  2. Heartbroken to hear of the San Diego synagogue shooting, particularly so on this final day of Passover. We have a responsibility to love + protect our neighbors. The longer the Senate delays holding a vote on , the more we put Americans at risk.

    "The more we take, the less there is for future generations": This 83-year-old climate change activist spent his birthday on top of a train amid protests in London. More than 1,000 people have been arrested over 11 days of demonstrations.

    Civics lesson for the NRA: As much as they may not like it, the Bronx and Queens are part of “the real America,” too. Wild that the NRA is suggesting the voters of NY-14 aren’t “real Americans” bc they don’t think assault weapons in school classrooms is a good idea.

    Step 1: Call yourself the “Grim Reaper for socialist legislation” Step 2: Call anything + everything “socialist legislation” Step 3: Profit... (...from $300/mo insulin, fracking pipelines, poisoned water, for-profit prisons, pricing out communities, assault weapons, etc)

    GOP already bad-faith attacking “nonviolent offenses.” Clearly if you are looking at CONTEXT CLUES in my thread & limits of 280 chars you know I’m referring to nonviolent drug offenses. Swear it’s like we’re back to encouraging 1st grade readers when it comes to some “pundits.”

    To understand how racial injustice works subconsciously in America, all you need to do is watch how quickly + readily some people jump to justify stripping voting rights for millions of people, yet how uncomfortable and fraught that convo becomes when one brings up reparations.

    -We “shouldn’t” incarcerate for nonviolent offenses, -We “shouldn’t” have school-to-prison pipelines, -We “shouldn’t” sentence poc more than white people for similar crimes, ...but we do. We’re so eager to talk about punishment, but correcting our injustices is “controversial.”

    Many rebut the voting question by saying, “Well, *those* people shouldn’t be jailed.” Glad you feel that way! But the truth is, the US incarcerates more people per capita than anywhere in the world - even more than China. Our system is built to disenfranchise people of color ⬇️

    Reminder: - Slavery ➡️ Jim Crow + Redlining ➡️ War on Drugs ➡️ Mass Incarceration - Black Americans & PoC are far more likely to be convicted + sentenced longer than White Americans for similar crimes. - Our system routinely criminalizes poverty + exonerates wealth

    VA is not broken, and it’s not perfect. It provides some of the best veteran care in the country — that's a fact — but red tape and wait times are unacceptable. I’d ask not to tell members to shut their mouth. represents veterans, just like the rest of us.

    To avoid looking completely + utterly out of touch w/ the reality our prison system: Instead of asking, “Should the Boston Bomber have the right to vote?” Try, “Should a nonviolent person stopped w/ a dime bag LOSE the right to vote?” Bc that question reflects WAY more people.

    Like many public systems, GOP want to rip the battery out + say the whole car doesn’t work, so they can sell it for parts. Fully funding the VA & hiring to fill the *49k vacancies* is a clear path to improving it - not auctioning off our vet care systems to for-profit companies.

    The GOP participates in a lobbyist-friendly campaign to trash the VA, so we tear it up & shop out vet care to for-profit healthcare corps. To reduce VA wait times, we must FUND the VA so they can hire+fill the 48,000 vacancies for healthcare providers for our vets.

    I rep one of the strongest concentrations of veterans in NYC. The Bronx VA provides excellent care and community for our vets, who sing its praises. The way to improve VA care & reduce wait times (which can be shorter than priv care!) is by fully funding it - not privatizing it.

    Just got back from a few (mostly) unplugged days visiting my abuela in PR, and I see the President is tweeting about me. Just another day at the office! 😊

    Flight Attendants have been told that and ’s resolution will ground all air travel. That’s absurd. Climate change itself is the job killer. We need everyone at the table to drive solutions that put workers first & leaves no one behind.
