With debate qualifications that ask supporters to contribute monthly to keep their candidate on stage, we should ask what the implications are for candidates of color.

The countries with the highest child poverty rate (GDP as % of global GDP):

🇹🇷 25.3% (1.24%)
🇮🇱 23.7% (0.6%)
🇪🇸 22.0% (2.3%)
🇨🇱 21.5% (0.5%)
🇺🇸 21.2% (24%)

It’s sad and cruel for any child to live in poverty — especially in a country with as much wealth as the United States.

Let me just say this–no matter how this whole #impeachment turns out. I will N-E-V-E-R forgive the many Americans who embraced @realDonaldTrump sang his praises, applauded him, and embraced his hate-filled retrograde America. He is the symptom. They are the true problem.

I firmly believe #KavanaughLied.

I have no doubt in my mind that not only did Kavanaugh lie, but he did so under oath.

His temperament, judgement, and inability to tell the truth is disqualifying from the bench.

But, additional sexual misconduct accusations demand impeachment!

Last year the Kavanaugh nomination was rammed through the Senate without a thorough examination of the allegations against him. Confirmation is not exoneration, and these newest revelations are disturbing. Like the man who appointed him, Kavanaugh should be impeached.
