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.
I am sure the trump admin is shaking in its boots

We had our chance to give Ilhan Omar a Gundam.
She didn’t blow that chance. We did.
I remember how badly January 6th scared her out of a legitimate concern that they would kill her. She also became even more complicit with the Dems after that. Chances are she would fold as well.
People love to insist she was grown in a CIA lab to be a bartender or whatever, but I think AOC’s behavioral evolution is pretty much what you’d expect from a normie DSA lib who’s spent every waking hour for most of the last decade in an isolated bubble composed entirely of the worst people alive. The more time people spend in the imperial congress, the more they can’t help but start to see other congresspeople as their only peers and normal people as a vague abstract mass that can only be understood through op-eds, poll divination, and campaign strategists.
And imaginary friends.
Please, trump could lock the doors to the House of Representatives and start shooting dems one by one and these useless fucking ghouls would be voting for him to shoot other dems before them
Baath Party Congress of 2025
I would vote for a 3rd term

The majority of Dems in Congress would vote to allow the president to kill other Dems in Congress as long as they weren’t one of them. lol. What? Trump could strangle her on live TV and nothing. Nothing at all, would happen. The US is cooked.
She’s right. Congress would have a problem.
Okay what problem?
What’s she going to do? Write a strongly worded letter?
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.
is this a bit?
Unfortunately no
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.
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 opAOCIA 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”
She couldnt even wear a dress that says “eat the rich”, like she toned it down. If you do social media stunts as your “revolutionary” tactic at least have it a bit more confrontational.
“Garcia who??? I have to arm Israel sweety”
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
We already had a problem, the democrats could’ve figured this out when they started arresting students and teachers during the Biden admin. They were too busy navel gazing and tut-tutting to understand the A to B. You’re correct, they will absolutely fold, they stand for literally nothing.
Dems will immediately censure the first Dem senator to be arrested by the Trump admin
