Hell, I think she's cute.

Doesn't mean she's always right.

But at least she does the job, unlike some of the Republicant's.
I agree with that sentiment when it comes to the Republicans who can't seem to get their shit together, but whether she's doing her " job" is quite another thing. I think she's concentrated on things that are of no use to her constituents like inflation, border issues etc., but she's sure loud about racism, islamophobia, transphobia et al which are exaggerated & not worth the paper they're printed on. So I question whether she's really improving the lives of her constituents. I'm not too sure about that. Just sayin....

Left-wing firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is revealing her horrifying battle after discovering raunchy AI-generated deepfake porn images of herself.


The Democratic diva told Rolling Stone she discovered the disturbing images while scrolling through X. AOC said she was performing sex acts in the shocking image.


“There’s a shock to seeing images of yourself that someone could think are real,” AOC told the music magazine. “As a survivor of physical sexual assault, it adds a level of dysregulation. It resurfaces trauma, while I’m trying to … in the middle of a f***ing meeting.”

The bogus image of AOC performing oral sex stayed with her for the rest of the day, she said. “There are certain images that don’t leave a person, they can’t leave a person.”

She added: “It’s not as imaginary as people want to make it seem. It has real, real effects not just on the people that are victimized by it, but on the people who see it and consume it. And once you’ve seen it, you’ve seen it.”


AOC likened the raunchy takedown to physical rape.

“Kids are going to kill themselves over this,” she said. “People are going to kill themselves over this.”

Now the 34-year-old former Queens, N.Y. bartender is spearheading a House version of the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits (DEFIANCE) Act of 2024. If passed, the law which would make it easier for victims of nonconsensual AI porn to sue publishers, distributors and consumers of X-rated digital forgeries.

HUH? AOC and Elon Musk? Hardly. Another deepfake. (X)

According to the Daily Mail, deepfake pornography accounted for 98% of all deepfake videos posted online, according to a 2023 study done by Home Security Heroes, a cyber security firm.

“Deepfakes are absolutely a way of digitizing violent humiliation against other people,” AOC said. “It’s so important to me that people understand that this is not just a form of interpersonal violence, it’s not just about the harm that’s done to the victim.


“Because this technology threatens to do it at scale — this is about class subjugation,” she added.

AOC’s AI deepfake proposals have broad bipartisan support, with Republicans Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., backing it.

The progressive pol added: “People increasingly, since the emergence of smartphones, have relied on the internet as a proxy for human experience. And so, if this becomes the primary medium through which people engage the world, at least in this country, then manipulating that becomes manipulating reality.”

AOC mocked for ‘phony’ accent during spirited DNC speech
Author of the article:Denette Wilford

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) speaks onstage during the first day of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center on August 19, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) speaks onstage during the first day of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center on August 19, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.
New York Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez was one of the many speakers at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night.


And while her speech resulted in an escalation of cheers, she earned jeers online — not about her words but how she said them.

The congresswoman was called out for debuting a new accent, which only seemed to get more bizarre the louder the room got.

AOC’s speech was seven-and-a-half minutes but clips of one very specific, very fiery portion in which she targeted former President Donald Trump was widely shared online.

“I, for one, am tired of hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to lift working people from under the boots of greed, trampling on our way of life,” AOC roared, as the camera pans to Jesse Jackson in the audience, looking on in either awe or confusion.

It was the phrase “on our way of life” that made people do a double take, where she either stumbled on her words — or adopted a different accent and extended the word “life” into two syllables.

“What accent is AOC using here?” one person asked on X.



Another added: “Preacher AOC debuting her accent.”

A third user wrote, “AOC speech was cringe. The fake accent was way too much for me. Back snapped. I called it. DNC is cringe as all get out.”

That said, AOC was a hit with Democrats, whose speech was, at times, drowned out by the applause and shouts of support.

“Chicago, we have to help her win,” AOC instructed the crowd. “Because we know that Donald Trump would sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own pockets and greasing the palms of his Wall Street friends.”


The congresswoman, who hails from the Bronx and represents parts of it and Queens, has been accused of putting on fake accents in the past.

In 2019, she was slammed after video surfaced of her speaking with what sounded like a Southern accent while addressing Al Sharpton’s National Action Network conference.

AOC blasted critics at the time, writing on then-Twitter, “Folks talking about my voice can step right off.”

She added: “Any kid who grew up in a distinct linguistic culture and had to learn to navigate class enviros at school/work knows what’s up. My Spanish is the same way.”
