thought by a few to make sure I wasn't totally mad
2) I will go ahead and plug quodverum.com, coming soon-ish, because I'm a fame junkie like that.
3) And I'm bringing out the red ring of rage again. Because, you're going to feel rage after you're done with this thread.

See, my thinking involved me drilling down to the juicy nuggets of logic that are hidden behind all the bullshit and bluster.

I am going to start a thread on what I find in the documents as I find it (as best as I can) We received the full and basically unredacted dossier from Steele, here: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… It is evident from this paragraph that they were, in fact, backengineering a coverup.
2. It is important to note, that this section refers to the now VERY debunked meeting of Michael Cohen in PRAYGUE (You all know what I did there) and we know this meeting absolutely did not occur.
3. After the election, Steele was still compiling dossier material. This entry is from December 13th and seeks to provide cover for "Romanian" hacker Guccifer 2.0
