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.
Not a bad start tbh. Will it cost you? Yes, it absolutely will, but showing the fascists that they are a target is important. You need them to be scared for their life. If they know they may very well be killed for what they’re doing, they aren’t going to do it. None of the fascists in charge of the american government will ever actually be prepared to risk anything, 'cause they have never in their lives ever risked anything. Everything they’ve ever done has been completely free.
Pretty fucking easy to say from the sidelines. Frankly your comment is unhinged. You’re literally saying I should just go out and kill a politician. Don’t even have the common sense to think about some sort of concrete end game here, just spread fear and terror and somehow that’ll win the day.
Ask Luigi how that’s worked out. Really shook up healthcare that one.
I’m not saying you have to do anything, I’m saying that if someone doesn’t, democracy is over in USA and everyone who isn’t a straight white man is in danger of being enslaved or murdered. That’s not hyperbole either, that is exactly what has happened before, by the very people the fascists in charge are worshipping.
Now I really don’t understand what action you’re expecting me to take.

Let’s see if it actually passes though.
The name alone clearly signals that this is meant to be PR, not an actual functional bill
