AOC 2028

Community is the antidote to despair.

Happy to host! 🌹

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire.

Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Hmm can we workshop the name please? They’re going to be bullied by the skibidi kids

They’re planning a heist in plain sight.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

If you’re able, please send some prayers and positivity our way for today and tomorrow please 🙏🏽 Gracias!

We can do this. Tomorrow is the day. Do not give up early. Do not be discouraged! A close vote is what we needed here and that’s what we got.

Stay POSITIVE and PRAYERFUL and I will be working.

STAY POSITIVE!

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Tried my best. Sorry I couldn’t pull it through everyone - we live to fight another day. ♥️

Tweet from Trump that says: “Really too bad that AOC lost the Battle for the Leadership Seat in the Democrat Party. She should keep trying. Someday, she will be successful!”

You know it’s bad when even Trump is pity posting through it 💀

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Let’s start a Baja Blast happy hour. First of every month - today can run through the 2nd.

Cocktail and mocktail recipes + photos welcome 🚀

These losers do this because their only shot at companionship is a hostage situation, so they spend all day harassing people into thinking a woman’s self worth should resemble their own.

If they tried being kind and not approaching every relationship as a transaction, they would be much happier

Did anyone else first see this on Clarissa Explains It All and pined over it the rest of their childhood

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

AOC: This brings me to Hanlon's razor which is to not ascribe to malice what can be more easily attributed to stupidity

YouTube video by MSNBC 'This is genocide': Amnesty International accuses Israel of Gaza genocide

Last night, I spoke with Amnesty International's executive director about their new report on Israel's war in Gaza and its conclusion that Israel is committing genocide.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Fun fact: there’s never been a Democratic director of the FBI in its entire history.

And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials.

I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds.

Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)

Many are reckoning w the role Elon played in the election & how he artificially manipulated X’s algorithm for his purposes. There is real concern about legitimizing misinfo w/ their presence.

Of course, there ARE people there, and that is not easily dismissed.

But talks of a larger switch are real

Oh look! It’s a gallery of things I must now order online because it takes 20 minutes to find the Keeper of the Deodorant Key
