The GOP wants to send us back: Back towards injustice, Back to the denial of science, Back to the times when women needed permission slips from men, Back to racism - But we won’t go back. We will move forward. Forward to the dignity of all people & protection of our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Due to decades of inaction, insufficient action,& outright denial, we are long overdue to act boldly on the climate crisis. We must pass a #GreenNewDeal: a comprehensive plan to transition out of fossil fuels & create tons of good jobs. We’re the generation to do it. We must.⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Dow, a chemical company, gave $1 million to Trump‘s inauguration. Now one of their chemicals, which is known to cause brain damage in children, conveniently won’t be banned by Trump’s EPA. @MikeLevinCA has the story linked ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

At its core, abuses at the border are not about whether some CBP officers are good or bad people. It’s about how our border policies are gravely dehumanizing, & strip all involved of human decency. Once you order people to violate others’ rights, a culture can quickly devolve. — PolitiTweet.org

Bronx + Queens (& all NYCers!): This serious heat wave is expected to sustain through the weekend, with heat indices getting as high as 110 degrees. Please get rest, hydrate, check in on your neighbors and know where your nearest cooling center is: https://t.co/mvUXtVYaJx — PolitiTweet.org

Having a seat in Congress is not about individual glory - it never has been, and never will be. It’s about serving the millions of children and people in our communities and across the country. Everyone deserves the dignity of representation. America belongs to us all. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/JcwDT2W5Yb — PolitiTweet.org

Back to business. Today I questioned Acting DHS Sec McAleenan on reports that Trump offered him a pardon if he violated US law to block asylum seekers, & whether those in the CBP group who threatened Members of Congress & shared rape images are still in charge of women+children. — PolitiTweet.org

In all the darkness, find the helpers. This week, *~100,000* Puerto Ricans took to unprecedented demonstrations to hold their gov accountable. They’re doing it in Hawaii, too. And in NYC, for Eric Garner. It’s not about admins - it’s about people rediscovering their power: — PolitiTweet.org

To all those scared for our future: we can get through this better than we started. We have the power to triumph over hatred, division, and bigotry. But decency cannot be taken for granted. It is something we must create, advance, and actively work to build each and every day. — PolitiTweet.org

America has always embodied the story of those who seek to advance freedoms for all people, and those who try to conserve them as privileges for a select few. Each of us must decide who we will be in America’s story. We’ve chosen the side of the people. https://t.co/4lJ6P7AXrq — PolitiTweet.org

Calling people who believe in democracy, civil + economic rights, and racial justice “communist” has a long + rich history w/ white supremacy in the US.

The GOP Senate needs to stop playing games and pass the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund. I spoke with officers, first responders & victims last week - some on oxygen, others brought scans of their tumors - and they told me the GOP gave them their word. We can’t afford to wait. — PolitiTweet.org

Scrip was used by Appalachian coal corporations to control workers by controlling their money - it was called “coal cash.” It was used by sugar plantation bosses in PR, too. Facebook establishing its own currency & teaming up with EBay, Uber & co to do so has alarming precedent. — PolitiTweet.org
