Predatory lending for taxi medallions have decimated the lives of NYC drivers & their families. 🚕 I’m tired of a vicious cycle where predatory lenders get bailouts, but the people whose lives they ruin are left behind. It’s time to do something about it. ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

To the folks outraged at the academics + experts naming our concentration camp system what it is, what else do you call camps where parents die as their children watch? Discomfort at the truth should spur us to change it. Denial prioritizes our comfort over people’s lives ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

This is what sea level rise looks like. Those who argue that a #GreenNewDeal is too ambitious don’t see that glacial melt isn’t waiting - in fact, it’s happening at a much faster rate than predicted. We don’t have time to argue. We need to act - on a massive scale. 🌎 — PolitiTweet.org

@andykopsa @AHRCNYC He showed me some! I’m holding them in these photos. The finished paintings he showed were of beaches in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 In the 2nd photo, I’m holding one of his current projects. It’s a landscape based on a photo he took, which you can see on his screen in the foreground. 🎨 https://t.co/8Zxmo9KKDa — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I visited the garden & art center at @AHRCNYC. I was blown away by how advanced this space is: from gardening to virtual reality, the doors to self-expression are opening in new ways for our neighbors with disabilities. Luis told me about why that’s important. ⬇️ https://t.co/ZUh9TxYlKh — PolitiTweet.org

Organizing isn’t just for elections, it’s part of community life. That’s why I strapped on my chanclas & hit the subways this week for Census 2020 - to educate early & push locally. The Census is hiring now. Bronx & Queens residents should apply! https://t.co/qo3BnzJa8y — PolitiTweet.org

These past few months I’ve discovered the joy of gardening. It’s therapeutic way to connect to the Earth & our food 🌎 I wanted to learn about community garden opportunities in the Bronx - so we joined @NYRP & some little ones to plant some corn in our Castle Hill garden! 🌽 https://t.co/326H4LeXyH — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuel companies also ship coal ash built up in PR to often poor communities in the continental US. In PR, renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels. There is no reason we shouldn’t be pursuing a just transition there outside of corrupt lobbying. ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/UPD23tjbbp — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is huge problem for many communities, from PR to WV. “Coal waste” is a nice word for ash. It piles up in mountainlike heaps + poisons water. Some candidates last night said addressing climate injustice is a “distraction.” But why should clean water be only for the rich?💧 — PolitiTweet.org

Remember when GOP got all outraged & fanned controversy when I pointed out how Reagan used racism as a political tool to keep white people poor & people of color poor too? Well, here we have it.

“True peace is not the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” Thankful for the wide, intergenerational coalition of communities coming together - Israeli & Palestinian, Jewish & Muslim, American & around the world - seeking to advance that peace and justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The Dem House is a different approach. I’d say the House is arguably & currently structured to be the most conservative of the 3 due to GOP gerrymandering. Being inspirational & ambitious is good strategy! Being visionary is a strength, not a liability, for statewide turnout. — PolitiTweet.org

The point is to stem runaway income inequality, where wealth begins to automatically compound at obscene rates for the extremely rich w/o lifting a finger - often at the cost of low wages. This is a huge driving factor in income & wealth inequality & few want to talk about it. — PolitiTweet.org
