Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram after the Department of Homeland Security suggested they may pursue arrests of three Democratic lawmakers who partook in a protest outside of an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Rob Menendez (D-NJ) and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) all attended the protest.
Her and Sanders didn’t even have the courage or wherewithal to head down to El Salvador to back up Garcia, had to leave it to some no-name centrist Senator
Fair weather ass pretenders
Maybe she knew she wouldn’t get a
photo op
AOCIA showing she only cares to do photo ops and social media stunts, not enough to actually do ANYTHING else
“Oh I know, I’ll vote ‘present’ on this measure that everyone with a soul is against”
“Garcia who??? I have to arm Israel sweety”
She’s right. Congress would have a problem.
If they lock up a member of Congress, dems will fold faster than a house of cards.
They have no teeth except when there’s a person with mildly center left policies or a middle eastern country that’s not giving them unlimited access to their oil
Yes, you… a member of the Democratic Party… will have a problem when the Republican Party starts locking up members of the Democratic Party. You will be in jail, prison, or disappeared to places unknown.
I hope Trump does a Saddam-style purge on the entire Congress
I won’t do anything about anyone else, but if you come for me, I might try to stop you.
lmao, the fuck is she going to do? write a strongly worded letter? make a frowny face at them?
“The Democratic party is working tirelessly to get our colleagues released from prison”
This is the most important election of our lives. If you stand with the #Resistance, donate $5 to the Democrat Resistance Fund today.
Cry outside their jail cell in front of cameras while wearing all white and high heels
It’s clearly petition* time!
*The ghoulish art of giving people a false sense of agency by asking them to sign one.
She’ll make a really sarcastic TikTok and then do a goofy GenZ dance
She’s gonna insta but do it really, really sternly.
Nice to know she and the rest of Congress draws the line right before themselves. “Representatives”, my ass.
That’s actually kind of interesting. Will the Dems call their followers to violence if their own lives are on the line? The capitol riot may have traumatized enough of them
The problem: a bunch of posts on Instagram with mildly strident language.
we were supposed to be above the ‘rules based law and order’!
fuck i’m tired of rich people concern trolling about the kinda stuff working class people experince everyday
that’s exactly what person who doesn’t want to do resistance nonsense would say
I can excuse rounding up average citizens but if they touch politicians we’re going to have a problem.
Just thinking back to how Rashida Talib was treated when she was trying to bring attention to the Palestinian genocide and how none of her peers backed her up.
But now that Trump is president its a good time to stand up for peers since bad things only happen when there’s a dang Cheeto in the White House.
dems take the house, AOC becomes speaker
aoc kills trump and vance, then pardons herself as president
Fam, if you’ve found a door to
Narniathe timeline chuds imagine we live in, tag us in
glad to hear we don’t yet have a problem
