A year ago, after CBP & ICE violently kidnapped children from families & traumatized thousands, a small # of us insisted that Congress giving them billions more money w/ 0 accountability was dangerous & would have destabilizing effects. We were belittled & ignored. Now this ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

We followed up in hearings. Repeatedly I was told this was a line that cannot be crossed despite clear, targeted violence that white supremacists are engaged in - bc the risks to civil liberties were too great. The double standard is staring right at us. https://t.co/DKjosMdjpt — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I have questioned the @FBI in Congress as to why they don’t use domestic terror labels for white supremacist groups. They testified that the law prevents labeling US groups as terrorists, w/ severe civil liberties concerns. Where is that concern today? https://t.co/OHhkPrOKQu — PolitiTweet.org

Running SUVs in crowds of people should never, ever be normalized. No matter who does it, no matter why. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@NYCMayor your comments tonight were unacceptable. As mayor, this police department is under your leadership. This moment demands leadership & accountability from each of us. Defending and making excuses for NYPD running SUVs into crowds was wrong. Make it right. De-escalate. — PolitiTweet.org

@BernardKerik With more respect than you offer me fmr commissioner, there was a full demonstration in my district w/ 100s of people that was entirely peaceful & did not require any de-escalation.

NYPD officers just drove an SUV into a crowd of human beings. They could‘ve killed them, &we don’t know how many they injured. NO ONE gets to slam an SUV through a crowd of human beings. @NYCMayor these officers need to be brought to justice, not dismissed w/“internal reviews.” — PolitiTweet.org

Congress often shies away from directly addressing police brutality. But the 1st step to solving a problem is to name it. We cannot have a Congress too afraid to condemn brutality. Call your member to cosponsor @AyannaPressley’s resolution. Demand a floor vote. Yes, call Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

3. What does mental healthcare look like in your city? Too often our prisons are used to discard ppl struggling w mental health, housing. Invest in the latter. 4. Healthcare, living wage, housing & education guarantees. Without them we feed the cycle. What are your ideas? ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

A lot of ppl are asking abt policy solutions. Here are a few: 1. Ask your mayor & city council for strong Citizen Review Boards 2. Budgets. They’re powerful. Find your city’s police budget. Compare that to the school & housing budget. More $ in fmr ➡️ school-to-prison pipeline — PolitiTweet.org
