Trump administration establishes National Department of Shooting Puppies.

Traditional Democrat Politicians: “We strongly oppose this.”

AOC: “I’m coming to that department’s front door with my motherfucking nunchucks.”

Justices should have the same bar as Congress.

Clarence Thomas taking $4 MILLION in bribes is a travesty. The non-recusals of cases involving the corrupt pay-offs/vacations are a travesty. The Federalist Society grooming the worst judges is a travesty.

The Right Wing creates the swamp, then fills the swamp with dirty money, then they talk about bullshit like deep state corruption.

Nope. It's your guys taking bribes.

If you feel like you’re being crushed by the unbearable weight of the chaotic news cycle and all you want to do is curl into a little ball and fall into a four-year coma, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) wants you to know that it’s by design. On Tuesday, the New York lawmaker took to Instagram Live for a roughly 90-minute chat about the current state of the United States government, and how everyday people who disagree with President Donald Trump’s administration can fight back in “tangible” ways. “I want you all to understand that if you are watching the news right now and you are feeling overwhelmed by all of the constant headlines and developments and what is happening,” Ocasio-Cortez said at the beginning of her Instagram Live. “First of all, know that you are not alone. And second of all, know that that is exactly what this administration is trying to get you to feel.” She continued, “What authoritarian regimes try to do is that they often try to, what is known as ‘flood the zone.’”

Ocasio-Cortez defined “flood the zone” as when a government does “so much at once … that you feel overwhelmed and paralyzed.” “It’s important for you to understand that the paralysis and shock that you feel right now is the point,” she continued. “They are trying to induce a state of passivity among the general public.” Later on in her video, she emphasized that burying one’s head in the sand at this moment isn’t exactly the best tactic. “We need to try,” she said. “I don’t want to hear, ‘Oh, we can’t do that. That’s impossible.’ That’s called consenting in advance. So, when your mind says, ‘It’s all over, we might as well’ — no, no, no. … Do not be discouraged by temporary defeats. We keep going anyway. When we are relentless, they will fatigue. They can only hold this up for so long.”

AOC went on Instagram Live to talk about the “flood the zone” strategy designed to weaken resistance to authoritarian rule.

Interview with AOC, from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, during her appearance at the DNC

[berniesrevolution]

The Supreme Court has decided to transform the very nature of The State this week and only a clear-eyed and massive movement can reverse what's coming....

Collective punishment is a war crime

And the IDF is killing aid workers and innocent civilians

[saywhat-politics]

I represent LaGuardia Airport as well as workers for JFK.

Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week.

Air traffic controllers - already understaffed - got Trump’s “buyout” this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide.

It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.

[fuck-u-maga]

Love her

[thingstrumperssay]

Kinda wish that every Democrat would have the same kind of energy AOC has.

[angelsaxis]

Saying something only after he's murdered. I genuinely cannot stand her ass.

Scott Dworkin at The Dworkin Report:

We are 8 days into Trump’s return, and it’s clear as day that the pushback from Democrats is disjointed, and needs to be much stronger. But there are some absolute bright spots: outspoken, forceful, determined leaders, who will never cower to Donald. If we want to get serious about winning this fight against maga, these are the types of champions we’ll need to rally behind. US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has been an extremely effective messenger, who triggers maga at a baffling level. AOC’s slams get viral news coverage, and she knows how to cut through the nonsense better than most anybody out there. Just last week, AOC called out the Broligarchs who once criticized Trump, saying they’re now in a “kiss-ass race,” and enjoying “a billionaire feeding frenzy.” AOC also dropped the mic on Donald, calling him “the quintessential New York con man.” When Trump threw a tantrum about Colombia’s president refusing to accept deported immigrants, AOC said: “Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee,” and cause inflation to be “worse for working class Americans.” Spot on.

Then there’s US Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who truly knows how to command an audience. Crockett constantly takes on Marge Greene, Nancy Mace and the rest of the maga cult—during hearings and in public. In Crockett’s DNC speech, she said Trump “is a career criminal, with 34 felonies, 2 impeachments, and 1 porn star to prove it.” “If you’re looking for me to sugarcoat the reality we’re facing, I can’t do that,” Crockett recently told Harper’s Bazaar. US Sen. Tammy Duckworth has been taking on Republicans in ways few others could. A Purple Heart recipient, who lost her legs and severely injured her arm in battle, Duckworth said: “Trump is despicable. He doesn’t deserve to be commander-in-chief.” On cabinet picks, Duckworth took the gloves off, saying Tulsi Gabbard is “compromised,” and doubts “she could actually pass a background check.” Duckworth’s also sounding the alarm about the most unhinged nominee, Kash Patel—warning he’d use “law enforcement to seek retribution against his political enemies.” And as always, US Sen. Elizabeth Warren continues to completely decimate Trump on his corruption, and long list of failed promises. Just last night, Warren blasted Trump: “his failure to even try and move in the direction of lowering [grocery] costs is a betrayal of the American people.”

Happy to have AOC, Duckworth, Warren, and Crockett fighting for what is right.
