Is the US ready for President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
"For Ocasio-Cortez, two potential futures—kids and higher office—braid together, because of course they do. That is not surprising for so many of us in the face of aging, careers, and prohibitively expensive fertility procedures."
bdyguy.bsky.social56This is none of my business, but if it explodes the heads of some republicans, I thank her for sharing.
POV44For the love of God, her eggs are NOT news. NOT. With all the important issues in the world, her eggs are not among them.
Gayle24She recognizes females and women’s choices and options. She recognizes the power of women at the polls. She knows how she was treated from the day she arrived in Congress and she wants better for the future. I hope she gets what she wants and what she’s earned.
LouFromBoston13This is a private matter and should be a non-story. Let’s focus on winning the Senate and the House this November. Not look ahead to 2028. First things first.
WendyTSRQ11The way the MAGA-sphere is frothing at this it would seem they've forgotten that Cankles campaigned saying he would be the IVF champion. Though in fairness I guess we should acknowledge that Cankles has forgotten too.
Dean (he/him)10If this was a man it would be a non issue. Even Karoline Leavitt’s husband, Nicholas Riccio is 60, and just had a new baby. He’s decades older than AOC! #Family #EqualRights #GenderEquality
Will Beaman10Good piece. The fact that she is splitting the pro-natalist movement along gendered lines is really important. Any time you can get people who understand own identity in rigid and exclusive terms—in this case motherhood—to think about it more capaciously, you're undoing far right coalitions.
Carlye Hooten4"... anger from men on the right underscores how deeply ignorant they are about the acute challenges many people of reproductive age face in considering fertility and climbing professional ladders. And yes, that includes all the way up to the White House."
AOC is easily the most popular Democrat in Washington, but the Democrats' experience with failed women presidential candidates leads to hesitancy. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Christine Justice5I wish we had Bernie twice. Went with the chosen D. The Fighting Oligarchy tour brought people together. There is distrust in Citizens United. SCOTUS has 6 corrupted judges. Russian assets in 3 branches. Christofascist and Zionism that are pro genocide. So much evil vs. baby steps of progress.
Rick Stewart2Democratic leadership has been a lesson in cowardice for years. It will be women that will give us back our representative government.
Stabatha2This country is not going to elect a woman and ESPECIALLY not a brown woman. The misogyny and racism runs just way too deep. And if it were only contained within the Republican Party, I would tell you that maybe there's a chance ... but it's not.
