This law would force children - 12 year olds - to carry a pregnancy by their rapist. This law would force people w/ mental disabilities to carry pregnancy by rape to term. This law forces people to be pregnant against their own consent. It’s horrifying. — PolitiTweet.org

Alabama lawmakers are making all abortions a felony punishable w jailtime,incl women victimized by rape+incest. Of course, no added punishments for rapists. It’s going to @GovernorKayIvey‘s desk. She will decide the future of women’s rights in Alabama. https://t.co/IRR0EtsxHp — PolitiTweet.org

😊 Oh, what’s that? All these spooky “socialist” proposals are winning over vast majorities of GOP voters because they are common-sense, humane policies? Ya don’t say. — PolitiTweet.org

Until very recently, there were few mothers of young children in Congress. Today is quite different. We could still use a lot more, but watching moms like @katieporteroc, @RepGraceMeng, @RashidaTlaib & others navigate motherhood in office is so inspiring to me. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate Intel Committee (which is GOP-controlled!) issued a legally binding subpoena, & Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC advised that individual to ignore it. If Lindsey Graham wants to work for Trump so badly, he can resign his seat and move his office down a few blocks to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

So much of our healthcare is needlessly expensive. When people vote for another military budget increase & then ask, “How are you going to pay for Medicare for All?” What they actually mean is, “How are you going to keep Big Pharma profits high if we can’t price gouge anymore?” — PolitiTweet.org

@AndrewFeinberg But also if you’re a staffer getting invited to a spa weekend funded by lobbyists, maybe ask yourself why you’re saying yes to that. It’s like those timeshare co’s who offer free vacations to people. You THINK you’re gonna say no, but they do it for a reason. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@AndrewFeinberg So sometimes you think you’re getting some straightforward info by some professor here or there, as if it’s a CRS report or something. But instead they just saying “objectively” that social security isn’t worth saving, etc. Without other viewpoints. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@AndrewFeinberg It’s not that simple. Oftentimes you have no idea you’re listening to a lobbyist bc they incorporate 3rd party groups with confusing names. I saw this 1st hand at the Harvard “Orientation” hosted by AEI. It was marketed at “objective” (lobbyists always say they’re objective). — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It’s that bundle 💰 for elections, so you pick up their call,accept invites, become friends. In practice it’s not transactional, it’s social. So while ppl don’t see how lobbying influences votes, their whole enviro + staff has been exposed to mainly 1 point of view: lobbyists’. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

When I was looking at lobbying from the outside, just as a normal voting citizen, it appeared to me as more transactional in nature than it actually is. It’s not necessarily that a lobbyist calls you and says “vote/don’t vote for this bill or we won’t donate to you again...” /2 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is how corporate lobbying works: Lobbyists ID bills they need to kill to keep profits high (no matter the human cost), come up w/ “sensible” talking points to mask intent + say policy is “misguided,” then schmooze policymakers in secret into accepting said talking points. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It’s true. The #GreenNewDeal, as much as GOP hiss, scream, storytell & cry about it, has forced even the most entrenched Tea Partiers into publicly abandoning their climate denial stance. The reason they’re so focused on discrediting the GND is because it’s a winning policy. ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is why a “middle ground” approach to our climate crisis is unacceptable. This isn’t like other issues where you can pretend you’re a sober adult by cutting the difference between left and right. You’re either fighting for our future or you’re not. https://t.co/YLOVzNe2Z9 — PolitiTweet.org

If you think your ‘celibacy’ is due to “female empowerment,” maybe it’s because far too many people relied on the disempowerment + silence of women to not be ‘celibate’ in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org
