Let's talk about inflation and why Dems should be messaging it HARD 🧵
Wealthy corporations with monopoly power are jacking up their prices, and their profits are going through the roof. Big oil, food, shipping, health care, and real estate companies have been making record profits over the last two years. R's have no plan.

Thread: What's really happening with our borders and why.
Biden inherited a huge mess. Trump used cruelty and chaos to make a broken system worse
Donald Trump, along with his right-hand man Stephen Miller, waged a four year war on immigrants and refugees.
They ripped toddlers from the arms of their parents.
They dismantled asylum and gutted refugee resettlement.
They forced kids and families into dangerous areas of northern Mexico controlled by cartels and riddled with crime.

Last night a dear friend called me. She was on her way home from working in the Covid ward.
A patient who had been doing well crashed and had been intubated on her day off. Today she died as her husband of 68 years (who recovered) sat by her side.
In this small town hospital she says that every day someone dies of Covid. She’s struggling to understand what they are doing wrong and how so many can die but she is told it’s not just them, it’s like this everywhere.

Thread:
Since Trump's family separation policies began, I've been to ICE detention centers, CBP processing centers & the encampment at Matamoros. Prior to my first visit I had never witnessed a humanitarian crisis. I had never been to a war zone, or witnessed genocide.
I can not say the same today. I have seen the intentional infliction of trauma on innocent children on American soil by a government acting in all of our names. And that government has lied to you. These aren't drug dealers or rapists coming for you.

Everyone asks how I cope with the human suffering and abuse I witnessed at the CBP facilities. I struggle to find the words to convey what I have seen. It was a defining event in my life. There was my life before, and my life now. I will never be the same.
The only way I know how to move forward is to take action. Because if I don't I will break under the weight of grief and rage. So, to anyone listening please light a candle on July 12 in honor of those whose human rights we have violated. They are people. People just like us.
