As Democrats scour for new leadership, AOC emerges as Bernie 2.0 – Deseret News
“If you look at her favorability among Democrats, she’s very popular across the board,” Brad Bannon, a Democratic strategist, told the Deseret News. “It’s not just young people; it’s just not progressives.”
On top of all that, she’s filling stadiums for rallies nationwide — even in red states.
“This movement isn’t about partisan labels or purity tests,” Ocasio-Cortez told the crowd at the Huntsman Center. “But it is about class solidarity.”
The pair are closely aligned on several policy issues that have become central to the progressive base. But they aren’t as popular among Democrats at large, which could threaten Ocasio-Cortez’s reach to more moderate corners of the party.
For example, Ocasio-Cortez has long championed policies such as the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, student debt cancellation, and universal child care — proposals that have raised some eyebrows as being too expensive and politically risky.
Those same policy stances are what caused Sanders’ failure to garner more support for his 2016 and 2020 presidential bids as they posed electability concerns. These policy positions could raise similar obstacles for Ocasio-Cortez.
🐮💩⤴️
“I think it’s obvious that their visits are not about flipping seats. I mean they’re touring off of an election year,” Erika Cunningham, 26, who attended the Salt Lake City rally in her hometown, told the Deseret News. “Their goals are to shift the political landscape over time while also meeting people where they’re at across the entire country, not just in ‘safe’ blue areas. They represent a model of politics rooted in conviction to the greater cause versus convenience.”
Although Democrats lack a central party leader, there are a few lawmakers who voters say best reflect their values — with Ocasio-Cortez leading the pack.
What is the point of trying to establish the legal precedent for deporting American citizens? Without trial and for accusations of small crimes?
To create a pearly white, Christian supremacist, Ethno-State. One where women are virtually property, brownish people are imported slave labor, and gay people and the nuerodivergent are eliminated with eugenics. Israel is the blue print and Trump is the means. And if that requires making an income or property requirement to vote, they will do it.
- A Christian Nationalist state is worth any atrocities to establish. God will forgive all sins committed in his name.
- They are the chosen people and must purge all non-chosen people from this land.
- Since they are the chosen people anything they do wrong will be forgiven.
- Rich people are especially blessed by god and should be in charge, should be deferred to, should not be subject to the law, which is reserved to correct the transgressions of the poor.
I believe everything you say is correct except for them believing in a god other than themselves.
I know they, the evil fucks running this country, have been talking about putting US citizens in CECOT. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there have already been US citizens "accidentally" sent there. But I have not heard of a test case yet. Have they already done this?
I wouldn't be surprised if a US version of the Great Firewall is eventually put up, so that the government can control the flow of information with an iron fist. :/
SO fucking VILE and DISGUSTING!! This person kept referring to another child as the n-word and she is getting support from so-called "good people" who probably claim to be "Christian." #FuckMaga #Racist #Shameful #Disgusting #RacismIsAlive #ChristianNationalism
they are not Christians. They are white racists, clear cut, without any resemblance of having shred of belief in teachings of Jesus Christ. USA is only country in the world who have allowed this to fester unchallenged. You did not finish job after civil war. Thus results.
I was wondering why things are so noisy in the 460-470 MHz band. :P
The 460-470 MHz band is allocated to the non-Federal fixed and land mobile radio services on primary basis and to the Federal meteorological-satellite (space-to-earth) service on a secondary basis. The Federal agencies use this band (subject to mutual agreement and coordination with non-Federal users) for land mobile radio communication systems that are shared with State and local public safety partnering agencies for mutual aid responses, such as fire fighting, disaster preparedness, and law enforcement operations. On a secondary basis, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) downlink in this band. Medical radiocommunications and telemetry equipment also operates in this band.

Luigi Mangione wants state murder case dropped, arguing double jeopardy
They called the dual state and federal cases, plus a third in Pennsylvania involving gun possession and other charges, “unprecedented prosecutorial one-upmanship.” They said prosecutors ”are trying to get two bites at the apple to convict Mr. Mangione" of murder.
“Yet, despite the gravest of consequences for Mr. Mangione, law enforcement has methodically and purposefully trampled his constitutional rights,” his lawyers wrote. They allege officers questioned him without telling him he had a right to remain silent and searched his property without a warrant.

"Suppliers are not permitted to include tariff-related costs in invoices without prior authorization by Albertsons Companies," Alberstons continued. "Any invoices that include such charges without prior authorization will be subject to dispute and may result in payment delays."
It remains unclear how the company’s suppliers have reacted to the new policy or how they plan to absorb the additional costs.

![One woman caught in the net
The policy only began on Monday and, as is often the case with new policies, police on the streets have been improperly implementing it. One woman told Streetsblog she was swept up in a sting, even though she was riding a regular bike and hadn't broken the law.
The woman, who asked to remain anonymous due to her pending court case, got one of the new criminal court summonses for running a red light on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, even though she entered the intersection on the pedestrian signal, which has been legal since 2019.
"I know for a fact I definitely went through that walk signal," the cyclist said.
She was riding uptown when cops drove up in their squad car and dangerously swung in front of her and into the bike lane. The officers gave her a ticket with a court appearance for failing to obey a red light.
She said she even showed the officers the city's own website that specifically says riders can legally "go with the walk."
"He kind of just shrugged," she told Streetsblog. "[I] realized I’m pretty much a guinea pig in this new pilot program."](https://f.kawa-kun.com/photo/preview/640/2872204 "One woman caught in the net
