Yikes. The CEO of a news media company is almost a *full year late* to one of the laziest takes of 2018. Begs the question: what else is he behind on and wrong about? — PolitiTweet.org

We now have *bipartisan support* for our amendment allowing expanded research into psychedelics. This is important, as several studies have shown promise in treatment-resistant PTSD, severe depression, & more. The War on Drugs has caused so much harm. It’s time to reverse it. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine having your home destroyed, or losing your child to a devastating flood, or having a whole crop wiped out &crippling your community’s future. Then someone comes up to you and says, “Well, it’s not the end of the world.” That’s what the GOP’s stance is on climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

I think a lot about the policies I support through the lens of family: - Ending the war on drugs helps keep families together - A living wage + strong worker protections frees parents to invest more time w/ their kids - Healthcare for all ensures parents + babies are healthier — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve worked w a LOT of kids in my past educational work. The ones who “act up” almost always have issues at home or otherwise. Esp when it comes to elementary students, suspension + detention can make things worse. What kids need is healing tools+policy that helps families ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

I have met w/ trans constituents who were put in Rikers. These women told me about being misgendered upon arrest (even post-surgery), &forced in cells w/ men, putting them in extreme risk. It’s hard to get treatments, too. Layleen’s family deserves to know what happened to her. — PolitiTweet.org

For folks who don’t get it: in NYC, Citibikes charge you per 15 mins undocked. This picture could look like someone undocked the bike + left for the workday. Flex is a term people use for subtly showing off something ($, a connect, etc). Ppl joke that AirPods are a flex 👩🏽‍🏫 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

By the end of the day, for the cost of this flex you could get close to some AirPods like everyone else — PolitiTweet.org

From the opioid crisis to psilocybin’s potential w/ PTSD, it’s well past time we take drug use out of criminal consideration + into medical consideration. That begins with research. I’m proud to introduce an amendment that helps scientists do their jobs. https://t.co/V1BziVeNtr — PolitiTweet.org

@JStein_WaPo I think the #1 source of misunderstanding in PR conversations is that it seems most people try (consciously or subconsciously) to impose a US “Dem vs. GOP” understanding on Puerto Rican politics. It complicates US coverage & politics as well. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

DC statehood & Puerto Rico statehood are NOT the same issue. PR was colonized by the US, & deserves a BINDING process of self-determination. Imposing one’s status opinion on PR, instead of committing to uphold the results of a plebiscite, perpetuates the legacy of colonization. — PolitiTweet.org
