Sometimes you see a progressive activist so activated and effective, you just have to take a bow and say “wow.”

Meet Olivia Julianna. She’s only 20 years old, but has the political savvy and personal courage of a seasoned political veteran.

Olivia faced discrimination of many kinds as soon as she was born. She describes herself as a “queer, plus-sized, disabled Latina abortion rights activist.” Living in Texas, she started experiencing bullying and even death threats before she was out of her teens.

What’s amazing is she authentically laughs at the threats and sees Texas conservatives, including family members, friends and neighbors who support corrupt, seditious Texas politicians like Cruz and Abbott, as good people gone wrong who might be redeemable.

On the other hand, Olivia happily slams the autocratic, sexist, racist, voter-suppressing policies and corruption of conservative Texas elites and their billionaire owners on her TikTok channel and other social media, where she has a huge following.

Abortion rights are the core issue for her, and she earned national fame when Republican hit man Matt Gaetz personally attacked Olivia during speeches and on social media, using body-shaming and other slurs.

Instead of running away when the Gaetz army of hateful losers piled on, she hit back so effectively that she turned his attacks into a massive fund-raising success for abortion rights activism!

Olivia also demonstrated legal but totally hit woman guerrilla tactics when Texas passed its Handmaid’s Tale anti-abortion law. She realized the website set up for women-hating Texans to inform on women who might seek abortions was ripe for false reporting...and mentioned that exploitable flaw, on her TikTok.

That one boss move right there caused so many people to contact the anti-abortion snitch website that the site crashed and burned permanently, lol.

Olivia is also involved in professional networking social media organizing/recruiting people in her age demographic into Democratic politics and hardcore activism.

Please watch this inspiring interview with Olivia from Meidas Touch. You will find yourself listening to astute insider politics, fun attitude, and cool persona of this dynamic young woman who is a role model for all Democrats.

In my view, she is already as articulate, iconic, and ready for action as AOC, and I hope we see her in Congress or the Senate soon.
