In cannabis banking hearing,
@AOC asks: "are we compounding the racial wealth gap right now?" She also asks the panel if "the folks who profited off for-profit incarceration could be the first to profit off legalization?" Corey Barnette's answer: "yes."#cannabisnewspic.twitter.com/NwfYdjgJ05Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

Apparently this is a normal practice, and people don’t bat an eye. The first few people in line are guaranteed a seat in a given hearing. This was the hearing for marijuana banking laws. Lobbyists and those who can afford it pay people to hold their spot so they get in 1st.

Shock doesn’t begin to cover it. Today I left a hearing on homelessness & saw tons of people camped outside committee. I turned to my staff and asked if it was a demonstration. “No,” they said. “Lobbyists pay the homeless + others to hold their place so they can get in 1st.”pic.twitter.com/mXbgqkKp4P

Reminder that their plan = no plan. Why? Because for billionaires, things are already going fine.https://twitter.com/jengranholm/status/1095523505393684481 …

Don’t mess with our future. When it comes to climate, it’s all our lives at stake. The younger you are, the more consequences you’ll see. It’s life and death for us. And we will fight like it.https://twitter.com/thenation/status/1095485229291237376 …

Do you really think these increasingly regular & horrific wildfires & droughts are a coincidence? That growing regularity of “100-year floods” is an accident? We are losing our homes & loved ones *now.* 3,000 Americans died in María. And GOP doesn’t even care enough to try.

We are already feeling the early nightmares of climate crisis, & the GOP is doing nothing to stop it - as they have for years. I’ve been reading docs all week about how much people knew about climate + when. They knew early. & Their goal has been to sow doubt this entire time.https://twitter.com/vanityfair/status/1095469665600659467 …

Trust me, I like ice cream way too much to do that. (I also like visiting my family in Puerto Rico too much to “ban airplanes”) Maybe if the GOP did their job for once & read a piece of legislation, they’d see that communities + jobs come FIRST, not last, in the

@AOC stopping by@afa_cwa to hear Flight Attendant concerns on a continued Shutdown. We appreciate all efforts to help save lives, jobs, and lift up labor rights.

Lots of people here proclaiming to be “woke” trying to police communities on what they are/aren’t allowed to be upset by. I’m proud
@IlhanMN raised the issue of lobbyistin politics & equally proud of her sensitivity to communities. Both are possible.https://twitter.com/maxberger/status/1095054184896974848?s=21 …

We have a growing anti-semitism problem in America.
@IlhanMN is not part of it. @lindasrsour is not part of it. They are allies of mine and of Jews across this country who are fighting for peace, racial justice, immigrants’ rights, and the defeat of fascism.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Unlike this President, Rep.
@IlhanMN demonstrated a capacity to acknowledge pain & apologize, use the opportunity to learn abt history of antisemitism,+grow from it while clarifying her stance. I’m also inspired by Jewish leadership who brought her in, not push her out, to heal.https://twitter.com/jdforward/status/1095375491664695298 …Show this threadThanks.

On the same day Donald Trump announced an end to his family separation policy, we saw 70 migrants file into an immigration courtroom, where unaccompanied brothers were separated from unaccompanied sisters. That was in June 2018. It's only getting worse.

Why is it so controversial to say that when children die in an agency’s care and there’s no accountability, they shouldn’t have their budget expanded? People need to wake up. Trump’s not building a wall. He’s building detention camps for kids. And we’re falling for it.https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1095375229445120002 …

It just appeared one day. Some mothers came by & left 2-3 encouraging notes on my plaque. We left them up, bc it was great to read those little encouraging words every morning. Soon, more post-its came. It became a little ritual for the public, so we left stacks out for people.https://twitter.com/cllrainslie/status/1095373314489491456 …
