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 https://youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?si=iYc_Rw3f3nn-bm1Z
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Democratic Governors in swing states need to demand a recount. Musk has provided the evidence that his team is capable of hacking election systems. PA, MI and WI have enough electoral votes to change the outcome of the election. For these elite hackers flipping 115,000 votes would have been easy.
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!!
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.
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.
Kudos for the completeness, accessible presentation, etc.
If there are any writers / producers you could work with to take this and compact the most valuable and important points to 10 minutes of equally accessible content, that would be 100x as powerful.
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
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?
Can you start using peertube or any other option that is not big media? Many of us are boycotting that because we're sick of it. Peertube is part of the Fediverse.
THANK YOU! There is a wall of moms that have been working with Canada/HRC a long time in regards to Trans people.How in danger are trans people? Should we be looking into refugee status? We dont know how we should be preparing. This is about my child's life. Are they at risk? We cant rely on courts
Thank you for this! I've been telling people loud and clear that WE OUTNUMBER THEM!!! There needs to be a BLOCKADE of Legislators blocking Musk and his musketeers from entering Dept. of Education offices!
@aoc.bsky.social I want to now how it is possible legally and just operationally for a non-elected private citizen to commandeer govt databases and takeover functions and close them and fire people? Executive orders don’t override laws. Where is congress? What can be done?!
@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 https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/new & would like to share trainings that have the necessary depth to to support.
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.
Based on the Privacy Act, Fed agencies are not allowed to disclose private individual info from a set of gov’t records w/o written consent from the individual. Federal agencies are required to safeguard even unclassified info from third parties and unauthorized individuals.
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. ✨🙌🏽✨
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.
Is it possible for your team to cross post your TT/reels to YT, since those videos embed here, but others don’t. And BS currently has a 1 min video limit.
Take action:
Dear USians, your pension funds are against #DEI :
#Vanguard #BlackRock #StateStreet
They support the companies that DO NOT support #DEI Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
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.
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. 💙💙
Thank you, AOC. How can we contact Scott Bessent? We want to hold him, the secretary of treasure, accountable for allowing breach of private citizen data and threat to our national security system.
I know you are extremely busy, but can you maybe take a look at this. It may help us all understand why this is REALLY all happening!

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.
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.
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.
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
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!
I would never have thought that shutting down an arm of the CIA masquerading as a benevolence organization would so outrage Democrats so as to call for nationwide protests but here we are.
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.
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
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!
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 @aoc.bsky.social for being pretty much the only person on the Hill who talks to the public like we’re all adults and doesn’t mince words. If the party had more people like you we wouldn’t be in this mess.
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.

Everyone in every state call your senators your house reps, and demanded some of their PAC money go to the two seats in Florida and the one seat in New York to take back the house by April Fools’ Day
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.
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.
Sell Tesla - Bring Elon down. Tesla stock could be hiding in your ETFs - make sure you sell those and get Tesla out of your portfolio. Elon operates with debt backed by Tesla stock. If the stock gets low enough it will trigger his ruin.
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??
Thank you Congresswoman! This is the most understandable explanation of this ongoing disaster that I've heard. Seeing a big picture view of this fiasco is both calming and empowering. I feel better prepared to cope and resist, after having watched your video. Keep it up please.
Plus...Guess what Trump just did. Fired the Chairman of the board at The Kennedy Center in DC (and others) Guess who he named as the new Chairman of the Board?
Himself!!!! I hope they all SUE for wrongful discharge. Truth social post. As reported by...Mary Trump. About an hour ago.
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
It’s time for the felon, criminal, Constitutionally disqualified Russian asset and political thief & his cronies (from Project2025 & his loyalists) to go!
He is illegitimate.
When criminals rule the land, no one is safe. https://bsky.app/profile/mousemedium.bsky.social/post/3lgqzddcxfk2o
I want to personally shoot the slingshot with trump in to Mars. Then next would be Elon Musk. Watching the snarky smirks evaporate from their faces would be delightful.
True but it’s not just those two. All maga in power (Presidency, Congress, SCOTUS) need to go. They have dismantled justice and the rule of law and are a threat to national security
EVERY BLUE STATE AG, Governor plus every Democrat
House Rep & Senator needs to publicly show leadership
See this AZ AG video
AND Thank You AOC for publicly showing your leadership -
Maybe you can help Rep Hakeem Jeffries find his balls!
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.
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!
This purge is illegal and employees should not have to go to court to
survive. Perhaps there can be a class action lawsuit or a way to refuse to leave according to employee
rights. I am so afraid of what all of this will mean to the safety of our country.
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?
This is AOC who is explaining everything that's going on and why. I feel so good now that I know why this is happening and what we can do about it. Listen and pass it on.
Zeus, deliver us. After all. Gods are known for being steady and wise and not vindictive or capricious like their human inventors at all. Real talk tho… Hoping the Dems do something is starting to feel like praying to indifferent godlings.
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
No. We don’t need even one. We simply need a 1-day strike of no work. And all of the 30% ++ anyone else, to Buy Nothing from all GOP aligned, and abandon Meta, X
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.
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.
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
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.
Essentially any and all rights associated with economic mobility, the right to work, and the right to education. Rights all of us are fighting for, not just "cis White men." Other groups have many more rights which need to be fought for than just those above, no doubt.
Great point. Honestly the only thing that was coming to mind when I was reading this initially was my Con Law professor reminding us that the constitution and all of the rights bestowed within were for wealthy White men. Though they didn’t use the word cis back then, it was a thought that stuck out
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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. https://lawler.house.gov/
This is AOC who is explaining everything that's going on and why. I feel so good now that I know why this is happening and what we can do about it. Listen and pass it on.
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.
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.
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.
More lip service. Federal employees have been under attack for two weeks. Nobody has done anything. Our personal information has been stolen. Our jobs are being stolen. No one is doing anything!
What about people who decided not to support Meta? You're driving people to a company that supports Trump and his views. Why work to strengthen their platforms?
Thank you for being one of the few representatives in touch with the people. Great job and hope you keep it going. If we ever have another election, I hope you’re the next President. 🇺🇸
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.

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.
But even if there were elections, the US has shown that it is too racist and misogynistic for that ticket to stand a chance. They are both great, but we have to be realistic. AOC would need a white, male running mate.
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.
With the possibility of this administration essentially destroying multiple agencies, do we have anyone backing up agency policies and what not to help get them back going when we're back to being normal country?
Thank you! You were the voice I needed to hear tonight. I was climbing the walls, feeling so crazy and pissed. The DOE thing really has me upset for my baby in university. Well everything that’s going on does, but that’s the one on my back door. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for standing up and not being afraid to use your voice. Is it possible to post your lives here after the fact. I am trying to get away from Meta so I deactivated my Instagram account. Thank you
Yesterday Jamie Raskin said large centralized protests might invite a response from the 1600 Jan 6 paroled insurrectionists that might turn deadly. Better to have local protests at agency locations across the country.
I am curious: do you think I am less innately competent than you inherently because I was rejected from Boston U. despite having the same ideals? How do you parse what one's ability to get or not get into certain U.s says about them?

Oh shit. You're totally right. I'm not sure now that you mention that. She may have mistakenly offered him up as one name. In her IG post, she just thought of his name on the spot for people to pressure to vote against cabinet picks. @aoc.bsky.social please clarify? 🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸
I'll call tomorrow. The message for people outside of his district should be that for every remaining pick he votes yes to, we're going to donate $x,xxx to primary him next election
I saw that! After all we did to support Gallego! I saw that my Senator Alex Padilla voted for Scott Bessent as well. I gave him a piece of my mind today.
Please do! We have to stop assuming our Dems are actually voting in a way that represents us. They may sound good in a CNN or MSNBC interview, but we shouldn't assume those promises will translate to their voting record.
@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.

Look. I don’t support any of those either but lots of voters are still there. It’s cool if she holds her nose and reaches out to them where they are. The ask should be to provide the audio/video here natively as well.
I agree that the Democrats need to be much more aggressive overall, but in this case, the people here aren’t the ones who need to be reached. It’s why Pete Buttigieg went on Fox.
Political purity is what got us here. Republicans vote for every shit sandwich on the ballot, but Dem voters “just can’t vote for that person.” And here we are.
Instead of scolding one of the few Dems who are reaching out to the majority on a platform that can support the file size, listen to her.
Everyone must catch up on AOCs explanation of why MAGA is distracting Americans. She explains how Elon is working to extend the billionaires tax cuts by stealing from the US treasury. It was explained perfectly.
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!
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!
You can still watch it! I don’t have instagram but it will still let you watch the video. Just close out the window that asks you if you want to download the app or open in the app!

Start talking about crypto. The American people do not understand that now, with one click, DOGE can transfer the entire Treasury and SS funds to a crypt wallet, and it would be GONE. Untraceable. They could bankrupt the nation in a single stroke now. Everyone’s hard earned money, GONE.
1). Boot some servers to participate in DOGE’s blockchain
2). Set up a database to map the dollar amounts to wallets.
3). Determine a ridiculously low exchange rate for the crypto in those wallets to the US dollar
4). Exchange funds as they come in for this crypto
5). Send the money elsewhere.
Not one click, but they’re able to do this now for sure. And they can always get help, what matters is what the person at the keyboard is willing to do. And when you’re that young, you do whatever your boss says. There’s a good reason they’re all young and naive.
Can you work with your team to consider some platforms for mirroring? I understand the necessary evil of using certain platforms some wish to de-emphasize, but can you not capture a greater audience with wider distribution where people are at on other platforms or services as well?
I would submit that your biggest issue is appointing an Russian puppet as your DNI. We in the western world share our most secret sources,methods and assets with your intelligence agencies and now all that information will be available to the Kremlin. This will set the western world back 30 years.
You’re such a strong and active voice, Alexandria. I dearly hope - for the sake of a lot of my genuinely terrified America friends - that your voice can galvanise Dem leaders, and the party as a whole to do something more “proactive” than just doing posts and writing emails. Best wishes from the UK.

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?
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.
medicines have skyrocketed in price
Medicaid access cut
SS checks are being delayed
Veteran Benefits endangered in data breach
Outbreaks of tuberculosis, measles and bird flu are not being tracked
How will hundreds of thousands, even millions of people not be killed by Musk in the coming months?
This was really informative, digestible, and inspiring. Thank you. You should share it to other platforms for the people who’ve already left Meta behind!

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.
That's what I'm talking about.
You're a brave woman for standing up to these fucking powerful bullies! Especially elroy. Big giggles from me on that! The tax deadline for the $$$ brings it home. Ok! I'm encouraged. I'll be calling my r assholes in AZ. TY @aoc.bsky.social I know you'll be on it!
What I am hearing is that this is going to become very violent and quickly if our government does not step in. Many people are past the panic stage and are angry, it’s moving quickly.
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.
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. https://lawler.house.gov/
JFC more folks on here whining about META than commenting on what this smart, engaged MOC is trying to share with us. What she is saying is smart, accurate, and needs to be said. I'm sure Zuck is upset that I'm choosing to not hear what AOC is trying to tell us.
What are you doing about the increase of our electric and gas bills that conedison want to increase for no reason. @aoc.bsky.social where is your voice on this. You pushed Amazon out why not conedison
Musk/ team acted as if he had authority but didn't: fraud. Data & ID theft are crimes. Locked Bldg & computers, a crime > extortion (ransomware). Tho Trump can pardon for Fed crimes, can't for state crimes. He, cronies & (enablers) Congress should. Trump may be glad to ditch Musks control of him
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?
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.
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!
No! You go down to the rotunda and raise hell. What is wrong with you all? This is the age of loud noises and protests. Get down to the rotunda and start screaming like MAGA did when they were minority!! We aren’t waiting for the next election. Fight for us now!!!!
There’s over 340M people in this country! Btw: I truly believe Starlink manipulated vote numbers giving Trump the win, and slim edge to Repugs in Congress. Don’t believe the propaganda!
It works a LOT better if we all go together and for the same reason. They've thrown it all into chaos and it's hard to fight that, like grabbing $1 bills in the wind. We want the treasury not the chum. They want to take ALL the $ in the safety net to pay for their tax cuts. Focus efforts!
While you are organizing (or finding) a protest group. You can call your reps and leave a message. You don't even have to know who they are, put in your zip code and this will find them! If you pass it on to friends, Congress will know WE ARE WATCHING THEM! https://5calls.org/getting-started/
Sure go for it if it makes you feel better. But, remember, millions of women in the streets wearing pink pussy hats accomplished nothing. People still don't know why it happened.
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!
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
AOC lays out a roadmap in this video, and it sounds like it will be the first of many videos with calls to action.
Today’s action- Call your senators and make sure they’re voting no and blocking confirmation of trumps nominees. The key is to slow MAGA down on every front. https://youtu.be/CVgNJf6CsBA?si=xKhO_Imw9_J8OuGi
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.
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 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!! 👍🏼✊🏼👏🏻
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.

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
Sign up for POLITICuaUSA SUBSTACK. There a good reach there from various independent reporters , and politicians saying what they are doing to fight back.
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.
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
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.
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.

Neither trump nor Elon will ever give up power again...

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.
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.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act#:~:text=The%20Senate%20passed%20the%20final,law%20on%20December%2022%2C%202017.
A few Republicans dissented & did not vote for the tax plan for one reason or another.
NO Democrat voted for this plan.

If you just want to generally get more involved, consider becoming an active member of your local DSA chapter.
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?

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!
I the only one thinking about this?
If there are any writers / producers you could work with to take this and compact the most valuable and important points to 10 minutes of equally accessible content, that would be 100x as powerful.
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?
Now do something.

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.
Dear USians, your pension funds are against #DEI :
#Vanguard #BlackRock #StateStreet
They support the companies that DO NOT support #DEI Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
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.

No such system exists or can be created by humans. You will never not have to fight for your rights. Tough.
It's bad reading or bad faith to accuse you of having said that you meant that only white people have those problems.
All "rights"* for EVERYONE are contingent even if not everybody faces the same daily struggle to exercise them.
*no such thing actually exists
You do you, fella.
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.

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.
It would be epic!
https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/08/politics/elon-musk-doge-treasury-payment-system/index.html
But even if there were elections, the US has shown that it is too racist and misogynistic for that ticket to stand a chance. They are both great, but we have to be realistic. AOC would need a white, male running mate.
Kinsenger/AOC as a cross-the-aisle ticket?
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.

4). Exchange funds as they come in for this crypto
5). Send the money elsewhere.
