5 years after Eric Garner’s death, the disciplinary trial regarding that day is coming to an end. Garner’s death should be treated with the gravity that human life deserves. His life was not disposable. #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/utG4XrZsIt — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Usury laws (aka interest rate caps) used to be quite popular in red states. Did you know Alabama used to have usury laws prohibiting interest higher than 8%? Wonder if there are any Republicans willing to revive that spirit and sign onto our #LoanSharkPreventionAct? 🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

55 signatories just came out in favor of @BernieSanders’ & my joint call to cap ALL interest at 15%. Supporters include the fmr Chief Economist of the World Bank, private equity CEOs, leading economists, fmr members of Congress, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This hearing was wild. First the FBI witness tried to say I was wrong. I tried to be generous + give benefit of doubt, but then we checked. I wasn’t. Violence by Muslims is routinely treated as “terrorism,” White Supremacist violence isn’t. Neo-Nazis are getting off the hook. — PolitiTweet.org

Sorry, but if people aren’t willing to apply principles evenly, no matter the person, then they aren’t fighting for criminal justice reform. People acting as though this is summer camp. It’s Rikers, widely known for abuse. #AbolishSolitary (& no, ofc he shouldn’t be pardoned) — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Yes - released from solitary. NYT used the term solitary confinement, & that’s what I am commenting on. “Protective custody” IS a separate practice, but does not necessarily exclude solitary. If he is in fact not being held in solitary, great. Release everyone else from it too. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Paul Manafort is being sent to solitary confinement in my district - Rikers Island. A prison sentence is not a license for gov torture and human rights violations. That‘s what solitary confinement is. Manafort should be released, along with all people being held in solitary. — PolitiTweet.org

People are like “HEY there is NOTHING wrong with dad jeans.” 😂 Exactly, Jim. Wear them with pride. I see you and affirm you. Take to the streets on this special day.👖🚩 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Will “Straight Pride” be a Freaky Friday type situation where all of our history books, movies, stories, media, news, etc feature mostly LGBTQ+ people & perspectives? Will people have to come out as straight? What would folks march in? Socks w/ sandals on? Dad jeans? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Rep. @JoeNeguse is incredible. If you live in Colorado and have him as your rep, you are in one of the luckiest constituencies in the country! For real. He’s great, daring, smart, and kind. Just watch him here. (Plus he laughs at my bad jokes, which means he is generous too!) — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Today, after YEARS of GOP refusal, the House finally voted on the DREAM Act under a Dem majority. The moment when it passed was like a rock concert 🎸 The people’s cheers brought many, many members to tears. What a moment. This is why we fight. https://t.co/b04OBCaVDz — PolitiTweet.org

Company money is a tactic powerful corporations use to take over towns & control local workers by paying them in fake “currency.” It’s happened all over, from West Virginia coal mines to Puerto Rican sugar plantations. So what about when people get paid in... Amazon gift cards? — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This gymnastics stunt of a take makes sense, considering he doesn’t want to be President - he wants to be King. And our refusal to impeach is making his dream come true. https://t.co/Z9w3AyfNek — PolitiTweet.org

As a result this hearing (chaired by @RoKhanna!), we were able to secure $16 million in refunds from TransDigm for egregious price gouging in military contracts. For all their talk of “free markets,” CEOs actually work *against* them. They want CAPTIVE markets + monopoly power. — PolitiTweet.org
