When you’re in the struggle, it can be hard to see everything you’ve accomplished so far. What @NYTWA has done to fight for the lives of NYC cab drivers is nothing short of remarkable and inspiring. Now they are on a hunger strike to bring it home. Let’s stand with them 💪🏽🚕⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Anyways this one goes out to anyone in any workplace or setting who deep down knows they need to put in Olympic level effort just to be treated as equivalent to a junior varsity walk-on. I see you. It’s not fun, but it’s real - and it’s not in your head. Keep shining ✨ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It’s not imposter syndrome when institutions actually do treat you differently yet pretend they don’t It’s not imposter syndrome when institutions treat hardworking newcomers like invaders, yet normalize & accept deep corruption or incompetency from ppl we’re “used” to in power — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It never stops astounding me how much caution and work goes in every single day to get everything right, 2x as good, to avert even the perception of a mistake, bc if one happens it’s explosive. Just to look aside & know if you did anything close to what your peers do it’d be over — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I wore a dress a month ago and people lost their minds in vitriol and attack. Meanwhile we have members fraudulently claiming positions to access confidential information, abusing campaign funds, and raking in big pharma cash while blocking leg and we just normalize it and shrug — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Feels like there are a zillion scandals a month Republicans get in that would result in my expulsion or sanction if I ever did the same I know it’s a tired thing to say, but over time it’s a bummer to experience how systematically an institution treats different people — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to @NYCComptroller for crunching the numbers and laying out the plan and @NYCMayorsOffice for executing on it — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

And while it’s important to note that market-based approaches alone will NOT solve the climate crisis (in fact they largely created it to begin w/), divestment mvmts help create the conditions & pressure necessary for even larger leaps. So there’s your good news of the day 🌎🗞 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

NYC is home to some of the largest pensions in the country. If other cities & states join,we’re talking major shifts for climate. And it’s not only pensions. Univ endowments can divest, too. Want to help? Ask your school or pension to divest from fossil fuels & into climate😉🌎 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

That’s where workers come in to spark change. By demanding their retirements be divested of fossil fuels, workers and voters are precipitating large shifts of $ out of big oil, gas,etc. That amps up pressure & leaves companies like Exxon w/ fewer places to get fossil fuel money. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I sit on the Financial Services Cmte & often see how Wall St leverages risky &/or unpopular investments onto public pensions, taking bets and setting up workers to hold the bag. As fossil fuels sink in popularity, pension funds have been an important source for fossil fuel $. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Pension funds are massive pools of money that fund retirement for teachers, city workers, and other public employees. These funds invest throughout our economy, & the sheer size of pension plans in the US economy (~$5.5 trillion according to @PensionDialog) make them powerful. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Actually good, major climate news: today New York City is announcing its public pensions are fully divesting out of the fossil fuel industry and into renewables & climate - a massive shift of about $50 billion. 🌎 This move is led by NYC workers. Here’s why this is a big deal.⤵️ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@2AvSagas @boerumhillnbrs Respectfully, one of the biggest fights we’ve taken on in the infra bill has been pushing mass transit & rail💰 (as well as green NYCHA $). Fed doesn’t have the direct touch city/state does, but transit is critical! Addressing the messed up LGA Airtrain plan has been big too — PolitiTweet.org

Major climate announcement incoming 🌎☺️ and it’s actually good — PolitiTweet.org

@chrislhayes One thing I was shocked by here is that one outlet that regularly asks substantive questions for people’s understanding is (wait for it😬) TMZ of all places. They have to ask questions for a broader audience so it’s more “what does this mean for us” instead of“who scored a point” — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@chrislhayes It’s Beltway Brain. Lots of political press spend their time covering the day’s gossip & maneuvering w/ a number tossed in at the expense of covering impact. Meanwhile 1/2 of these outlets are like “sponsored by big oil & pharma! Today’s guest editor is a right-wing YouTuber.”🙃 — PolitiTweet.org
