@KatieHerringt13 Try starting with “Why We Can’t Wait” - it is short, but very powerful. Fits in a small purse or big pocket :) Letter from a Birmingham Jail is one of the excerpts from Why We Can’t Wait (I find that the letter is more impactful as written within the context of the book). — PolitiTweet.org

Just a penguin dance throwback from the before times 🐧🐥 Today in the NYT there’s a story about how imagining activities & scenes to look forward to can help us with difficult times during the pandemic. I’m looking forward to big dinners w/ friends & live shows. How about you? — PolitiTweet.org

@mic_mic_bungeez Yes! @OpenSecretsDC is a good one. Here’s my page, but you can look up anyone’s. Look at the “PAC” section under “business.” That’s where corporate PAC money can be found. Note: the “top contributors” section is NOT it,those are often employee donations https://t.co/gLb96YJaPx — PolitiTweet.org

Any members who voted to overturn the election* but also some have indicated they may suspend political donations in general, at least for the time being — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The way you can tell if a company actually means it is if they say they aren’t giving to any members PERIOD or at bare minimum this *cycle.* Reminder you can also elect members who don’t take corporate money at all, & are funded by small dollar donations from everyday people 😉 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The issue w this is that donations are not done by months, they’re measured by election cycles. It’s pretty normal for a member to not get a max-out check in the first 6 mos. This announcement doesn’t mean much bc they can still max out to ppl who undermined the election in July — PolitiTweet.org
