When our legislative bodies aren’t sufficiently responsive to tech, then that means we don’t have the tools required to protect people. This is partially why companies know way more about you than you may even be aware of - bc it’s legal, and Congress is struggling to keep up. — PolitiTweet.org

Some context for a few folks getting upset at this: Congress is voting on legislation regarding Twitch today. It’s totally fine if you don’t know what Twitch is. But tech literacy is becoming an growing need in Congress so we can legislate to protect people’s privacy, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine trying to explain to your colleagues who are members of Congress what Twitch is 😭 — PolitiTweet.org

This is awesome. So often young people are told to contact their legislator, but it’s hard to know if a call or tweet made a difference. Thank you @RepTedDeutch for not only supporting this amendment, but showing how direct outreach can impact legislative outcomes! 🤳🏼 — PolitiTweet.org

- War is not a game - Twitch is a popular platform for children FAR under the age of military recruitment rules - We should not conflate military service with “shoot-em-up” style games and contests The Marines pulled out of Twitch for a reason. It’s time to follow their lead. — PolitiTweet.org

The root of the problem is not necessarily format. It’s that there‘s so much pressure on members of both parties to spend time fundraising that it takes time away from deeply studying and preparing for hearings. If you want hearings to be better, get money out of politics. — PolitiTweet.org

The main reason unemployment benefits are poised to expire on Friday is bc Trump’s White House & the GOP are refusing to extend them. They seem to think people can be starved into taking 30 million jobs that don’t exist. This callous game playing w people’s lives is horrifying. — PolitiTweet.org

@Chinchillazllla It’s not a conspiracy, I tweeted it too early. This bill is part of a suite of leg that *includes* rent cancellation, it’s not a replacement/sub for it. We should do all of it, and any lawyers should be publicly funded too. The initial tweet implies a wrong context. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Our civil liberties are on brink. This is not a drill. There is no excuse for snatching women off the street and throwing them into unmarked vans. To not protect our rights is to give them away. It is our responsibility to resist authoritarianism. — PolitiTweet.org

Up to 40 million people could be evicted if the federal gov doesn’t act boldly enough. Right now, the risks of doing too little for COVID relief far outweigh the risk of doing “too much” for families. People need rent + mortgage relief, 2nd stimulus check, & extended PUA *now.* — PolitiTweet.org
