Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seemingly painted a colorful link between getting her nails done and the overturn of Roe v. Wade in her latest Instagram post.
Speaking to her 8.6 million Instagram followers, the progressive firebrand emphasized that there is "no act too small" and encouraged her viewers to search for ways to reclaim lost autonomy even when they feel "powerless."

"Sometimes people will say, ‘There’s nothing I can do, I can’t do, I feel so powerless,'" she said in her Instagram story Friday. “There is no act too small that you can engage in, and even today, I have a personal errand.

Recalling her days as a young woman, Ocasio-Cortez detailed how she grew up in "a very religious environment" and was forbidden from painting her nails red because that could be indicative of being too much of a "loose" woman.
"It was very socially conservative, again, like, to the point where I couldn't really even paint my nails red until I pretty much graduated and left the house because there was just a lot of discussion about how red nails, red lipstick - it's just portrays a kind of a message about the kind of woman that you are.

AOC the Queen of Gibberish
2 years ago 🤪
She’s already scraped the bottom of the stupid barrel
I hope this doesn't need a sarcasm tag!
Powerful women tote their uterus around as if it is a license to kill.
Maybe another jab would make a difference in your little helpless hum drum life ...
Poor wee thing ...
And I think a lot of times, that kind of woman which is ungovernable, it often gets translated to 'loose' — is seen as bad or negative," she said.. . . like Jezebel?
Now that she has come of age, Ocasio-Cortez said she realizes what it means: "powerful women, bold women who do what they deem is best." ...
Can almost hear her laughing as she sings:
“Ask me why my nails aren’t baby blue.
Well, silly you.
They’re bloody red
cuz the baby’s dead.”
What a ditz!
what age group is she appealing to? Obviously they are not old enough to vote.
What a nut job .
I would say she needs to learn to code, but we don’t want her writing code.
I would say janitorial work, but again that’s important work to do right and she’s not capable
She should tend the congressional bar.
Bartender was where she should have stayed.
Well, considering that they want more govt control over manicurists than they do abortionists.
Is that a real photo? Because if that is then I am calling equine abuse!
“Fake, but accurate.”
That's AOC, the unbright, spoiled little girl from upper Westchester County. I don't think anyone has ever said no to her. I Want It Now
That's AOC, the unbright, spoiled little girl from upper Westchester County. I don't think anyone has ever said no to her.
I am sure there is plenty that could be said about this, but I think it's worth pointing out that no man would tell a young lady to change the color of her fingernail polish. That's entirely lady territory. Where are the glowing stories of dear sainted abuela now?
