“While I am incredibly flattered that [many GOP members] are so enamored w/ a resolution presented by a freshman Congresswoman sworn in 3 months ago... it doesn't seem they've actually read the contents. I would encourage that we don't need Cliff Notes for a 14 page resolution.” — PolitiTweet.org

Justifying psychopathy because low empathy, narcissism, dishonesty + lack of deep emotional attachments are traits that have made a tiny handful of people billionaires (yet land many more people in prison while not getting adequate mental healthcare) is very 2019. — PolitiTweet.org

Garden planting success! This is my first time trying a garden like this, so let’s see how it goes. Shoshin approach. Big ups to Ginkgo Gardens for giving me lots of guidance this morning 🌻 Here is their helpful blog for beginners: https://t.co/ZnXffjrbE1 https://t.co/9RdojKn5qI — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Sunday! Excited to say I’m tending to a community garden plot for the next few months :) It’s a 4x4 plot we get to tend to now through Sept. Any green-thumbs out with sage🌱 words of advice? What should I plant? (Ideally at least 1 edible thing but we can do flowers too) — PolitiTweet.org

Understand when Jeanine Pirro goes on Fox + rallies people to think hijabs are threatening, it leads to this. Folks who imply we’re “bad” for politics, the party, the country, etc. have no idea the threats we deal w/ because of that kind of language. Talk policy, not personal. — PolitiTweet.org

The good news is that we can improve this easily w/ honest reflection. For ex, are certain hairstyles discouraged in your workplace?Why? Can you think of someone who didn’t advance bc of how they spoke? Why? Examine what’s deemed “unprofessional” around you & adapt it to 2019. — PolitiTweet.org

We see the perceived “costs” to not code-switching all the time. Can’t tell you how many young people in our community don’t have the confidence they should bc they didn’t grow up learning secondary speech. Their talents get stifled by “respectability,” despite enormous gifts. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Code-switching is referenced a lot in pop culture. It was a big element in a major film last year: “Sorry To Bother You.” If you’re confused about how code-switching is a cultural reality for people of color & communities, read about it. Some accounts: https://t.co/3YfBR074qs — PolitiTweet.org

Next time you‘re told straight hair is “unprofessional” & that speaking like your parents do is “uneducated,” then you can complain about code-switching. Code switching is a tool communities learn when they’re told their voice, appearance, & mannerisms are “unprofessional.” — PolitiTweet.org

Today, April 4th, marks the day of MLK’s assassination. His last speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” delivered the evening before his passing, is critical to take in. King may have been taken, but he left instructions. Thank you @BerniceKing for your tireless work. — PolitiTweet.org
