My family relied on food stamps (EBT) when my dad died at 48. I was a student. If this happened then, we might’ve just starved. Now, many people will. It’s shameful how the GOP works overtime to create freebies for the rich while dissolving lifelines of those who need it most. — PolitiTweet.org

I was in that CBP facility. There were cameras and monitors everywhere. Are we really supposed to believe that every single camera and every single feed in the detention center happened to go offline the day that I and an entire Congressional delegation visited? I don’t. — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
Of course CBP is saying the tape “doesn’t exist.” Bc then everyone would see the horrifying conditions I was talking about. If the full footage was released, you’d see CBP officers sneaking photos of me in secure spaces, and migrant women on the floor w/ their hair falling out. — PolitiTweet.org

To our friends in the UK: please cherish, protect, & continue investing in your healthcare system! Once Big Pharma & special interests get their hands on it, it could take generations to regain. Millions of people in the US are fighting to have a system half as good as the NHS. — PolitiTweet.org

A combined household income of $100k isn’t even “children of millionaires” territory. That’s two parents making $50k/each. Does that sound rich to you? It’s not. It’s a working family. And just as tuition-free K-12 public school was an option, tuition-free K-16 should be too. — PolitiTweet.org

5. Lastly, and I can’t believe we have to remind people of this, but it’s GOOD to have classrooms (from pre-k through college!) to be socioeconomically integrated. Having students from different incomes & backgrounds in the same classroom is good for society & economic mobility. — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
3. When you start carving people out & adding asterisks to who can benefit from goods that should be available to all, cracks in the system develop. 4. Many children of the elite want to go to private, Ivyesque schools anyway, which aren’t covered by tuition-free public college! — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
1. Universal public systems are designed to benefit EVERYBODY! Everyone contributes & everyone enjoys. We don’t ban the rich from public schools, firefighters, or libraries bc they are public goods. 2. Universal systems that benefit everyone are stronger bc everyone’s invested! — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
This is a GOP talking point used to dismantle public systems, & it’s sad to see a Dem candidate adopt it. Let’s talk about why Republicans are wrong on this. Just like rich kids can attend public school, they should be able to attend tuition-free public college. Here’s why. — PolitiTweet.org

Look out for those in politics who like to label themselves “fiscally responsible,” yet only seem to care about the price of justice - not the cost of oppression. Everything has a price. And an unjust society is far costlier than one that invests in & values all people. — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
None of the politicians who brand themselves “fiscally responsible” ever raise concern about rushing to shower ICE & CBP w/ $billions with 0 guardrails or oversight. None of them ask about how we pay for corrupt contracts or mass incarceration. Ask yourself why that is. — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
This is honestly one of the big reasons why the argument about “pay-fors” in healthcare, housing, etc so often are made in bad faith. I see decisions made every day that cost the American public billions of dollars a year for bogus reasons and nobody asks how we pay for it. /2 — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
Earlier this year, Congress rushed to approve BILLIONS more $ for ICE + CBP. I saw members voting YES w/o even a summary of the bill. Nobody cared then how we’d pay for it. Now ICE is setting up fake universities to trap students. Yet we were called radical for opposing it. — PolitiTweet.org

None of this is a critique on lawmakers who dial for dollars - they don’t want to be doing it in the first place. But to change this system, we must push hard to change the corrupting role of money in politics. And yes, those forces exist among all parties. — PolitiTweet.org
