“The new documentary is worth a watch, no matter your political persuasion.” I’m so glad #KnockDownTheHouse is inspiring people across the political spectrum. At early screenings, even Trump supporters left the film in tears - because it’s about the power of everyday people. — PolitiTweet.org

You: Why is my balance so low? Economists: Bc working Americans haven’t gotten a raise in 30 years despite unprecedented growth; & living costs have exploded. Chase: Maybe if you skipped that Dunkin on April 22nd you‘d be able to afford your RX meds. That’s how that works right https://t.co/i8bGowwomU — PolitiTweet.org

The inhumane living conditions in NYCHA are a disgraceful result of Congress’ refusal to fund routine public housing investment for almost 20 YEARS. That $32 billion in neglect means kids are now testing w/ lead in their blood, breathing in mold, & more. And it was preventable. — PolitiTweet.org

My community garden plot is doing well! I was nervous checking up on it today, because Congress has been out of session for 2 weeks for district work. I left it with a bunch of watering stakes/bottles and hoped for the best. They blew up! Peep the collard greens! 🥬👀 https://t.co/QvBEX85eAd — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

You are using this as an excuse to stoke suspicion around my Christianity + faith life, @KellyannePolls. The Sri Lanka massacre was horrifying. No one should be targeted for their religion. If you’re so moved, let’s do more to welcome immigrants fleeing religious persecution. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The terrorist attack in Sri Lanka was horrifying. Saying ‘Easter worshippers’ matters bc Easter is the holiest day of the year for Christians, & to be targeted on Easter highlights how heinous the attack was - just as saying yesterday’s #SanDiego shooting was on Passover. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

“Corrupt” is a good one, too. I’m curious, how do you spin ignoring and neglecting the largest mass death of people on American soil in decades, @KellyannePolls? After all, the official count of 3,075 people is much bigger than the 64 number your admin clung to for so long. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I chose to use the word ‘incompetent’ when it comes to Trump’s response to Hurricane María & the 3,000 Americans who died on his watch, but that’s only because I had 280 characters. There are plenty of other words too: - Negligent - Inept - Inhumane - Predatory Take your pick. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Hello Ms. Conway, On Easter I was away from tech visiting my grandmother in Puerto Rico, which continues to suffer from the White House’s incompetent disaster response. Are you trying to imply that I am less Christian? What was the point of you bringing this up on national TV? — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbroken to hear of the San Diego synagogue shooting, particularly so on this final day of Passover. We have a responsibility to love + protect our neighbors. The longer the Senate delays holding a vote on #HR8, the more we put Americans at risk. https://t.co/ef9FURMFQ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Civics lesson for the NRA: As much as they may not like it, the Bronx and Queens are part of “the real America,” too. Wild that the NRA is suggesting the voters of NY-14 aren’t “real Americans” bc they don’t think assault weapons in school classrooms is a good idea. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

GOP already bad-faith attacking “nonviolent offenses.” Clearly if you are looking at CONTEXT CLUES in my thread & limits of 280 chars you know I’m referring to nonviolent drug offenses. Swear it’s like we’re back to encouraging 1st grade readers when it comes to some “pundits.” — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

To understand how racial injustice works subconsciously in America, all you need to do is watch how quickly + readily some people jump to justify stripping voting rights for millions of people, yet how uncomfortable and fraught that convo becomes when one brings up reparations. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

-We “shouldn’t” incarcerate for nonviolent offenses, -We “shouldn’t” have school-to-prison pipelines, -We “shouldn’t” sentence poc more than white people for similar crimes, ...but we do. We’re so eager to talk about punishment, but correcting our injustices is “controversial.” — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Many rebut the voting question by saying, “Well, *those* people shouldn’t be jailed.” Glad you feel that way! But the truth is, the US incarcerates more people per capita than anywhere in the world - even more than China. Our system is built to disenfranchise people of color ⬇️ https://t.co/onplIlK4jV — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Reminder: - Slavery ➡️ Jim Crow + Redlining ➡️ War on Drugs ➡️ Mass Incarceration - Black Americans & PoC are far more likely to be convicted + sentenced longer than White Americans for similar crimes. - Our system routinely criminalizes poverty + exonerates wealth — PolitiTweet.org
