THREAD: It occurs to me that while Trump retains high approval ratings among R's, his policies are much LESS popular. I think in terms of messaging, it makes sense to focus on policies, not Trump. Let's talk:
#FamilySeparation
#TradeWar
#Medicare
#SocialSecurity
#GOPTaxScam

As long as issues get easily interpreted through party heuristic, trump keeps winning. Take it out of the partisan lens- let's talk about how
#TradeWar will hurt your business/job/home expenses.
#separatingfamilies offends your values
#Medicare helps you/your parents /2

Let's talk about how:
#SocialSecurity is your retirement plan that YOU PAID for
#GOPTaxScam gave money to the rich & at best put less than $20 in your paycheck
Yes- the election is a referendum on trump- but it should be about his POLICIES b/c those are the true horror. /3

This is #DeepStateCabal targeting/retaliation the Trump's don't experience! Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not well off. Social Security was my only source of income for the past 15 yrs! Getting public assistance delayed as well! #HonestServiceFraud

This medical appt was all that was left for me to qualify for General Assistance. I didn't have an income for this mo. I had 119.00 left from last mo. That's what I've had to live on for the month! Those interfering are Minnesota human/child traffickers!

I have been battling a new health crisis since my surgery was postponed June 15.

There is no way to adequately articulate--even as a writer--the breadth of hardship inflicted on sick Americans by the Trump presidency & Trump-led #GOP, like lame-duck @SpeakerRyan.

@CDCgov

The @CDCgov cites 133M as the number of chronically-ill Americans who have #cancer, like I do, or another illness that impedes their daily lives.

The majority of that 40% of the US population still have to work despite often disabling illness because we cannot afford not to.

I've been writing about #healthcare in America since I was a cub reporter and put on a small story in the mid-80s that turned into a much bigger story: #AIDS.

When you're in your 20s writing about other 20somethings dying, it changes you.

Then I got #breastcancer at 26.

a minor, that I just discovered within the last year, 20+ yrs after divorcing him. The offense I was aware of came after that one and he only did a year in a halfway house and as far as my attempts is NOT on any national sex offender registry, which I was told was up to public

Hmmm, then why are they so evasive with the clients they serve? ...aka their BOSS, THE PUBLIC! Can't get an email confirmation from Minnesota St. Louis County Social Service Public Aid concerning a faxed online file of proofs?!
work.chron.com/list-public-se…

Not to mention I was in person at the office yesterday and no one could look to see if they were received and sufficient for what they need?! One specific is a so called Triage Worker who's title insinuates they PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC BASED ON DEGREE OF URGENCY!

Rory👇IS NOT who I refer to above. I emailed the same fax file to a Triage Social Worker yesterday, (shoulda been in her email inbox upon her arrival at work) morning & heard notta back! Not to mention the front desk couldn't check?!

This is the type of absolute denial of facts and reality occupying the #MAGA crown. There is no where in America, not one state, where the average gas price is not higher, generally by between 40-50 cents, according to the AAA, not known for faking basic data for partisanship.

The link to where you can see this for yourself is provided. I just looked at all fifty states. No state has longer cost gas today than a year ago. And for this particular statement to be true, the cost would actually need to be approx $1.30-$1.50 cheaper than current averages.

For many places, that would mean it being down by almost 50% or more from the average price. Wherever this half of gas sale is, I’d love to know. So there are two options here: this person lives in the one place in America where gas prices are at $1.75 or so, or they are wrong.

Trump's Robin Hood in reverse budget would be devastating for nearly every community across the U.S.

Here are just a few ways the #TrumpBudget would hurt:

Women
People with disabilities
Rural Americans
Communities of color
Children
Older Americans
LGBTQ individuals
Veterans

1. WOMEN

Women make up two-thirds of adults on Medicaid—which Trump calls for ending as we know it, leaving millions of women without health coverage. And he'd defund Planned Parenthood, cutting off access to family planning & well-woman care.

2. PEOPLE W/DISABILITIES

Trump’s deep Medicaid cuts jeopardize health care & vital services for 15M people w/disabilities. His budget also slashes #SocialSecurity disability benefits, housing for PWD--and even closes the Limb Loss Resource Center.

THREAD-It took me a few days to reflect on what I think of the zero draft of #globalcompactmigration; having been so close to the process and substance for the last few months, my first thought is that there is a lot to take in! And that's good: we need ambition (1) #formigration

And that was not a given;many commentators say that they are 'surprised not to be disappointed'-as they usually are.Stakes are high too,with US withdrawal, Hungary on the verge and may European states concerned that #UNSG report unbalanced #formigration #globalcompactmigration(2)

@m_clem

There is a lot to like in 22 (!) objectives:concrete proposals on labour and skills,like #Globaskillspartnership promoted by @m_clem and on access to #socialprotection & portability of #socialsecurity;on vulnerability and missing migrants #formigration #globalcompactmigration (3)

THREAD: Do you feel it? Something shifting? Accelerating? This week I keep hearing @TimothyDSnyder in my head. #Tyranny is on the move.

1. This week, the FCC voted to end #NetNeutrality despite its popularity. This give away to ISP's is more concerning than the normal kleptocratic giveaways of this regime because it directly affects media and public discourse.

2. Of course, we all knew it was coming. I didn't even wait for the news yesterday because I knew. I knew from Pai's appointment and the sham call for comments that they hid & then hijacked. I knew when they dumped the news the wed. before thanksgiving. Yesterday was confirmation

WaPo is out with its latest on #SocialSecurity disability benefits and boy do I have some thoughts. /1

More than anything the piece underscores how tragically meager disability benefits are. /2

One of the people it profiles literally digs up and sells roots to survive when her benefits run out every month, hoping for $50 or so. /3
