@MichaelTanuvasa As I'm #ADOS, here's my idea:
We need universal basic services for EVERYONE (job guarantee, housing for all, education for all, Medicare for all, etc.) first so that any gains to the oppressed aren't immediately swallowed up by the system. 1/
@MichaelTanuvasa Once that's out of the way, then you can actually REPAIR or MAKE AMENDS (the word reparations comes from repair) the damage done by this corrupt system to #ADOS . 2/
@MichaelTanuvasa For me, it would begin with giving homes COMPLETELY paid off (and never taxed so no liens) to ALL #ADOS that don't currently own homes. This creates wealth that no one can take away. 3/

In these perilous times, people tend to forget that others are people as well. People that bleed, work, fight, love, raise families, etc.
The thought that people outside your circle is making them the 'other' to you. When you do that, it's causes you to dehumanize them. Then you can justify people starving, homeless, wars, etc.
It's time to realize that we are all human beings, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, income status, degree status, etc. If we can truly understand we are all equal, many issues would disappear.

@Matt_R_Hope @AndrewYang Incorrect on all aspects
@Matt_R_Hope @AndrewYang The already employed at less than the JG wage can tell corporations to bite them and join the JG
@Matt_R_Hope @AndrewYang Caring for sick relatives is considered a job under OUR definition of work.

I'm afraid I totally understand the establishment focus on the #muellerreport. It wasn't only meant to be a distraction: it served another insidious purpose. It kept us divided and from focusing on what's important.
What's important is that the duopoly has way more control than it should. This sham of a report just allowed them to weaken the paid opposition: @TheDemocrats. After the midterms, the GOP (also the paid opposition) was feeling a little weak.
Focusing on the sham report weakens the Democrats so that there's less opposition to Trump in the ways that help America. If the Democrats wanted to impeach Trump, they didn't need the #MuellerReport. All they had to do it focus on his business dealings while in office.

@tonetalks and @BreakingBrown, I've read your points about a #BlackAgenda and to be honest, I disagree with money of the points. As an #ADOS myself, there's a lot to benefit personally and for my family. I do have issues with how you dismiss a general progressive agenda.
I'm going to go step by step so there is no confusion or emnity. First, let me start by posting the link to the black agenda ados101.com/black-agenda. In the following tweets, I'm going to go step by step through them and how they relate to a progressive agenda in general
First plank: A specific affirmative action program for #ADOS. I have no arguments there as we know affirmative action helped white women more than anyone. We do need specific help in educational and job opportunities.

I'm sure I mentioned this before but after reading an article about @SenSanders, it made me want to talk about this again, perhaps from a different focus. As much as we know policy means everything, it's often hard to connect with people using it.
People are often emotionally driven. That means to connect with them, you have to make them feel something. This is where the battleground is. There's 2 strong emotions that drive people: fear and hope.
Fear drives people to run or fight against something because of negative thoughts of change. That's why conservative messaging works so well: it's a well thought out emotional barrage of fear porn. Unfortunately, Democrats also use this against us as well.
