Code switching includes not just word choice and accent, but also gestures and even facial expression. POC, youth, pocket populations, etc. use it to tailor their talk to in-culture vs. out-of-culture people, with the latter group receiving a more formal, professional Standard English presentation.
Haven't seen AOC's challenge in question - so I wouldn't want to compare.
But the NZ Parliament challege being referred to here - was a Haka (War dance) - and the video provides the energy on full view !!

Cats are family members.
This is a war based on lies
This will be the entire earth if we, the American people, continue along the path chosen by someone who should be in a mental institution.
My dog likes his back scratched and when I pause he turns around and gives me a some licks as payback, then turns back for more scritches.
Frosted bouffant. Possibly the ugliest hairstyle in history.
He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.

This is Buster. He escaped from a slaughterhouse in Connecticut and a series of wonderful people found him, cared for him, and transported him to us in December, 2024. He is a big, big boy with the sweetest personality. He LOVES people and getting belly rubs! ❤️

The ‘killing fields’ still exist 👺
This is from one slaughterhouse.
There are tens of thousands slaughterhouses.
The killing fields are everywhere.
Killing tens of billions each year.
If you include fish: 8 billion per day.

The AI boom comes at a cost 😮💨
Behind the AI hype is a surge in energy use, data centre expansion and growing threats to democracy. Can it still be called progress if it deepens environmental harm, surveillance, and the grip of Big Tech and autocrats on power?

Celeste Roberge’s sculpture “The Weight of Grief” #art
I heartily dislike AI, but I don’t think it would influence people politically when we can see the results of bad policy all around us. The FOX news viewers are already lost anyway.
Also, odd starts, stops and pauses in speech, and repetitive hand movements.
Pluto & Akela were rescued from a dog meat farm in South #Korea in 2023, but they’re still waiting for forever homes. #DCMT #dogmeat #rescue

Going to places dramatically ups your chance of meeting with a bad fate. Stay home with the doors and windows locked.
What we’ve been taught to see as “food” is, in reality, a life that felt fear, pain, and the will to live. 💔
Sometimes, all it takes is a shift in perspective. 💭

Being vegetarian is still supporting two of the cruelest industries in animal agriculture- the dairy and the egg industry!
A Common Raven perched on a rock, displaying its glossy black plumage with iridescent sheen, thick curved beak, shaggy throat feathers, and large dark claws against a soft blurred brown and pink background.
Crows remember human faces. For years. If you wrong one, it will tell other crows about you — and they'll harass you too. Even crows that never met you!
This is not just a bird. This is one of the most intelligent animals on the planet.

I think they meant: Strait up milking the market.
There needs to be major investigations of this.
And all of their accounts need freezing whilst the investigations happen.
Picking on the vulnerable is a cowardly thing to do #disgrace
