I have a message for the #Kamala is a cop crowd. First, stop equating crime with Black people. Secondly, if you don't think murderers like the ones killing these innocent children in St. Louis need to be locked up then there is something wrong with your ass not #KamalaHarris.
The 2004 Essence article I referenced in the video offers proof that as DA #Kamala made it her top priority to tackle a backlog of homicide cases. Notably, she ALSO prioritized rehabilitation/prevention.
Closed caption video version here #CaptionKamala
I want to add one more thing- don't tell me Black ppl don't want justice when a relative is killed or harmed. #Kamala walked in as DA with a backlog of 100 unsolved homicides &74 cases. Many of the victims were Black...she valued their lives even when the prior DA & SFPD did not.

Today #Kamala unveiled her proposal for an inclusive economy and civil rights for people with disabilities. It never ceases to amaze me the ways in which #KamalaHarris ensures that diversity and inclusion are a cornerstone of her policies. #Kamala2020
#KamalasPlan pledges in partnership with the disability community, to "build an America that lives up to the promise" of the A.D.A.
✅Establish a grant program for states to help redesign business models/strategies to increase employment of ppl with disabilities
#KamalasPlan
✅ Expand the vocational rehabilitation system at the Department of Education so that it:
✅Removes barriers hindering ppl w/disabilities from getting jobs
✅Covers a wider range of services
✅Increases funding for workplace accommodations,adaptive tech, devices,etc

Thread: This gut wrenching article really underscores the urgency & importance of selecting a Dem candidate who will tangibly improve the lives of working Americans. Several policies in #Kamala's #3AMAgenda will tangibly make a difference for families like the Goodman family.
First issue: Rents are too high. Ms. Goodman makes $9/hr but her rent was $950/month. That is 66% of her income. #KamalasPlan called the Rent Relief Act will provide a tax credit caps rent & utilities at 30%. Non-partisan analysis determined RRA will lift 7.8M ppl out of poverty
Second issue: Stagnant wages
#Kamala supports raising the min wage to $15/hr but additionally, #KamalasPlan the LIFT Act would put $6,000/yr ($500 can be accessed monthly) in Ms. Goodman's pockets. Non-partisan analysis determined the LIFT Act lifts 9.6M ppl out of poverty

If y'all woulda voted for Stacey Abrams in GA we could be getting another Dem Senator in 2020.
PS- Everyone talks voter suppression (yes OBVIOUSLY it would've made a difference) yet over 1 million GA Dem voters stayed home for the Secretory of State runoff election a month later ensuring that Republicans continue free reign to suppress away.
If you are one of 1.9M people who voted for Stacey, I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU! 2,900,000 **REGISTERED** voters in GA didn't vote. Y'all are welcome to ignore the implications of not 2.9M REGISTERED ppl not voting, I won't. Voter suppression doesn't absolve millions who don't vote.

(1) I'm disappointed that the @nytimes chose to cherry pick a handful of anecdotes about the #OpportunityZones marketplace to support conclusions that don't reflect the reality of this bipartisan program that is having real impact around the country. nytimes.com/2019/08/31/bus…
@nytimes (2) Let's start at the outset: Referring to this program as a Trump tax break is in itself disingenuous. The #OpportunityZones legislation was cosponsored by nearly 100 Members of Congress, proportionally divided between GOP & Dems, including several Dem candidates for President.
@nytimes (3) I'm deeply aware of the efforts to get bipartisan support, including economists like @econjared & @Austan_Goolsbee, because I was one of the co-founders of @InnovateEconomy, and served as CEO when the #OpportunityZones program was formulated, after my time in the Obama Admin.

Starting this book.
1/ Anderson begins by noting the media's conclusion that African Americans did not show up for Clinton in 2016 because they just weren't that into her is wrong. Republicans systematically made it more difficult for people of color to vote.
2/ 1890: The Mississippi Plan was passed to ensure "voter integrity." Combining poll taxes, literacy tests, voter registration rules, understanding clauses, and good character tests, the goal was to restrict the vote without using race explicitly

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

No evidence: the drug wore off, he used a condom, she woke up confused and drove home after the humiliating conversation. They were friendly the day before and she accepted his offer to stay over instead of taking the road so late. No witnesses. The perfect #crime. #FicFri
Overdose survived. She flirted with him until he invited her over again. She denied him nothing in bed, she was #obsequious. “I’ve got a surprise”, she said, and massaged his feet as he sipped the wine she gave him. He died of sepsis a week later. #vss365 #AmWriting
“He committed #treason against the sacred dojo. He disgraced the sport”, they said. “Perhaps. I am still going to the cremation ceremony. We must protect our art and not speak ill of a dead coach”, she said. “If he has a #soul, it will burn in hell”, they said. #FP #FridayKiss
