Or maybe we hit the “cancel” button on this so-called “bipartisan” charade of an Exxon lobbyist drafted infrastructure bill unless we actually pass a law that helps people’s lives with healthcare expansion, childcare, climate action, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuel corps & dark money is destroying our democracy, country, & planet. All day our community has been pulling bodies out of homes from the flood. Entire families. And we’re supposed to entertain lobbyist talking points about why we should abandon people & do nothing? No. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Manchin has weekly huddles w/ Exxon & is one of many senators who gives lobbyists their pen to write so-called “bipartisan” fossil fuel bills. It’s killing people. Our people. At least 12 last night. Sick of this “bipartisan” corruption that masquerades as clear-eyed moderation. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

One piece of data I’m seeing: the subway stations + other infrastructure rebuilt post-Hurricane Sandy for climate resilience *worked.* It was areas that *didn’t* get investment that suffered. We shouldn’t wait for climate disaster to rebuild & prepare- that’s what GND is about. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re a person with some time today, we need your help! We’re launching our community check-in dialer & texter to check in on storm victims. Volunteers will help us identify people in critical need. Bilingual folks could really help families a ton: https://t.co/V0mD6qCDky — PolitiTweet.org

As a result, among the people MOST at risk during flash floods here are those living in off-the-books basement dwellings that don’t meet the safety codes necessary to save lives. These are working class, immigrant, and low-income people & families. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

How the climate crisis is an inequality crisis: Many of these deaths occurred in basement dwellings, many of which are illegal and growing in # due to the unaffordable housing crisis, but do not meet safety standards required to keep people safe in incidents like flash floods. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I will be canvassing the district today assessing the impact from last night’s catastrophic flooding. Tragically, we lost several community members last night. Please check in on your neighbors - especially those in low-level apartments. I’ll provide updates here and on @RepAOC. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Republicans promised to overturn Roe v Wade, and they have. Democrats can either abolish the filibuster and expand the court, or do nothing as millions of peoples’ bodies, rights, and lives are sacrificed for far-right minority rule. This shouldn’t be a difficult decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Ironically I was supposed to visit Minnesota tomorrow to visit movement leaders fighting the #Line3 pipeline & urging the Biden admin to stop building fossil fuel infrastructure - which is leading to the same catastrophic climate events harming our country and city right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We are running out of time to act on climate. Members of both parties engage in misleading rhetoric and funny math to convince the public we are addressing climate change more than we are - & that includes parts of the current infrastructure plan. We need a Green New Deal now. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Please do not be the person who orders delivery during a flash flood that the NWS has deemed a dangerous and life-threatening situation. It puts vulnerable people at risk. If it’s too dangerous for you, it’s too dangerous for them. Raid your cabinets or ask a neighbor for help. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Experiencing all this flooding in NYC right now and thinking about all the politicians who told me that pursuing a Green New Deal to adapt our nat’l infrastructure to climate change is “unrealistic” & “too expensive.” As if doing too little is the responsible, adult thing to do? — PolitiTweet.org

Now is not the time to feel hopeless or helpless. Now is the time to act. All across Texas, grassroots organizers have been protecting their neighbors and the right to choose. They need us. We made a split page for 8 key orgs here - 💯% goes to them. ⬇️ https://t.co/vnjXRk6RaT — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The fact is Dems CAN act now to protect our democracy, voting rights, integrity of our courts, and end minority rule. The Dem Senators in the way need to get on board. The stakes are too high. We must end the filibuster, expand the court, stop dark money & protect voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

In case you’re wondering why people are going on TV relentlessly attacking Biden for his courageous decision to leave Afghanistan when no other president would, here’s one glimpse as to why. War is addictive for the few who reap its profits, while the rest of us foot the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Shout out to the 2 “moderate” GOP women who chose to ignore survivors across the country in their delusion that confirming a man credibly accused of sexual assault & a woman hostile to repro rights would have no effect on Roe v Wade. Today couldn’t have happened without you 👍🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Among many other warnings, survivors warned that sexual assault is about abuse of power,& a judge credibly accused of such shouldn’t be trusted w the rights of the vulnerable. Now Roe is upended. But we’re not going anywhere. This is a fight for our lives.https://t.co/9PhrgeYuHv — PolitiTweet.org
