Daily (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez–style) Digital Life Litany for Protection, Direction and Stewardship

Caveat emptier: This post was drafted with help from an AI assistant (Perplexity)— but ideated and edited extensively by the human, Bill Acton

Wikipedia

Lord,

in this age of platforms and power,

teach me to speak for people

who are too often treated

as an afterthought.

Let my digital life be shaped

by courage, clarity,

and solidarity.

When I post,

help me remember that the point

is not to win the internet,

but to widen the circle

of who gets heard.

Protect me from performative outrage,

and from the temptation

to make every disagreement

a purity test.

Guard my accounts,

my attention,

and my family’s privacy

from those who would weaponize

screenshots, rumors,

or harassment to shut down

a voice they don’t like.

Teach me to use this reach

to educate, organize,

and lift up the people

whose lives are shaped

by policy and power

long before they shape a headline.

And grant that my stewardship

of this digital space

be not just fierce,

but faithful:

standing for dignity,

checking facts,

listening well,

and helping make hope

a practical thing.

AI‑assisted creative work: This litany is an imaginative parody pastiche using generative AI. It imitates the public persona of [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] for commentary and devotional reflection. It is not created by or affiliated with [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], and should not be taken as her real views or words.''
