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 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?

          Never have, never will. I’ve become disillusioned with the platitudes that the DNC sells the public. If they want to win, give them something that makes them not consider fascist lies of how they’ll make everything better.

          But instead its means tested, racist, classist solutions that only major revisions to laws and the way a government operates could fix. And no politician wants that.
