.@aidachavez was one of a few journalists that picked up our race before the primary. Establishment power can also include power to silence - we learned afterwards how much active pressure there was (angry calls, etc) to *not* cover my candidacy. She was one of the few who did. — PolitiTweet.org

One year ago today, I was a long-shot candidate for Congress that debuted this video. We had no news coverage, virtually no elected officials had endorsed us, and by Election Day we were outspent 10-1. But what we did have was the power of the people ⬇️ https://t.co/aqKMjovEjZ — PolitiTweet.org

What, are you sad I don’t speak as our President does, w top hits like “Just grab ‘em by the p—?” Or going on abt turbines & wind cancer?🙄 I could win a Nobel Prize in Physics & they’d still call me dumb. That’s why I don’t give a damn about misogynist takes on my intelligence. — PolitiTweet.org

@lukeoneil47 A Garibaldi/Garibaldi spritz is an underrated brunch cocktail. (For those reading: it’s a Campari&OJ. Pull back on the Campari so it’s not too “woof.” For the spritz, add prosecco or sparkling water, depending on how forward you want it. Mocktail: replace Campari w/ pom juice!) — PolitiTweet.org

All of this is to say that words matter, and can have consequences for safety. For those who believe in “free speech”: whose free speech do you believe in? Bc some folks using free speech to defend racism are also supporting folks passing laws to allow running over protesters. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t even get to see all of them. Just the ones that have been flagged as particularly troubling. It happens whenever Fox gets particularly aggressive + hateful, too. Young interns have to constantly hear hateful messages (far beyond disagreement) from ppl we don’t even rep. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

What people don’t (maybe do) realize is when orgs air these hateful messages, my life changes bc of the flood of death threats they inspire. I‘ve had mornings where I wake up & the 1st thing I do w/ my coffee is review photos of the men (it’s always men) who want to kill me. — PolitiTweet.org

The reason women are critiqued for being too loud or too meek, too big or too small, too smart to be attractive or too attractive to be smart, is to belittle women out of standing up publicly. The goal is to ‘critique’ into submission. & That applies to anyone challenging power. — PolitiTweet.org
