We are entering new and dangerous terrain for the right to protest in Britain, in which freedoms of expression and assembly — the basis of any functioning democracy — are being threatened.

So far the Democrats are all over the place but there are a few who have found their voices. I wrote about Chris Murphy’s excellent twitter videos the other day. But no one does it like AOC. The following is from Evan Hurst at Wonkette: This week AOC, as she is known in the world of initials, hopped on Insta Live, and it sounds like she’s going to do it every week in this new era, maybe more.

And I don’t know what side people may be on today, but I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis. And I will do that until I am six feet in the ground. Like, kind of foundational to me as a human being.
