Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s posts

Jun 8

The cynics will tell you that one vote won’t change anything. But what they don’t tell you is that nothing can change without a vote. The truth is, the world doesn’t belong to the cynics. It’s up to us. New York: It’s time to vote.

Tuesday, June 25th. Spread the word.

Being obsessed with repressing women is goofy. Trying to watch what LGBTQ+ people do all the time is abnormal. Punishing people who don’t have biological offspring is creepy. It’s an incel platform, dude. It’s SUPER weird. And people need to know.

This whole “they’re weird” argument from the Democrats is dumb & juvenile. This is a presidential election, not a high school prom queen contest. It’s also a tad ironic coming from the party that preaches “diversity & inclusion.” Win on policy if you can, but cut the crap please.

AOC’s Deepfake AI Porn Bill Unanimously Passes the Senate

Jul 26

We just got one BIG step closer to protecting victims of nonconsensual deepfake pornography. The DEFIANCE Act just passed the Senate, 100-0. Thank you

@SenatorDurbin

for your partnership and to my GOP colleagues for their good faith support of this bill.

I will never back down in speaking truth to power. The apartheid government of Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Palestinians will not be erased. Solidarity with all those outside of these walls in the streets protesting and exercising their right to dissent.

Netanyahu’s Visit to Washington Is Already a Debacle

Netanyahu’s publicity stunt visit to the US has been a debacle. No US official met him at the airport. A meeting with President Biden was postponed. Vice President Kamala Harris won’t preside over his address to Congress. And many will boycott his speech.

Just so we’re clear, Netanyahu has lost so many people that he is addressing just a fraction of Congress. When this happens, they fill the seats with non-members, like what they do at award ceremonies, in order to project the appearance of full attendance and support.

By my count, roughly 100 of the 212 House Democrats and 27 of 51 Senate Democrats (and Dem-caucusing independents) are in the chamber for Netanyahu's speech. That's around half of each caucus absent. x.com/AndrewSolender…

What women who attack others like this don’t realize is whoever they think they’re appealing to calls them “DEI” too the moment they leave the room.

When asked about @KamalaHarris candidacy, @HagemanforWY calls @VP a "DEI hire." "Intellectually, just really kind of the bottom of the barrel...I think she was a DEI hire. And I think that that's what we're seeing, and I just don't think that they have anybody else."

It is a dark day in US history when an authoritarian with warrant requests from the International Criminal Court is allowed to address a joint session of Congress. 40k Palestinians are dead. Hostages aren’t home. Netanyahu is a war criminal. I will be boycotting his address.

Rep.

is "more than up to the task." Also warns re: Harris: "It's going to be very important that we brace ourselves for some of the unfair, misogynistic, and racial undertones, overtones, explicit attacks and implicit attacks that she may be subject to."

Vance’s stump has got a nice Jeb Bush quality to it. And I mean that in the worst way possible. The lone, singular clap at the end is just 👩🏽‍🍳

Pay attention to propaganda narratives that will consolidate in next days. Propagandists know you should build on existing prejudices when introducing a new hate object or theme. Here Conway invokes racist stereotypes already familiar to many in MAGA.

Kamala Harris will be the next President of the United States. I pledge my full support to ensure her victory in November. Now more than ever, it is crucial that our party and country swiftly unite to defeat Donald Trump and the threat to American democracy. Let’s get to work.

I am hearing reports of some airlines only offering flight credits to passengers for cancelled flights. Let me be clear — you are entitled to get your money back promptly if your flight is cancelled and you don't take a rebooking.

Yep. People can listen for themselves and draw their own conclusions. But folks need to hear the truth about aspects of this convo that are not being adequately addressed when the stakes are so high. First ballots go out in ~8-9 weeks. Watch here: instagram.com/reel/C9l41vgOA

Replying to @drvolts

She's not doing what everyone else is doing -- stomping her feet & insisting on exactly her favored outcome. She says, over & over & OVER again, "I'm not telling anyone what to think or what to want." She just wants people going into this eyes wide open, aware of the ...

They know the one thing you can take to the bank is that if Trump’s lips are moving, he’s lying.

Last night

did an IG Live re: the current moment. Whether you agree w/ her or not (or can’t share b/c of your job like me!), the way she talks about this moment + its stakes should be required viewing. If you don’t have 50 minutes to spare, here’s a summary:
