What’s the best explainer of #GOPTaxPlan that you’ve read?
This is a great detailed explanation of #GOPTaxPlan but is written for someone with more familiarity of the tax code than most people. Looking for something similar that actually explains each thing: money.cnn.com/2017/12/02/pf/…
This is a little better in giving you a sense of what it would be like for 5 different families under the new #GOPTaxPlan. Ideally, an interactive version would be best so people could see what it would mean for them: cbsnews.com/amp/news/senat…
Didn’t exist so I made my own thread explaining here:

I don’t remember the Anita Hill hearings (I was 1), but I’ve seen the movies/documentaries and read the book.

I know a lot of people are in deep despair right now but I think that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is another step towards progress. Still too slow. Thread:
1. I’ll say at the outset that I think it very much matters that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is white. If this were a Black woman and a Black nominee, the dynamics and culture would be different.
2. Dr. Blasey Ford felt comfortable coming forward. She reached out to her Senator (a woman!) with this information. She thought it might matter.

Professor Hill answered questions by the FBI during a background check and did so reluctantly. She knew she wouldn’t be believed.

People’s response to McCain’s passing and his memorial today shows me that we are very bad at nuance.
John McCain fought for and served his country. He had a life dedicated to serving the public.

He also made a number of racist comments over the years and consistently voted in ways that hurt marginalized people. Also, Sarah Palin.
George Bush got on TV after 9/11 and defended Muslim Americans. My parents were in awe.

He then got us into a nonsensical war that included gross human rights violations. He also presided over economic policies that led to the Great Recession.

Someone should tell him that land distribution was part of the agreement that ended apartheid.

The dog whistles are sirens.

Here’s my piece on what I learned about ending institutional racism by studying South Africa: rewire.news/article/2018/0…
International outrage about a “genocide” against white farmers in South Africa ignores the data

Here is the history of land restitution. It’s literally in the constitution of South Africa. sahistory.org.za/article/land-r…

Hi. I was on the @ForbesUnder30 list this year. I have heard a lot of critiques of the list and how intergenerational wealth/access plays a role in success, especially at a young age.

I think lists/stories like this should include people’s debt as well as wealth for context.
We should also include how people make use of government programs and resources to succeed relative to jobs created.

The roads we drive on? Didn’t build it.

The postal service that delivers products? Didn’t build it.

The huge tax break she’ll get this year? Didn’t earn it.
We should also talk about how much more expensive it is to be poor than well off.

The inability to buy thinks in bulk really reduces your marginal profit.

High interest rates on loans rather than loans from parents cuts into profits.

Being unbanked? Credit scores? Etc.

The women’s march if this happened...

70% of the country is pro-choice. CC: @VoteChoice
However, I don’t think many people are vocal about their views. I’ve heard people who’ve done much deeper dives in the space than me say that folks will profess to be anti-choice, but when you dig deeper it’s more complicated.
People seem to have an imaginary idea of who gets an abortion and what qualifies as a “good” abortion and a “bad” abortion. Of course, when you make laws, those distinctions are hard to create. I think when women realize THEIR rights may be changed, they’ll push back.
