@aoc.bsky.social always spitting facts! One of the few public servants who walks the walk, and talks the talk.
AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Welcome to my new series, “Required Reading for a Trump Presidency”.
We are off to a strong start with “The Diary of Anne Frank” by Anne Frank.
In light of a terrifying display of Nazi gestures at the inauguration by Elon Musk, this one feels necessary.

Communities will be torn apart. Your hairdresser, your neighbor, your friend from church, the nice lady who plays pickleball at the local court, the little boy riding his bike down your street. They could all be gone due to harmful policies and we will all pay for it.
Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.

He can sign all the executive orders he wants, but they will be challenged, and not all of them will go through. Don’t forget this!
A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.
