Please put some respect on @RashidaTlaib’s victory last night. She didn’t “survive” - she *overwhelmed* at the polls. Throughout our first term, we‘ve been told our advocacy is “too much” to be re-elected. Instead, voters supported her in huge margins. https://t.co/ckF1I9zSBr — PolitiTweet.org

Absolutely incredible. Congratulations, @CoriBush - YOU accomplished this w/ the people of Ferguson & #MO1. You‘ve shown that the power of grassroots, mass-movement politics is stronger than gatekeepers & big money - it’s about advancing the tide of justice whose time has come. — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty nauseating how easily Congress rubber stamped a $4 trillion dark slush fund for Wall St as “COVID relief,” yet somehow $600 for workers in pandemic is controversial. Up close it’s staggering how much resistance there is in Washington to actually helping people directly. — PolitiTweet.org

.@NationalNurses in my community CONSTANTLY communicate how housing is a major determinant of health. A wave of evictions + housing instability means yet another crush on our healthcare system. We must do whatever we can to guarantee housing during this pandemic (& overall!) — PolitiTweet.org

@padrealberto @YourFavXtian Greetings - I have in fact made several statements about this clip being intentionally manipulated out of context, & those who misled abt what I said. My statements can be easily found on my Twitter feed or in reports on the matter. Hope you all are doing well and staying safe! — PolitiTweet.org

It is ironic that many claiming to “defend” a saint no one attacked approached this matter w/ such lack of grace or generosity. Instead of examining for truth, many jumped to irrational conclusions & sprung to cast judgement & condescension w/o engaging the actual idea presented — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We have 100+ statues and portraits in the Capitol. Almost all of them are of white men. Every single statue there could be of a canonized saint and that *still* doesn’t change the fact that the erasure of women & BIPOC from American history is a feature of white supremacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Yep. At no point did I say Fr. Damien was a bad figure - in fact, I explicitly stated that my observations weren’t about litigating his or any individual statue. It’s about the fact that a huge supermajority of statues in the Capitol are white men. Barely any women or BIPOC. — PolitiTweet.org

Military recruitment forms are being sent out to children on gaming platforms. The forms can be filled out by kids as young as 12 years old, and include consent to be contacted by a recruiter. Although my amendment to end this practice failed, have a conversation w/ your kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@johnrobertgage Frankly this isn’t even a hard point to understand, especially for a journalist. It’s also clear you understood this point well enough to identify the relevant context in the video and deliberately erase it in an effort to stir up controversy. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@johnrobertgage 1. Unsure why you cut the context of the video. Here’s moments prior 2. Read the text of the video you posted: it’s not about litigating an indiv person or statue, but examining that the TOTALITY of all 100+ statues are almost all white & male,incl to rep largely nonwhite places https://t.co/624zJ11jU1 — PolitiTweet.org

The good news: a majority of the Dem party supported this amendment. That’s a really solid start for this being the first time this issue has been brought before Congress. We’ve made great strides since *that* Senate FB hearing, but we’ve got a lot of room to still improve! — PolitiTweet.org
