Kumbh Calling. Will be at Kumbh for the first time in life, traveling solo so no chance of getting lost, but let's see what I find & what finds me. If you are in #prayagrajkumbh for next 4 days, connect on. #travel #KumbhMela #kumbh

Trump’s WORLDWIDE Effect on the Global Reproductive Rights of Women

Trump and his conservative Christian-centric administration are using positions of authority to impose religious policies on long-established reproductive rights that put women around the world at risk.
Background

Ronald Reagan signed the Mexico City Policy in 1984. This sweeping mandate against reproductive freedom around the globe denied,

“US federal funds to any organisation involved in providing abortion services overseas or counselling women about them.”
Though revoked by every Democrat and reinstated by every Republican
since, Trump has taken up the cause with renewed vigor.

Every time the global gag has been reimposed by a Republican president, rates of back street and self-administered abortions have increased.

To mark the occasion of #LaborDay2019, I will transcribe an interesting, 91-year old #German text on #Marxism that has never entered the #internet before this post of mine. (I tried quite a lot to find the text, to no avail.) I will manually transcribe it, then translate it.
..
..I won't give the source, and also won't say WHY I don't give the source.

I repeat that it is a literal quote (from a 1928 publication), probably published during the #WeimarRepublic:

"#Marximus .. [ist] .. staats-, gesellschaft- und kulturzerstörend .. gegen jeden Staat,..
..jede Gesellschaft, jede Kultur ... ist #Marxismus ein #Aufruhr der #Eigensucht
gegen das #Gemeinwohl, also das Gegenteil jedes wahren #Sozialismus, denn Sozialismus muss stets das Wohl des Ganzen dem des Teiles voranstellen ... seine „Vorfurcht“ [sic; see dictionary entry

Coming up, my final pre poll assessment for Lok Sabha 2019 elections and give state wise numbers and also share analysis, along with key insights on this thread, starting today. This thread will be interactive.
Will cover southern States followed by East, West and North.
Tamil Nadu forecast for 2019
DMK – 19 (32%)
Congress – 2 (7%)
VCK – 1 (1%)
ADMK – 9 (28%)
PMK – 3 (6%)
BJP – 2 (4%)
DMDK – 1 (3%)
AMMK – 2 (6%)
It doesn't appear to be a clean sweep by DMK front as predicted by many. ADMk front is also doing decent
Both the Dravida parties are not the same force, they used to be, under their late founders. Little wonder, both the parties have conceded nearly half the seats to their smaller allies. The ADMK front has bigger allies as compared to DMK which only boasts of Congress. NDA has 3

Mega Thread of Opinion (1 of 52)

My take on #Election2019, is one that will surprise all #Canadians who will take the #time to read past this #headline. It will be a #long #series of #tweets that will be #purely #honest & straight to the #point.
This #series of tweets will contain #jabs at #voters, the #media & our #political #parties & they are #jabs, that in my own #opinion are #merited. Agree or don’t agree, I won’t care, but it needs to be said to ease my conscience in the lead up to our election!
In 2015, Canada’s #media, declared that #Trudeau & .@liberal_party outflanked the @NDP on leftist policies & for the 1st time in recent history the media supported large deficits & destruction of our country’s finances over a more balanced approach. Let’s stop here for a sec.

Interesting theory, @JeremyDBoreing! Let's do the math, which I think you'll find is remarkably illustrative on this topic and @AOC's story.

There are 435 seats in the House and 100 in the Senate, making for 535 federal legislative elected offices w/ voting power. (thread)
There are about 326 million people in the United States represented by those 535 elected officials. In a representative democracy, it is ideal that the legislative body serving the people would reflect the lived experiences of those people. Not so with the United States Congress.
According to the Census Bureau, white persons who are not Hispanic or Latino make up about 60.7 percent of our population. Persons identifying as male (though that's a whole other issue w/ proper LGBTQ representation) make up about 49.2 percent of the population.

1. The Biggest Problem in America

Let me first say what it's not. It's not the Republicans and it is not the Democrats. It's not the Liberals and it's not the Conservatives. It's not the unhinged Socialists/Communists and it's not the unhinged Capitalists.
2. America is a vast country, in its geographic expanse as well as in its expansive spirit. It has and will continue to take a whole lot in its stride. Politicians, no matter how popular or how unpopular, come and go.
3. Intense political and partisan rivalry between the two major political parties is no lasting trouble at all. As a matter of fact, in the long run, it's the best guarantee most Americans have against state tyranny.
