My money is on a Baronfig Vanguard Softcover. The dot grid and quality check out, plus they’re a small business out of NYC.

I grew up in the district she now represents (Woodside/Sunnyside), and while that was well over 50 years ago I’ve had occasion to visit the old stomping grounds a few times in recent years.
In memory, AOC is the first representative from the district, who actually looks like a citizen of that district.
I am a fan.
Thanks from here AOC. Keep on talking, and don’t let the bastards get you down.

Another occasion to contrast Ocasio-Cortez with the typical DNC-approved politician. If the party wants a future it’s in dynamic young people, not doddering old white men.

This spirit is the future of the Democratic Party, and if you don’t agree you best get out of the way.

My first thought was that it was a Leuchtterm 1916 dotted; the paper color and print quality are there. But the cut is all wrong, especially for the corners, and the Leutchtterms typically have better margins around the pages. If we could see the lower corners we could see if there were page numbers, which for me is the number one selling point of that particular notebook.

Still, hella excellent that she uses a dotted notebook. I switched to that format about five years ago and have never looked back.

AOC is great, too bad the Democrats are working so hard to get rid of her.

I suspect you are right. However https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/pitch-black-notebook are also very similar. I was watching the speech trying to get a peak at the front cover which would give it away. Alas it stayed folded just out of view.

Well, I’m a doddering old white man and I agree with you. AOC and those like her are the future. I’m glad.

That’s exciting to see, I wondered whether she had memorised it with prompts. It’s much more engaging than trying to read a prepared statement and be as powerful in presentation.

It’s dissapointing that most of the discussion here is mostly about which MOLESKINE CLASSIC NOTEBOOK that uses.

For shame!

I believe the generic name is bullet journal. It could be a Moleskine, but I’m not seeing the placeholder ribbon, which should be visible from this angle.
