yes, i was quite moved at several points i have to sayAye, it's a really good documentary. Have never failed to cry at the end
I may have said it before, but I am interested to see how they maintain the ethos and focus of their movement and campaigns now that they're elected, with all the time away from their district and the pull of national issues (such as impeaching a President, twice ). Certainly not a cynical "oh, they'll sell out" thing, a genuine interest in how they might overcome a real challenge that comes with going to where power is situated, at least in the current system.
“Team AOC is launching relief efforts for Texas starting today,” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted at 5.42pm on Thursday.
Four hours later, at 9.49pm, the Democratic congresswoman tweeted again: “Wow. We officially raised $1 million for Texas relief at 9:17pm. Thank you all so much. I’m at a loss for words. Always in awe of movement work.”
100% of this relief is going straight to Texan food assistance, homelessness relief, elder care, and more.
The astonishing fundraising effort comes after Texas was plunged into an energy and water crises triggered by a brutal cold snap and also demonstrates the growing influence of AOC over politics.
Also, it originated in New York and the canny Scots copied it.1. It's got shitty sweeteners in it these days so that's mostly what it tastes like. 2. there is also a drink called colombiana from Colombia which basically irn bru.
"Gosar posted an anime video last week that depicted him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Joe Biden"
Is she fuck a fan of irn bru. If she was visiting a country where goat anus was the local weird delicacy she'd have chowed that down and pretended she loved it too. It's what politicians do.

no, it isn't.I don't really know anything about AOC but I'm going to dip my toe in.
Firstly - this is a parody thread, right?
no, it isn't.
but it is ner personal account, not her government account
I checked her Twitter for mentions of Russia, Ukraine, NATO or Putin but basically nothing.
Foreign affairs not her strong point?
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is indefensible. The U.S. is right to impose targeted sanctions on Putin & his oligarchs. We also must work with our allies to prepare for a refugee crisis on a massive scale. Finally, any military action must take place with Congressional approval.
This seems clear enough to me:
