This story from a survivor encapsulates how Republicans have used the 9/11 tragedy. @DanCrenshawTX went hysterical to get people mad at @IlhanMN. But there is no debating this: she supports renewing the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund; he has yet to do so.

One of the ugly aftermaths of 9/11 that is too often ignored is the codified profiling of Muslim-Americans solely bc of their faith.
No-fly lists. Warantless mosque surveillance. All of it.

'While I am incredibly flattered that [many GOP members] are so enamored w/ a resolution presented by a freshman Congresswoman sworn in 3 months ago... it doesn't seem they've actually read the contents.
I would encourage that we don't need Cliff Notes for a 14 page resolution.'Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez added,

Justifying psychopathy because low empathy, narcissism, dishonesty + lack of deep emotional attachments are traits that have made a tiny handful of people billionaires (yet land many more people in prison while not getting adequate mental healthcare) is very 2019.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez added,

For years the Navy used Vieques for military training, dropping explosives, resulting in enormous cancer rates. Now the least our gov't can do is build a new medical facility. Our gov't has a moral responsibility to address environmental degradation there!

When people are asked to name the 'best' colleges, Harvard, Yale and Stanford often come to mind.
But if you look at factors like diversity, social mobility and sheer number of lives changed, CUNY can make a strong case.

Only things we *can’t* plant are sunflowers🌻, corn🌽 , mint🌱, & strawberries🍓.
Aside from that, the world is our community garden 🌞

Happy Sunday! Excited to say I’m tending to a community garden plot for the next few months :)
It’s a 4x4 plot we get to tend to now through Sept.
Any green-thumbs out with sage🌱 words of advice?
What should I plant? (Ideally at least 1 edible thing but we can do flowers too)

Understand when Jeanine Pirro goes on Fox + rallies people to think hijabs are threatening, it leads to this.
Folks who imply we’re 'bad' for politics, the party, the country, etc. have no idea the threats we deal w/ because of that kind of language.
Talk policy, not personal.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez added,

Replying to @AOC
I visited the Hill to talk to staffers about our work recently. Before I went, I asked one of my colleagues about how to dress, if I could wear flats and also if I needed to straighten my hair.
Codeswitching is a thing some of us learn to help us navigate the world.

The good news is that we can improve this easily w/ honest reflection.
For ex, are certain hairstyles discouraged in your workplace?Why?
Can you think of someone who didn’t advance bc of how they spoke? Why?
Examine what’s deemed 'unprofessional' around you & adapt it to 2019.

We see the perceived 'costs' to not code-switching all the time.
Can’t tell you how many young people in our community don’t have the confidence they should bc they didn’t grow up learning secondary speech.
Their talents get stifled by 'respectability,' despite enormous gifts.
