Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram after the Department of Homeland Security suggested they may pursue arrests of three Democratic lawmakers who partook in a protest outside of an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Rob Menendez (D-NJ) and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) all attended the protest.

    there already is a ton of problems. she’s toothless and a moron. her party is nothing more than republican-light these days anyway.

    we need actual changes.

      I’ll admit she phrased this poorly but she’s one of the best representatives we’ve got on our side. What’s your plan?

        My plan is to vote for folks who are not democrat or republican; as they both support exploitation, financial instability, genocide, and general capitalist concerns.

        All things that are destructive to working class people. Some more than others, of course.

            yes, she’s also tacitly approved them, waited until she could test the waters, and all of that before “coming out.”

            which says to me she had no real opinion other than “that which fits within the overton window of today.”

            the same with RFKJR, “switching” parties. the same with Biden, claiming to be pro union… yet making it illegal for those rail workers to strike…

            democrats are evil obfuscated. republicans are evil without obfuscation.

            the problem is not the party. it is the system.
