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.

    What? You don’t have a problem already? Stop drawing lines. They’ve already crossed enough of them.

      Look for a video Hasan Piker posted on IG. He explains that customs agents ask him if he had ever said anything wrong against Trump. That’s a sign we’re already in a dictatorship. You can call it fascism but it’s a dictatorship where you can’t say anything wrong against the supreme leader or you get punished for it. CBP agents asking if someone has ever said anything against Trump is a sign of dictatorship.

        Absolutely. I feel like it reminds me of some dystopian show, asking people on their visit if they’ve engaged in anti-XYZ person activities etc. Hasan is a scumbag for his worship of russia, but he is right this time. This is a dictatorship, and it’s spreading fast.

    If the trump admin goes after congress members, they’re going after the Squad first so most democrats will be on board.

      Democrats are the Leopards Eating Faces Party, Republicans are Let Leopards Run Free Without Regulation Party.

      Every time they give Republicans an inch, they’ll take a mile. And then publicly cry “Giving them a mile was a mistake, we wanna walk back a foot!”

      If AOC is targeted, wanna bet enough Democrats vote yes to remove/arrest her in appeasement of Trump, thinking they’ll be saved?

    You had had a problem for decades. Stop pretending there’s some red line that you won’t allow them to cross.

      She’s great- but she’s not the revolutionary leader you need to do what’s necessary. She’s the person you need AFTERWARD to pick up the pieces.
