Your comment reflects a deep misunderstanding of how elite science competitions like Intel ISEF actually work — and frankly, that’s not something to wear proudly.Rudradev wrote: ↑22 Jul 2025 08:52

There's way more to say about this mythic construction of AOC as a product of the proletariat-- including the fact that she went to a high school equipped with the funding and infrastructure to conduct science fairs; not only that, a high school with the institutional connections to bring their science fair to the attention of august institutions like MIT. Indeed, I'm sure the administrative (if not academic) staffers at MIT wet themselves for joy at being able to "honour" a "working-class Hispanic wimminz" student like AOC by naming a piece of space junk after her.

That is an excellent observation. That maybe the reason why she knew she was privileged but once that disappears life is hard. She understands the travails and privations of the working class/lower middle class folks in big cities like NYC.
Now Obama and his minions are dismissing the evidence dug up by US DNI Tulsi Gabbard. In the YT below, Tulsi claims that then US intelligence did not find (Nada, zilch) any Russian involvement in US elections. After DJT V1.0 was elected by the US defeating the Dem H. Clinton, which was a shock to the Dems and to Hillary herself, Obama instructed the intelligence to open a new investigation into Russian inteference in the election. So this Obama chap is denying his own written orders, which cannot become even more ridiculous lying to the US public.
HinduPACT has AHAD (American Hindus Against Defamation)Several organizations have been formed to combat discrimination against Hindus in the United States and raise issues impacting Hindu Americans. Some of these organizations include:
Hindu American Foundation: HAF is an American Hindu advocacy group founded in 2003 with the broad aim of protecting the rights of Hindus in the United States and raising cultural appropriation issues.[169] Around 2023, HAF was among several Hindu-American organizations that successfully opposed the SB 403 bill, which aimed to introduce caste laws in California that could have unfairly targeted Hindu Americans.[167]
Sadhana: aims to empower Hindu-Americans to live the values of their faith through service, community transformation, and advocacy work.[170]
CoHNA: Coalition of Hindus of North America[171]- Due to CoHNA's activism, Georgia passed a resolution condemning "Hinduphobia" in 2023, making it the first state in United States to pass such a resolution.[172]
HinduPACT: The Hindu Policy Research and Advocacy Collective (HinduPACT) is an American Hindu advocacy group with stated aims to monitor acts of hatred towards Hindu Americans while engaging with all Americans to promote Hindu values such as pluralism.[173]
Only someone who's dyed red in GOP talking points can say with a straight face that someone whose parent is a cleaning lady and whose family clearly seems to be middle-middle class is privileged.

As for the the Judge Rosenberg, she is appointed by Obama.A federal judge in Florida denies the Justice Department’s request to unseal Epstein grand jury transcripts.
...
A federal judge in Florida on Wednesday denied a request by the Trump administration to release grand jury transcripts from an investigation into the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, stymying efforts by President Trump to blunt criticism from many of his supporters.
The denial came after the government last week asked the court to unseal those documents and to transfer the case to New York, where Mr. Epstein was indicted after a grand jury investigation in 2019. In its request, the Justice Department cited “special circumstances” that arose from “historical interest by the public,” asking the court to unseal transcripts from two grand juries convened in 2005 and 2007.
The decision is all but certain to frustrate the Trump administration’s frantic bid to show that no secrets remain from the government’s investigations into Mr. Epstein in Florida.
...
In a brief 12-page order, Judge Robin L. Rosenberg wrote that the court’s “hands are tied,” pointing to what she said was the government’s own concession in its filing that the laws on criminal procedure generally forbid courts from unsealing grand jury testimony except in narrow circumstances.
She wrote that the Justice Department’s requests fell outside those narrow contexts, which can include sharing testimony with other department lawyers or as evidence in another related lawsuit.
She similarly dismissed the idea that moving the case to New York served any purpose other than getting around those rules, as the government’s case against Mr. Epstein in New York was already long over.
“The government’s request is not to assist with litigation in the New York federal proceedings,” she wrote. “The government wants the petition to be granted so that it can release evidence to the public at large.”
Judge Rosenberg ordered that a new case be created “in the public interest” that provided access to the government’s requests and the denial order, as the Epstein grand jury docket is still sealed.
But she ordered closed the case where the government filed its request, which started with the investigation into Mr. Epstein in Florida in 2005, and specified in bold typeface that no transcripts or grand jury materials that had not been previously disclosed would appear on the new docket.

It doesn't prove what you think it proves. No siree.
The request to the court made by the Trump DoJ referred to rule 6E and the judge said, of course, you have correctly cited the law, and there shall be no disclosure.(E) The court may authorize disclosure—at a time, in a manner, and subject to any other conditions that it directs—of a grand-jury matter:
(i) preliminarily to or in connection with a judicial proceeding;
(ii) at the request of a defendant who shows that a ground may exist to dismiss the indictment because of a matter that occurred before the grand jury;
(iii) at the request of the government, when sought by a foreign court or prosecutor for use in an official criminal investigation;
(iv) at the request of the government if it shows that the matter may disclose a violation of State, Indian tribal, or foreign criminal law, as long as the disclosure is to an appropriate state, state-subdivision, Indian tribal, or foreign government official for the purpose of enforcing that law; or
(v) at the request of the government if it shows that the matter may disclose a violation of military criminal law under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, as long as the disclosure is to an appropriate military official for the purpose of enforcing that law.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s office in the Bronx was vandalized early on Monday by masked protesters claiming to support Palestinian rights. They defaced her image by splattering red paint across the windows and left behind a sign reading “AOC funds genocide in Gaza.” The New York Democrat has also received violent threats in recent days, according to her senior adviser Oliver Hidalgo-Wohlleben.
....
Disowned by the Democratic Socialists of America and hounded by a segment of the far left that ignores real enemies in favor of cannibalizing allies, AOC’s latest crime was voting “no” on an amendment pushed by far-right wack job Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to defund Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. AOC’s response was direct and principled.
Only six House members supported that amendment: Republicans Greene and Thomas Massie, who opposes all government spending; and Democrats Al Green, Summer Lee, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib. It’s a bizarre coalition, to put it mildly.Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it.
What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue.
I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established.
I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza.
For starters, the above is evidence of the typical Dem propensity for moving goalposts in the face of inconvenient realities. That is, unless you have a fundamentally unique definition of "the money class"-- it's not a term I've ever used.
) That is not the thrust of @Rudradev's argument, AFAIK.
The worldviews tapped to contrive such back-stories, the techniques employed to disseminate them, and the networks used to fund their dissemination all smell very much the same in AOC's case and in Pappu's. This is no coincidence.
Thank you, this is instructive. It will help people see what I mean.A_Gupta wrote: ↑24 Jul 2025 23:32 PM Modi’s father was also a small business owner.

He might have inherited property; but architecture is not a lucrative profession for the vast majority of architects.
Since you bring that up, we all know what they claim Pappu's mother did for a living when she met her husband-- bartending, the much-publicized highlight of AOC's resume!When Pappu’s mother worked cleaning houses and as a bus driver after her husband’s death, then let us compare origin stories, IMO. Also, coming from a politically unknown lineage vs Motilal Nehru - Jawaharlal Nehru -India Gandhi - Rajiv Gandhi - Pappu is hardly comparable. I suggest some deep calming breaths before making far fetched comparisons.
Are you saying SHE wasn't from humble working-class origins? Would you consider JD VAnce to be that if he were to get the GOP nomination and win in 2028? He will surely seek nomination among others in Trump cabinet. The other is ofc SDOTUS who did run in the GOP primaries before.
