@CarIegend It’s such a common and brazen practice to be told or “encouraged” to clock out while still being told to work. The veiled threat is that you need to work for free or else you won’t be able to work at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@OliverHidWoh Yes. This is why we pay our interns! It’s worked out well: our interns are incredibly talented, brilliant, diverse, and come from working class backgrounds & local community. Our youth get a life-changing opportunity & there’s 💯 no way we’d be able to do it if they were unpaid. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m curious - how has wage theft shown up in your life? Have you ever had an employer steal your wages? (Wage theft isn’t just not receiving a check - it’s being forced to do work off the clock, not being paid for overtime, being denied breaks, etc.) Share your stories below ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

I experienced it first hand as a waitress. A manager forced me to clock out before I was done finishing my work, & I couldn’t leave. When I spoke up about it, my schedule was changed to late, unusual, poorly tipping hours for a week. (image source: https://t.co/gOgUrALX0R) https://t.co/QQE94wLCRo — PolitiTweet.org

One of the largest forms of theft in the US today is wage theft. — PolitiTweet.org

Remember this? Facebook’s ties to white supremacy-linked orgs and sympathy for disinformation campaigns is not a small thing. It is high level decision making, and appears to come from the top. Rewatch this moment. Especially the end. It’s relevant to what‘s unfolding now. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Democrats should not allow FISA to proceed. Congress should be fighting for people’s rights, not the dangerous expansion of warrantless surveillance, nor exposing people’s private browser histories w/o a warrant. We shouldn’t support it ever, and we *especially* shouldn’t now. — PolitiTweet.org

Zuckerberg is not worried about being bullied by Trump. He is worried that Facebook’s PR operation is falling apart as it’s exposed that their platform relies on white supremacists & disinformation peddlers to be successful. They aren’t ignoring them. They’re protecting them. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Yep. When people are aghast and say we can’t close prisons, I just tell them affluent suburbs already have. It look like this: - good schools - full employment - default emphasis on alternatives to incarceration (ex. community service) - healthcare, incl mental &rehab - housing — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll just say it: a lot of politicians are scared of the political power of the police,and that’s why changes to hold them accountable for flagrant killings don’t happen. That in itself is a scary problem. We shouldn’t be intimidated out of holding people accountable for murder. — PolitiTweet.org
