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.

    If he does that, all solutions should be on the table. Including second amendment solutions.

        Yeah I can’t help but read this headline and think “the line they crossed” was kidnapping people and shipping them off to a Salvadoran concentration camp. Who gives a fuck if they’re representatives, we’re supposed to be a democracy.

          That’s part of the problem with the people of the USA… when a republican does something evil, you guys twist in pretzels to justify it is not quite THAT evil… when someone stands up against evil (I am not going to say Democrats to that but in this case AOC is standing up and she happens to be a democrat) then all the “yes but…” comment start

          This is how I see it:

          • The USA was circling the drain for at least a few decades and now it has been flushed (flushed, it’s done, you are now in the sewer)

          • You now have a small (very small) window to save yourselves from starting WWIII which is the logical outcome when the US economy collapses (they are not going to suddenly say “hey we were wrong” and take it)

          • You should fight not just because it is morally compulsory but because you will suffer greatly personally. If you wait to be in pain (no job, no house, etc) it will be too late, you are already almost too late

          • You need to stop cherry picking the very few people you have that seem to have the bravery and/or smarts to fight back somehow. An imperfect ally is NOT an enemy

          • You need to JOIN the fight

        You. You, the people. Canada is doing it with boycotts which are deeply hurting the US. We didn’t have to be told to do it. Nobody organized. We just did it.

        There is nobody coming to save you so you have to do it yourselves.

      Ok so co bread passes something but what difference will it make. Trump and Co are breaking laws left and right with no consequences. They’re taking bribes, ignoring Judge’s ruling and there are no consequences.

      It’s a a joke at this point.
