While I understand the need to winnow the field & Thursday's debate had more room for more discourse with fewer onstage, why can't there at least be a lower-polling debate? As I noted Thursday, I really felt the loss of Harris especially, but also Castro and Booker on stage.
This isn't 2016 when all the candidates were white and Hillary was to some degree Obama's heir-apparent. We began with six women and five POC. There are still five POC in the race (Harris out, Patrick in), but only one onstage. The absence is really apparent.
Sanders can turn every conversation about race, gender or LGBTQ to the billionaire class, but the fact is 75% of America is women and POC. White men are the minority. Maybe we should have a debate with just women and POC candidates? #RepresentationMatters

What. She. Said.
Several years ago being doxxed and harassed so soon after I'd nearly been killed by a serial rapist put me in the hospital with something called "broken heart syndrome." It happens a lot to women--brought on by extreme stress. How many women on here have had it?
What @magi_jay says is real. All @m_mendozaferrer did was tweet out videos by and news stories about a candidate. These men's own words are the problem, not the women highlighting how problematic they are. Stop being a participant in harming women and terrorizing their families.
And a reminder to the handful of women propping up the patriarchy in these attacks: Internalized misogyny is still misogyny and there is no progressivism on the planet that says women should be harmed so men can succeed. That's the literal antithesis.

One of my besties from Louisiana, where I used to live, just shared this story with me. We ALL need this story today.

LSU's QB, #JoeBurrow, won the #HeismanTrophy. During his speech, he talked about how where he's from, Athens County, is the poorest part of the state.
1/
Athens Co has double the national poverty rate. Kids go home from school hungry and there's nothing to eat.
Since Burrows' speech LSU fans and others have donated $500k to the Athens County food bank--and now it's spreading to food banks in Baton Rouge.

So while Trump is literally taking food away from poor people by cutting #SNAP, a college kid is raising awareness and getting help for kids with nothing to eat. In the #DemDebate @amyklobuchar said we need to remember our Dem values are morality and decency. This is that.

There is no question that the two women candidates won the #DemocraticDebate. @amyklobuchar and @ewarren each raised issues no one else did and answered questions the moderators asked that other candidates side-stepped. Each made powerful cases for her electability and strength.
.@TomSteyer had his best debate thus far. But his argument that no one else can bring it to Trump is false. He's not that strong a debater. @AndrewYang was better than Steyer, but still too dependent on his $1k UBI. He had a superb statement about being a feminist ally, though.
.@JoeBiden had a better debate than any recently and did a good job reminding people that he has been on the political stage for decades in a good way and only referred to Obama twice.
@BernieSanders was repetitive shouty Bernie. Warren won the left polemics over Bernie--bigly.

Corporate Bond Market in India - A snapshot

Corporate Bond Market comprises of all the debt fund-raising/ financing/ fund mobilisation activities by Corporates through debt capital market instruments - Debentures or Bonds. Read on to know more about this market. Thread 1/12
As per SEBI data, the total outstanding corporate bonds in India aggregate to ~ Rs. 30.63 lakh crore.

This is about one third the size of the G-Sec market as well as the aggregate of Bank credit (i.e. total outstanding loans of banks). 2/12
The accumulated value of all the Corporate Bonds outstanding is only about 16% of the GDP.

In comparison, the size of the US corporate bond market to GDP is ~124%. It shows that the corporates in India rely heavily on banks. 3/12

All those times May vacuously repeated “Brexit Means Brexit”.

If only she’d tried to find out what Brexit actually meant, she’d see the vast majority of her party was gaming it, and Parliament had very different, softer ideas.

In large part, this is on her.
There is a way forward today & tomorrow, a need for cool heads.

- CU & a referendum both had more support than PM’s Deal.

- Attaching a referendum to a CU deal is likely to win the House.

- Revoke is still better supported than No Deal. Labour must bank the insurance policy.
These measures of parliamentary consensus defeated in large part by the shower of Conservatives who wish for the calamity of No Deal.

24 Lab MPs voted against a confirmatory vote led to losing it by 12.

If Lab has supported Revoke, it would have won.

Consensus there to find.

WHISTLEBLOWING: Today, in accordance with our whistleblowing polices, I have formally reported my concerns about #seriousmalpractice in @TheGreenParty to the CEO and Chair of Executive. #GreenParty #whistleblowing #complainantidentity #Challenor @VeritaUK @InquiryCSA Please RT

I am raising alarm abt #seriousmalpractice in way members are being disciplined, now & in recent past, with regard to allegations of “transphobia”. I'm calling for urgent review of our complaints system & #specialmeasures to police these processes & safeguard against their abuse.
