Don’t fall for the false choice between talking about race and talking about economic issues. The research shows that the most powerful message is to talk about both together. Read & share this: demos.org/research/race-…
“Wealthy elites exploit racial fears to turn working people against each other and against good government; economic pain fuels racial resentment and facilitates scapegoating, including attacks on immigrants and Muslims.”

The GOP is intentionally using racism as a strategy to divide America and distract the public from Republican policies that fleece working people of all races. They want us to forget their attack’s on health care. Call it out and fight back.

On my way to Detroit.
Landed in Detroit. So far, all the Democrats here at the airport appear to be treating each other with courtesy, regardless of their disagreements—thanks to a shared mission of obtaining their luggage finding the exit.
Team Wisconsin assembles!

This is the GOP long con in a nutshell. Trump blazes away with raw and hideous racism. Meanwhile, he and his party look for ways to ship yachtloads of cash to the super wealthy. Don’t let them get away w it.

Ted Cruz Demands Emergency Tax Cut for the Rich vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/r…
And this is what the other hand is doing.

Meanwhile, GOP policies leading to the shuttering of rural hospitals across the United States. And if the Republican lawsuit to kill the ACA succeeds, the wave will become a deadly tsunami.

Alors, je vous présente… our findings about (1) what academic #research already exists about UK charities & #philanthropy and (2) the topics on which UK charities & donors say that they would like more academic #research.

(Thread)
#charity #impact #eval #impinv
2/ Combined, the results are a ‘gap analysis’ which can inform future research. Both studies were funded by @Charity_Futures, re its work establishing an Institute of Charity at Oxford University. But the findings can inform the agenda of any researchers in this terrain.
3/ Full findings are here: giving-evidence.com/2019/07/02/sup…

Summary is here: givingevidence.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/press-…

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

Name one Central American asylee who has murdered more Americans than the Trump-radicalized anti-semitic, anti-refugee Pittsburgh terrorist.

Name one refugee of any nationality.

You can't do it.

Refugees aren't dangerous. Americans who think they're dangerous are dangerous.
Refugee fear-mongering isn't a legitimate political position. It's based on nothing but hateful lies. Trump and others promoting racist lies about asylum-seekers have blood on their hands. To go on thundering about the caravan is pure approval and incitement of racial violence.
I'm a free speech absolutist, but the case against hate speech laws is that they threaten liberty more than protect it. But they do protect it. Hate speech does lead to ethnic/religious violence. The Jewish victims of racist incitement in Pittsburgh aren't free; they're dead.

Pharma sector will get disrupted in the next 3-5 years❗️

Investors having material exposure must evaluate each story on the basis of 3 key parameters - IP Strategy, Physical & Social Technologies.

Above 3 will define the “future fitness” of the company you have exposure to❗️
Social Technologies in the context of Pharma are the capabilities around regulatory / legal systems; healthcare delivery systems in an environment friendly and economical / affordable manner so that the health benefits are realised by 99% of ‘not so rich’ global population!
Physical Technologies and IP are blended together to leverage not just the Green Chemistry, the Nanotechnology and Biotechnology but also the data / information integrity, secure documentation / regulatory filings and sustainable manufacturing technology!!

False reports of sexual assault not as rare as reported, studies show washingtontimes.com/news/2018/oct/… via @washtimes
The assertion from forces against Brett M. Kavanaugh that false allegations of rape or attempted rape are extremely rare is rebutted by a number of studies, researchers say.
Liberals on TV and social media said repeatedly during the Senate confirmation process that only 2 percent of charges are lies.
