 So there it all is
Judge for yourself

I pledge to support the Democratic nominee for President
Whomever She or He may be

Until we know
I'll be educating myself on what matters

What they've actually done
Where their money comes from
How transparent they are

This thread is for all the hetro men out there confused by #Metoo
Let me start by saying I'm not here to attack you
Many men simply have no frame of reference to understand why some of the things they might do are problematic
In general men, even small men, are stronger than us
So to help you understand what I'm talking about. I've prepared some examples. Imagine yourself in each situation. Then the next time you interact with a woman think of how you would perceive your own behaviour if a man that intimidated you was behaving that way towards you.
Ex 1: You are dancing at a club. A large man comes up from behind & grabs you. He grinds his pelvis into your bottom & kisses your neck. You push him away, telling him you aren't interested but he persists. Groping you roughly, while his buddies laugh on the side lines.

The hoarding of wealth is the cause of poverty

The super rich suck up 99% of the money

Cost of living has continued to rise

Many Americans have been priced out of existence
The unemployment rate goes down
Corporate profits go up
Wages go down
Many Americans work more than one job
Yet they are still barely scraping by
A well educated & healthy populace is necessary for the success of America
Social programs lift children out of poverty
Instead of adding a zero to the bank account of the ultra wealthy
We could be investing in infrastructure
We could be investing in our future workforce

1 @gidimeister & @ayosogunro did threads saying 'Buharists justify poverty'. Their threads weren't only unfair but totally untrue & uncalled for. I will try to explain a little what madam @iyaboawokoya was talking about before they 'came for her' with this #Thread When you hear
2. the phrase the rich get richer while the poor gets poorer, in Nigeria it doesn't always mean the rich who work hard for their money but the rich who are strategically positioned to amass wealth through corruption.
3. When billions are spent on power & we still ask 'where is the power', when monies allocated for defense are diverted to private accounts & today we have 'dasukigate', when billions of $ generated from NNPC go into private accounts, when contractors are paid almost in full

Never in PDP’s 20-Year history have they gone into a presidential campaign with State Governors as unbothered as the current set. If you know anything about the PDP - and about Nigeria really- it is that Presidential campaigns tend to ride largely on the back of Governors
#Thread
Governors are the most powerful set of politicians in the Nigerian democracy, after the President, for obvious reasons - they control half of all Revenues accruing to the Federation. PDP, as a veteran ruling party, quickly mastered the art of ‘managing’ its Governors.
The reason Atiku almost upstaged OBJ in 2003 was because he had the PDP Governors lined up firmly behind him. Obasanjo was a rattled man, and reportedly had to BEG to get a second-term ticket. The Governors could easily have had him dethroned. They - Govs - were/are The Party!

The public is acting as early investor, putting tons of money in the development of drugs that then become privatized.

They receive no return on the investment that they have made. - @AOC

A Public Option Isn’t Good Enough
splinternews.com/a-public-optio… via @splinter_news #SinglePayer #MedicareForAll #SinglePayerSunday #Medicare4All
NNU Executive Director @NNUBonnie on why we can't settle for anything less than #MedicareForAll:

"The opposition, the insurance companies and pharma, will come out against anything, whether it's a half-measure or even one-quarter. We have to aim high." politico.com/story/2019/01/…

I dedicate this particular thread to Chuck Schumer, professional Wall Street and AIPAC puppet, and coward in the face of the worst Republican administration since George W. Bush. There is a good reason for that which I will get to momentarily.
There seems to be a pattern with Mr. Schumer in that he doesn't do anything to make sure the Democrats actually oppose Donald Trump like they should at every turn. Take fast tracking 15 lifetime appointment conservative judges so Democrats can go home. huffingtonpost.com/entry/senate-d…
It could have something to do with how Donald Trump used to donate to Chuck Schumer all the time, along with Trump's family, even holding campaign fundraisers for him at Mar A Lago. opensecrets.org/news/2017/09/t…

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some things of those things #Thread
First, you're never going to win a head on battle with an adversary that's got you outgunned. That's not the point of the Resistance. The point is to create friction, make it hard for your adversary to operate, to increase transaction costs.
Second, resistance doesn't have to be a dramatic act. It can be a small act, like losing a sheet of paper, taking your time processing something, not serving someone in a restaurant. Small acts taken by thousands have big effects.
