    This is the Democratic Party that I like , she is so good ;

    “ This is the best thing I've seen in forever. Rep. Ayanna Pressley was NOT taking any crap from these GOP shit-stains.

    Mad respect to you, Ma'am. We have to keep these fiery, bold attacks on the evil MAGA agenda up. Please share this everywhere.”

  6. What public figure do you disagree with the most?

    The Squad. Four politicians who somehow turned Twitter discourse into an entire governing philosophy. Humanity really looked at cable news food fights and said, “yes, let’s elect the comment section.” Still, if I’m picking the public figures I disagree with the most, it’s probably Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib as a collective political force. Not because they’re loud. Politics has always been loud. Not because they’re progressive. America has room for every ideology short of “maybe raccoons should run the IRS.” It’s because they often seem more interested in performance than practical outcomes.

    Back in the 90s tech era, there was this unspoken engineering rule: if your system crashes every ten minutes, it doesn’t matter how flashy the interface looks. Function mattered. Stability mattered. Results mattered. You could have the coolest glowing CGI intro on your website, complete with MIDI music and “under construction” GIFs spinning like a slot machine designed by caffeine addicts, but if the page took four minutes to load on a 56k modem, people bailed. Politics feels similar now. The Squad mastered the aesthetics of outrage culture before most politicians even understood the internet had escaped AOL chatrooms.

    What frustrates me is the substitution of slogans for systems. Real governance is ugly, tedious work. It’s database maintenance for civilization. Nobody claps when the infrastructure patch installs correctly. Nobody trends hashtags over balanced budgets or functional transit systems. But that’s the actual job. The Squad often approaches politics like social media firmware updates pushed directly into public consciousness without regression testing. Every issue becomes a moral spectacle, every disagreement gets framed as existential warfare, and compromise gets treated like corrupted code.

    The bigger issue is how this style infected everybody else. Republicans became more theatrical. Democrats became more theatrical. Cable news became an endless loop of emotional overclocking. The political operating system now runs entirely on engagement metrics. Rage is profitable. Nuance dies instantly because nuance doesn’t fit into a viral clip squeezed between ads for erectile dysfunction medication and reverse mortgages. Civilization built the Information Age and somehow used it mostly to scream at strangers holding fish-eye phone cameras in parking lots.

    I also think The Squad represents a broader misunderstanding of economics and human behavior. You can’t simply declare idealism into existence. Incentives matter. Markets matter. Human beings are irrational little goblins who will absolutely exploit loopholes if you leave them open long enough. Any political worldview that ignores trade-offs eventually collapses under its own weight like an overclocked Pentium processor with no cooling fan. Sparks everywhere. Smell of melted plastic. Entire room smelling like regret.

    That said, disagreement isn’t hatred. I don’t think these women are evil. I think they sincerely believe they’re improving the country. Intent matters. But good intentions alone are how you end up with software updates that delete entire hard drives because someone skipped quality assurance testing at 2 AM after six energy drinks and a motivational TED Talk.

    The deeper problem is that modern politics rewards emotional branding more than competence. The Squad didn’t create that culture. They optimized for it better than almost anyone else. And honestly, that’s the most terrifying part.

  7. The bill that #AyannaPressley and her colleagues in the House just passed is unlikely to pass in the Senate. Even if it does #DonaldTrump is going to veto it, and there isn't nearly a veto-proof majority for this bill in either the House or the Senate. This bill will not become law.
    As usual, Pressley's politics are more about performance and self-aggrandizement than about actually getting shit done that matters.

  8. I continue to be appalled by #MAPoli member of #Congress #AyannaPressley's ongoing failure to rise to the moment.
    Let's talk about her newsletter to constituents today: iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet
    There literally isn't a single word in it about what #DonaldTrump and the #GOP are doing and what she's doing about it.
    We're in an existential fight to save our democracy, and Pressley does not think it important to ensure her constituents are informed about it.

  9. We can take action today to turn back the tide of injustice. #AyannaPressley

  10. Democrats demand answers from Trump on ‘unprecedented assault’ on DEI in new letter

    A group of progressive Democrats in Congress is demanding answers from President Donald Trump on his “unprecedented assault”…

  11. #AyannaPressley's antics at the #HouseOversightCommittee today are quite embarrassing. I can't imagine that #Massachusetts voters who saw that clip felt anything other than scathing second-hand embarrassment.

    #CSPANRadio
  12. I challenge you to find a single concrete thing that #AyannaPressley accomplished in 2025 to slow the advance of fascism, judging from *her own description* of her so-called "accomplishments".
    She talked a lot.
    That's all.
    I suppose I'll give her credit for one tiny thing: she voted in favor of releasing the Epstein files. Good on her.
    But it's not nearly enough.

  13. FYI, if you live in #upstate #NewYork, our #Vermont #CongressCritter #BeccaBalint is going to be holding a #TownHall meeting in #GlensFalls this Friday. She'll be joined with Congressman #PaulTonko and Congresswoman #AyannaPressley to make sure the people of #EliseStefanik's district can get their questions answered on what the Republican budget law means for all of us. Aug. 22, 5-7:15pm. More info here: mobilize.us/indivisibleadksara

  15. This is absolutely outrageous. 🤬During a hearing on #SanctuaryCities today, Republican #JamesComer of #Kentucky refuses to let Democrat Congresswoman #AyannaPressley of #Massachusetts to enter into the record an article correctly reporting that US citizens commit #crimes far in excess of crimes committed by #immigrants. He refuses to even allow her to enter the title of the article. This is #censorship. This is #oppression. This is #WhiteMaleSupremacy. F*** Comer & f*** #HouseRepublicans.

  16. My #CongressPerson #AyannaPressley's Town Hall call called *me* this evening - out of the blue, I hadn't signed up for anything - so, just calling random constituents?

    This isn't a complaint - it was just a surprise!

    It was kind of interesting, and of course alarming given...whatever tf all this is. Sounds like she's really trying to hold onto democracy. Also somewhat frustrating because the R's kept calling for votes so she had to go back and forth.

  17. I just got a voicemail from Ayanna Pressley saying she was having a town hall meeting, but it didn't offer a way to join it.

    Does anyone have the call in info?

  18. “The Democrats on more than one occasion have tried to make the case that we’re the adults in the room, but the American people don’t always think we’re the fighters in the room,” Rep #AyannaPressley said. “And that’s often because we have the power but don’t use it. Scared power is no power at all. And President #Biden has the power.”

  19. #POTUS has also faced pressure to help those imprisoned for crimes associated w/crack cocaine who would be free if the drug had been powder cocaine. As a senator, Biden worked on the 1986 legislation that imposed those sentencing disparities. He has since expressed regret for his role.

    Rep #AyannaPressley, Democrat of MA, said in an interview this month that choosing not to take action on clemency would pose a political risk for Democrats.

  20. Omg, #ayannapressley came into the #Harris South Fulton GA HQ. We’ve got high hopes for tonight!!!!

  21. The hearing will rely in part on the work of the Stop #Project2025 Task Force started by Reps #JaredHuffman (D-CA) & #AyannaPressley (D-MA) earlier this summer. The group launched a confidential tip line on Thurs morning to solicit info from the public or those w/knowledge of Project 2025’s plan for a transition to a 2nd #Trump presidency. Huffman said lawmakers will share any tips they receive in future hearings, some of which could take place in different parts of the country.

  22. OY! Primaries and runoffs in the #USAShitShow , many with Republicans galore!

    I was going to boost a vid about it, but that vid had some CBS News wanker named Scott McFarland posing as a journo, who obviously has an anti-Bowman bias, last I checked, so I didn't bother.

    Corporate media, political systems, corporations, neolibs, far right politicians, those who are greedy and wealthy always seem to be a pack of dystopia-worshippers always on the wrong side of humanity and common sense.

    So, here's this vid

  24. @notroot tell me about it. The fact that Representative #AyannaPressley’s panic alarm buttons in her congressional office had been ripped out on #Jan6 so when she & her staff were hiding in there while insurgents were breaking into the Capitol building & she tried to alert security…, why hasn’t there been a huge investigation into that???
