ICE will launch raids across 10 major cities this SUNDAY. Check your neighbors & know your rights. Remember: no one can enter your home without a *judicial warrant.* Sometimes ICE will try to show other papers to get in your house. Judicial warrants are from a court. /1 — PolitiTweet.org

132 members - incl GOP & Independents - voted against creating the Dept of Homeland Security. Don’t let people rewrite history as if DHS/ICE always existed, or is a no-brainer. It’s a young agency, ill-conceived after 9/11 & sacrificed our civil liberties - like the Patriot Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It’s really not that radical. When DHS was 1st formed by Bush 17 years ago, many members of Congress were concerned - incl GOP - that we were setting up a ticking time bomb for civil liberties erosion & abuse of power. Discussing reorganization shouldn’t be out of the question. — PolitiTweet.org

“Ocasio-Cortez’s implication is that, by raising interest rates out of a fear of illusory inflation, the Fed may have needlessly hurt American workers. Powell’s concession on that point is significant.” https://t.co/yeyO2LPtHv — PolitiTweet.org

The War on Drugs has grown far beyond our criminal justice system - it’s also evolved into a poverty trap for impacted families. Today I’m proud to work w/ @SenKamalaHarris to undo “1-Strike” rules that take housing opportunities away from communities caught in the War on Drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

DHS & ICE are flagrantly violating Congressional orders, just as we said they would. Yet it was @IlhanMN, @AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib & I that were wrong to oppose throwing more money to abusive agencies, right? ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

.@KellyannePolls curious how you’re going to defend the child sexual assault that seems to be happening on your watch. Remind me again how sexual assault is a “funding” problem? Bc last I checked ending this is about holding abusers to account, something you can’t seem to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Trust me when I say you don’t want to get caught in @AyannaPressley’s righteous fire🔥 Kellyanne is way over her head defending caging children & families in conditions that have killed almost 30 people on her admin’s watch. She may play games with people’s lives, but we don’t. — PolitiTweet.org

“Catfight” is the sexist term Republicans use when two adult women happen to disagree with each other. The reason they find it so novel &exciting is bc the GOP haven’t elected enough women themselves to see that it can, in fact, be a normal occurrence in a functioning democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the most devastating aspects of throwing people in jail is that they can lose jobs, miss rent, & lose their home, triggering a cycle of poverty w/ generational consequences. Many don’t even learn about special jail exemptions until they’re given to the rich & connected ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Growing your own food is very satisfying. We like to pop outside, pluck some greens, &throw them on the pan after a rinse. It’s WAY better for the environment, too. Gardens can sequester more carbon than lawns. Plus: no mowing (&no gasoline)! Let’s bring back victory gardens🌱 — PolitiTweet.org
