She’s not wrong. But she should be careful. She has a Hispanic-sounding name and brown skin. Key demographic to get deported (without trial) to a concentration camp ala’ trump.
EDIT: I didn’t mean “be careful” as in “don’t say these things,” I agree with you all-she should DEFINITELY say these things. I mean “be careful” as in “don’t walk to your car unattended, answer the door without checking, talk to police, or take any meetings with someone you don’t know.” - that sort of careful.
I'm actually happy that she's willing to take the risk.
We wouldn't be here if more people had taken risks before now.
Looking at you judge Juan Merchan. Capitulation doesn't protect you from fascists.
We need more people prepared to not be careful. Being careful means acquiescing to oppression in silence. Real resistance means taking risks.

I don't think she should be careful. If anything, being as loud as possible and staying in the public eye is what all Democrats should be doing. Because if they do start deporting people that actually speak the truth everyone will know when and how it happens. You can't hide it and they can't effectively make a move against her that won't be seen by the entire world. And I think it's a sign that we all need to start doing this. If we're loud and seen instead of raging behind our phone screens it's a lot harder for people to just disappear.
Exactly. We are in this mess because the Democrats and the media immediately declared an obviously rigged election to be "fair & square" the moment it was over. Being smug about the "peaceful transfer of power" was more important to those weak cowards than protecting America from being destroyed by vicious Nazi traitors.
What's your evidence it wasn't fair and square? I mean actual sources, not the previously generalized high-level accusations like "they faked the vote count". I'd be very interested to see them.
You mean actual verified facts like hundreds of thousands of people being purged from roles in shithole red states by the fascist traitors?
Or do you mean like when the traitor himself said that Elon was "really good with the voting machines in Pennsylvania"?
Or "we don't really need your votes"?
Something a little more concrete than contextualized public statements or the well known tactics of voter roll purges and gerrymandering, etc.
Like vote tallies not matching or something like that.
Gerrymandering does not apply to presidential elections.
They absolutely illegally purged enough voters to steal the election.
Cool - whatcha got? S.o.S. links?
I mean it's common knowledge. Not my fault you lack it.
Common, just not supported with any hard evidence.
I’d love to see the evidence is all i’m saying.
Educate yourself is all I'm saying. Not my job.
It's quite obvious that's not your end goal here though.
My “end goal” is to get the evidence.
I highly suspect it, have no doubt laws were broken, but that and $6 will get me a fancy coffee.
Sounds like you don’t have the evidence either. Which, is understandable if there isn’t any.

Oh yeah, definitely. I just want her to be safe but also not back down even a little bit. She's making waves and needs to continue to do so.
She's literally part of the organizations that should be taking action. It's not supposed to be our job. Senators and representatives are the ones paid to be the checks and balances. The bar has been set so low now that someone in the government saying what is going on is wrong is seen as a win. The bar is buried underground at this point.
it's tripping hazard in hell, but democrats have convince everyone that it's okay because it's a dry heat.
We are the managers. And, well, we've been pretty slack.
Too much buck pushing in the good ol USA. It is, in fact, our civic duty to be active citizens that hold our elected representatives accountable. Our continual evasion of this responsibility is a large part of what landed us here.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that a large portion of the "not our job" folks were the same ones wholly blaming the Russian people for not hanging Putin in the town square.
We've lost all sense of duty and honor in favor of the almighty dollar in this country. Yes, our representatives should be holding Trump accountable, but we the people voted his tired, rapist ass back into office.

Ah, ok. Well that makes sense. I'm sure that she's already taking precautions because who knows when Ben Shapiro or Elon Musk are going to show up and try to steal her shoes.
lol
if she is detained and deported i will literally disown every relative of mine in the US if they dont actively riot.
Fuck that fearmongering shit.
AOC rocks, and everybody who talks like her rocks.
