It’s important to note that the President’s words yday, telling four American Congresswomen of color “go back to your own country,” is hallmark language of white supremacists. Trump feels comfortable leading the GOP into outright racism, and that should concern all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

You know what we’re going to do tomorrow? Same thing we do every week. Fight for: ✅ Living wages & unions ✅ A humane border ✅ Healthcare + edu as rights ✅ Loosening the grip of corp lobbyists on our democracy They can stay busy defending racism. We’ve got things to do. — PolitiTweet.org

As the President showed off his white nationalism for the world to see, #TeamOcasio dispatched Know Your Rights teams to show our neighbors how to protect their civil liberties w/ ICE & others. Local businesses asked for stacks of flyers, too. Thank you to all who came out 💜🇺🇸 https://t.co/38RFzUwM4b — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

But you know what’s the rub of it all, Mr. President? On top of not accepting an America that elected us, you cannot accept that we don’t fear you,either. You can’t accept that we will call your bluff & offer a positive vision for this country. And that’s what makes you seethe. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

You are angry because you can’t conceive of an America that includes us. You rely on a frightened America for your plunder. You won’t accept a nation that sees healthcare as a right or education as a #1 priority, especially where we’re the ones fighting for it. Yet here we are. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

You are angry because you don’t believe in an America where I represent New York 14, where the good people of Minnesota elected @IlhanMN, where @RashidaTlaib fights for Michigan families, where @AyannaPressley champions little girls in Boston. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President, the country I “come from,” & the country we all swear to, is the United States. But given how you’ve destroyed our border with inhumane camps, all at a benefit to you & the corps who profit off them, you are absolutely right about the corruption laid at your feet. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Kids are taken from their families under an American flag. They are left to cough in cages, spread lice, & smell of mucus w bald eagle emblems emblazoned around them. A few years from now, these 1000s of children will grow to tell their story. We owe it to them to change. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the big reasons I don’t believe we should make decisions based on “what GOP will say” is bc they are going to say it anyway. This is a perfect example. So let’s get on w an unapologetic agenda that fights as hard for working people as possible. They can catch up later. — PolitiTweet.org

@JungleGoldScott (Also, I hope people lay off trolling you - I’m asking honestly. For a diverse community like mine, it’s hard for my constituents to understand why advocating for them & issues that impact their lives is considered “divisive” or “baiting” to some people. Trying to understand.) — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@JungleGoldScott Honest question - The expert witness here testified to how facial recognition encodes racial bias, which has real consequences for making many Americans more susceptible to targeting. I think it’s relevant & adds an important layer. Why do you think we shouldn’t discuss that? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Here’s one clip from a recent hearing on how facia recognition can make racial injustices worse (this tech does not work well on people of color, and confuses innocent people with those who have criminal records): https://t.co/mVAfA1NUEM — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We have started to sound the alarm on the way facial recognition technology is expanding in concerning says. From the FBI to ICE to Amazon, the bar for consent and civil liberties protection is repeatedly violated, and on top of it all has a disproportionate racial impact, too. — PolitiTweet.org
