Preserving the filibuster is not worth letting millions of people in this country go hungry, sleep in their cars, or struggle to afford baby formula. — PolitiTweet.org

Please ask yourself: when was the last time you saw next-generation, world class technology for education, healthcare, housing, etc consistently prioritized for underserved communities like this? — PolitiTweet.org

Shout out to everyone who fought against community advocates who demanded these resources go to investments like school counseling instead. Now robotic surveillance ground drones are being deployed for testing on low-income communities of color with under-resourced schools 👍🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

We’re gonna pass the #EqualityAct today, protect our LGBTQ+ family and make the world a little bit better. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Nothing is going to stop that. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

You could just vote “no” instead of trying to get out of work early. And you should probably stop using those hashtags because women’s rights include trans women. ✌🏽🏳️‍⚧️💜 — PolitiTweet.org

@RachelBitecofer People have been writing about the deeply concerning issues with the structure of DHS for a long time. This is from 3 years before I was even elected. It’s not “fringe” to ask why FEMA & ICE are in the same Dept operation. Or question ICE’s operations https://t.co/386k6a0yJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@RachelBitecofer Maybe I’m not trying to calculate my stances in service of a positional career aspiration, but rather use my seat to advocate for what I believe is right. Challenging DHS is not an “extreme, fringe” view. DHS is rel. new & its Patriot Act powers have long been controversial. — PolitiTweet.org

1 short term shift is requiring influx facilities w/ children to be licensed. Another issue is whether these services should be contracted out the way they are And whether facilities w/ controversial records (ex. Homestead) should even be reopened — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@YensidLeanna46 An immediate improvement would be to require influx facilities w/ children to be licensed. Another issue is whether these services should be contracted out the way they currently are to begin with And whether facilities w/ controversial records (eg Homestead) should be reopened — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes I see people respond to our current immigration policy with “Well, what else can we do?” There’s a lot we can do. To start, @RepJayapal has led on the Roadmap to Freedom, a framework for urgently needed changes to US immigration policy: https://t.co/6oxk2MARhF — PolitiTweet.org

It’s only 2 mos into this admin & our fraught, unjust immigration system will not transform in that time. That’s why bold reimagination is so impt. DHS shouldn’t exist, agencies should be reorganized, ICE gotta go, ban for-profit detention, create climate refugee status & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Our immigration system is built on a carceral framework. It’s no accident that challenging how we approach both these issues are considered “controversial” stances. They require reimagining our relationship to each other and challenging common assumptions we take for granted. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay - no matter the administration or party. — PolitiTweet.org

When members of Congress fight to set the minimum wage below a living wage, they are playing a role in creating and preserving poverty in the United States. The $15/hr proposal with multi-year phase in is already a deep compromise. $10 an hour is legislated poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

(For the record, I pay all my interns $15/hr & my lowest paid staff is in the mid-$50s, but that comes w/choosing to have a smaller team. Many will not/cannot make that choice given the demands, but the scarcity is unnecessary- Congress shld choose to expand the MRA & pay staff) — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

There are of course many other structural factors (including Congress itself), but low pay shuts the door for so many talented people right out of the gate that they can’t accept the opportunity. Some wages are so low they essentially require generational wealth to subsidize. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is because Congress doesn’t pay enough to retain working class talent. Conservatives use cutting Congress’ budget to score points, but this cuts staff wages so low that many can’t afford to work here or need a 2nd job. Policy improves & the nation benefits when we invest. — PolitiTweet.org
