🚨 The Trump admin is ENDING FEDERAL FUNDING for coronavirus testing sites on Friday 🚨 Yes, you read that right. It’s completely irresponsible. If anything, we should err on the side of testing “too much” - we’re *nowhere* near that. Trump ending support now will cost lives. — PolitiTweet.org

We said this from the start: when you speak truth to power, power fights back. Did you know that the “US Chamber of Congress” is actually a misleadingly-named Corp lobbyist group? They’re coming for me bc I call out corrupt Wall St bailout schemes. We welcome their contempt.✌🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes it still stops me in my tracks that because I believe insulin should be free, workers shld be paid justly, we shld house the homeless and not cage families, & that all people should be free to pursue education as they wish,for THAT we are treated as radical & dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

East Elmhurst is a historically Black community in the shadow of LGA’s fumes. This is why environmental justice is a core principle of the Green New Deal. We must acknowledge the impact of racial disparity in power + policy if we are going to fix this. https://t.co/ufP0S0RbaD — PolitiTweet.org

For people who started screeching when I named environmental racism+COVID: Black + Brown communities have long been treated as dump yards. Trucking + waste sites spike respiratory & other disease. The Bronx already had some of the highest asthma rates in the US. Then COVID hit. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you Bernie - for doing your best to fight for all of us, from the beginning, for your entire life.

If you don’t believe undocumented workers should have access to relief during #COVID19, does that mean you’re willing return the billions they pay in taxes each year? Will you defund your schools? Or, in this moment, will we recognize that we should just take care of each other? — PolitiTweet.org

I deal w/ a lot of violent threats, vitriol, etc. But I never get more hate aimed at me than when I address racial inequities. If some people think racial disparities are as much a myth as other issues I discuss, then why do they get so much more violent & angry on this topic? — PolitiTweet.org
