AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

It occurs to me that all those conservatives who own guns may finally realize that Trump screwed them and decide to use their guns to protect themselves. Yep, I think it will be the GOP that comes for your guns.
I wish part of acknowledging reality was having the conversation about racism & other bigotry. How it is infused in American politics. Not as a weapon in a class war as a political value system that guides Americans in their support or denigration of policy. Also in their political support of ppl.
This is great, but we need more of it. Much more.
Every elected Democrat, and any elected Republican that doesn't have their head completely up their ass — if there are any left — need to do this at every opportunity.
#ItIsReal
@aoc.bsky.social tell us what to do to get our democracy back.
Until we hear from you, I will continue to support a nationwide https://GeneralStrikeUS.com If we go on strike as a nation and shut the country down, we will be heard.
Heard a story today about a friend of one of my kids, med student, from Pakistan. Deported. A med student, community volunteer, absolutely perfect record, no 'dissent', etc.
Once Trump decides he doesn't have to follow the law and starts rounding up citizens, it will fall to the states to see how long they want to ride that train, and I'm thinking not for very long.
Take your schtick to the Confederate states & the plains states they need to hear the message. Friendly crowds in LA, NY, Boston , Chicago, Philly, DC prove nothing your preaching to the choir. Ok we get it u did Phoenix. 50% of the country doesn’t even pay attention & has no idea what’s going on.
Too bad you heard about it. You voted for loser's kameltoe Harris and tampon Timmy never presidents now you get president Trump for 3.8 years. I don't watch Fox who would I? I hope kameltoe Harris and Bernie Sanders run in 28.
Who cares anymore.... no matter what we do we'll always be controlled by corporate greed. American greed itself is off the charts it's disgusting. Maybe we're better off killing ourselves anyways
Hello
Sorry if I have already posted this to you, Please check my protest song about Dictator Adolf Trump and January 6th, if you like it please, give a thumbs up and share!
People are standing up!! I’m wasn’t there so I don’t know - but I suggest they have voter registration area. QR code for Indivisible, Swing Left, 50501. A what next sheet - orgs to support and get involved w campaigns. Imagine if 36k signed up to help w NJ VA Gov race or PA SC.
This! Is what I’ve been calling for… nice job! We must find those law enforcement and military who are willing to stand and speak to the oath they took to the Constitution and protect the people NOT him. He’s already done numerous illegal acts, justifying a mutiny!
I’m no where near thinking any of them are hero’s. Just an FYI. We need to brainstorm paths outta this shitstorm…It’s Congress and the Military from what I can see that need to flip a few. Got any other ideas?
Now we get to wait to see how long until this hotline and department is disbanded, and attorneys who aided the fight to keep it alive have all security privileges revoked.
As an observer, my ultimate question is whether or not, if ordered by Hegseth & under Trump fiat to impose martial law, members of the military would stand against their own citizens, or would they stand down ?
You'll never be able to get a true national strike but we NEED to be in the streets NIGHTLY if we can't get out every weekend. Growing larger crowds than 4-5-25.
Fuck the stock market! Our government is actually hunting people!!!!!! And then, sending them to the next best thing to a gas chamber without having to actually build gas chambers! Forget about your goddamn stock portfolios.
It is going to be up to the US Military to decide whether Trump becomes the next Hitler. We all know what's his ultimate goal, to have the power of life or death over everyone. Hitler had it and he used it against those close to him who tried to kill him in order to stop him from destroying Germany.
From the Passover Haggadah:
“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall do him no wrong. The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself for you were strangers in the land of Egypt” (Leviticus 19:33).
That’s the OLD, useless gospels! The trump gospel dictates removing foreign looking people, and scientists, and doctors, from religious society! Trump is their new messiah!
I am starting to believe the Bible and the antichrist!😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Also, my health is much worse now. I took a fall last night. And landed on my left hip. Which I know I have internal bleeding on the left side. But, I do not have the money for any medical bills. If I have any stock, It will possibly cost me more money than be in the green!
Exactly. All the people who stood by while Palestine was bombed - complicit in fascism. If enough people stood against it, Trump would have lost to the only anti genocide candidate on enough ballots to take the presidency - Stein.
Stein was run with the money of PUTIN, both in 2016 and 2024. Stein and Mike Flynn sat at the same dinner table with PUTIN in Dec 2015! This election was NOT only about Palestine. This election was about NOT having a FASCIST in the WH & THAT's what we have with Krasnov-his KGB name.
The anti genocide votes would have won it. It shouldn't take an election to oppose genocide, you should stand against that regardless. You got a fascist. The Democrats chose to lose to Trump rather than stop bombing Palestinians.
That's the most ridiculous statement I've heard re: the election. There's no way in hell that Stein could be a serious candidate for POTUS. You clearly don't live in reality
I saw this in high school and decided then, like GW to never have a party affiliation. I just hope the Dems do rise above the ashes of what the Republicans leaves in their wake
Don’t let Trump and his parasites distract you.
Everything they’re up to is designed to FAK up your mind.Their agenda:
☎️Kidnapped and murder as many people they can: immigrants, citizens or not, people they don’t approve, people that criticize them etc. etc
☎️Bankrupt our country‼️🤬🤬
I really hope there is a plan if the felon occupying the White House decides to go full tyrant. Since apparently the republicans wouldn’t care. They sure don’t seeem to at the moment
The admin is illegally deporting American citizens to prison camps abroad with zero due process, and creating a constitutional crisis by ignoring a unanimous Supreme Court ruling.
What does going full tyrant mean to you that you don't already see?
Is this felon isn’t stopped and impeached there are dark times coming up for the usa and the world. It’s all ready fascism and dictatorship. Why don’t dem members don’t see this and hope for change in midterm elections? There will be no mt elections! Call your dem reps and demand impeachment!
China has the US by the balls with trade. They can get everything we export to them from elsewhere and/or then stop our exports of food by saying they are “bug riddled” or GMO. I don’t think we can say their IPhone are bug ridden unless they come with TicTock pre-installed. Right?
AOC is saying exactly what needs to be said right now. I have a tremendous amount of respect for her for showing courage!! Now is NOT the time to turn a blind eye to the despicable crimes of the Trump administration!!
AOC’s speech in LA today was perfect. Best political speech I’ve ever heard in my 65 years. She nailed it. Everything she said resonated perfectly with me. She sees clearly what is happening (unlimited $ in politics leading to oligarchy) and the main antidote (total unity by building community)
If that could realistically happen, sure. It can't. We are past the point of "But graphs show orange man bad."
We know. He's disappearing people and tanking the global economy for profit. We're past the election stuff, but hang on because who knows, someday it may be relevant. Not today though.
The much bigger - indeed fundamental - question is why the Biden / Harris administration didn’t act on this information when it became available to them in the immediate aftermath of the election.
Yet you idiots decided to fuck around and run one of the worst campaigns in the last two decades and then double down on genocide when millions told you they wouldn’t vote for it…
and they STILL elected the son of a bitch who should by all rights be DEAD after getting 2 fucking million americans killed in his first term. braindead fuckin country
The Democratic Party has a great deal to do with what is going on right this very minute! Last year at this time, Tammy Baldwin’s office and Mark Pocan’s office in Wisconsin knew nothing a project 2025 and poke cans office thought the heritage foundation was a furniture store on the beltline
magats: "we love this. we love people being scooped up and deported for being the wrong color and saying the wrong thing. we love vicious attacks on scientists and academics who tell the truth. we love cruelty for cruelty's sake. We are absolute ghouls."
First of all she's stupid as shit and in the second place AOC is all pro the oligarchy. AOC does exactly what the boss tells her to do. So another automaton that makes things worse and nothing better.
When are you people finally going to learn something about other countries?
if we make it to the midterms, what is the plan to have 70 senators and 300 reps in the house to change things just like the past election the plan is enough people hating pugs and Trump vote Dems in with a slim majority where nothing will change! All donors must be publicly shamed not just musk
The whole illegal rendition thing is about the money, too. Thats why they’re plucking foreign tourists and, frankly, anyone from the streets. Each spot in one of these ICE detention centres means $$$$ for private companies and the people who lobby for them.
@aoc.bsky.social Given the administration asserts they cannot repatriate "mistaken" deportations, is there no avenue to, at minimum, vote on a binding moritorium on the process until there's a mechanism of review to confidently avoid such "errors" in identification and due process going forward?
What is concerning is the DOJ, SEC passing on investigations, and that there is actually no plan with regard to Tarriffs. On/off, sudden exemptions when an Apple loses $6 billion in market value. Bottom line, keep out of Bitcoin folks
& we rely on you lawmakers TO DO SOMETHING-this is happening TO US b/c YOU do nothing - the days of you reporting on something evil happening, then dusting your hands, walking away saying 'job done -I told them' are in the rear view mirror - do your jobs! Protect our democracy as your Oath promises

In the United States from video footage uploaded to Utube.

Non Caucasian American citizens the most disenfranchised.

Please AOC, stop grandstanding!! We need help organizing, not to help your campaigns of usurping Democratic power! If you don’t help, we may not HAVE future elections for you to run in!!
You guys are sleeping on how serious this is…please I’m begging you to get AI regs in but sharing the incredible danger of them having our data it. It’s really really bad
This reminds me of the press conference immediately after International Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War received the Nobel Peace Prize. The crowd was hostile, accusing the American co-founder of being a Soviet asset. Someone in the room went into cardiac distress...
...The IPPNW co-founder and his Soviet colleague (both cardiologists) immediately attended to the man in distress, and saved his life. They then explained to the hostile critics that they were just physicians trying to save lives, and that's why they were working together to prevent nuclear war...
...You can learn more about IPPNW and its Nobel Peace Prize story in Bernard Lown's memoir, "Prescription for Survival: A Doctor's Journey to End Nuclear Madness."
Free speech is being met with visas being revoked and speaking the truth or defending those who speak it is being prosecuted. I don’t think it’s paranoia to think we citizens will be next.
This should be the Democratic Party Leader. The Party needs youthful leadership. Social media savvy as one of the needed requirements. It's time for Grandpa and Grandma politicians to sit down, relax and realize politics need change.
Grandma and grandpa were the primary protesters in February. They were the only ones showing up. Let's not retire them so quickly. Bernie Sanders and AOC just got 35,000 to turn out in LA. Yes ,AOC is young, but Bernie started these town hall meetings. We need EVERYONE to get this done.
You need the best, non-Trumpist politicians, young, old and middling to all work together. Put aside all differences and jealousies and work to salvage the remains of the wreckage that is the USA. Bernie and Alex together is great.
I agree it’s a group effort across divisions but I agree with their overall point. Millennial generation on down have no real representation in government. None of our future is being decided by us. Never has an older generation held power this long compared to younger population. Not good.
You need all ages, Bernie has been right and leading the charge for over 10 years... AOC is showing how courage and straight talk make a difference. Obviously, more younger people need to be elected to office, but never dismiss the wisdom of age... everyone will be old(er) at some point.
If the admin can do this to immigrants (that are here legally) what will stop them for any citizens they don’t like or even whole groups they don’t like.
There's also the equally dumbfounding fact that some of your neighbors, students, friends, and fellow Americans knowingly and actively brought this upon you.
And some of those neighbours are the ones doing the dirty work with their own hands, day in and day out, coming home each evening for dinner and to take the kids to soccer practice, and then getting up the next day to go back to work and ruin more lives. These actions have actors doing them.
You'll need an eventual reckoning as part of the healing process. We Germans missed that for the most part, and look at us now, slowly marching back into the same shit for a second round.
She's a brilliant communicator, and she's providing a powerful, moving explanation of why she SHOULDN'T be speaking at anti-Democratic Party rallies like this.
Business removed some 40,000 operations abroad, business helped elect the most unpredictable president ever. Businesses should be recognized as a major part of the problem. 😶
We are currently under the terrorist rule of corrupt gangsters (fascists). They’re blatantly violating constitutional laws and human rights. This is absolutely disturbing and we all need to unite and protest against these crimes. The people have more power than the people in power!
Time to get busy. Congress is on their paid leave (we paid for) and coming home so grab some friends & pay for daily newspaper aids demanding to know why they support Trump instead of the people who elected them? Remind them Trump can’t vote them Into office.
Uh, no. It initially was for using militias for national defense instead of having a standing army. Those initial militias were used to quell rebellion and kill native peoples.
But, you don't need a law to allow you to fight back. Fighting the state will always be defined by the state as lawless.
Interesting! Disappeared sounds more menacing to me, maybe because I only associate with sanctioned government action and also has a more permanent sound?
There are many political terms that sound childish to me, such as this one. 'Where did they go lil boy'. "They was here and now they been disappeared!"
Same. Disappeared started out meaning taken away by gov forces, shot and buried in an unmarked grave. Also, when we know someone is in a particular prison or camp, it's not "disappeared". Disappeared means "vanished", usually permanently.
Your post is a classic double negative rendering it the opposite of what I suspect you want it to mean.
Did you mean to say "If you don't think that the election was rigged I've got a bridge to sell you?"
Point taken; it’s possible (maybe even likely) that the election was rigged to capture swing states. Still, that change that white voters voted in the majority for him. They’ve voted for the Republican candidate in the majority since LBJ (around the time of the civil rights movement).
Oh, I'm not discounting your data... I'm pointing out that this yte per didn't. I live in a swing state, and in 2016/2020 we were surrounded by Trump flags... 2024 was completely different-- I'd believe more people sat out the election than actively voted for Trump. The polls were def rigged.
Still waiting on the Army to follow through with their motto and actually defend us from the shitbag in the White House that’s attacking America and our livelihoods…
I do think a blue state alliance would move the needle (I’m in a purple state so I would be excluded). But money is all these assholes respond to. It would definitely put more pressure on them.
Blue leadership laid out the red carpet for fascism. Look for anti plutocracy representation wherever you are, red state or blue. Representatives taking no money from the wealthy.

Next out YOU!
I remember first seeing AOC speaking about hope and making things better. Now she's begging people to pay attention to how horrible things are getting.
It's sad, but I love the people still working to make life better.
This daily avalanche of horse shit from these people. This isn’t what life is supposed to be like. This isn’t what our nation should be. Why are our elected officials cowering? Why can’t they hold people accountable? It’s such a simple
proposition against insurmountable odds from the shittiest, most evil, most asinine, inept, incredulous group. Protect this country and its people. At all costs. Humor isn’t dead, but making jokes, memes, witty posts, indirect jabs, little asides…need to fucking stop. Serious folks who can ACTUALLY
do something worthwhile, substantial, meaningful, of great necessity MUST ACT NOW. Stop delaying. Stop second guessing. Aggressively push back with adequate force and prove love conquers hate. That light shines bright when good people stand together and are a spotlight on the heinous darkness ahead.
Yes!!! I am getting a little tired of democratic politicians going on cable news and telling us how bad it is. We know how bad it is. We are living it. Do something about it!! That's why we elected you! Use the full extent of your power, and voice, to put a stop to this. Once and for all!
It's going to take 3.5% of the population to move the country. Democrats hold the minority in the house and senate , we have no power there. Let's get the 3.5% on April 19th (my 7th trump protest) . Please come join us .
Only we can do this .I ask you what have you done for democracy lately?
Well, yes, maybe -- maybe that is how it can end. But which military chief wants to be the one who initiates a 'Military Coup'. Democracies have always scorned and condemned military coups.
This is an illegal presidency you cannot have a Russian agent in charge of the White House he is sabotaging us he ate us because we did not vote for him and that's why they reg the elections this is his revenge tour he's attacking the US

Pres Rapist probably has his henchmen searching her background as we speak.
There's no what-about-ism with Bernie. Your Billionaire President has his Billionaire Cabinet working with the richest man in the world.
You're cheering on the leopards that are eating your face.
Did it hurt your feelings when your Fox News talking point didn't work?
I don't want to hear about a first class ticket (which is <$500 upgrade) when BILLIONS are stolen from the poor and given to Billionaires.
But yeah, let's defund the Department of Education.
If you think you have more in common with billionaires than you do with AOC and Bernie, I have bad news for you.

Face it, they’re being criminally kidnapped, and most probably tortured and murdered.
