@AOC Cyntoia Brown killed the man who trafficked her in self-defense. She was sentenced to 51 years, she served 15.

Kyle Rittenhouse crossed state lines, illegally brandished a weapon, killed two people, and injured a third. Found not guilty.
There is no justice in America.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

What we are witnessing is a system functioning as designed and protecting those it was designed for.

My heart still breaks for the communities and families whose grief now compounds, and the countless others who will be denied and deprived in similar scenes across the country.

BREAKING: This morning on the day I am reporting to prison, I was interviewed by the renowned journalist Amy Goodman on @democracynow.

"My imprisonment is a way to try to intimidate other lawyers and activists. It will backfire."

@Jerr_a_adee @bryanbehar No. If America didn't have a problem with white supremacists taking the law into their own hands and not being appropriately punished for that THEN this wouldn't be an issue. Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer and America has a violent gun obsession.

[Bryan Behar @bryanbehar]

Kyle Rittenhouse crossed state lines and murdered two peaceful protesters. And the judge won’t even allow attorneys to call the deceased “victims.”

Something tells me not to expect the world’s fairest trial.

@brhodes @AOC RT @TomthunkitsMind
Rep. @AOC directly confronted this military contractor for taking huge profit margins at the expense of American taxpayers

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

It says a lot that’s not good about American politics and society that $7.5 trillion for a decade on defense gets almost no debate while less than half of that investing in people and saving the planet is so hard to pass

I can safely say I’ve now been cancer free for 3 years. My doc told me last night. It’s a milestone year after stage IV colon cancer. I feel fortunate, lucky and determined to not waste the days I’ve been given. In a time of so much death, I wanted to share a small note of life.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

In Washington, I usually know my questions of power are getting somewhere when the powerful stop referring to me as “Congresswoman” and start referring to me as “young lady” instead 😉

@homemadeguitars You make Twitter a better place. I just found you and I love you already 💕

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Still thinking about how @GovAbbott’s message to survivors terrified of the bounties now on their heads is “I will end rape.”

No, he won’t. He & the GOP just gave abusers & coercive partners a powerful new tool to intimidate victims.

These GOP laws HELP abusers, not stop them.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

The Women's Health Protection Act would codify Roe v Wade. We've got to pass it ASAP.

[Ron Placone @RonPlacone]

The fact that they're ending unemployment benefits during a pandemic and on Labor Day should dispel any doubts that our government is anything more than a corporate coup sponsored by Wall Street.

[Jeff McFadden @JeffAndDonkeys]

I know Democrats are supposed to be all in favor of "infrastructure."
And all against "climate change."
Obviously we'd rather not discuss the reality of concrete, steel, bulldozers and diesel fuel.
Might as well take Mother Earth out back and shoot her.
It's fucking disgusting.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

On Labor Day it’s important to remember that police unions are not part of the labor movement. One of the basic purposes of modern police has been to crush every attempt by the working class to organize for social, labor, environmental, racial, gender, and immigrant justice.

@TG22110 People without wombs shouldn’t be able to regulate them.
