Thank you for this. I've been vacillating between panic and despondency the past few weeks and your words gave me hope and actions I can take to help. You authentically changed my whole mindset.
Guys pass this around. It's not just Elon ripping up the government. Silicon valley billionaires are involved. Peter Thiel for example financed JD Vance. This is a very informative video. Lets make the names of these jerks who want to enslave us famous youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?...
Just letting you know that you can talk more on Blue Sky than once a day. We need some action. We need a leader. We need resistance. Neither trump nor Elon will ever give up power again...
Yes they will, because they will be forced to. We are the majority, just like AOC said. And power to the people will win in the end. It's gonna be a little rough and we have to work for it, but it's going to come.
Thank you so much for your calming and inspiring words. I needed this!
One of the most thorough, thoughtful, and useful explanations of what's happening.
So is anyone actually going to do anything? All I see is talk, no action. YOU and Congress need to do something! Federal employees are being harassed and you all do nothing. Musk will win because you all don’t care.
AOC, please look into the 50strikes in 50states and generalstrikeus "strike actions" that popped up. fishy as hell, honeypot vibes and with latest WH statement they could be false flags seeded by GOP to get violent as a cassus belli for trump to declare martial law & go hitler. extremely worried.
I totally agree with you. NO Democrat should vote to advance or vote in ANY tRump nominees. We need to stop the madness!!!

Watching this gave me hope. Thank you for this!
This really was an eye opener. Thank you.
20 year critical care nurse in Cali here. If I can help in any way..as a speaker, for my expertise, whatever..Just let me know. I am not letting this happen unchallenged
I’m curious about something and not understanding. These 4 trillion dollar tax breaks for the very wealthy took place in 2017 under Trump. So why have the Dems under Biden Admin., not caught this and tackled it before this time? Perhaps I’m unaware of how legislation works and who sees it?
I mean this matter of factly and not in an unkind way, you are unaware of how legislation works. It is not easy to change the tax code and requires a certain type of majority to do so. Dems did not have the votes.
I was wondering about that. So if they did know about this there was really nothing they could do because of how the votes are split?
Yes. What are you asking if they (you mean Dems in Congress?) knew about? They fought the change. Read here under "legislative history". Not one single Democrat voted for or supported this. As always, check the references for proof. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cut....
Very informative thank you!
Another place to read about how the biggest tax changes in over 30 years were pushed through by the Republicans with zero bipartisanship effort. A few Republicans dissented & did not vote for the tax plan for one reason or another. NO Democrat voted for this plan. www.axios.com/2018/01/05/r...
By the way it's good that you're asking questions. There are people who will get very angry and blame Dems in Congress/The White House for not doing things they were literally not able to do This is not to say that Dems don't deserve appropriate blame for many things at various points, but that
Frequently people will get online blaming the people who attempted to block bad legislation and screaming about why they didn't do something without understanding how the system works. If we don't vote in local, state & federal elections & understand how our own process works, we can easily feel
Like nothing functions, ever, when in reality we have a poor understanding of the process and who has what power at what time. There is valid blame to be had but I frequently see people upset on the internet about things Dems tried to pass or tried to stop, but if we don't vote them into office,
if we don't give them the numbers, then they will not have the votes to stop things like the the biggest transfer of wealth from the lower class to the ultra wealthy in American history. And that's the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
and also they did not want to
But they also didn't do a lot with the power they did have. Honestly Biden was a wet noodle and 'dark Brandon' was Lena Kahn, and some other key department heads in a trench coat.
Yes, I agree. They did not do nearly as much as they should have on MANY issues, and they did not move in lockstep. Believe me I have lots of criticism there. I'm just talking about this one particular thing because he asked a specifc question about it
I don't mean to contradict, I'm just really frustrated by the Dems pusillanimous display. And that's not a universal quality of Democrats, it is the quality of their leadership.
No worries I feel you
Elons DOGE cronies allegedly uploaded the treasury data to Elons AI. They're using it for... who knows what purposes.
Omg i read it as Elfon's and did a double take.
AOC! Fire Elon! FireElon.org (Pass it to your Republican colleagues 😂)
I appreciate this, and not making it about a left vs. right issue. When you look at the Watergate scandal it feels like a big joke that it was enough to remove a president compared to what's happening now. Our laws and the Constitution matter.
U kidding me? We're doing respectability politics instead of getting the cops to drag Elon Musk out of the government? He's directly violating the law, & we're doing respectability politics?? No one voted for him, & he wasn't formally appointed, but we're giving democrats a pass for doing NOTHING?
I mean yeah I don't disagree. The fact that no action is being taken aside from the protests so far makes Watergate look like a joke. This is something the whole country *should be* united on as most of us except for the billionaires are being hurt.
How can I make as much genuinely good help as you? How do you scale from starting from involvement with your local groups?
If you want to follow her EXACT footsteps, remember that AOC was a simple waitress when she first ran for Congress. If you just want to generally get more involved, consider becoming an active member of your local DSA chapter.
You give me so much hope
This was very helpful. Thank you!
I hate how attracted I am to you 🤣😂😍🌹🌹🌹
Elon Musk sent a letter to local officials asking to establish a new city in TX called "Starbase." Starbase would be a BORDER city between US and Mexico off of the Gulf of Mexico. Wait, would Trump want the "Gulf of America" as a trade route like the Panama Canal? "The Man From High Castle" vibes
If Democracy truly is dying in plain sight, then why have all of the living former presidents and vice-presidents been absolutely silent? Do they not care?
Thank you for putting this on YouTube. I deleted my Instagram account last week.
Impressive!!!!
Run for the Senate!!!
She should run for President in the next election.
This appears to be becoming the largest scandal since Watergate.
AOC, any way you could go MORE public? Say TV, on the news, write to newspapers ( any will be shocked and honored to get a letter from yo, or an article). Social media is NOT uniting the way we need. We have too many choices and face it..you are preaching to your choir. We need old-school unity!!
The Rs wouldn't have allowed a single confirmation at this date if Harris won. Schumer is an enabler. Now, he wants give up our healthcare to avoid a shutdown. The D's are destroying their clear chance in 2026. Why would people vote for people that didn't fight. They deserve to lose. We don't.
Please tell your weak leaders Schumer & Jeffries to fight or step down. Today, Schumer said he will avoid a shutdown. Why, if the only purpose of keeping it open is to torch democracy & the rule of law, and taking away healthcare? So weak, ineffective, and impotent. You are the only fighter.
Thank you for this, Alexandria! So, so needed. Resist! Fight! Win!
Yo Tried to donate to you via another social media app and it refused to complete the donation. If you want donations, you need to tweak your apps !
Thank you
AOC, I watch your video and wanted to Thank you for the wealth of information on what we can do and what is going on within the government. I will continue to fight with you!!
Thank you so much for the work you do
Thank you for talking me off the ledge 🙏🏽🩷
Here is something we can do each day bsky.app/profile/henl...
I tried now. Mailboxes are full
That must mean people are calling! Which is a good sign! You can always try local offices if you haven’t already.
I'm also emailing.
Thank you!!!’ ☺️
I am Canadian but as a human being I am terribly upset that the USA is talking about sending USA citizens to El Salvador prisons for Trump!
Are you going to the protest tomorrow?
AOC is the leader America needs. Join the Democratic Party en masse and rally behind her.
PsyOps: Now is the time to start demanding the resignation of Donald Trump, his entire cabinet, and the Republican leadership in the House. This process will take a while but going on the psychological offensive now is important. Let the Hunted become the Hunter!
The way in which she spoke about ICE here stirred up a worry I already had- that ICE will eventually be utilized more and more to intimidate, threaten, scare, and possibly detain US citizens. Am I the only one thinking about this?
Thank you so much! Your message was empowering and encouraging - a bona fide public servant. I called to voice my "No" to any of these nominees. You're right - when "the rest of us" do what we can, it adds up. We CAN flip this "takeover!" None of us voted for what's going on right now in D.C.
It’s costing us 3 cents to make one not a good idea but I like Lincoln for sure.
It's not about continuing to mint them. It's about not having them wiped out forever. Much like the moves of his administration.
AOC, will you risk arrest for us? It is a terrible request. I hate to request it. Will you be willing?
She's already risking her life and she already kinda replied to your question. She's fighting extremely dangerous people and they really don't like her because she sees right through them and has the courage and integrity to call them out.
The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear. — Garry Kasparov
Thanks, I needed this
Thank you for your service and helping tow the line when we need action.
Expecting you will be president of socialism of America
It’s time for you spineless weasels to grow a pair of balls!

In addition to calls to our Federal snd State Representatives, do Emails from the EMAIL FORM on your Representative's website get tallied? They require your name, address, zip code, and show YOU are a CONTITUENT, so aren't these counted?

Nice. Thank you. Now do something.
@aoc.bsky.social would you share which campaign training programs you think are effective? seems like the support you had as a cohort w/ BNC was important. lots of potential candidates over on www.reddit.com/r/fednews/new & would like to share trainings that have the necessary depth to to support.
Thank you!
Elon & his merry band of DIGITAL BROWNSHIRTS. We are witnessing an electronic coup. Fight back! Confront the incels. Picket their lodgings. Write "Douche" on every Tesla you see. Egg Elon. Harass Fox News employees. Shout down GOP members. Protest and, most of all, shame those who have no shame.
This was sooo informative thank you so much🥰🥰
I hope to call you Madam President some day soon.

I listened yesterday on IG, but knowing you have a YouTube channel is even better and it will reach more people. Thank you SO much, PLEASE continue these live talks...so many of us are greatly appreciate what you're doing keeping us *clearly* informed. ✨🙌🏽✨
We need to overthrow this government insanity!!!
This is more for party leadership and not you, but... Next, start talking about campaign finance reform. We have to stop putting price tags on our democracy. None of us should feel compelled to try to outbid billionaires to have a say in our government.
Thank you so much!!

Thank you thank you thank you so much please continue this the national news has been high jacked only positive trump lies propaganda we desperately need this
@aoc.bsky.social and @indivisible.org @kenmartin.bsky.social who are the Republicans that we can pressure. The ones on committees that can do something and the ones up for close reelection. Which ones are less sympathetic to trump. We need to know who to call, email, protest in front of.
YouTube > Instagram Give us just a little more direction though? If you'll actually stand up for and stand with this #Stripe millionaire, that would be something. If not, that's something too.
Please talk more about the legislation. People are upset that it seems like a pointless gesture to double-make what they're doing illegal.
❤️
How about petitions AOC? Or is it better to call? I sign over a dozen a day. I’m in Rockland. I get “Thank you for contacting my office” emails from Lawler after I sign a petition. So I know his office is receiving them. Thank you. ❤️ We love you. 💙💙

GOPs and Indys, that voted for Trump, it is still not too late to tell your elected leaders you don't like what Elon and Trump are doing. Call your reps. Remember that Grandma supported equal rights in the 60's and now her Social Security is at risk because of that protest or letter she wrote.
are the 20 lawsuits against Donald Trump personally and Elon Musk personally? If not, why not?
Just called BOTH of my Michigan senators - Peters and Slotkin - to demand NO votes on the rest of Trump's cabinet picks. And to tell them that I am very disappointed that they have voted to confirm some of them already. Unacceptable.
Thanks for putting this on Youtube. I'm boycotting IG right now.
Thank you for posting this! So many people need to see this and process what you are saying. Keep up the good fight! You give me hope for the future
We need to donate to legal funds, like the ACLU.
AOC is a powerful Terrier. Smart, feisty and very down to earth with excellent communication skills and inspiring passion, she’s a leader for now and the future.
Thank you @aoc.bsky.social for sharing all of this great detail. 💙
The democratic party needs to step up and re-start with a new message and new ideas. Let's take the publican failures and turn them into opportunities for success in the midterms. Let's be proactive and less reactive. Instead of one step behind, let's get one step ahead and stop this coup
When is your next one? This was excellent.
Dismantling USAID is wonderful news for China. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_an...
Thanks, feels good to be armed with knowledge. Fox News people have no idea what we are talking about, we need transparency.
Stop playing by the rules - they try to overwhelm you with chaos, so take it volley and give them chaos, stop to react, and act and start to declare your independence - village, city, county or state - Washington anti Trump? Declare it's independence and imprison Trump as DC became it's own state!
Thank you

Thank you, ma'am. I hope to see you in the Oval Office one day.
RUN FOR SENATE PLEASE
I live in Indiana - I can’t count on my red legislators. What can we do?
Fellow Hoosier here- I contacted them and basically said I thought we at least agreed on the sanctity of the American constitution but apparently not. Republicans supposedly love the constitution- play to their patriotic side.
The last Republican who was reasonable was Lugar. He actually hosted events regarding immigration issues - positive ones! Since then I have had no luck with any of them. And the staffers can be brutal too because they’re not elected.
Call them anyways. That way, their office will have a record of their actual constituents objecting to their actions or lack thereof. I lived in Alaska for 20 years and made LOTS of these phone calls. Some elected officials are more responsive than others, but at least the objection is noted.
GOP legislators don't have values, and they don't actually care about anything other than staying in power. They'll back whatever they think is popular. Use that against them. Enough calls against the current line of thinking will indicate that they need to flip to retain their power.
I feel your pain,...BUT I would be remiss If I didn't point out that you are replying to a post titled "What's happening and how you can take action". Watching that video would be a good place to start.
I’m trying not to rise to your sarcasm given we are not on X. I did watch it. It’s not enough.
Do you live in Indiana? I’ve been fighting the good fight here since 2006 in marches and phone campaigns and letters. Except for our local mayor we are headed by very far right Republicans - think Pence. I help those at risk and educate. After 20 yrs of no progress in sane times it’s hard to be OK
Yes. I know. I am. I was hoping elected officials would be able to do more. I can’t march anymore due to mobility but I continue to write and call. And educate. And hope.
O K. then. And don't forget to keep breathing
No other option lol
Call your county Democratic Elections office. Ask for phone numbers to your representatives. Call them telling them to vote No on allowing Trumps picks. Ask your elections offc what u can do to help!
In 2019 we took our teenage girls to see Knock down the house. Keep fighting the good fight, Canada has your back.
Says the Congresswoman who has not managed to write one bill - not one - that has passed the House let alone become law. Get a TV show or a podcast and run your mouth day in and day out - get out of Congress.
Thank you 🙏

It's time to make friends with the National Guard, the police, some generals because Musk & Trump are not paying attention to the courts. Time to arrest them as strange as that sounds.

Wondering if it makes sense to organize people to boycott paying their taxes?? Would that help or cause more chaos? Would love to hear people's thoughts.
@aoc.bsky.social You should take a look at this if you want to connect the dots on Elon's objectives. www.youtube.com/live/RKORCiV...
FROTUS, felon rapist of the US, is the lowest rated incoming president in the history of this country. He is the only incoming president with a negative approval rating. Even Bush 2nd term had a +6 rating. I believe two months of weekend mass protests could bring down the FROTUS.
So glad you brought up the cuts, because cons are still thinking they'll get to keep medicaid:
I watched this video. It is very helpful. I need to find out how to get AOC's newsletter. Many things I need to know.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Best hour and a half I've spent in quite some time. New York is proud to have you!
Very informative. Thank you Congresswoman!
Thank you very much for your video! 👏👏💙👏👏 I made a list! 😂💙
Thank you for this. Your advice to tell our congresspeople how we expect them to vote is spot on. Our new representative Janelle Bynum voted Yea on Laken Riley Act. She’s getting an earful from our family but it’s already too late. We will reach out in advance going forward.
I just spoke to my state representative. Or a worker for him. He claims that Elon Musk has no access to information like our social security and medicare. How can we prove otherwise??

Please review these bizarre NY election results and get in touch with Smart Elections immediately, thank you! bsky.app/profile/smar...
Your numbers aren’t correct. I visited the Richland County Board of Elections site. Harris 43.67%. Gillibrand 52.68%. app.enhancedvoting.com/results/publ...
I also think you and your colleagues have to call out the enablers by name, on national news, on local news, and anywhere other than Bluesky or similar audiences. Ex: Senator Kennedy is advocating illegal and unconstitutional activities. Shame his ass. Use his NAME. Ask why John Thune supports this

So thankful for you. ughhh! Doing what we're able in VT.
This is perfect, thank you! I think what would be helpful is more videos like these where you explain everything in normal people language and tell us action items we can do.
Having folks like you out there fighting the good fight gives me hope in these chaotic times. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed and are appreciated.
Thank you for sharing. I appreciate the nuances you explained and how these actions are all interrelated, not random like they may appear.
Now I get it! It makes perfect sense as to why they are getting rid of a lot of programs,agencies, etc.They are doing it to raise funds for their tax scam bill 2.0. What a damn dirty diabolical plan.Not to mention they'll raise our taxes,while stealing our Social security.TY for explaining this!
Now is the time for Federal Tax resistance! Withhold your taxes! Do not fund the coup! Do not fund the Regime!
Thank you @aoc.bsky.social Your videos are very illuminating and helpful. We need more of this from our other leaders

THE DECK IS STACKED, the constitution can’t/wont be enforced, SCOTUS is in the gop’s pocket, federal courts have been neutered. I’m not sure what to do but videos from the office and telling us these are bad people isn’t cutting it. Our government is being dismantled before our eyes. What do we do?

We need groups of 1 million Amercians to show up at all the State capitol and Washington DC to protest. We need more like 69,000,000 Americans to go to protest in their states and state capitols. The Republicans are responsible. Don’t blame trump. Blame Republicans as they are sitting on their hands
They’re happening. Tomorrow each state at their capitol. Starts at noon in whatever time zone you live in.

Musk is a private citizen. He is staging an illegal coup and criminally stealing information and firing people. WHY IS HE NOT BEING ARRESTED?! Stop clutching your pearls and call the police! And while you're at it, CANCEL HIS GOV'T CONTRACTS! Congress approved the $$, you can take it back.
I have been saying this too. It's not rocket science. Detain him, freeze DOGE until congress understands how it is organized, Articles of Incorporation, what are the legal lines it operates within.

I’ve been off Zuckerberg since trump first term and I could watch it ✌🏼
This is hoping for government by angels.
We have a "concept" of rights. 💙💔🙏
Exactly
We have that system, but the perception seems to be that Trump can flex them because he utters pure B*llsh***. Gas lighting. They are there.
Agreed
Anyone know who actually wrote that?
You’re right, we really don’t have any rights the way it looks right now. And any one in charge or think they’re in charge could just order anything to happen to us at their will. Not Good.
Which also explains why we have social security numbers, we’re just numbers !!!!!
I’m sorry but if you think someone is going to solve politics forever for you, you are a dumb baby with a dumb baby brain
It's all about the money and 4 trillion dollar tax break that is expiring THIS YEAR. Listen to AOC explain.
That's the problem though, rights aren't real, law isn't real, these are all social constructs we've made and can always be undone. That post is basically meaningless, it's not actually saying anything
Really good right up until the last paragraph. No such system exists or can be created by humans. You will never not have to fight for your rights. Tough.
Counterpoint, the last paragraph is important and you’re speaking to the other side of the same coin. That we can’t match the Platonic ideal shouldn’t stop us from trying, to get as close as we can. Checks and balances were devised with that intention, but looks like they need a refresh.
I don't think we disagree in any fundamental or important way about this.
I’m drawing a blank as to which rights cis White men have to consistently fight for. There’s so much going on that I think I’m just missing that one.
right to clean air and water, right to healthy food. certainly not as many as some groups…but many of us do care
I’m certainly aware of environmental justice issues facing communities of color, didn’t mean to imply otherwise. my point is just that some pollution and toxin concerns are relatively universal.
You never implied any such thing. Your post was really just "we're in the same boat even if I got a privileged seat". It's bad reading or bad faith to accuse you of having said that you meant that only white people have those problems.
We're all in danger from Trump. Any person can have their Social Security number erased, their job taken, their IRS information released without their knowledge.
In any medium to large city, are the land fills, sewage treatment plants, waste recycling centers, factories, coal plants, and food "deserts" located in primarily white sections of town, or are they more likely found in or near predominantly brown/black communities? Caring is good, but not the same
Look, I appreciate farmers and I appreciate farmers who are for democracy even more, but nobody said or implied they were the same fucking thing. All "rights"* for EVERYONE are contingent even if not everybody faces the same daily struggle to exercise them. *no such thing actually exists
Your reply to Jeannen suggested that white men uniquely have to fight for clean water, clean air, etc. Teying to understand what you meant.
Ah, no, I *never* said that. I *never* implied that. Please show me the post you think says that and I'll attempt to explain what it means.
I'm sorry, I originally replied to wilderon. Not sure why it showed up as if my first comment was replying to you and I didn't check closely. Apologies.
No worries!
The right to slaves? Idk
Example: in South Africa, right now, the government is CONTINUING a post-Apartheid program intended to repatriate some of that incredible farm land to actual Africans... people with dark skin (NOT Afrikaans). The Muskrat says this is DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE (people=white men). So...
lol thanks for trying to throw me out of the bus but I won't go. Tough.
I simply asked you a question directly related to your comment. You chose to respond with an absurdity rather than an answer
I think your statement completely ignores rights like Speech and Religious Freedom, which can effect people no matter their race/gender, etc. I think this moment calls for a bigger tent, not reasons to kick out potential allies. Solidarity is the only thing that will save us.
Is there something in the water? Because that's still seems to be true.
Oh, no, all those rights are free for white men. We've always had those even when we were serfs and peasants. The nobility was all like, "you can't punish that serf for back talk and not working hard enough, he's a WHITE MAN". I'm sure it will be the same under this fascist regime. /s
And punctuate your absurdity with "Tough". You do you, fella.
You can be as big an ass to me as you like, toady. I still ain't getting off the bus, and if you can't understand that analogy that's your problem.
I didn't see anyone tell you to get off the bus. If you need to call people who mostly agree with you "ass" and "toady" that's your problem.
She said I don't have any rights that need protecting. Oh, she couched it as a question, but it wasn't a question and I won't pretend it was. You're a toady b/c you decided to jump into the middle of someone else's conversation with a "yeah, you tell 'em Spike." That makes you a toady.
First of all, your "conversation" is on a public forum, as all of your successive, increasing attacks on me have been, as well. No one said, nor implied 1) that you don't have rights nor 2) that need protecting. You could engage in conversation, but you prefer lobbing insults/attacks.
No, you didn't "simply" ask me a question related to my comment. Your Q wasn't a Q, it was a snide insinuation & I won't pretend otherwise. I also won't stop caring about your rights, and trans rights, and the rights of POC, and, yes, my own rights which are just as contingent as everyone's.
It was definitely a question! Your choice to assume I meant anything different has nothing to do with my intent. And what we aren’t doing in 2025 is telling whole grown women what they meant. Because when I want to be an a-hole it will be abundantly clear.
Sure, you were just "drawing a blank" on what rights a cis white man might have that could possibly be taken away. Ever heard of gay marriage? What about just the right to love who you love without fear of the state intervening? I guess you think those are completely safe.
Cis White men do not engage in gay marriage.😂😂😂🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ honey have a wonderful day. You’re spiraling and there are actually important topics to discuss, and this ain’t it.
Uh, check your terminology. Yes, cis white men engage in gay marriage. cis - gender identity matches what was assigned at birth
I disagree for the express reason it says NO ONE can take them away, which is what we have now. ONE person has decided our rights are fungible. Sure, it requires obedience from his party, but the fact one man can do this is the problem. We need guardrails that actually work.
Even read that way I doubt that's even theoretically possible. People have to run whatever system you devise.
True, all systems require them to be operated by people and people can be corrupt. I think we just need better checks and balances. We can't let the wolves police themselves, which is what one party is doing today.
Yeah, we don't actually disagree, I think.
Then the Declaration of Independence LIED.
🤣
AOC dear I adore you and would love to be one of your strategists but pls get off Instagram, X, FB — stop giving those guys your ad dollar clicks and data !
dems need to stop being nice. they need to pretend they are republicans, block everything that orange turd and his minions do and just play dirty. the government is on the line, literally!
Can you please check on my senator @booker.senate.gov because apparently he is just 3 raccoons standing on top of each other in a trench coat.
😄
AOC asked that we get as many people in his district as possible to flood his phone and emails demanding he vore no on Trump's remaining picks bc Lawler barely one and is nervous about re-election. lawler.house.gov
Yeah, his phone is flooded, alright. Sounds like he dropped it in the toilet.
1. Organize the Party around Labor Unions, not big donors. Orchestrate continuous actions including shut downs to protect and expand worker rights and benefits. 2. Motivate young people. Make organizing in-person a social good (like the environmental movement). 3. Purge radical elements.
If we want to become better as a nation, we need to become the party of workers rights. Fight for codetermination and make it illegal for elected officials to own companies or stocks. This should be the minimum.
Working Families Party. Join it and join the fight. There’s a LOT we can and are doing
Nice but that's small ball right now. They are RAIDING THE TREASURY TO PAY FOR TAX CUTS (due to expire this year). And they are protecting Military $ because they ALL get paid as contractors (total theft). FIGHT THAT NOW... we'll get to the stocks later.
You are correct. But I also don't think there is another way to stop this from happening again.
All I'm saying is step #1. Stop is now. step #2 is make sure it can't be done again.
Say!
Yes. We outnumber them.
Thank you, Rep. AOC!! I needed this ray of hope and action item list. ✊🏾
Hearing some truly troubling informations from the right about a new bank Trump just opened, transferring pre 35’ gold reserves from FK there, destroying dollar and creating some $shitcoin as a replacement, rendering both houses obsolete. Sounds ridiculous but worth looking into.

Yup. Colorado resident here.
I can't as an Idahoan suggest this because it would take tens of thousands of people. One or two or a hundred wont do anything. Now, if tens of thousands of leftists would actually like to invade Idaho for some reason, I'd be happy to recommend a bunch of good diners and camping spots and so on.

You blew it when your constituents voted Trump.
AOC's constituents overwhelmingly voted against Trump. Queens voted 61% for Harris, and The Bronx was 72% for Harris. Far from having blown it, AOC is one of the most highly regarded US politicians on the global stage. The USA is stronger because of her and people like her.
You might want to watch her video clip in which she states many of her constituents voted Trump
Please post your videos on Bluesky and YouTube?! For those of us boycotting Meta platforms and X for obvious reasons, can’t login to them or account deletion gets canceled!
The Democrats need to publicly Demand daily that if DOGE is serious about cutting Gov waste that all grants and contracts with any of Musks companies be canceled and all past funding be repaid at 50% after all he is the richest man in the world.
It's a dismantling of our government by coup. I did NOT receive my Social Security check today as scheduled. My account was "Suspended." fElon Musk and his operatives have already tampered with the system. They need to be arrested NOW.
I don't remember who it was, but someone on here was having a frustrating conversation with a Dem representative office, and that person suddenly started taking it seriously when they said someone had missed a Soc. Security check. If I were you, I'd contact a reporter and your reps.

BINGO
THIS
@aoc.bsky.social I recognize that you’re trying to reach the largest audience… but every view, every like, every post on META validates and empowers the wrong people. Boycotts have proven difficult for Americans historically but they are a powerful tool. Please use YouTube for accessibility.

I’ve been off meta but for the life of me can’t figure out how to delete Facebook. I’ve gone where one blogger said to go but it doesn’t look the same anymore. Clicked around and still can’t find it. Help!
It took me awhile, too. But I felt SO much lighter when I finally deleted FB.
Try this. My friend texted this to me & it worked. Settings>Personal Details>Acct Ownership and Control
I've been trying for hours!!! I've watched every tutorial on Youtube but do not see "your account information' listed. I somehow got to the help page on how to delete or deactivate, but the links just send me in circles. HELP!
I found it! So after you click settings put in search bar “Facebook information” then click personal details. Then click account ownership.
See. I’m having the same issue.
This talk was very helpful ❤️
Gracias AOC!!!!

Why hasn't Elon Musk been arrested for breaking into the Treasury, illegally shutting down USAID, locking workers out of their offices and accessing files he has no right to?
Cause he’s protected by POTUS
Because we haven’t fought back hard enough. We have more power than we think we do. The more we realize that, the stronger we get. The momentum is growing www.reddit.com/r/ProtestFin...
Double tap is quickest and easiest when it comes down to it. Start with Elon!
Because Republicans let him have that access. That is why he is there doing whatever he wants.
The cops could drag him out, because he's violating the law. But democrats aren't doing ANYTHING to arrest him.
That's the whole problem: who's going to arrest him? DOJ is now compromised, so they're not going to indict, Congress is in Trump's pocket, so they're not going to act. Bringing criminal charges is nearly impossible under these circumstances, but CIVIL action can be taken, and some are doing that.
We still have a lot courts..*still.
Arrested by whom? The Fascist are in control of the federal policing agencies.
My question exactly!
Please stay up on bsky. Lots of progessives have already dumped META.

Time to call out the access and review of confidential information at Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service, etc as Espionage. Elon Musk is not an employee or a contractor. His team of brownshirts are freelancing. They have no official status and no formal security credentialing.

We need to take the US back by bringing it to a COMPLETE STAND still. Call the farmers association, the unions, & the construction companies. Bring all your RIGS & block every road in the Capitals of every state. The USA will not move till this man is REMOVED & both he and Musk are JAILED.
Love the idea but it's not going to work until the MAGAts start feeling the pain too. Gonna have to get a fair bit worse for any of them to join in.

For the ones dogging Meta, not all of us have TikTok because of their original Chinese ties.
What is your objection? Because I guarantee you that China cares nothing about you or your information
Trump and Musk buying TikTok. Trump announced today. You’re all fools to be on TikTok, Twitter/X, all things META.
My point is that the Chinese affiliation reason is made up propaganda. If that is the reason then that reason needs to be addressed.

Here you go: youtu.be/e4hRJDYh1Ss?...
Why isn’t the entire labor movement denouncing union busting Trump - Musk illegal moves? Mass firings without process for illicit motives? Saying management’s desires can override collective bargaining agreements? If it were anyone but Trump they’d have the big rat outside the WH. Labor why silence?
AFGE is … others need to suit up
@aflcio.org
They’re probably too shocked!!! Stupid idiots!!!
We need a new labor movement. Not really new…Restoring worker dignity is going to involve pain. We get nothing unless we take it. This is the reality we’ve been waking up to for decades. Time to fight back.
Looking for a good government benefits lawyer… I’d like to sue DOGE for accessing my records, only seeking the remedy of removing the violators access. Would like to file soon. Can this be class action? Anyone want to join in?
I’d like to join
@aclu.org can you do something?
I was wondering about this type of thing
I think @nationalsecuritylaw.org is already on this (although I could be mistaken, so much is going on right now...)
Would love to join in
I kind of want to get in on this too, and somehow directly sue Musk for acquiring stolen information/property.
I'm in! Imagine if a cavalcade of lawsuits all crushed him at once... not just one class-action, but businesses should pursue this, too. A foreign national is wandering freely around our government's innermost workings unelected and unchecked. Is this not somehow ILLEGAL?
DEFINITELY ILLEGAL I HEARD TONIGHT
I’m in.
I have shared this with so many friends who found it uplifting and empowering. Thank you Madame Congresswoman!! Much love from a NYC expat in Cambodia 🇰🇭🥰 I thought you might like to know your message is reaching across the globe, and I look up to you so much!
What happens now!? Is it safe to even file tax returns?? Should we pay if we owe… or will that go to some secret Trump/Musk Doge account??
I would say no one should be filing tax returns right now. Wait until the due date.
Could you find a different platform than Zuckerberg’s?
Here you go: youtu.be/e4hRJDYh1Ss?...
Thank you
Yep. I get Bluesky isn't as developed for that purpose, but, also Youtube exists and is marginally but sufficiently better.

Dems need to address REAL ISSUES: OUR SPENDING, health ins companies, big pharma, lack QUALITY healthcare, the FDA with poison, toxic food that keep us sick. Im sure people can add to this, but it’s time the Dems roll up their weak fkn sleeves n play the same fkn game Reps play, STOP PLAYn SO NICE!
@aoc.bsky.social WE WANT LEGAL ACTIONS FROM DEMOCRATS!!! DO SOMETHING,GET THE BEST LAWYERS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!
I closed out my IG that I’ve had for many years. My friends & family voted for this mess & idc wtf they’re doing & they don’t need to know what I’m doing. Checked out! #resist #selfcare
We need a road map of what we can do to participate in stopping these evil entities. I feel like we are in a spiritual war. Dark vs. light Good vs. evil Whoever is your higher power, let's collectively call them in. I feel like this is bigger than us

Thank you, Congresswoman, this is good. But not everyone is on Instagram. Please hold press conferences and schedule them for maximum news coverage. Rotate with Dems in the House and Senate who are as willing as you to speak truth to power.
@aoc.bsky.social agreeing with Chris here and all the other comments, we aren’t using META platforms anymore and won’t go there for info so another platform would be appreciated. Preferably HERE.
Substack is good as well.
Elon Musk minions help create Substack. FYI.
Bluesky cannot support a live. Stop being the problem that got us here—political purity.

By using instagram, a product owned by oligarch Zuckerberg, your compromised values are fully exposed. Why trust you if you trust them?
bsky.app/profile/sola...
It’s still a platform with a lot of reach. She should post this over on X too. The more people see it the better.
I'm sorry, Meta has been canceled. Try another platform?
bsky.app/profile/sola...
This was such a cohert and well-thought explanation. Great work. My view has changed because of your video.
Nope. Use another forum, please.
bsky.app/profile/sola...
I'm glad she was responsive so quickly. Thank you for this link.
Your instagram posts don’t show up here
Here you go: youtu.be/e4hRJDYh1Ss?...
Hi.. Whenever Rep Ocasio-Cortez makes these videos... would you mind terribly doing what you did w this one and making them accessible on YouTube?? A lot of us, such as myself, aren't on Instagram or other social media apps outside of 🦋. Thank you. ✊️✌️🌊💙🇺🇲🫶🦋👣
Thank you for this. Very much appreciated. ✊️💙🌊✌️
THANK GODDESS! This is what we have all been craving & needing, a calm, measured, thoughtful analysis of the rape of our country & govt by The Frat Boy Cabinet with practical advice for what to expect & things to do. THIS is what leadership looks like. BRAVA, AOC!! 👍🏼✊🏼👏🏻

Have burned Instagram after the hateful speech policy updates.
Here you go: youtu.be/e4hRJDYh1Ss?...
You shouldnt make people login to Meta owned sites to see it
bsky.app/profile/sola...
Gotta reach them wherever they are.
I hate Zuck, but I agree with this. Not everyone is as tuned in to the sins of Meta as we are. I appreciate that she posted it on YouTube.
I got rid of Instagram 👍🏽
@oliviabs.bsky.social here it is! 💙
Get off Instagram, Facebook, X and Threads. Why support the enemy??
bsky.app/profile/sola...
I'm not sure it's that simple for politicians who need reach...
This is Awesome!
Called Joni,Chuck, and Ashley this morning. Emailed them tonight. I'm not sure if Joni's went through or not as my internet went down as I hit send. So if Elon and his homey "big balls" read my email and I'm on the enemy of the state list. Send bail.
AOC asked that we get as many people in his district as possible to flood his phone and emails demanding he vore no on Trump's remaining picks bc Lawler barely one and is nervous about re-election. lawler.house.gov
Unfortunately, I am not in his district. I got to convince my Representatives to be human and not puppets.
DEMS MUST FIGHT HARDER - we don't see the dems fighting for us - for THE PEOPLE - we love your policies but you come off as WEAK - that makes you unpopular - FIGHT HARDER - do more. I am exhausted - donated, volunteered, I have a full time job plus grad school - I helped you all win - FIGHT FOR US
What exactly do you mean by fight harder? I’m speaking as a former Reagan Republican who believes WE THE PEOPLE who blindly follow are the reason e we are in the mess we’re in. Frankly “we” are getting what “we” deserve & frankly I don’t know how to fix that. Democrats are not the problem.
No, WE voted for the democrats. WE did what we could, but there was no way for us to stop their corruption through voting and now we're trying to demand that our next protections actually kick in.
Colloquially, WE is collective, not just “your” or “my” side or group. Net, WE failed the November 2024 exam. #Failed to put the best interests of #usa first.
If this country is ground to a halt thru mass protests, which I would join, it would make an impact. Elected Dems can have marginal impact, but tens of millions of people protesting in union is more impactful I think. Regardless, #usa is in mess. Frankly, I don’t know what to do.
Too many people want to be rescued rather than rescuing ourselves. Get on the phone. Make a fuss. Form community alliances. That’s just a start.Don’t depend on elected officials to do it all. They’re not saviors and never were. Never will be. We have to save ourselves.
Fair well I’d like to know whom we should be calling on the phone.
🤦♀️ Have you never heard of your representatives? Community organizations? If you don't have one, START ONE. It's appalling how uneducated (and unimaginative) Americans are about what they can do for themselves at even the most basic levels.
Also... this is pretty much what I said in the post you replied to. Come on.
Also, jeez, think outside the damn box. bsky.app/profile/sall...
Thanks for the work. What inspires you to be a Democrat? I feel like our leadership has abounded us, they are making undocumented immigrants their priority. IDK
We were abandoned by 7 swing states in November 2024. They chose insurrection and corruption over integrity. Democrats are not the problem here.
Goodness,I feel this. Best of luck in grad school! We give and give and just get ignored by the party claiming to be on our side. Dems had an all time funding run and still lost because they lost touch with their actual voting base.

Can you try and usher your followers off Instagram and X? They are fascist platforms and you should work toward leaving them behind.
Yeah I Left
I strongly agree. I keep trying to say this to people who are leaving X but continue to use Meta platforms; Meta is just as bad.
Yes July 4, 2025 unsubscribe from X, Meta, and Amazon to take our independence back. It’s not fair 3 men have more wealth than the bottom 60% of all people. We the people can take back our fair share and crush the oligarchs by just unsubscribing.
Bluesky all the way
Don't forget fb.
Thank you for doing this. This has made a real difference to me. Little things do matter.
