AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

It’s not to say all critiques are bad, but some people approach it more as a realm of one-way personal expression than a space to act, grapple, discuss, support, change, and improve. It helps to be grounded. Are real solutions/alternatives offered? Is the expectation perfect or human? Etc

Sometimes people over-personalize choices and certain critiques can come down to a saviorism view of politics. Imagine a chess board well into a game. Your team has far fewer pieces and you are surrounded, but still in it. Your moves are more limited. You can get mad at that, or change the board.

I believe only the author of the bill can invoke the privilege to trigger a vote. I’m not 100% sure why it hasn’t yet. Could be there’s some leverage going on there while DHS is shut down and negotiations are ongoing, but that’s just me speculating. I’m ready to vote. Keep in mind GOP have majority

I think a LOT have been moved to the abolish position. For those wary, it’s usually rooted in 2 things: 1. The word “abolish” 2. When public sentiment snaps back (as it has before) they do not want to be accused of eliminating all enforcement I try to speak to both these points and it’s helpful.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

I also appreciated my conversations with SPD members that see the moment & are pushing for evolution and change. Their position is not easy. No one faction alone can do it & everyone has a role to play. Made me curious about the upside of more precise, cross factional but values based relationships

I appreciated how De Linke has bona fide economists, supported experts, and political leaders to articulate how to enact their prescriptions in the complexities of the real world and markets. People can agree or not but it’s more grounded than a lot of internet-based political culture and grievances

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

I was encouraged by how strongly the sentiment was shared that the right must be defeated. There are real and justified grievances, not to be brushed aside. But the shared sentiment was real. I did not get the same punitive vibe that some have in the US about wanting the right to win out of spite

It was striking how precise the parallels were w/ struggles of US Dems+left. While much discourse focuses on failures of individual leaders, the replication also points to more systemic patterns. Good news: solutions can be replicated. Hard news: needs more than just a new face, but a new approach.

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

One challenge is that pols follow journalists. There is a felt need to counter right-wing narratives that get juiced which MSM then legitimize & amplify from X. As long as legacy media like NYT etc monitor + cite X as public sentiment (which they tell us they do) it is tricky for pols to leave

Kind of niche and specific, but a filtered/separately organized notifications tab really helps for accounts w/ large followings. The pre-musk app used to do this for verified accounts. Tab filtered spam mentions/replies so we can find real people trying to have a convo, see news articles, etc

Apologies for the very Catholic post, but is anyone else cutting screen time or social media for Lent (or has)? Interested in seeing what practices/guidelines/approaches people use when their jobs require them to be pretty online. I’ve heard journalists and pols are the worst with this 😬

AIPAC also knows this. That’s why none of their political ads discuss their actual issue at all and why they use vaguely named Super PACs so people don’t connect them with their own stated political mission and intent.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
