I'm tempted to join Twitter just to give her my falafel recipe, learned from a Coptic neighbor decades ago, and refined over the intervening years (protip: use a 50/50 blend of chickpeas and peeled fava beans). The responses to her post are so sweet and wholesome, she has a nice community of fans, many of whom appear to be fantastic cooks. It's weird how such a wholesome, caring woman could be porttayed as a Stalinist menace by a bunch of hypocritical faux-Christians. Even better, Representative Ocasio-Cortez has proved to be a more effective advocate for Texas residents than their own senators (I'm looking at Fled Cruz, in particular). While they have been AWOL or MIA, AOC has raised money for relief for beleaguered Texans:Ok everyone, I need help!

A few weeks ago I told @RepRaskin that this year I wanted to adopt a vegetarian diet for Lent in memory of his son Tommy.
Jamie said, “Well you’d have to do it the way Tommy would, which means bring people along with you!” ☺️
So, I have 3 requests:
She still had time to take the creep to the woodshed, in her typical 'raised in the internet age' fashion:Wow.

We officially raised $1 million for Texas relief at 9:17pm.
Thank you all so much. 🙏🏽 I’m at a loss for words. Always in awe of movement work.
💯% of this relief is going straight to Texan food assistance, homelessness relief, elder care, and more. https://t.co/DSkTSqfbkZ
Sure, 'Don't Mess With Texas', an anti-littering campaign slogan, has become a meme, but the real takeaway here is 'Don't Mess With the Bronx'.If Sen. Cruz had resigned back in January after helping gin up a violent insurrection that killed several people, he could’ve taken his vacation in peace. Texans should continue to demand his resignation.

But don’t blame me for this, my points are on Amtrak! 🚊 https://t.co/CAWCgtxQ73

Magnificent post about a magnificent person!
She really is a remarkable individual, and I hope to follow her career for years to come.
Thank you from the bottom of my Texas born and bred heart, AOC! Thanks also, Beto! Texas is going to go blue. It is inevitable. The people must be protected.
I admit that I have, at times, been critical of AOC.
But I will also admit that there are times when I have to say that my respect for her has gone up quite a few notches and I that I am deeply impressed.
This is one of those times, and there will be more. She has a great future ahead of her in politics (which is probably why the GOP hates her so much).
Bravo, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

I'd love to know how many voters now wish they'd voted for Beto.

She's smart, she's good hearted, and she's worked her way up from a working-class life, she will be a game-changer of a politician throughout her career.
I enjoyed readding this
