And if you are a lawmaker who, in the time between the leak & ruling, spent more manpower on a fundraising plan than a policy response, then I highly recommend rethinking your priorities. Our job right now is to protect people. Doing so will drive the vote more than browbeating. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We have been sounding the alarm about this for a long time. Some may want to go after the messenger, but we simply cannot make promises, hector people to vote, and then refuse to use our full power when they do. We still have time to fix this and act. But we need to be brave. — PolitiTweet.org

Just a few months ago I literally had to explain to Republican members of Congress how periods work. Their complete and utter incompetence is now killing women and pregnant people across the US. There remains no legitimate grounding or basis to force birth in the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

When you encounter someone with a misperception, share your story. Your personal experiences and facts can powerfully dismantle common misperceptions and propaganda in the people around you. It’s one of the most powerful tools we have - far more powerful than any TV pundit. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Let’s be real: there’s a WHOLE lot of men whose lives, careers, and families have benefited from an abortion (including several “pro-life” GOP Congressmen). Men, we need you right now. You can get through in rooms others can’t. Your power matters. Speak up. This is about us all. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@adamcbest 100%. Dem leaders have protected anti-choice Dems. They need to be honest and stop implying all Dems are pro-choice so we know the true numbers. Also impt to acknowledge Biden is historically weak on this issue (supported Hyde until ‘19), but now is his chance to step up & grow — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

So let’s wake up everybody! What’s good Democrats! If you don’t like what I’ve laid out here, then please present YOUR plan instead of little “why we can’t” lists!! Let’s cut the handwringing and get moving! Chop chop! No more showtunes till November unless it’s for GOTV!! — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Dem leaders must tell voters the plan: What’s the *actual* need? Which specific seats are we focused on? WHAT votes do we need & WHERE (what states + races?) And, what’s the return? What is Biden/Congress ACTUALLY willing+able to do at 52/60 seats? Be honest. Details motivate — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

For the moments when we DO insist on elections, we must be PRECISE with what we need and we will do with that power: How many seats does the party need to Codify Roe? Dems must SAY THAT. Not just “go vote” or “give us $6 to win.” That is demoralizing, losing, unfocused nonsense — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The President & Dem leaders can no longer get away with familiar tactics of “committees” and “studies” to avoid tackling our crises head-on anymore: - Restrain judicial review - Open clinics on federal lands - Court expansion - Expand Fed access/awareness of pill abortions - etc — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

to confront the Court’s structure (and core gerontocracy problem of lifetime appointments) via public appeal. While he did not succeed, that check came from the ppl & Congress, NOT scotus. The ruling is Roe, but the crisis is democracy. Leaders must share specific plans for both — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Past Presidents, from Lincoln to FDR, understood the dangerous stakes of allowing an unchecked Court overreach its authority and threaten our democracy. Lincoln ignored the court to issue the emancipation proclamation. FDR, in the plunges of the Great Depression, also sought… — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

In a legitimacy crisis, the solution Biden + Dem leaders must offer can’t just be one of voting, but of statute & authority. Compared to Exec + Leg branch, checks on Court overreach and misconduct are little to none. Leaders must share their plans for Roe AND a rogue court. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

- 2 justices stand very credibly accused of sexual assault And that’s the tip of the iceberg. Election or not, the Supreme Court has a legitimacy crisis and the public reaffirms it: 75% of the US public reports lacking confidence in SCOTUS, & those numbers were *pre-Roe ruling* — PolitiTweet.org
