Dear uncommitted voters in Michigan, I get it… what’s going on in Gaza is horrific. I get that you want Biden to call for a Ceasefire now. I get that you don’t want your tax dollars contributing to the death and destruction. With that being said… Do you get that Trump and the republicans are committed to destroying Gaza? Do you get that Trump and Bibi are BFFs? Do you get that Trump tried to impose a Muslim ban? Do you get that Trump would send Israel bulldozers to level out Gaza?

Dear Republican women, we need to talk. How many of you had a miscarriage? How many wanted that baby, planned for that baby, already loved that baby? 16% of pregnancies ended from a miscarriage, and I can guarantee it didn’t just happen to democrats. Want to know why? The States with the highest fetal mortality rates are red. States like Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Tennessee and Arkansas. As some of you know, many of those miscarriages required a D/C and or medication assistance.

Here goes my thread. I keep hearing the phrase “this isn’t your parents Republican Party” and it’s been bothering me for oh so many reasons. One big reason is that no one pushes back on that fallacy. Of course this is your parents Republican Party just in modern times. Republicans love to proclaim they are the party of fiscal responsibility. Ten of the eleven U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents. Every time a Republican took over from a Democrat, GDP growth fell. Every time a Dem took control the GDP rose.

If you read one thread today, I hope it’s this one. These are facts not feelings. Trans people experience violence at 2.5% of cisgenders. transgender people account for 0.11% of the population 16 and older, but are the victims of 0.27% of all violent victimizations reported. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals experience violent victimization at rates far higher than their straight counterparts. Lesbian and gay people experienced 44 victimizations per 1,000 people, which was more than twice the victimization rate of straight people (19/1000)

I’ve never been known to hold back or sugar coat things, and I sure as shit won’t start now. Oh so you’re a democrat or liberal contemplating voting for a Republican because of inflation? Fuck you. The cost of eggs is more important than the cost of democracy? Fuck you The cost of gas is more important than what it will cost when women lose the right to choose? Fuck you

Let’s talk about what “with the exception for rape or incest entails. For starters, you have to file a police report. Now the female has to endure 6-8 hour rape kit, forcing her to be violated, AGAIN… But wait there’s more. In Oklahoma, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, South Carolina, Georgia, and Iowa, abortion bans with exceptions for rape and incest are either already in effect or could take effect in the near future, pending the outcome of a court case.

Time to list some facts

Dear young people, now is your time to shine. If you want to live in a country where the environment is protected, vote democrats. If you want to live in a country where weed is legal, vote blue. If you want to live in a country where STEM programs, History, facts, trade schools, higher Ed matters, vote blue. If you want to live in a country where you’re not crippled by student loan debt, vote blue.

Dear Republicans… When was the last time an undocumented migrant took your job? I’ll wait. Were you a teacher, librarian, bus driver, truck driver, pharmacy tech, nurse, doctor, finance director, or a sitting member of congress? I’ll wait.. When was the last time you were passed over for healthcare, SNAP, WIC, housing, or enrollment in school because of an undocumented migrant? I’ll wait.

Dear Georgia, republicans are telling you proudly and publicly just how little they care about you. They don’t care that their candidate isn’t qualified to be a senator never mind the fact he’s not qualified to be a Walmart welcomer. They don’t care that he beats women, abandons his children, lies about his education, businesses, charities, law enforcement, or that he pays for abortions.

20,000 active duty military families receive SNAP benefits. 1.2 million veterans receive SNAP benefits. Every year, Republicans vote to defund SNAP. Outraged? 3.6 million military children receive Medicaid benefits. One in 10 veterans rely on Medicaid for healthcare services. Every year, Republicans vote to defund Medicaid. Outraged?

Let’s break this down: Federal student loans for undergraduates currently have an interest rate of 4.99 percent for the 2022-23 school year, while graduate students have interest rates of 6.54 percent or 7.54 percent for unsubsidized loans or PLUS loans, respectively. Wanna fix student debt going toward? Cap the interest rate at 1-2%.. this way you don’t end up paying 2-5x the original note..

When republicans fake their outrage about the economy, they don’t have a plan, they only have propaganda. Here are the facts under GOP leadership: The economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%. A record eight years and four months of monthly job gains — dating to October 2010 — ended February 2019, roughly a year before the pandemic. The U.S. lost 50,000 jobs that month. The U.S. would go on to add 2 million jobs in 2019, but that was the lowest annual growth since 2010

Dear MSM, it’s time to change your narrative. Instead of saying “ democrats failed to pass legislation”, say “republicans voted against legislation that helps their constituents”. Instead of saying “Biden faces inflation crisis”, Start pointing out how $1.7 trillion tax cut for the 1%, Trump tariffs and failed policies created this crisis. Instead of talking about the obvious increase of gas prices, start highlighting that oil and gas companies had an increase of 300% in profits,

Republicans will chant “thoughts and prayers” after 20 kindergartners are executed in school, as they step over the corpses to vote against gun reform. Republicans will scream “voter fraud” as they vote against election security 3X. Republicans will cry “my body my choice” when it comes to a life saving vaccine, but will force a 12 year old to give birth to her rapist’s baby. Republicans will salute the blue and claim the party of law and order, as they beat police with an American flags.

The US economy added 5,583,000 jobs, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.This is the highest number of jobs created in the first 10 months of any presidency since records began in 1939. Wages in the US are up 4.9% this October compared with the same time last year. Now let’s talk about TFG. Trump was the first president since Hoover to leave office with less jobs. But the economy grew only 2.3% in 2019
The real GDP declined 3.4% in 2020 from the previous year. It was the largest drop since 1947

Let’s talk about Nikki Haley’s record when she was governor of South Carolina… @NikkiHaley You championed to bring Volvo plant to the state, had a reported price tag of $70 million of state "surplus" money and a remaining $53 million through economic development bonds. By one estimate, the deal could cost taxpayer $87 million in interest payments alone.

I’ve been watching Dopesick and it makes me feel sick. It makes me feel sick because it’s personal. It’s personal because I’ve been to more funerals than weddings. I don’t need to go to high school reunions because I see all my old friends either in line at a wake or coffin It makes me feel sick that 20 plus years later, millions dead many of those friends and patients that I loved, and nothing has changed. Big Pharma writes the rules and dictates policy. Rehabs are profit over people.

When I was pulled over for an expired registration, the trooper had my car towed and drove me home. When I got pulled over after a long night of driving, the trooper told me to drive straight home. When I got arrested, I got handcuffed in the front, was allowed to use my phone and they officers brought me to breakfast before taking me to the court house. I think about these incidents a lot, and how different they might be if I wasn’t white.

Four years ago, 89.7% of Americans had health insurance. By 2019, that number had dropped to 86.3%; then 5.4 million more Americans lost their health insurance in the middle of a pandemic. Four million hospitality workers haven’t seen a paycheck since March while retail sales jobs are still down by 600,000.

Here’s what Trump is doing to the Hispanic population. He is seeking to cut the Department of Housing and Urban Development by about $8.6 billion (15.2 percent), which would take a toll on the economic empowerment of millions of Latinos. Today, Latinos already account for a $2.3 trillion economy—the eighth largest in the world if it were ranked on its own. Investments in programs that empower Latino communities.
