You just called Ocasio-Cortez a nitwit. She was the one who let it slip that this woman is risking deportation.

"Democratic process" LOL! Where is security? These paid actors shouldn't be allowed to get anywhere near senators

you shouldn't go anywhere near sharp objects if you think the following means Ocasio-Cortez claimed she's an illegal

“Ana Maria Archila is from our district, is from Queens,” Ocasio-Cortez, prompting a round of applause. “In fact, she is an immigration activist, which just goes to show intersectionality and how interwoven all of these fights are. Because she is putting everything on the line and risking deportation … not even for a direct immigration action but for the action of all survivors. And that’s how we need to be. We need to be championing the causes of our neighbors. That is what creates power and movement, coalition building.”


and you certainly are not an American if you think people shouldn't confront senators.

you trying to argue that somehow this exchange degraded democracy makes you look very very very foolish.

I'm so confused... a week ago, all we heard about was about seeking justice for a "sexual assault victim" and were told nonstop that she needed to be heard and believed.

Now that there is no further political use for the supposed "victim", she and her story have completely disappeared from the news and all those who were sooooo 'deeply concerned", are suddenly not concerned anymore and aren't demanding justice for a "sexual assault victim".

Strange.

Almost as if... you know, it was an obvious and transparent political stunt that not only ran it's course, but completely backfired.

The truly comical thing???

Muh Russia!

Gone from the news cycle entirely.

I guess you can't successfully simultaneously attack FBI investigations as being a flawed partisan sham when they aren't in your interests and at the same time defend them and their integrity when they are.

you think the #metoo movement is over?

you think the Mueller investigation is over?

Did I say anything to suggest that "I think the Mueller investigation is over"?

No.

but now that you mention it, this is kinda funny.... :)

So she's a citizen who might get deported? :1orglaugh

Dynamo, those women were being paid to go harass senators. You may believe in mob rule but that's simply not how democracy works.

https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...2b&oe=5C57DDEA

it's completely insane how people are pushing for and defending mob rule because they keep losing elections.

which is more important to you, the investigation or the news cycle of the investigation?

again, she's not an illegal or trump would have ICE deport her ASAP. think before you post.

she's otr stating she was not paid and besides, you completely fail to grasp the simple fact that what those women did in no way harmed our democracy. that's what's so fucking nutty about you and your side. You won but you still whine. You yap about how wonderful trump has made everything but you still whine.

finally, you think civil disobedience isn't a part of American democracy. why am I even talking to you. jtfc.

guys, you can't hang out on GFY arguing politics and then claim someone who legally makes a living being a political ACTIVist is disengenous and to make it worse, therefor, isn't a rape victim.

The only ones allowed to profit from politics are just the politicians??

I know you prefer memes over more powerful sources, but here's some American History for you to read:::::::::::


The classic treatise on Civil Disobedience is Henry David Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience," which states that when a person's conscience and the laws clash, that person must follow his or her conscience. The stress on personal conscience and on the need to act now rather than to wait for legal change are recurring elements in civil disobedience movements.

The U.S. Bill of Rights asserts that the authority of a government is derived from the consent of the governed, and whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right and duty of the people to alter or abolish it.


Throughout the history of the U.S., civil disobedience has played a significant role in many of the social reforms that we all take for granted today. Some of the most well known of these are:

1) The Boston Tea Party -- citizens of the colony of Massachusetts trespassed on a British ship and threw its cargo (tea from England) overboard, rather than be forced to pay taxes without representation to Britain. This was one of the many acts of civil disobedience leading to the War for Independence, establishing the United States of America as a sovereign state.

2) Anti-war movements have been a part of U.S. history since Thoreau went to jail for refusing to participate in the U.S. war against Mexico in 1849. More recent examples were the nationwide protests against the war in Viet Nam, U.S involvement in Nicaragua and Central America, and the Gulf War. Actions have included refusal to pay for war, refusal to enlist in the military, occupation of draft centers, sit-ins, blockades, peace camps, and refusal to allow military recruiters on high school and college campuses.

3) The Women's Suffrage Movement lasted from 1848 until 1920, when thousands of courageous women marched in the streets, endured hunger strikes, and submitted to arrest and jail in order to gain the right to vote.

4) Abolition of slavery -- including Harriet Tubman's underground railway, giving sanctuary, and other actions which helped to end slavery.

5) The introduction of labor laws and unions. Sit-down strikes organized by the IWW, and CIO free speech confrontations led to the eradication of child labor and improved working conditions, established the 40-hour work week and improved job security and benefits.

6) The Civil Rights Movement, led by Martin Luther King, Jr. and others, included sit-ins and illegal marches which weakened segregation in the south.

7) The Anti-Nuclear Movement, stimulated by people like Karen Silkwood and the Three Mile Island nuclear power accident, organized citizens throughout the country into direct action affinity groups, with consensus decision making and Gandhian nonviolence as its core. Massive acts of civil disobedience took place at nuclear power facilities across the country, followed by worldwide protests against first-strike nuclear weapons, occupying military bases, maintaining peace camps, interfering with manufacture and transport of nuclear bombs and devices, marching, sitting in, blockading and otherwise disrupting business as usual at nuclear sites.

8) Environmental and forest demonstrations, with acts of civil disobedience such as sit-ins, blockades, tree sits and forest occupations, have emerged in the last decade, prompted by the continuing mass clear cuts and destruction of the forest ecosystem and widespread environmental consequences.

Chump who is a paid russian stooge thinks all the women are paid protestors
