I just finished watching Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's video, relating what happened to her on January 6 during the Capitol insurrection, and it just blew me away. You should consider taking the time to watch her forced descent into terror and trauma. Powerful stuff!
Here is a reprint of a Ton of Democracy organizations that you can Contact to see if you can help in any way to Save or Democracy and Constitution.
It’s a huge list :
(copy and send it far and wide . We need Americans to see what they can do from home and participating in March’s in rallies around the country to save our democracy, our constitution and our way of life).
In the face of rising authoritarianism and threats to democratic principles, numerous reputable organizations are actively working to safeguard civil liberties, promote social justice, and counteract fascist ideologies. Below is a curated list of such organizations, along with their contact information, to facilitate your engagement and mobilization efforts:
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
Mission: Defends individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.
15 legitimate and reputable organizations actively working to defend democracy, combat fascism, and oppose authoritarianism—including Trumpism. Each of these groups is engaged in activism, legal action, voter protection, and public education efforts.
1. Ralph Nader’s Public Citizen

AOC speaks so clearly and descriptively. She seems unusual in her thinking and clarity. I love to hear her voice. It rings like a bell. Her explanations are spot on. She’s a great communicator; so much so that I wish I could speak like that. She has great insight. If not President she would be an amazing Sec of State. But first she could be a Senator.
Any and all people whether on the far right or the far left, who would torpedo incremental progress because it’s not the total goal need to realize that incremental progress is all that really sticks and is far better than no progress at all. The hard-liners are the ones keeping us from progress.
I realize AOC's national electoral viability turns off some leftists. Barring some sort of outsider candidate, I just don't see how anyone outside of The Squad brings the type of progressive force that leftists are looking for to that stage. To think AOC could earn the nomination but progressives wouldn't vote for her kind of blows my mind. Maybe I'm coping, but to me, her capitulation to establishment democrats is for show. When push comes to shove I think she would pull through on the issues that matter most.

It’s the day she became our next president
How good one is politically is directly proportional to how much your opponents lie about you. Therefore, AOC is very, very good.
Liberals have to embrace ALL of the constitution, yes that includes 2A! Go watch Bill Burr’s “Drop Dead Years”
I believe she had all the potential to be!

Very inspiring messages from France to Americans…

Yes indeed
Democrats fought Bernie more than they fought Trump.
But Bernie was *family*.
I knew she was destined for the presidency the first time I saw her, like I did when I first heard Obama speak. I'm all in.
I agree that AOC has what it takes! First time I’ve felt encouraged since the Inauguration.
The real question is whether or not we’ll even have a real election ever again. Otherwise love it!!
Unmitigated banger. No further notes.
Generational talent!
AOC is a generational talent. I will be thrilled to support her campaign.
