I was, indeed, on a call 🤣🐶 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We just hit $4 million! Reps. Sylvia Garcia, Sheila Jackson Lee & Al Green of Houston are doing incredible work w/ local relief organizations to get emergency relief to Texans. Today we went to food distributions, water delivery sites, and home tours of impacted Texans. https://t.co/5QzIgYvz8L — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I can’t believe we’ve surged past $3 million for Texas! Houston Food Bank is using resources like these to try to get 30,000 meal boxes out in the next TWO days. They’re just 1 of 12 Texas orgs were now partnering with. Let’s keep going! Give here: https://t.co/4PQkp3Z4KV — PolitiTweet.org

@ossoff Thank you @ossoff! — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We hit $3.2 MILLION in Texas relief support last night! One of the places it’s going is the Houston Food Bank. I’m visiting Reps. @JacksonLeeTX18 & @LaCongresista with volunteers to pack meals. The bank REALLY needs helping hands. Can you join a shift? https://t.co/93wBfD4YdI https://t.co/62AvCb4CL7 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Alright Houston! We need some helping hands. The Houston Food Bank (one of our relief partners) needs volunteers tomorrow (and onward, I imagine) to help get supplies to Texans in need. We’ll be there. If you’d like to join and help, @LaCongresista’s got the link to sign up ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve now raised $2 MILLION in relief for Texans & are adding more orgs.🙏🏽 I’ll be flying to Texas today ✈️ to visit with Houston rep Sylvia Garcia (@LaCongresista) to distribute supplies and help amplify needs & solutions. Let’s see how far we can go: https://t.co/4PQkp4gG9v — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @BetoORourke for helping organize thousands of wellness check-in calls! 📞 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Totally blown away. $1M raised in direct relief for Texans in less than a day. As a thank you to everyone who contributed & amplified, I’ll be going to Texas this weekend to visit w/ @LaCongresista in Houston & highlight what’s happening on the ground. https://t.co/DSkTSqfbkZ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Wow. We officially raised $1 million for Texas relief at 9:17pm. Thank you all so much. 🙏🏽 I’m at a loss for words. Always in awe of movement work. 💯% of this relief is going straight to Texan food assistance, homelessness relief, elder care, and more. https://t.co/DSkTSqfbkZ — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

I feel like I should do something if we hit $1M in Texas relief. What should it be? (Don’t be weird pls) https://t.co/1MJnHpfagF — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Holy smokes. Our Texas relief mobilization has already raised $325k for food, housing, elder care & direct relief straight to vulnerable Texans. This might be a little crazy... but can we raise $1M by midnight? 💯% goes to Feeding Texas, ECHO & more: https://t.co/TTIiNimja7 — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuel billionaires are profiting off this nightmare. CFOs called it a “jackpot.” The reason GOP are scrambling to blame the Green New Deal is bc it’s the biggest legislative threat against the corrupt powers responsible for (& benefiting from) the suffering unfolding now. — PolitiTweet.org

@imterribleathis I’m so bummed about it 😞 virtual hearings aren’t the same, I’m sorry — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Team AOC is launching relief efforts for Texas starting today. Our first effort is a partnership w/ 5 Texas orgs getting on-the-ground relief to Texans ASAP. If you’re able, please donate here - it’ll split your contribution to all 5. 💯% goes to them. https://t.co/TTIiNimja7 — PolitiTweet.org

Yep. My turn comes up towards the very end, so anywhere between 40-70 minutes from now depending on attendance. — PolitiTweet.org

If Sen. Cruz had resigned back in January after helping gin up a violent insurrection that killed several people, he could’ve taken his vacation in peace. Texans should continue to demand his resignation. But don’t blame me for this, my points are on Amtrak! 🚊 — PolitiTweet.org

@choptopmoseley I’m doing 40 days for Lent but you can do whatever you want! Could be 1 day/week for 40 days. Or just one day! — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

3. If neither of the above apply but you are in a position to give or help others in this time, please consider doing so in the spirit of Tommy. He loved the world so much and dedicated his life to reducing suffering around the world. 💜 Thank you! https://t.co/VbJrcCQ3Ui — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

1. Does anyone want to join me? Rules are 1) No judgement 2) Make it your own (you can go full 40 days, just veggie Mondays, etc 3) Be inclusive (no need to observe Lent to join) 2. Please comment w your favorite veggie recipes below! I would like to avoid 40 days of Easy Mac 🙃 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Ok everyone, I need help! A few weeks ago I told @RepRaskin that this year I wanted to adopt a vegetarian diet for Lent in memory of his son Tommy. Jamie said, “Well you’d have to do it the way Tommy would, which means bring people along with you!” ☺️ So, I have 3 requests: — PolitiTweet.org

@NickAPappas I hear ya. What gets left out in this convo is the massive racial wealth gap in the US. White high school dropouts are on avg wealthier than Black + Latino college grads. Education doesn’t close that economic gap & loans impact higher % of Black borrowers https://t.co/OMeiFBDnuq — PolitiTweet.org
