As we hammer away at climate deniers, the fossil fuel industry is pivoting to promote bogus climate policies. You better believe they’ll be dumping cash to lobby ALL members of Congress - not just their bread & butter Republicans. Learn about how they’re working it here ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP is continuing their crusade against democracy. They’re so scared that Trump will lose that they’re moving to cancel their own primaries. While the GOP screams that we’re “elitists” for wanting healthcare, they’re handing over party control to lobbyists + rich families. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Conversion “therapy” isn’t therapy at all. It’s a homophobic + dangerous practice that hurts LGBTQ+ people and families. CT is banned in 18 states. We should ban it nationwide. (PS: that one of its founders was gay is a glimpse into how homophobia and toxic masculinity works) — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is taking away middle schools from military families, robbing disaster relief from hardest-hit communities,& chopping up people’s property via eminent domain for his little wall. This is a project driven by ego - not a desire to serve and improve the lives of human beings. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m really proud of this interview! Growing up, Spanish was my first language - but like many 1st generation Latinx Americans, I have to continuously work at it & improve. It’s not perfect, but the only way we improve our language skills is through public practice. #Palante — PolitiTweet.org

We are part of a global community. To combat the climate crisis, we must come together as a nation AND a planet. The good news: We don’t have to wait. We can start now, from the bottom up. Cities are creating jobs& advancing justice w/ a #GreenNewDeal, as global mvmts mobilize. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

There is no reason any person in America should pay more than 15% interest. A 15% rate is already very high. We used to ban 8+%. Usury is a shakedown of working people that should be illegal. If you agree,contact your member& ask them to sign onto the Loan Shark Prevention Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

She’s right. We all want to, & can, do our part w climate change & environmental justice. But know that just 3 industries are responsible for 71% of carbon emissions. & if you’re concerned abt money in politics, the fossil fuel industry is a key source of political corruption. — PolitiTweet.org

There is a genre of videos where GOP House members - who clearly didn’t read sworn testimony that detention sinks were broken- filming themselves drinking out of toilet sinks. They’re so anti-immigrant they risk pink eye to show off that they didn’t do the reading #CloseTheCamps — PolitiTweet.org

We need to organize around the Census, and we need to start now. This morning we were out bright and early catching AM commuters in Corona and share info on #Census2020 🌞 Census is hiring now - and we need NYC organizers! Check it out: https://t.co/c5yXKOZdi0 — PolitiTweet.org

Domestic abusers can be master manipulators. Plus, domestic abuse is a HUGE indicator for gun violence. That’s why “vouching for friend” isn’t a substitute for a background check. You wouldn’t lend a car to someone w/o a license.Why lend a gun to someone w/o a background check? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Rapists can have Ivy League degrees. Abusers can look like “good dads” or have high incomes or “great jobs.” Good appearances are often a cover for abusers. In fact, many abusers RELY on their public reputation to intimidate partners from leaving (ex: “no one will believe you.”) — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This idea of “I know the guy, there’s no way he beats his wife” as the way we keep guns out of the hands of abusers is ridiculous. Any person who has been abused, assaulted, etc knows that abusers often present as “upstanding.” There’s no way you’d know. That’s why it’s common. — PolitiTweet.org

Herein lies an important point abt domestic abuse: most of it is hidden. You could know an abuser & have no clue. I’ve had friends come out to me as victims. It’s not obvious. Unsafe relationships are COMMON. That’s why House Dems passed closing the boyfriend loophole in VAWA. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

You said w/ universal background checks, you wouldn’t be able to “lend” guns to friends. If a background check would be a problem, then you shouldn’t “lend” a gun. And btw, NY is one of the safest states in the country when it comes to guns, incl rural areas. Try to keep up. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

You are a member of Congress. Why are you “lending” guns to people unsupervised who can’t pass a basic background check? The people you’re giving a gun to have likely abused their spouse or have a violent criminal record, & you may not know it. Why on earth would you do that? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is what climate change looks like: it hits vulnerable communities first. I can already hear climate deniers screeching: “It’s always been like this! You’re dim,” etc. No. This is about science & leadership. We either decarbonize&cut emissions, or we don’t & let people die. — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond the moral wrong, racism is a powerful political tool used to dismantle public goods & civil rights. So long as bigoted sympathies exist (subtly or loud), they will be used. That’s why convincing people racism is a sidenote,&not broad or institutional, is a strategic move. — PolitiTweet.org
