It is a cruel jest to say to people who have suffered inhumane treatment for centuries to unite with those who have caused a lot of pain

AFGHANISTAN UPDATE 🧵:
I am currently working with 28 people on the ground trying to get to #HamidKarzai airport—1/3 are kids under 12. They are US citizens, legal permanent residents or immediate family members of USCs. The situation on the ground is NOT as it’s being reported:
The Taliban is reporting that they are not stopping foreign nationals from accessing the airport: WRONG.

There are crowds of thousands and, per one of my people: [translated] “There were taliban pushing people away and not letting anyone through, even with a US passport.”
The US Military & Embassy are reporting the airport is fully secure and they’re getting 500-600 people out per hour: MISLEADING.

US Forces have control of one side of the airport, but the civilian side is completely Taliban-controlled and they’re not letting people through.

Why focus on LABELS certain physicians don’t like to hear?

#Armenia #Yerevan #Transsexual #Hatecrimes
-THREADE-

Yerevan April 28, 2020. The 28-year-old, known by her first name in Armenia, is the first transsexual to speak in parliament. "People like me are being tortured, raped, kidnapped, burned, and attacked in this country."
Her speech takes less than three minutes. Soberly and with numbers, she describes the discrimination and persecution of people with a deviant sexual identity in the Caucasian country. What follows is a wave of hatred and threats that collapses over Lilit.
The session leader in parliament, Naira Zohrabyan, accuses Lilit of "disregarding the agenda" and "disrespect". Shortly afterwards, the first hateful messages and death threats appear on Lilit's Facebook page. Someone publishes the address of their apartment on the Internet.

11 Ways Trump’s Condition Undermines Our Republic By Vince Greenwood, Ph.D. -- a thread:

#DutyToInform #DutyToWarn #UnfitToBePresident
1. Because of his greater than normal need for stimulation and impulsivity, disruptions to our government’s legal, financial, and administrative functions will accumulate.
2. In the exercise of his duties — at every choice point — power and dominance will prevail over others’ welfare. #DutyToInform

Today, August 12, is a day forever engrained in the memories of Susan Bro and Haifa Jabara. Their children, #KhalidJabara and #HeatherHeyer, were murdered in hate crimes on the same day, one year apart. Our thoughts are with both families on this difficult day.
As @SusanBro7 and Haifa Jabara wrote last year: "As any mother who has lost a child knows, there are no words to adequately convey the sense of loss & pain."

#JabaraHeyerNOHATEAct
They are united by more than grief & shared anniversary. Khalid & Heather's murders were not reflected in hate crime data. Both were high profile #hatecrimes & prosecuted as such. Yet they weren’t included in the federal govt’s count of hate crime data.

1. There is a #manbaby @1600Pennsylvania who has fomented hate, racism & xenophobia consistently. Now #AsianAmericans are suffering unnecessarily. @AGWilliamBarr needs to address these 1000s of #hatecrimes. People have died by mistakenly #selfmedicating believing false rhetoric
2. espoused by #POTUS. You are not a medical professional. Don't #BS aboit your uncle's teachings @realdonaldtrump. In NYC this week #EMTs answered 6500 calls in one day...when 4k is normally a high#. Staff has become ill or quarantined forcing others to work harder longer.
3. This speaks to the failure of our #healthcaresystem that is out of supplies, equipment, facilities and tools while the #medicalindustrialcomplex reaps profirs and you #POTUS refuse to enact #DefenseProductionAct since #corporateCEOs caution against their livelihood if you do

I was honored to join @TerryMcAuliffe @NewJerseyOAG and @GeorgetownICAP's Mary McCord for an important panel on #HateCrimes and what cities and states are doing in terms of education and prevention of these horrible crimes.

You can watch a recording here: bit.ly/2PvASBM
@TerryMcAuliffe @NewJerseyOAG @GeorgetownICAP According to @DCPoliceDept, the number of reported #hatecrimes in DC jumped over 300% between 2015-2018—from 66 incidences to a record of 205.

This is unacceptable. Every District resident deserves to feel safe.
At a time when the President of the United States gives cover to white supremacists and has openly bigoted individuals working in his administration, it’s more important than ever for state and local governments to take an active role against extremism and #hatecrimes.

Maybe there's a billionaire not running for President who could create some ads showing the devastation Trump is causing. Separate ads could feature:
- A farmer bankrupted by #TrumpTariffs
- A family devastated by #StochasticTerrorism
- A child whose family lost #FoodStamps (1/5)
- A senior whose #SocialSecurity disability benefits have been cut
- A #Kentucky coal miner whose mine shut down
- A parent who lost his job after his company used the #GOPTaxScam to buy back stock
- A #MinimumWage worker falling deeper into debt despite working 2-3 jobs (2/5)
- Residents in one of the communities like Key West, FL being devastated by #ClimateChange
- A family hit with a medical emergency who have to resort to #GoFundMe for to pay bills
- A synagogue targeted by the #AntiSemitism Trump has unleashed (3/5)

NEW REPORT: Today, our office is releasing a report that elevates community concerns about housing #discrimination, racism, and violence against the #LGBTQ+ community—and how our office is responding to protect residents: bit.ly/2JXw3hP
At OAG's #civilrights listening sessions this summer, community members described to us a painful truth—many DC residents still face harmful #discrimination and even violence because of who they are, who they love, or where they are from.
These passionate and personal stories have pointed our #civilrights work to a path forward.

We recently introduced legislation to help combat #hatecrimes in DC and have filed several lawsuits to stop unlawful housing discrimination in the District.

Every District resident deserves to feel safe being their authentic self.

Today, Deputy AG Toni Jackson testified on the alarming rise of #hatecrimes in the District and how OAG’s proposed legislation would allow us to hold offenders accountable and help survivors. Image
Our bill would allow us to bring civil actions against anyone who commits #hatecrimes to seek restitution for the victim and civil penalties from the perpetrator.
With this bill, we are sending a clear message that this type of bias-motivated violence is not tolerated in the District.

Thanks to @CMCharlesAllen for holding this important hearing on how we can make the District safer for all members of our community.

Last week, @SwarajyaMag accused us--without seeking our comment--of selective use of hate-crime #data, offering 35 cases from the English media not in our database, and 23 taken from the Hindi press. As promised, we checked all these cases. Here is our response
Of 35 cases-- 9 cases fit the description of a hate crime--as our methodology clearly lists. We have added these to our database.
One case Swarajya pointed out was already recorded in the database, and so has been dropped. 2 cases have been put on hold: 1 has been referred to our advisors for adjudication, the other, owing to conflicting news reports of the incident, has been referred to a fact finding team
