It must be said here - amplification is necessary but not sufficient. Traction on this issue is very dependent on your calls to Congress. Retweets aren’t enough. Call your member of Congress & let them know how you’d like to be represented on this matter: https://t.co/t177CriorL — PolitiTweet.org

The United States should not be rubber-stamping weapons sales to the Israeli government as they deploy our resources to target international media outlets, schools, hospitals, humanitarian missions and civilian sites for bombing. We have a responsibility to protect human rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Learn more about Brad and his policy proposals (which are very exciting and include items like public solar + banking!) here: https://t.co/UbB4bOAv6z — PolitiTweet.org

Why @bradlander? Brad co-founded the NYC Council’s Progressive Caucus. He helped bring participatory budgeting to NYC. He’s fought to protect freelancers from wage theft & for Uber/Lyft drivers to earn living wages. He’s fought racial discrimination in our schools and policing. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Budgets are moral documents. That means the leader who oversees NYC’s budget has a profound moral responsibility to everyday people. @bradlander deeply understands that responsibility & has long been true to it. NYC: Elections are next month! Vote Brad Lander for Comptroller 🗳 — PolitiTweet.org

So are the extensively researched, painstaking conclusions from the UN, Human Rights Watch, and B’Tselem (among the largest human rights orgs in the world and in Israel) considered “outbursts” too? Or is that just a descriptor MSN reserves for the women legislators quoting them? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is happening with the support of the United States. I don’t care how any spokesperson tries to spin this. The US vetoed the UN call for ceasefire. If the Biden admin can’t stand up to an ally, who can it stand up to? How can they credibly claim to stand for human rights? — PolitiTweet.org

And now it’s revealed that this person showed up to members of Congress’ doors with folks from the mob who infiltrated the Capitol, beat Capitol Police, and strung up nooses in front of the House. If the shoe were on the other foot, the GOP would be calling for my expulsion. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The fact that Kevin McCarthy, the House @GOPLeader, stripped Justin Amash of all committee seats for criticizing Trump, but has worked to protect this person from consequences (including pretending he doesn’t see it) tells you this is happening with the support of GOP leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

But even after that 4:32pm verbal auth, Maj Gen Walker testified he wasn’t notified of authorization to send Nat Guard to Capitol until 5:08pm. Capitol complex wasn’t secure until 8pm. The answers Trump’s acting SecDef gave for delays are not sufficient at all. Big q’s here. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

So what happened between 3:19pm and 5:08pm on Jan 6th? 4:08pm: Pence makes an urgent call. He told the Sec of Defense to “Clear the Capitol.” At 4:32pm, hours after seige began but minutes after Pence call, the SecDef gave *verbal* authorization to send Nat Guard to Capitol — PolitiTweet.org
