'New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave us that when she literally laughed off a movement she had become the poster girl for live on telly. It was in the midst of an ABC News discussion on the excesses of 2020 progressives earlier this month that she shared a saying from a colleague: “Woke 1 was crazy!”'

Seems a significant shift.

‘Woke’ was a disaster – even the Left admits it

Key liberal figures like AOC may distance themselves from the movement, but their punitive orthodoxy had a chilling effect on free speech

AOC was quite the advocate for prison abolition. Her tweets are still up

Rapists and abusers, you will be delighted to hear, will be on a "healing journey" instead of prison cuz you know, mainly they were abused in their childhoods, mmmkay?

She is not so wrong though in the sense that she says prison becomes a dumping ground.

I think her point was - make it fair. Prison for crimes, not for the mentally ill and so on.

Of all the fucken issues they choose to fight on, they pick this one.

Good fucken god.

It has to be about money. I can’t think of no other reason why they’d choose to die on this hill.

I think the US prison system is a completely different kettle of fish than the UK's.
