The math we need to do is not just dollars and cents, but emissions reductions + projections. Any negotiations on climate need to ensure that we will come out climate positive. And that emissions math cannot be informed by fossil fuel lobbyists, who don’t even count methane. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We cannot advance legislation that makes the climate crisis worse. The Exxon-designed “bipartisan” infrastructure plan worsens emissions, but pairing it w/clean energy in Build Back Better neutralizes BIF’s harm and lets us tackle the climate crisis. We cannot afford to gut it. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ninaturner: Good morning. There’s power in withholding your labor. It’s your right. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

And by the way, free time is VALUABLE. People pay for time routinely, whether it’s in delivery, services, etc. It’s not lazy to stay home w family- it can lower costs. 700k+ people in the US have died of COVID so far. Do people think that has no impact on labor supply/ capacity? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Quitting being UI ineligible aside, the idea that laziness is why ppl stay home contradicts the “free market ideals” these folks pretend to champion. Markets apply to labor, too. If supply is low & demand high, price goes up. People seem to accept that for everything but wages. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Y’all already did over a month ago despite everyone having data that ending UI doesn’t push people back to work. Conservatives love to act like they’re “fiscally savvy” yet remain puzzled as to why people can’t work a job whose pay won’t even cover the childcare costs to work 🤡 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

There’s a reason white supremacy attacks history. Opposition to teaching bigotry’s history and where it leads- from the slave trade to the Holocaust - is about erasing society’s tools to recognize prejudice & prevent atrocity. Holocaust denial has no place in our society. None. — PolitiTweet.org

To expand on my first tweet: the @IATSE strike also includes post-production workers as well. Shout out to @MPEG700 ⤵️ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@jconguy @IATSE @UAW @BCTGM @MPEG700 Thanks for including! I’ll add a note since the twitter character count was so squeezed on the 1st one — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

How can you help? 1. Follow the example of this truck driver: if your work would ordinarily have you cross where a picket line has started, don’t! Solidarity is a virtue.🌹 2. Support a strike fund💰 3. Amplify the strike and the workers’ message to their company or industry🗣 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

#Striketober coming in hot 🔥 After years of being underserved and taken for granted - & doubly so during the pandemic - workers are starting to authorize strikes across the country: from @IATSE production workers to @UAW John Deere & @BCTGM Kellogg workers,& many more. Good.💪🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Ah yes, the Conservative Dem position: “You can either feed your kid, recover from your c-section, or have childcare so you can go to work - but not all three. All 3 makes you entitled and lazy.” But fossil fuel $, keeping Rx prices high,& not taxing Wall St are “non-negotiable” — PolitiTweet.org
