Please keep your thoughts today w/ Puerto Rico. Earthquakes began to hit last night, tearing down schools & buildings. Island-wide blackouts reported. My abuela relies on oxygen, and the power outage means she’s not breathing as she should - just one of many such stories. 🇵🇷 — PolitiTweet.org

@aidachavez Yes! 🐶 the goal is to train him to be a community pup. Ideally we want to work to the point where he can enjoy town halls, be an Amtrak pup, come to the office, etc. But first, naps 😴 https://t.co/ec8beJTrmZ — PolitiTweet.org

@JJ_McCullough I hate to break it to you, but in the US there *are* party leaders with immense, concentrated power (via fundraising and other means), and they DO create enormous pressure to have their caucus members vote in set directions. I know this because it’s my job. — PolitiTweet.org

In our current primary field, some people treat healthcare as a right, and others don’t. Doesn’t make you enemies, it makes you different. Abroad, being in diff parties doesn’t mean you dislike each other. It means you acknowledge your differences and come together in coalition. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Yeah, I don’t know why people are up in arms about this. Many other countries have multiparty democracies, where several parties come together in a coalition to govern. In another country, I’d be in a Labor Party like Jacinda Ardern. Our primary field would cover 2-3 parties. — PolitiTweet.org

Targeting cultural sites is a war crime. It should also go without saying that sites like Persepolis (& its PEOPLE) are not only treasures to Iranians, they are gifts to humanity. They tell humanity’s story - that is why authoritarians target them. They want to erase history. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Remember when everyone mocked us for saying that fighting climate change is going to take a WWII-scale mobilization? Well, it’s already starting to happen. The question is: will we mobilize reactively to destruction, or will we act proactively for prevention? #GreenNewDeal — PolitiTweet.org

It was truly incredible this morning to join thousands of New Yorkers coming together against antisemitism and in active fellowship, allyship, and support for our Jewish brothers and sisters. Always an honor to march together, @bradlander! — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is a war crime. Threatening to target and kill innocent families, women and children - which is what you’re doing by targeting cultural sites - does not make you a “tough guy.” It does not make you “strategic.” It makes you a monster. — PolitiTweet.org

Here at home, inequality in military service means poorer areas of the country bear greater sacrifices for war. Abroad, 100s of 1000s of innocent people - dismissed as statistics - have had their lives ravaged by the consequences of our decisions. https://t.co/8wW8MR4M1j https://t.co/RXq9j3iXee — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

War is a class conflict, too. The rich and powerful who open war escape the consequences of their decisions. It’s not their children sent into the jaws of violence. It is often the vulnerable, the poor, & working people -who had little to no say in conflict - who pay the price. — PolitiTweet.org

2. Reintroduce & vote on @RepRoKhanna’s bipartisan NDAA amendment, which blocks $ offensive action to Iran. This amendment passed the House w/ bipartisan support not long ago, and was later gutted in negotiations. We can bring it back as a standalone bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Congress now has a moral and legal obligation to reassert its power to stop this war and protect innocent people from horrific consequences. We have two immediate options: 1. Vote on a War Powers Resolution, which requires Trump to attain Congressional approval. 2. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

War advocates start off saying “we all want peace, but...” or “it’s too late...” & frame a pro-peace agenda as naïve to realpolitik. Don’t give into this gaslighting. The same folks selling us Iraq and selling us this latest provocation of violence. We cannot repeat this cycle. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Right now is the moment to decide if you are pro-peace or not. The cheerleaders of war, removed from its true cost, will gladly convince you that up is down - just as they did in Iraq in ‘03. But war does not establish peace. War does not create security. War endangers us all. — PolitiTweet.org

This is just the beginning of our new climate reality. We must dramatically draw down CO2 to save our livable planet. And to those who mock the science saying we have 10 yrs to fix it: try telling the thousands of people displaced by disasters that they’re “just overreacting.” — PolitiTweet.org
