It’s a Midnight Creep - a diverse spider dance party! But will this secret ritual be discovered when the spiders hear someone wake? Would you want to stay up late to find out? #PBPitch #POC #I

"While the gala is known for its spectacle, we should have a conversation about it. .. and carry the message into a wealthy space" @AOC And she did that, especially among people who may not've heard of this ostentatious event (more like the The Capital from The Hunger Games). 👏🏽

Everyone is talking about “Tax The Rich” because of AOC’s stunt at a gala full of the people she was targeting, where she was invited for free in a free dress… to back up her actual legitimate work on this issue in Congress, and you’re all angry/confused as to why she did it?

I had a friend ask is it the same power Dutton used for the au pairs to be allowed to be freed from detention and granted a visa based on “public interest” that could be used to free the #hometobilo family? The answer is YES. Priorities. Right? abc.net.au/news/2018-09-1…
