While this administration is moving to take away lunches from 500 000 kids in need, I'd just like to remind everyone that:

- 40% of all food in America goes to waste.
- America's military budget is higher than the rest of the G7 countries COMBINED.
- The war on the poor is real.
This is what class warfare looks like.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom" - Martin Luther King Jr

Thread: Ppl tend to forget how pervasive the war on the poor is. They also make the mistake of viewing class warfare as a separate issue from Trump's rise. But politicians like him can't truly be challenged w/o challenging the system they use to maintain power in the first place.
Not only do gerrymandering and voter suppression not get a fraction of foreign election interference's coverage, only the latter is referred to as an "attack on democracy" by the media. The silencing of minorities and the poor may not be news, but it doesn't mean it isn't real...
"In never before published memos and emails, GOP leaders come clean: Their nationwide advantage in state legislatures and Congress is built on gerrymandering. And top Republican strategists and political operatives admit to weaponizing racial data..."

Nixon was a raging anti-Semite and a racist whose policies regularly targeted Black people.

You cannot hate Black Americans and Jewish Americans and still "genuinely care" for America.

You also don't need to prop up one bad man to call out another. Please STOP revising history.
Nixon sabotaged peace talks with Vietnam to win an election. No one who "genuinely cared for this country" would've done this.

"Nixon had competent advisors"

His own policy advisors admit that many of their policies were racist.

Trump is a horrible president, but there's absolutely no good reason to absolve past presidents of their sins to prove it. Doing so suggests that their victims never mattered.

Republicans had the White House and both Houses of Congress for 2 years and accomplished two main things:

- Give a tax cut to themselves and their rich friends
- Cut social services for the poor

Democrats NEED to remind people of this in their message during the 2020 election.
There's a reason why Republicans are constantly trying to change the subject. Stop letting them.

Republicans will spend this election painting anyone trying to help people as a socialist, but the focus has to remain on how much GOP greed is hurting anyone who isn't already rich.

A brief thread: I came into the sex/gender discussions with one objective -- to try to ensure that a conflict of human rights could be resolved without any person or group having their fundamental rights undermined. Over recent weeks and months it has been disheartening to see 1/
people ally with organisations or individuals who would like to take away fundamental rights from individuals on the basis of their protected characteristics. Everyone has fundamental rights by virtue of being born human, and at the heart of that system are the rights to live 2/
with dignity and not to be discriminated against on the basis of any protected characteristic. We need to find ways to uphold the human rights of all individuals and groups without undermining the rights of others. Solutions might be difficult to find, but we can only do this 3/

Forget the hand-waving and excuses. Bottom line: The reason Republicans keep moving to take away birth control us because they don’t want women to have birth control. salon.com/2019/08/20/why…
Republicans claim that contraception is collateral damage in some fight over something else, be it abortion (also not their business) or religious “liberty” (over someone else’s life).

Don’t believe the hype. They take away birth control because they don’t want you to have it.
The Trump administration claims taking birth control funding away from Planned Parenthood prevents abortion which is like taking away vaccines to prevent the measles.

They’re lying. They’re taking away birth control funding because they don’t want you to have birth control.

On the day I wanted to die, I woke up early and ran a mile. I came back home, made pancakes and watched my favorite TV show -Time of Death, while I ate my slightly burnt pancakes. My phone rang repeatedly but I didn't bother to check my caller ID.
I had a meeting slated for 11am -two hours before my death- so I knew it was definitely the office calling.
Some minutes after breakfast, I had a warm bath and waxed thoroughly, making sure no hair was left out.
Fresh out of the shower, I walked around my flat and idly wondered if there was a need to set things in order. Was there a need to write letters of regret to my family? No! I decided. I was in no mood to grant anyone closure, although I wished there was something...
