It’s already happening!

Tens/hundreds of millions of OUR tax dollars have gone to Trump’s clubs when he golfs there.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 20h

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Remember when this was just “one narco-terrorist boat”? Now it’s multiple strikes, foreign nationals dead, and no oversight. At what point will Congress demand answers from this Administration?

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Talking to normies, trying to undo Fox et al’s fearmongering and lies, and debating real issues.

And trying (usually in vain) to get these posers to join the anti-MAGA alliance.

Basically trying to rebuild if not improve the 2020 coalition.

I’d prefer full revolution, but that is REALLY unpopular

Stick to backstabbing allies, poser.

Where’s the lie in what she (Neera) said?

Por que no los dos?

Since you haven’t noticed, the people in power aren’t here.

You backstabbing posers *are* here, and y’all absolutely deserve to have holes poked in your ‘reasoning’ and guilt.

Y’alls’ hypocrisy is too damn real

For your precious info, I took down my pfp after realizing that my own supposed allies would rather proudly stand back and watch as countless lives are ruined rather than compromise - even to defeat literal Nazis

You asked me a question.

I responded honestly and in good faith.

You came back with “Close enough”.

I’m trying. You’re not. So stop fucking pretending you care.

By refusing to do the one simplest thing to save more lives than your “dirty” hands ever could, you absolutely are a poser.

What the fuck are you talking about? 😂

These dipshits talk about Palestine like it’s the only issue.
THERE’S A BUNCH OF OTHER, WORSE SHIT GOING ON

They talk like Dems are the literal devil when the Cons have DECADES of FAR worse human rights abuses

And they talk like there was a viable 3rd choice
