Say what now?

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a favorite target of many of President Donald Trump's supporters. They frequently decry her as idiotic, lambast her Green New Deal proposal, and eagerly await the chance to pounce on a perceived infraction.

But there are exceptions to every rule—and two of them left a sign outside her office before speaking with her briefly.


The Congresswoman detailed the interaction in a recent Twitter thread.

It's easy to imagine her bafflement. She and Donald Trump are diametric ideological opposites in an increasingly divided country.

More and more Americans are acknowledging the reality of the climate crisis, but lawmakers have repeatedly failed to pass adequate legislation to curtail it.

Many of the Congresswoman's Twitter followers began commending her.

Others were skeptical and followed the typical pattern of mocking her, but that clearly hasn't lessened her conviction yet.

Republicans falsely accused Democrats of seeking to extend healthcare to undocumented immigrants.

Harry Potter star unapologetically woke

The Harry Potter fandom breathed a collective sigh of relief when our favorite Herbology professor, Miriam Margolyes, reaffirmed her “unapologetically woke” status on Ireland’s The Late Late Show with Patrick Kielty.

Appearing on the The Late Late Show last Saturday, the Age of Innocence and Harry Potter star reminded audiences why she remains one of the most fearless voices in entertainment.

People Are Calling Out Exactly Why The Inflatable Frog Protesters In Portland Are So Effective

How do you counter a false narrative from someone as powerful as the President of the United States? Some protesters in Portland, Oregon, may have figured out the answer.
