If the nation will focus on answers to poverty & low wealth like living wages, health care, voting rights; if we register voters every time Trump sends a racist tweet; if we fight in the South to expand the electorate, we can beat Trump’s lies, hate & racism.
We can’t just react; we must go on the offensive & expose the lies. It’s movement time! What’s happening in this moment must embolden & inspire our resistance!
We Will Do MORE—Mobilizing, Organizing, Registering & Educating—focused on engaging the 140 mil poor/low wealth ppl, their allies, & communities of faith. We must do MORE to keep growing a nonviolent moral fusion coalition in the streets, the political suites & at the ballot box.

@theguardian @GuardianUS @BRepairers @Louisiana_PPC @jnmulholland @oliverlaughland @guardian America may be one of the only places in the world where corporations can make something as sacred as air, toxic.

@theguardian @GuardianUS @BRepairers @Louisiana_PPC @jnmulholland @oliverlaughland @guardian For corporations to knowingly & deliberately poison the air consumed by poor people they think can’t fight back is sinful, shameful & a violation of fundamental human rights.

1/ The migration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border is ongoing. Follow this thread for the latest stories.
2/ @TheAtlantic explores the “border patrol-to-emergency room pipeline.”

"The conditions in facilities at the border are so dire that many migrants are in need of medical care as soon as they are released."

3/ As an increasing number of asylum-seeking families cross the southern border, lawyers, doctors, and even government inspectors have criticized the facilities run by Border Patrol for being overcrowded and unsanitary. bit.ly/2LBdy5c

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (14-20 July)

1. Here are the week’s stories that the legacy media either skipped, obfuscated, or never provided the proper context and follow-up.
2. Let’s get started with a hoot from Kurt Schlichter, who opines on the Democrats’ dilemma presented by the whackos in “The Squad” (AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and Presser). Here are just a few excerpts from a great article:

<quote>
2A. The pain of your enemy should be your joy, and we conservatives are pegging the joymeter right about now watching the political sepsis that is CongressKid AOC and her merry band of idiots running rampant within the flabby body of the Democrat Party.

20 days in detention later Mariee left the center deathly ill. Her mother argues ICE never provided her daughter proper medical care. Mariee died.

My fellow American Patriots: Let's not make the mistake of overlooking how wealthy and resourceful our neighbor to the south, Mexico, has become. Much of it can be traced back to the failed policies of NAFTA. I've seen it first-hand and I'm here to tell you about it. #Mexico #PRI
I have been posting here on Social Media about it for a year now. As Americans we don't always understand, or understand at all, the realities of politics in Mexico City.

I was amazed, myself, to learn the budgets these people are working with and their access to international
political consultants, law firms, lobbyists, and so forth. I was conflicted within my own thoughts for a long time because I believe there is no other American entrepreneur in recent history who has advocated for legitimate U.S./Mexico technology business, than I have. #USA

The U.S. and #Mexico are announcing our intent to take a holistic & coordinated approach to stem illegal migration. Today we announced our commitment to promote a safer & more prosperous Central America and southern Mexico by enhancing security, governance, & economic prosperity.
The U.S. is committing to increase the project pipeline for @opicgov if commercially viable projects are identified in Southern Mexico & Northern Triangle. We will also review available financing mechanisms & tools, incl. private sector, multilateral banks, & regional partners.
In Jan. 2019, we are forming a joint task force and will hold a cabinet-level meeting to align our strategies. We will co-host a private sector business summit in early 2019 as well. We applaud #Mexico’s announcement of an unprecedented development program for the region.
