Why am I running for POTUS?
Because while individual crime rates may have plummeted worldwide due to #COVID19, blatant examples of systemic racism, sexism and white supremacy here in the US have only become more numerous and visible.
Thread: 1/3
Black people are still being hunted (#AhmaudArbery),

women telling their stories of assault are still being discredited (#TaraReade),

& the State of NM has invoked Riot Control Act & deployed National Guard to keep natives from buying groceries.

All in the midst of a pandemic.
The fact that in the United States, We the People has never meant #AllThePeople, has never been more clear.

And that is why I am running for President of the United States.

From a Navajo man re: #FourthofJuly:
"While the #DeclarationOfIndependence may initially assert that 'All men are created equal,' thirty lines below that assertion, indigenous people are referred to as #mercilessIndianSavages.
(first 4 tweets are from #UnsettlingTruths Ch6)
1/
"The Founding Fathers could use the seemingly inclusive term 'all men' because they had a worldview informed by the Doctrine of Discovery that gave them a very narrow definition of who was actually human.
2/
"The Declaration of Independence reflects the theological imagination of its time. The Doctrine of Discovery and the myth of Anglo-Saxon superiority girds the imagination that elevates the white body, mind, language and culture.

This pattern is familiar:
US & X sign a treaty.
US pulls out of treaty & imposes sanctions.
X ceases to comply w/ broken treaty.
US decides to rejoin treaty but refuses to negotiate until X is in compliance.
X demands US drop sanctions imposed after we broke treaty.
US refuses.
Perhaps it's worth considering that other countries dislike the US, not because we're free, but because we negotiate with most of the world like they're children and we're their parent.
Just because @JoeBiden is nicer than #DonaldTrump, it doesn't mean his foreign policy is any less colonial/parental. Remember, the myth of American exceptionalism is a bipartisan value.

#ForThePeopleAct raises amt a national party can contribute to a POTUS candidate to $100,000,000. This ensures major party candidates will have a 100 million dollar advantage over 3rd party & independent candidates.
#GOP limits voters
#DEMS limit candidates
BOTH limit democracy Image
For comparison: The previous limit was "2 cents multiplied by the voting age population of the United States". In 2020 the voting age population was approximately 239 million, making the max contribution just under 5 million. Image
The max donation allowed by an individual to a National Party is $36,500 /year. So if I'm understanding this correctly, this means that for GOP & DEMS, 2,740 people will be able to increase their donation to directly benefit a single presidential candidate from $2,900 to $39,400. Image

@JoeAbuku @senatemajldr @SpeakerPelosi @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden My position is @senatemajldr blocked a DEM nominee in 2016 & justified it by saying he wanted to give the American people a chance to speak. He didn't have the courage to state his real reason which was that he had power & wanted to thwart our nation's first black President.
@JoeAbuku @senatemajldr @SpeakerPelosi @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden B/c @senatemajldr acted cowardly & tried to present his motivation as more noble than it was, he should now act with integrity and once again give the American people a chance to speak. Had he been honest in 2016 he could do what he's doing today & at least he'd be consistent.
@JoeAbuku @senatemajldr @SpeakerPelosi @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden In regards to the general question of confirming a SCOTUS nominee in the final year of a presidential term, I believe a President is elected for a four year term and maintains the full power and authority of that office until a new President is sworn in...
