AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.
Yeah, she's definitely getting put on a list and deported...
How come more of our elected officials are not joining them?
And where any person can study at any university/college free of tuition fees and bias if household income is under $80,000 per annum.
The free of bias be without income bracket conditions. Hahaha. English is my second language, obviously.
Harvard, Darrmouth, others.
I want to live in an America where journalistic truth is valued. I want to live in an America where a helping hand up is the norm. I want to live in an America where judges and the law grow to help all people live towards a more perfect union
We all pay taxes for things we don’t support… I hate that my taxes went to fund genocide, to overfund the department of defense, to fund roads that I never drive on. I’d rather it go directly back to our people, our schools, and our communities. It evens out. It’s a compromise. GROW THE FUCK UP.
Meanwhile, the rich get tax cuts and contribute to none of those things. I think we can all agree we can get rid of the tax loopholes and tax cuts for the rich so we can afford nice things for *everyone* again.
we need to get rid of the IRS completely
Alright. What other funding sources do you think we should use for things like USDA, FDA, CDC, etc? You know, the stuff that was recently cut allowing tuberculosis, measles, and dysentery to start running rampant, and the things that would have prevented the H1N5 bird flu from becoming an epidemic?
Look up the National War Tax Resistance. I used it this year
....ok? What does this have to do with growing up. Do you mean we should catch up with the rest of the modern world? 🤣
You’re absolutely right about that 👍
I was there, she was fantastic! The energy we need to meet this moment!
I want an America that is free of fascism completely along with what she said
Go @aoc.bsky.social! Thank you for fighting for us!
She really is becoming the Lantern of Liberty 🗽
Damn she’s good!!! We’re starved for inspiration, this is her moment💃🏻
Have you noticed it's only women standing up in America? In a country of Chuck Schumers be an AOC.
It's not only women and MTG and LB and all the MAGAt women like Pam Bondi etc. remind me everyday that there are--though fewer than men-- evil, disgusting women.
And @sanders.senate.gov and @repcasar.bsky.social and @algreen.house.gov and @ericswalwell.bsky.social and @maxwellfrost.bsky.social
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is doing a standup job too.
Or Rep Crockett or Rep Raskin 🌺
Same
This timely message will resonate even with republicans!
Put the words "do not" after the "I" and you get the republican philosophy down to a "T"
It’s good to have wishes & dreams…
Yes, it’s not about conservative vs liberal nor Republican vs Democrats. It’s all about parasites class vs American people!
I want a USA that is progressive, innovative, valued education, and forward thinking. Not one trying to go back to the 1930s oppression, segregation, no women’s rights!
Any large movement to remove him would be met with force- he’s used it before by calling his gang of red necks to try and overthrow legitimate elections results.
That's going to happen at the end of his term anyway. Better to have it before he's spent four years beating the country into the shape he wants it.
This shouldn’t be a controversial take!!
I'm sorry, you can't have basic human rights because we have billionaires we need to feed!!!
😂🤣
He who dies with the most Billions* wins! *soon to be Trillions
need to feed those billionaires to some gators.
Now there's an idea to get behind. Send in the gators!
Definitely, could sneak some in their jets when they come to florida. Midflight snack!
Put up some cameras, this'll be very popular.
I'll pay per view that bitch lol... take my money!
Yup. And any day now, I’m gonna be one of those billionaires. I can feel it, sitting here on my phone talking on social media. It’s gonna happen, and when it does, I will *deserve* all those tax cuts and loopholes.
Oof!
So radical 🙄
I'd like to see @aoc.bsky.social and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on a presidential ticket in 2028. They speak truth to power and in plain terms that appeal to the majority of Americans.
Fate presto, Trump ci porta alla guerra mondiale ....
She cute. Right on the money here too....
One day, I am pretty sure AOC will be POTUS.
I actually don't see it. SIGNIFICANT changes to the inherent misogyny and racism of the people of this country would need to happen first... and that would need a concerted and persistent effort over DECADES to make happen. The American left especially doesn't do concerted OR persistent very well.
AOC has a gift! I really hope that you are wrong. Though, misogyny and racism are certainly prevalent in the USA. I think AOC would be a wonderful POTUS for normal folks like you and me. Remember Barack Obama beat the racist. It just takes the right person to break through.
Barack Obama had the uncanny union of rhetorical gift and lack of political career that allowed a large chunk of people to project their own wishes onto him. (Trump has this ability for his voters, fwiw.) It didn't last, as we can see. Now even a large chunk of the left curses his name.
What large chunk of the left? The difference with Obama and the left vs. Trump and the right is that those of the left were still willing to voice their differences of opinion with Obama, and call him out when they disagreed. That said I'm pretty certain Obama would win running for POTUS if he could
Definitely President Obama would have won a 3rd term if he were allowed to run.
I see a ton of "Obama was a centrist traitor" in progressive and leftist circles. By no means a majority sentiment, but it's a sizable minority.
Many of them, "on the left", just think President Obama didn't go far enough.
Yes, and it highlights the problem on the American political left. You have two sides of increasingly equal strength that get FAR too up in their feelings when things don't go EXACTLY how they demand. The centrists were notorious for this, and the progressive left is starting to match that ire.
Mitch McConnel voiced, the GOP's ONLY JOB, was to harrass and oppose the only Black President of the USA! NOT to help everyday Americans! NOT to help run the country, but TO OPPOSE THE BLACK MAN IN THE PRESIDENCY! THAT WAS IT! IN THE USA, one of the MOST RACIST countries in the WORLD!
See!!!! Leadership!!!! Where are the other Democrat Senators, Congresspeople, Governors? 1. This shows we’re not alone. 2. This shows we have unity. 3. This shows we’re mad as hell and we will stand up against dictators, bullies, con artists, crooks, liars and Oligarchs.
well they need to do more than show up to political rallies
Yes we do. But a show of force sets the ball rolling. I’m taking sharp shooting classes, hand to hand combat training, survival skill training, drone lessons and learning to speak Canadian.
I agree but what do you mean Canadian? They speak English and French.
Sarcasm?
Exactly👍
I want to live in an America where ppl show up to vote instead of lying about why they don’t support the best candidates.
She's badass. Even my 78 year old mother who voted against Bernie, thinks she is the most powerful voice for the Democrats. She also said she would vote for Bernie in a heartbeat this time.
She copied all that from Jill Stein's campaign almost word for word. The Dems weren't interested in things like that during the campaign. It was promoting the other than the working class and her saying she was going to continue Biden's policy on Gaza. Don't forget, "I'm Speaking now".
meanwhile chuck schumer is just waiting. These should be taking place every night. Go away chuck.
Yeah! Write your resignation from Senate Leadership, Chuck.
THIS is what we need to survive Trump's tyranny. youtu.be/i9If_4f_604
Seeing Bernie and her today in Greeley Colorado. Can’t wait
Now, Followed! Fair play Mr. Jones! 💪
If there is any sense left in the world this woman should be the next president of the USA if she is or some day will be then there’s hope for the future ! She’s standing up and fighting for everyone , while most sit on their hands !
So do I but I have no faith that I will ever see that again or at all
💯
I will vote for her if she runs for Senate and/or POTUS.
This should be basic stuff yet she gets painted as a radical. I don't get it. Way to go, AOC! Keep speaking the truth.
Let her be "radical" and I will join her. 😁
we need to bring back the 90s definition of radical it's rad to be radical, dudes
Well behaved women rarely make history. But here’s the thing, most of the women that were “misbehaving” were just being human. Those morons that call her radical, are just trying to keep her down, because she’s a woman. WE CAN DO THINGS WITHOUT A PENIS! 💪
Especially a "Small Mushroom Penis"! And all the other "Big Dick-Heads" in the GOP!
Only radicals call her a radical. Right wing extremism is clearly the real problem.
"What does that mean?" Anytime anyone talks about "leftist radicals" and the "far left"...what does that mean? I've talked to center and far right people and that question always shorts them out.
Beats me. I don't know either.
I don't think any more, can she be painted as a radical. Too many Americans are being hurt by these creeps and are shifting. I think we should welcome MAGAs into "the left" because we're all in this together: we ALL need health care, ALL need education...and now they are REALLY seeing this.
Is that to much to ask for?
Democrats have prioritized the billionaire parasite employer class for decades. The pain this caused drove workers to seek relief in the con man Trump. Obama & Biden gave us Trump by sabotaging Bernie Sanders. We have 2 parties that help the rich, media owned by the rich, war profits for the 1%.
Billionaires are the problem. They bought the politicians, judges and media. Note that only 5 or 6 democrats are willing to openly defy the billionaires. These are the ones we need to support most.
And when you realise it's not just in US but UK and other developed countries too, the realisation you come to is that the problem is and always has been capitalism.
Exactly
TRUFF
Ten billion % this this ALLLL of this. Have we finally reached the tipping point where Dems will pivot to the PEOPLE? Or will they keep clawing at their own wealth accumulation while trying to keep the mask of “I will fight for you” in place? AOC is talking a good game, but ACTION >words
I would vote for her for president. She's got heart❣️ She's got FIRE 🔥 She has EMPATHY.. the largest part of love.
So did Kamala
And I voted for her! I think if she'd had more time, maybe she would have been voted in. But, looks like a lot of people are going to have to suffer for them to see the light.
Unfortunately, the USA is AGAINST VOTING FOR A WOMAN, ESPECIALLY A WOMAN OF COLOUR! JUST ASK KAMALA!
Yes, so I guess we'll have to focus on the best man for the presidency next time. Don't want any votes to be wasted because of misogyny and prejudice.
Exactly right. Even though, in the last few decades it has been women who poured themselves into study and diligence in learning and understanding.
Een land wat zegt rijk te zijn en deze mensenrechten schendt is niet rijk maar straatarm. Helaas is deze tendens met de Nederlandse regering precies hetzelfde. Barbaars.
From her lips to G_D’s ear!
Amen
You won't want to come to Australia then, because if the polls can be believed we are about to elect a party with the same dreadful policies as Trump's, except our version of Elon is Gina Rinehart, a mining tycoon.
Not according to Crikey News. Dutton has tied himself to the Trump star. Aussies see Trump is making a mess of America. They don't want the misogynistic racist anti veteran & anti disabled shit Trump is shoveling.
Not if we think before voting, don’t want Dutton the sycophantic toady and his master Gina in charge
Bogans vote?
We must fight against an ordinary and disastrous government. #lnpneveragain #Auspol
What are you going to do?
What I did for the last few elections and the referendum. Volunteer, donate, cold call, write letters, market booths, march, talk to locals, mail box drops. Be the change you want to see.
Good on you.
Thanks. I can't bitch on social media and then not do anything. Anyone who wants change should step forward. TBH, it was really difficult because I'm introverted. And I forgot the crazy corflute waving sessions 😂😂😂
A lot of people do.
I'd encourage anyone who wants to add to change or support good candidates to do the same. It's invigorating and more rewarding than being cranky online.
Indeed.
What polls? The Murdoch ones?
Australia has a great voting system
6 months ago I would have agreed. However I feel the tide has turned. Not sure Labor will win a majority, but i now believe they will win enough to form government with teals.
We can do it. We can stop Dutton. We must.
Mullett Arena, Tempe. Filled to its capacity of 5000. And 1000 more people were still outside wanting to get in.
I want to live in a country that fires Congress and Senate types that trade on the stock market with insider info . #greedy
Not just norm. Make it law. And make it apply all the way to the supreme court and executive. Oh. And undo Citizens United while we're at it.
I want to live in an America where the wealthiest are taxed at plus 70 percent The military reduced by 25 percent And all corporate welfare queens and churches are taxed For the sake of this nation
It's time.
AOC for president in 2028!
I used to feel lucky I didn't live a country like this.
Exactly!
I want to live in an America that will give me back the $200,000 they have taken out of my paycheck during my career and put into social security.
fight for everyone
Me too
Sorry. I don't understand. You don't want to pay taxes to support others? I don't mean to be judgey. Would like to learn.
I’m talking about the money taken out specifically for social security. I had 30% taken out in taxes and have no problem with that. It’s the money taken out for something I may not get back when I can retire.
Thank you. Learning opportunity for me. So you will not get a pension when you retire? I have been taxed between 20-33% over my working life, but (unless the rules change here), I will still get a pension and mostly free health care. Is that not you will have?
U.S. govt takes money automatically out of our paychecks for social security (US pension) & Medicare (health insurance for old folks) According to my records they have taken out $200K in social security and about $64K in Medicare. The current admin wants to shut this all down and we get nothing
Fair enough.
We don't really have very many people with pensions in the US anymore. They use investment accounts for retirement here which is exactly as bad as it sounds.
Thanks, Sophia. We have compulsory superannuation and then pensions if required. Not perfect, and we have cost of living and housing crises currently, as does much of the developed world. Appreciate your reply and helping me understand.
And pensions are the same every check I received my pension was deducted for 30yrs
You should read the whole thing before you butt in the conversation I’ve worked for 30 years I’m retired I’ve already PAID into the system since I was 15years old KAREN 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ you can’t tax Social Security twice
Please read the whole thread from 3 days ago, where I was trying to understand the US tax system. Kine people replied to help me learn how things are. I get that you are angry but I'm not the one you should be cranky with.
Had no idea you weren’t Americans! Lucky You ! I’m Sorry 🙏🏾
All good. Very concerned for the good people of the USA.
Retire, collect Social Security, and live 10 years.
Their concerns are that the payout may stop without returning the paid in funds to people, as the current administration is threatening to just shut it down and likely disappear those funds.
Trump GOP 2018 tax scam and PPP grift is responsible for ⅓ of the current deficit so don't look to them
This is what American citizens can expect from the Venezuelan prison system. time.com/7269604/el-s...
I want to live in America that stands up to the rule of law laid out by the US Constitution
I’m with AOC!!! Who’s with me!?!?
Me too!
AOC for president! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Believe me- it makes for a beautiful life 🇨🇦
It does indeed
Weird. I love this stuff just as much as I did every day leading up to the election we just had when more voters voted for fascism than this stuff.
people vote against themselves because they don't understand it's against them. because they didn't understand that USAID or those institutions helped them too. They believed the lies, some of them then it happens, some of them don't. But yeah
Many people don't look at things deeply and lack analytical thinking. Instead of questioning their thoughts, they get stuck in predetermined patterns and make shallow decisions. As a result, their choices follow a primitive 'all or nothing' approach.
Did they? Harris was cheated out of 3,650,000 votes by these Jim Crow tricks. 4.7 million voters purged. 3.2 million registrations rejected. 2.1 million mail-in ballots tossed. See Greg Palast's documentary "Vigilantes Inc" which is free on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Xd...
Maybe I'm reading those 3 lines wrong, but those add up to 9.8m. If KH lost 3.6m as a result, the extrapolation is that the remaining 6.2m votes were against her anyway. Not (ever) taking the Trump side, just questioning the maths.
The first two numbers wouldn’t have been able to actually vote at all so it doesn’t make sense to add them up.
Racial gerrymandering and voter suppression needs to be stopped. It needs to be exposed.
Then there is this... 2024 Election Fraud Concerns | Election Truth Alliance | The Mark Thompson Show www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdg5...
And yet, MAGAtts accuse US of cheating in 2020. I tell ya, the GOP learned well from 'ol Adolph's favorite mouthpiece...
Ain't that the truth.
Well, They are Definitely the party of Projection.
Do you really think that’s what happened? Not that I “know something”, but common sense leads to awkward thoughts…
Nobody was talking about this stuff then
We outnumber them . . . by a lot ! By “we” I mean the truly good people, decent folks who want to do the right thing. Starting with respecting our neighbors and fellow travelers here on this earth.
Don't forget that the election was suppressed deliberately. The VRA was wrecked. Polling sites were eliminated selectively. GOP voters were baited with money. Dem voters were threatened with bombs. Only the voters who were allowed to vote voted for fascism.
This is an insightful post. It's a majority white young males that voted for Frump and Pusk though because they were being ignored by feminists and Democrats. And if they're MAGATs as well, then they would definitely hate AOC and Bernie and be driven more to hate the Democrats with these rallies.
The GOP cheated. They didn't win the election. They purged voters, they suppressed votes through gerrymandering and ID laws, and then they manipulated the tabulation machines.
Yes! Harris was cheated out of 3,650,000 votes by these Jim Crow tricks. 4.7 million voters purged. 3.2 million registrations rejected. 2.1 million mail-in ballots tossed. See Greg Palast's documentary "Vigilantes Inc" which is free on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Xd...
RepugliKKKans are very talented at scaring dumb white America with racist crap - they’ve done it for decades
The billionaires own the media, so they can blast them with fear every day. AOC may be able to change this because she is getting started early and because she creates interest by speaking the truth. If people start looking her way, some will stay.
The billionaires know that their candidates can win with 1-2% margins, and pour all their money into just targeting the voters that make up that margin. They also have help from other self-interested foreign billionaires. None of these oligarchs want an empowered citizenry, anywhere.
I should add they also pour money into voter suppression laws in every state and targeting liberals with propaganda to stay home.
Actually it was because Dems/liberals stayed home. More of us voted in 2020 than in 2024. We can all thank the “uncommitted”and “abandon Harris” movement wtop.com/elections/20...
Racist BS! Harris was cheated out of 3,650,000 votes by these Jim Crow tricks. 4.7 million voters purged. 3.2 million registrations rejected. 2.1 million mail-in ballots tossed. See Greg Palast's documentary "Vigilantes Inc" which is free on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Xd...
Also. I will watch the video. Thank you for sharing! For payment, here is a picture of a mini donkey meeting my horse. I hope it makes you laugh like I did. ✌️
Once you are done with "Vigliantes Inc" and you spend time with your mini donkey you might look at 2024 Election Fraud Concerns | Election Truth Alliance | The Mark Thompson Show www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdg5...
I am laughing! That is so terribly cute. What a mini donkey! So gorgeous! You have a horse as well! Wow!
Did you read the article? I know about the shit system we have but Dems stayed home vs in 2020 under the same system Don’t you remember the “uncommitted” and “abandon Harris” movement? Don’t be mad at me for pointing it out. I fear with the shit Dem leadership we are going down the same path
I read the article and the 2024 Election Fraud Concerns by the Election Truth Alliance shows that Harris actually did better than Biden. You are totally right about the shit Democratic Leadership. 100% They will lose again. However you might find the voter suppression & manipulation of interest.
Is it easier to be Islamophobic rather than look at how new data on potential vote tabulation machine manipulation? 2024 Election Fraud Concerns | Election Truth Alliance | The Mark Thompson Show www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdg5...
You are using a fucked up tactic to put people on the defensive instead of dealing with the real issue. It’s was a stupid movement and I’m pissed and now they want MY sympathy? Nope. FAFO. So stop calling people Islamophobic because they call out the movement as stupid and the fact that it worked
You are presuming all Muslims voted the same and are a monolith. You are ignoring all the Muslims that voted the same as you and campaigned for Harris. Yes to say all Muslims are the same is Islamphobia.
Having said all of that, I don’t don’t see how pointing out their “abandon Harris” movement (which WORKED because people abandoned Harris) is Islamophobia. That’s BS. Their movement worked and now I’m being called Islamophobia because it fukin WORKED and I’m pissed they were so fukin STUPID?
You are missing the point. Ilhan Omar and many Muslims voted for Harris. Omar campaigned for Harris. You are making accusations & attacking folks who are not only on your side but also voted exactly you did.
So I guess you can say I’m prejudice against ALL religions and I am perfectly ok with that! But you CAN’T say I hate one more than the others!! I hate them EQUALLY!! IDGAF if someone says I’m prejudice against religion because they are correct and I will NOT change my belief on that. I hate them ALL
So where are your posts about religions other than Muslims? 55% of white women voted for Trump, where are your posts about them?
I believe religions are a cult - every single one of them!! Whether it’s Christianity or Islam they are fukin villainous and have killed more people on this planet with their stupid holy wars that mean NOTHING except to kill each other.
The holy wars are stupid, mind numbing and heartbreaking.
I don’t believe I’m Islamophobic just because I’m pointing out that the movement affected turnout. That was their stated goal so how is that Islamophobia? Also I hate ALL religions. I think they are a scourge and should be eradicated!!
Are you calling out voter suppression & racial gerrymandering? Harris cheated out of 3,650,000 votes by these Jim Crow tricks 4.7 million voters purged. 3.2 million registrations rejected. 2.1 million mail-in ballots tossed. tinyurl.com/28futdwr
The worst mistake did the conservatives in GOP since 2016, that they didn't resist Fascism, but allied with them. With this step they lost GOP to fascism. In Germany conservatives have learned and prefer to work with democratic socialists than do this mistake again.
They never would resist, they're the collaborators. Same thing happens in every fascist timeline, the conservatives invite the fascists to share power, then get consumed.
The US conservatives never did this experience. But Europe's did. They understood the threat of fascism and nationalism to democracy.
Well, now you're getting this experience. lol The Paul Ryans and Rand Pauls of the world invited Trump to share power and now you're in Germany 1938.
In Munich Vance criticized German conservatives that they didn't collaborate with the right-wing party that admires Trump. Also Musk supports German fascists, but no party is going to do the mistake again.
Really? It doesn't matter how many people voted for the Democrat when the Republican guy had his Starlink buddy change the votes.
Ok. If he did and if the “uncommitted” and “abandon Harris” movement made no difference, and the 🍊 💩 cheated then aren’t they going to do it again in 2026/2028?
Yep. You heard him say that people wouldn't have to vote anymore. He has no intention of ever leaving office.
😩 I was really hoping I was wrong & you had a solution 😊 I guess the only solution is to protest. BTW your kitties on your thumbnail are adorable 🥰
They're for anger management.
That’s such a great way to put it!! I have my own “therapist” I see everyday ✌️
Look at the pinned post on my profile.
Weird. ok.
What's not to love.
The 2024 election was rigged - thanks to F’Elon and 🇷🇺 youtu.be/AWSWqn7UHYM
What you mean is you want to live in Australia.
👍👍👍👍👍
I want to live in an Australia that has an AOC in it!! Fancy moving?
I want to live in an America lead by people like AOC.
I love her and I’m glad we are picking our heads up and filling stadiums. And saying these things again.. I recall Kamala Harris saying to packed stadiums too. Maybe people will realize what they lost by not voting.
If AOC hopes to one day be President of these here states, she better be ready to go to war. These fuckers aren't leaving unless they're physically removed.
Never a truer statement. J6 last time was practice. This time they will be organized and armed.
She, Bernie even though he’s independent, Warren, Gov Waltz those are our leaders !!!!!

Bernie and AOC are a dynamic duo! Their rally lifted my spirits!
you have a better chance of those wants in Canada than here. As long as Trump continues his dismantling destruction of America, you'll end up deported if you continue to say those things out loud!
She should be the leader of our party. She's 🔥 and that's exactly what we need right now. Just saw Adam Schiff namby pandy around on Kimmel. I don't have time for that shit.
Sounds like you want to join Canada!! We have all those 'perks' and enjoy them each and every day. And we'd be honored to join America... not fucking likely!
I think Canada absorbing the US would better our lives. But at the same time, this country is a theme park...
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Me too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love her! Why is it so hard for Dem leader to all be out there right now. They need to be this loud & proud every chance they get like they're campaigning.. bc at this point.. they are! And so far the only people I see worth a vote is @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov & @repjasmine.bsky.social
Because many need impeached and removed. We must pursue the 25th amendment
Schumer, Schiff, Garland, Fetterman, Collins... who else?
Yeah, I wouldn't go after Schiff.. he has been very vocal and clear about the dangers we're facing. And informing everyone of the lies and law breaking on the right
Schiff is fighting the good fight this week. He was one of the first to come out against Schumer.
Wherein AOC does what every Democrat should do: Say what you're for. Say what you're for. Say what you're for.
The first younger person to openly oppose billionaires can easily win a presidential race. Everyone is beginning to understand that billionaires are the problem. AOC is out front leading. You will see others jump on the anti- billionaires bandwagon when they see her success.
So much respect and gratitude for you, AOC!
The America she wants already exists. We call it Canada.
👏👏👏👏👏 yes please
Awesome speech by @aoc.bsky.social ✨💪✨💖
What they're doing is unconscionable.
I agree with you!!!!!!
✊️
Heck, I fear getting in a Tesla via an Uber and finding myself disposed of or deported, no—trafficked, by this regime.
bsky.app/profile/cady...
@papst-ny.bsky.social
So it sounds like you want to live in Canada. 🇨🇦
Correct.
Free speech except for Nazis. That shit needs to be banned for good.
Nazi’s are Nazi’s.
It is sad that you can actually think that about half the population of the US because their political beliefs are different than yours.
I hate all trump supporters because they love the fucking US flag more than the Americans that make up this country. #TrumpIsAmericasHitler
That is the dumbest statement I have heard all day. You hate people on because of a political difference . Talk about generalizations
Sorry to disappoint you sir. I just hate all the people that support a group of terriost that busted into Our House on January 6th 2021 and destroyed Our property because they did not like the outcome of a fair election! #January6thWasATerriostAttack
More like 1/3rd, but we’re seeing a lot of it worldwide. Nazi’s are scum, fascists are scum. Period. You’re either for the betterment of humanity for all, or you’re not.
The betterment of humanity . Hilarious . Over the millenia millions have been killed "for the betterment of humanity". From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs right? wow. you are so noble and kind.
Nonsense. That's not why we think they're Nazis. We think they're Nazis because they keep saying and doing Nazi shit.
I think the pro-palestine protesters act like Nazis. From the river to the sea, right?
Fuck off. That's not even remotely the same thing. Israel wants to exterminate the Palestinians, the Palestinians want to have a country of their own again where they don't get randomly murdered. Yes, Hamas are monsters, but Israel are just as bad and have a lot more stuff to do evil with.
"From the river to the sea" literally means the extermination of all Jewish Israelites.
Wrong yet again. The Palestinians had many opportunities to have their own state. Instead of trying to build a civilization, they concentrate on killing the jews.
You fuck off douche. I just gave you an example of nazi like behavior. You just call everything that you don't agree with nazi. You need to wake the fuck up
examples please
I also would like to live in regular America with less days of unprecedented horrors again.
The real party of the people are represented by two, AOC & Bernie, but they are louder and more committed than the rest of the Democratic Party combined.
@aoc.bsky.social is on fire.
Why y'all so gullible? How long has Democrats been dangling that healthcare carrot on a stick. It's never going to happen bc the Democrats serve oligarchy too.
AOC going to run in 2028?
Unfortunately, the dems would rather saw off their own foot than nominate someone who is not gen x or a boomer. So, if she does run, she would likely have to run in opposition to her own party because even the dems think she's a "radical leftist" for not prioritizing capitalist interests.
don't give up yet. NO 3rd Party. It won't work. If we take back our Party, we can win.
Even if AOC runs and wins, the democrats are going to fuck any ability she might have to change anything. And they've been so far up their own asses that they refuse to ever accept responsibility for their own failures. So, instead of changing, they just attack the people who expect them to.
I mean, ffs, we are at the point now where they have got people CONVINCED that the reason they lost was because people opposed genocide, but not theirs for enabling and funding it with tax payer dollars against the wishes of the people. That is an insane level of cognitive dissonance to break thru.
I hear you but I am not willing to give up and 3rd party will never work. That is why Bernie didn't try 3rd Party. It just doesn't work here and we have wasted so much time on it. If we take over local parties, we can change the party. I'm not saying it's easy but that is where my efforts lie
I could easily see a Walz/AOC ticket winning.
AOC! AOC! AOC!
She got attitude ❤
In most other countries, none of that is considered remarkable.
Just par for the course. Crazy how it’s a pipe dream for the wealthiest country on earth.
Only wealthiest for some. There’s many struggling to get to the next paycheck. There’s many choosing food over rent. Or rent over utilities. We see children go hungry, here, too. Benefits are a joke, and there’s so many stipulations. The unhoused is a crisis, nobody wants to solve.
Constructions of "freedom" on steroids, very crazy!
that’s exactly why it’s a pipe dream. belly of the beast
i say this in full support of pipe dreams, especially given the war on drugs was never in good faith and a massive failure anyways. this might be the most advantageous time for pipe dreams
Beats actual nightmares like we are living through now
#HandsOFF 🚫 #TaxTheRich #FightOligarchy #PowerToThePeople #LasVegas #Arizona #Bernie #AOC #DeportElonToMars #DeportMusk #NOKings
I was ready to vote her for POTUS the first time I heard her speak. She has the IT factor to be a POTUS. The command of language to make her point and the sass to scare the ever loving shit out of any leader. And she won't send our kids to foreign soil for oil and profit.
It’s bonkers that people see these as “radical” ideas. Bohdi surfing a 200 ft wave off the coast of Australia is radical, AOC’s ideas are just good policies that benefit everyone.
She sounding and looking very Presidential with resounding support from DNC and GOP dare I say the messaging is reaching all, resounding with all, resonating with all.
It's how FDR won the presidency in 32. "Roosevelt united the party, campaigning on the failures of the Hoover administration. He promised recovery with a "New Deal" for the American people." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1932_Un... The nation flipped hard from red to blue bc of how poorly Hoover did.
Free speech is on the way out!
AOC for president!!!
She should announce her campaign for president
Can't understand why ppl prefer corporate oligarchy over socialism: do you really love billionaires making money on your work so hard to give up your healthcare for the sake of letting them pay less taxes than you?
It's because they are operating off of a different set of moral rules. In their world, hierarchy is God ordained, and truth is determined by conviction. They aren't confused. They aren't brainwashed. They are fascists.
They don't, they just think they do because of all the propaganda paid for by corporate billionaires. There's only a teensy minority of anarcho-capitalists loons who genuinely want pure 'everyone for themselves'. Most people think they are doing the right thing, that they're not the baddies.
Fox News ect.
100% but not just that. Every republican influencer, every shill is following the money of 'if I use these keywords people will throw money at me'. Lefties MUST do the same. See what the AOC/Bernie messaging is, and reflect it a million times. Not to make money, but because it's how you win.
"Lock her up" can turn into "lock him up". "Build the wall" can turn into "free healthcare for all". They have demonstrated that it works.
It's the other side's job to propagandise better, grassroots propaganda (rallies, ads, outreach) etc. to shut the message down. AOC and Bernie are doing great I think, but it's all the other ones who should be doing the same, and forget about toadying to the fascists. Simple messaging works.
I love this woman. Her strength and knowledge is awe-inspiring.
To AOC: That sounds like you want to live in Canada!😀
If AOC was born in the 40's, she would have been a founding member of the NDP, helping Tommy Douglas fight for Universal Health Care in Canada.
That's how our country could be "Great"
Heck of a rally!!
Kushner is too busy counting his ill-gotten gains to respond to you.
Yet Trump & his apostles seem to think 🇨🇦 Canadians would be clamouring to join USA as 51st state. Delusional, arrogant America.
I told you AOC should run for president!
Protest at work too ! youtu.be/lQuvNkqGLCw?...
I want to live in an America where personal accountability and responsibility are paramount. An America where if anyone misrepresents themselves on a visa application, they will be deported.
Like musk
I want to live in an America where we legislate RESPONSIBILITY instead of choice.
I would fight for this woman.
I don’t want to live in an America where hate speech, belittling other’s and being rude becomes the norm. And our children are taught manners . And they won’t be left with an earth that’s been destroyed and a debt that’s insurmountable.
Love that existence.
She tells the truth what she says is what she feels. You can count on her to bring it she fights constantly for us. She doesn't back from a fight.
Why aren’t all the other Democratic congressional people fighting as hard as AOC is? Are they cowards or just waiting for trump and his evil partner musk, to totally destroy our democracy?
They benefit from a plutocracy.
I want to live an America again where the president is not trying to be a dictator
That's never going to happen you retards.
Sounds like she wants to live in Canada.
That is never going to happen with the current 50 state makeup.
Or primaried by an alien, who became a billionaire off the US taxpayer.
Wow what a powerful speech message. So true what this young lady said of America everyone should have right too amen on that
Sorry, no can do. It's trickle up economy.
This shouldn't be controversial. From: www.cnn.com/travel/world...
Apparently AOC wants to live in 🇨🇦. (Honestly, No disrespect to her, I like her, I just couldn’t help myself)
Very Canadian 🇨🇦
she probably wouldn’t mind if we became the eighth province of Canada 🇨🇦 like me. It sounds better at the moment.
She will have to move to Europe.
These sweet statements are the same crap as the statements of a #Trump or a #maga. Wake up #Americans. Populism destroys you.
Basic rights, which include healthcare accessibility along with fair pay and absolute freedom to speak, should be available to every individual.
Please just no nazis.
OMG, she is so radical. 🙄
migratw to Canada, is also America, as mexico, Brazil, Argentina, colombia......
I'm so happy to see her out there, speaking up for all of us. I very much look forward to watching where she goes in the next year.
The next president perhaps? She can undo whatever damage Trump and JD Vance do in the next 4 yrs.
It will take DECADES, perhaps LIFETIMES, to undo the damage this regime has already done … let alone what they will continue to do. First we need to end their rule. Only then can we begin to repair the damage.
True. It's so difficult to believe that this is happening to America. It didn't seem possible. 😕
Awww that's cute that you think he's leaving in 4 years. He's not going to go peacefully.
He didn't go peacefully the first time either. You can only be elected if people vote for you. Maybe Americans will have a better understanding of what they voted for when that election comes around..that is of course, he doesn't manage to get us all nuked.
I have no confidence in any election moving forward without a revolution beforehand. The Democrats are not an opposition party, and we have been taken over by far right narcissistic extremists.
It certainly looks like that to the rest of the world. It's extremely worrying.
The ONLY people it doesn't look that way to are US Conservatives who are still in the cult. I cannot make people give a damn though. They're bamboozled, and will likely stay that way.
That anyone thinks there will be another fair election in America ever again, without some huge revolution, is the 'cutest'.
I would like to end his presidency early.
I asked that you be practical. I asked that you listen to those who had more DC experience. I asked that you wait for your time. You did all those things. Now I ask you to inspire. Now I ask you to lead. This is your time. Go for it. Be safe. Godspeed.
Want to live there too.
Yes! We must fight to make those happen
She’s painting a picture rather than talking at people… see where I’m going with this? She’s a great communicator speaking with a nation that longs for authenticity and truth. Dems, pay attention!
This is why they hate her. Both the Dem leadership and the GOP. She represents the American values that the majority want to see in their leaders. And she knows how to communicate it to the crowd.
Well, the Dems better get their shit together and get over themselves. I’ve been a Dem my entire life, and I’m more than a little disappointed in the lack of leadership on these urgent matters. She is a force for good and I admire her so much. I hope she shakes people awake!
Well—what AOC describes would be a non-fascist & non-oligarchy country. Here’s the thing; I know how you feel, AOC. I used to live in a fascist regime long ago. Came to U.S. & have enjoyed freedom many years until now. But even writing these words, I feel fear, again! And that’s where America is at.
Doesn't sound that radical. Kinda sounds like common sense. Not my words hers...I was there. She was great. More like her please.
Hey! That’s 🇬🇧 Well it was until we got a labour government.
Wow, that is quite a reach....
Oh dear Charles! Anyone would think you haven’t looked at reform’s policies.
Well whoever “anyone” is, they’re wrong.
So reform guarantees healthcare to everyone, does it …. Err, no.
Charles. You’ve gone quiet. You were about to tell us all that you’ve read the reform policies and they guarantee healthcare to everyone, you know, with no insurance, free at the point of need.
Oh I'm sure Charles has. It's only that he is so dumb like any other MAGA that believed in populist. Reform is made of practically demagogues, un skilled and ill prepare to govern the 🇬🇧. Sort of Tory's Truss only that 10X worse
It’s just possible you’re being unfair to truss. You don’t hear that every day! I wouldn’t put most of reform in charge of a vending machine, let alone government, health, education … defence!
You think that Reform will be anything other than a Trump tribute act? They will destroy our healthcare system, gut the welfare state, do exactly the same kinda of legal warfare against speech they don't like.
she’s amazing. and she has it right. Not only is SS a promise we made to each other, but our entire system of government and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence are all promises WE made to EACH OTHER. It’s our government. Musk is vandalizing OUR government.
I want to live in an America that guarantees income AND healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America where we all get to choose the work that's best for us, paid or unpaid, instead of having to take whatever job we can find to not starve. I want to live in an America that's truly free.
She ain't wrong.
Raise the US minimum wage in laws to at least $25 an hour for everyone working!
Those are all basic rights that almost all Americans support and every democratic country except America already has….but the media will still claim it as extreme
Buttigieg/AOC 2028
She's heightening her profile, it's for a reason. A presidential or senate run seem likely.
She can’t win either.
Ya ever think the reason people say she can't win is because moderates won't vote for her? Maybe if you had our backs for once. Don't need conservatives. Don't need maga. Don't need any of the right. We need the apathetic that she fires up. And moderates have our backs.
Moderates TO* have our backs.
Never say never. Never say can't. Yes, we can! 😀
Uh Buttigieg literally isn’t on board with any of these policies
It's annoying that every time I see someone inspired by an AOC speech, they dig out a white man to put in front of her name in the presidential bid. Walz/AOC, Buttigieg/AOC, Dembillionaire/AOC. 😮💨
Super annoying, but necessary. America is not ready to elect a woman as president. Waaaayyy too much misogyny going on still. I’m hopeful to see it in my lifetime, but I’m not holding my breath. 😢
I'm not 100% convinced. I see a problem with the DNC telling us which woman we can vote for. Happened with Clinton and again with Harris. I'm not saying misogyny doesn't exist. I think the Democrats internalize it as a party. AND the DNC is too committed to the way things have always been.
When the RNC tried to say Trump was a non-starter, they lost, and Trump ascended anyway. I'd love to see the same pushback on the DNC, only for good! And for @aoc.bsky.social
A gay man could never win. That's a simple fact.
Down vote 👎🏼
I don't like it either, but it's true.
I do not like it, and I also do not think it's true.
We've yet to even elect a woman. Trump won. What's that tell you about the typical voter?
You mean like here in Canada?
Or Europe.
Go, AOC Somebody with a backbone
End the Oligarchy Today!
I am very proud of this half of America right now!! Thank you to everyone who protests.
Thank you for this calendar. Even though I can't join them as they're all held out of Fl, I still appreciate knowing that there are brave and mobile people who will join these protests, wherever they are.
I would like to find a list of protests coming up in Central FL. I’m ready to fight for democracy!
Can you write a brief profile so I can decide if I could follow you?
Yes we can,learn MMT basics and stand up for ourselves
Whatever you are taking pass it over here I need a double dose then some
AOC continues to testdrive the bully pulpit for when she gets the keys to the Oval.
I am down with that.
Sounds like Canada
Sounds like you want to live in Australia. We’ll stay that way if the orange man keeps out of our business.
100%!
Three important suggestions based on years of fighting Brexit: 1. It's not enough to just fight Trump every day, you need to be SEEN to be fighting Trump every day. 2. Aim your message at the non-voters, not the MAGA voters. 3. Find a theme song. Music unites on a much deeper level than words alone.
Thank you! Wonderful suggestions 💙
Cheers, Joan. 🏳️🌈🕊
Cheers to you too, BB 🩷🩵💚🏳️🌈💙💜💛
"2. Aim your message at the non-voters, not the MAGA voters." ^^THIS^^ It's the non-voters, the non-engaged, that's the resource that needs to be tapped by the Democrats.
It’s also why we need more charisma and emotion from our candidates with one or two simple messages. The non voters will respond more to emotion than complicated and detailed policy. Shumer sets there unconcerned while Bernie, AOC and Walz are out there screaming.
Yes. Many pro-EU activists wasted years arguing points with Brexiters – only to realise they were talking to bots or those lost to a cult. It isn't about winning an argument with a MAGA-troll. It's about combatting the disinformation that's aimed at keeping non-voters docile and disengaged.
It astonishes me every cycle how Dems direct their entire campaign to winning over Republicans (who can’t be won, come on) and not trying to get non-voters or even motivate their own base; Liz Cheney was hardly helping either of those last two.
Meanwhile, the other side was specifically targeting left-leaning voters with microtargeted propaganda to demotivate them and get them to stay at home.
It blows my mind that the entire Dem agenda is popular and the GOP’s is not, yet the GOP had the skill to make Her Emails a thing but Dems aren’t even trying to get the public behind “only ghouls would cut cancer research for kids.”
Somehow it’s become a fetish among Dems that the public would rather see bipartisanship for its own sake, regardless of the substantive outcome. Do they not look around? No one ever sees Westminster-system parties falling over themselves to cooperate, and they don’t lose votes for it.
The Democratic Party hates its base and loves its big donors. It has ceased to be the party of the working class and is now the party of the investor class.
Yes @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov
I’d add to direct message to non MAGA Republicans as well. I think many of them voted for DT just because he’s a Repub. Appears a lot of them are showing up to see Bernie and AOC… encourage them ~
There is no difference between MAGA and Republicans. They are one and the same. You can tell because they are still Republicans.
Yes!!!! It’s a multiple choice test and skipping the question = a wrong answer.
I love Bernie and AOC. That should be our next Dem Presidential ticket, Bernie for President and AOC for VP. She has bigger balls than most male Dems.
Sadly Bernie will be too old. How about AOC/Nina Turner that be my dream ticket. But, since celebrities do well (Reagan, Trump) - what about... Jon Stewart/AOC Ticket!
I'd be happy to live in an America that guaranteed that we can't be imprisoned without due process.
Yeah, but we can be imprisoned with due process, be found innocent later, and still be executed. (Marcellus Williams)
AOC is old enough now to become US president - I wish she could replace the current clown in office.
Or we could do with an Orange Squeaking dog toy in stead of Trump. They come in a pig version, which is appropriate in at least two ways. My apologies. I took your comment seriously but had to use the opportunity to compare Trump to a squeaking pig.
YESSS. Finally. Run, AOC, RUN.
You are the hero we need.
Message, delivery, tone 👌
@aoc.bsky.social so brilliant.
i’m an American living in France. I now have ALL of those things. America is never going to have those things again unless everyone fights for it.
As a Canadian, we also have FREEDOMS that the US is AGAINST!
In Canada we have all those things and we do not want to become the 51st state. Canada stands for true north strong and free.
I'm here fighting for it.✊🤠🕊️
Keep on Common Sense. We can do a lot in the name of common sense.
AOC please primary Schumer. We need New Democratic leadership! You are our future.
This part.
Pretty sure that’s the America we have been begging for. Finally someone not afraid to say it.
MAGA: We hate AOC and all Liberals and everything they stand for.
Well, TBH, they hate most if not all of what is great about America, so she and the liberals are in good company. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and so on: they hate it if it applies to you.
She looking very Presidential
@aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov Tennessee needs you.
I want to live in an America where there are consequences for treason.
But treason is only illegal if it's towards the orange felon and his cult.
But isn’t your Orange head dictator committing treason ?
Yes, Captain Obvious. Thank you for buzzing in.
Agree 💯
I bet Trump and Musk are happy with the likes of her!
Can you elaborate?
I was being sarcastic, or didn’t you realise?
Sorry, no, too early here for me 😉
Emojis are always helpful to qualify & clarify statements don’t you think?! 😏🤨😉
If she doesn’t stomp him into the ground and become our next legitimate President of the United States well then I just don’t know what.
Sure, who doesn't want these things! Now, give us a workable plan to do it. Timeline, funding, etc. How ya going to do it? Inquiring minds want to know, please.
Make guys like Elon pay their fair share of taxes. He pays zero
I'm all ears; how are you going to get assholes like #Musk to pay their share? The devil IS in the details and that's what I want to hear. Saying and actually doing are 2 different things.
So maybe a Project 2028? Spell it out.
Great idea! Spell it out, write it down, tell people how it's going to get done. All sane people pretty much want the same things, operative word "sane."
Absolutely.
Raise the FICA cap, to make those who make over $176,000 per year, pay at least as much as those who make under that amount. Right now, it caps out at 176k. All taxes FICA go to SS.
Good idea! How are you going to accomplish that? Where are you going to get the votes?
Good question. POS47 would never sign a bill, even if congress passed it. Nor would his merry band of thugs in the cabinet, if their place in line advances. Sending them all to Mars? Setting up a CyberCoffin road trip, stock vehicles only? In the desert? Like a reality show. Just an idea. 😆
Capitalism is wonderful for imagination and innovation, maybe the best system there is for this. However, it doesn't repay the debt it owes to the democratic society that made the exercise of that imagination and innovation possible. Capitalism needs a social conscience.
Agreed 👍
👏
