“There is no act too small”: AOC does her nails as an Act of ‘Resistance”.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York posted to Instagram on Friday, telling her followers she would be receiving a manicure in a show of resistance to the Supreme Court’s recent Roe v. Wade decision. Wade.

Representative Ocasio-Cortez explained that “personal acts of reclamation” can serve as personal forms of political protest even though people may feel powerless in light of the recent ruling, according to a tweet that reposted the New York congresswoman’s story:

“I want to talk about personal acts of reclamation because sometimes people will say there’s nothing I can do…I feel so powerless… And there is no act too small that you can engage in,” the Representative reminded her followers.

“Today I have a personal task: I must redo my nails. AOC stated that she has decided to apply her new manicure almost as a personal act for reclamation of my life and story.

The congresswoman said in a follow up video that her manicure is an act of rebellion because red nails used to be a sign she was “loose” during her conservative childhood. (RELATED: AOC Claims Republicans Criticize Her Because Of ‘Deranged Sexual Frustrations’)
