AOC is speaking for the Youngs. Case in point, twenty-something, normally apolitical archaeology guy Milo Rossi has been on a days-long tear about Elon Musk's Nazi salute. The gaslighting MAGA-bro whines about them are just making him eagerly triple-down.
Dems, remember how much we needed the Youngs to show up and vote? This is how you make that happen. Fuck the Nazis.
Watch out for the sleight of hand game they are playing with even the simplest words. They insist they're only hunting down "the criminals." Behind the Orwellian curtain, however, they are defining the mere existence of certain people in this country as a crime. And while you're weeping for that wonderful Guatemalan nurse's aide from the apartment upstairs, they're still at it, the insidious totalitarian lava-flow toward the rest of us.
Think you're not a criminal? You might be locked in a holding cell when it crosses your mind: Oh...that time I took Lina's twins, the night she feared ICE would pound on her door. Someone--one of the neighbors you thought you could trust--said the wrong thing to the wrong person...who could be almost anyone now. Or no one.
They are getting us where they want us. Afraid. Distrustful. Even more distant from those around us than they'd already succeeded while shoving each one of us into the void alone.
Shits bad. Some of Trump's chaos will meet resistance but U fear there will be too much going on at once. Take Trump's order effectively silencing every federal health agency. Effectively blocking important work. Not to mention all the people who have basically lost their jobs with one executive order.
My trainings via the CDC have been canceled. My recertification of my professional title is in jeopardy.
My Black community is going to be hit hard if EEOC falls.
I learned today that because my father is Native, born and raised on a reservation, these folks have interpreted “jurisdiction” in a way that threatens my birthright. The irony.
And they hired a despicable creep to lead the armed forces in which I proudly-ish served.
I went home with my first migraine in two years today which was surprising and a little scary and I just realized I’m processing all this.
I struggled through historic rainfall and had to dig in a puddle to retrieve my drivers license after I dropped it because it MATTERED SO MUCH to vote and so many of my fellow citizens that I thought cared about the people I care about decided to stay home. I feel betrayed and I am heartbroken and I appreciate having this one safe place to say it out loud because I don’t really have anywhere else to do so.
My late mother, whose memory will always be both a curse and a blessing, finished her USPS life as EEOC Commissioner for the Philadelphia Region, which was based in Trenton NJ. If she saw what was going on, she would spit "ptui!" and curse in Yiddish.
I also just recently learned I am 10% Ashkenazi Jew by ancestry and I would like very much to start learning Yiddish. It seems to be the best language for a) describing the human condition and b) cussing people without profanity.
I've worked in a position that pushed EEO compliance in the past. I've also been a shop steward, a regional union officer, a recruiter, and an activist/pro labor lobbyist of sorts. For the first time in over two decades, I genuinely fear for my once very stable job.
I commented earlier about how I sometimes stumble upon AOC's InstaLives and Post/Stories (yeah, I follow but didn't check in religiously til the Xodus) and how she'll usually make me stop in my tracks and watch and listen. Well, about an hour ago, she made a video post on Instagram (video sight, so yeah, LOL) of a snippet of a discussion with Jon Stewart on his podcast @weeklyshowpodcast It was a great, quick info filled segment about how the Dems should go forward and I can't wait to check out the rest of it. The snippet I found included AOC doing as great Sinema impression. Check it out if you can. Her two most recent uploads are from the Stewart interview.
I have never been so scared for AOC's safety. Nay, not even on Jan6. I am proud of her even though she doesn't rep me in the House. There are men and women who ran for office in 2024 whom I will not support with donations going forward. THEY HELPED the fascists with this BS. I am disgusted and angry and I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.
These right-wing types. Always in a hurry. Making changes by pushing things off a cliff. No easing in. No trying things out. No gradual progress toward a goal. No tweaks. Just push it all off the cliff and -- hey! -- be sure to take a moment to enjoy the drop.
Democrats are complicit. They make me sick. The only ones with balls all have wombs. AOC needs to start an anti-fascist, anti-compliant third party.
Did you know, when your article is shared on Meta, it gets removed right away. I and others have tried sharing it and it just disappears in minutes.
Do Not work with those unpatriotic bastards who want to kill the Constitution and all of its protections. DO NOT!!!

Anyone know how to see AOCs insta lives without Instagram? I don’t have Instagram and was hoping there might be a place that catalogs them.

Ta, Evan. Yes! It's a place to start.
I have long admired AOC and how she uses her socials to educate her followers.
Gawd i wish there were more like her in office.

I am empty.
I feel for you. I an scared for immigrants, for trans people, for poor people who have physical or mental health needs. I an scared for so many.
I’m so glad my trans son is living in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

As far as I'm concerned, as the only person showing any leadership, AOC is the defacto leader of the democratic party.
We should all chip in and get her a sexy helmet:

but, fashion colors. Not that stupid camo
someone ask her if she wants one. I'll pay

Remember when they whined that we were ramming Obamacare down their throats?
