Usury - aka high interest - happens to be explicitly denounced in the Bible (& in many other religions). Looking forward to having the religious right uphold their principles + sign onto my bill. 😇 Unless of course they’re only invoking religion to punish women + queer people. — PolitiTweet.org

.@KatieHill4CA went IN on Big Pharma payouts + bonuses today 🔥 Usually CSPAN zooms in pretty tight on members - I didn’t realize my reactions cheering her on were on camera until she showed it to me 🤣 — PolitiTweet.org

If male politicians could get pregnant, there would be as many Planned Parenthood clinics as there are Post Offices. 💌📬 — PolitiTweet.org

We all have our hard days, but turning it around is all about perspective. People often ask me how I deal w/ negativity. In person, the ➕ far outweighs the ➖. These notes sometimes get taken down, only for new ones to pop up the next day. Thank you everyone for the support 💕 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Ultimately, this is about women’s power. When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy. It’s a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the 1 essential thing a person should command: their own body. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Abortion bans aren’t just about controlling women’s bodies. They’re about controlling women’s sexuality. Owning women. From limiting birth control to banning comprehensive sex ed, US religious fundamentalists are working hard to outlaw sex that falls outside their theology. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks for your advocacy! It‘s wrong that many children eligible for adoption go without adoptive families due to discrimination against the LGBT+🏳️‍🌈 community. A loving family is a core element of wellbeing + happiness. That chance shouldn’t be taken from any child or parent. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Today’s hearing on White Supremacy was powerful. Heather Heyer’s mother, @SusanBro7, offered testimony on how ‘being non-racist isn’t good enough; we must be anti-racist.’ We also learned how white supremacist mass shootings escape FBI “domestic terror“ classification & more. — PolitiTweet.org

1st Q today: to military contractor TransDigm, w/ a history of price gouging the public. Their 3in clutch disc costs $32 to make. They charged DoD $1,443 149x. How many kids could we have sent to college tuition-free at the cost of their unfair gouging? https://t.co/gF2BpBUnc4 — PolitiTweet.org

@Liz_Wheeler @GovernorKayIvey Actually it *would* be a felony for women - if those women are medical providers. See? According to your own semantic standard, you “lied.” We can fact-check obvious semantics all day and make absurd bad faith claims if that’s how you want be. But I have better uses for my time. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@Liz_Wheeler @GovernorKayIvey It’s a felony punishable by jail, incl cases of women pregnant by rape or incest. Twitter is 280 chars - read the context clues in grammar of the tweet. But good to know you’re here to promote criminalizing medical providers aiding victims of rape and incest! 👍🏽 good job — PolitiTweet.org
