Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernieā€™s career (and obviously, mine too).

Coloradoā€¦

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

šŸ’„ At Disney's shareholders meeting, "the right-wing pressure group National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR)," lost its anti-LGBTQ+ proposal. Costco, Apple, Deere and Disney shareholders have rejected NCPPR's anti-DEI proposals. Levi Strauss is next. www.hrgrapevine.com/us/content/a...

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue FOR ALL THE PEOPLEā€¦who donā€™t know that tariffs are paid by the consumer, not the country sending the goodsā€¦ For all the people who donā€™t know that ā€œtariffā€ is just another word for ā€œtaxā€ā€¦

šŸ’„ BREAKING: Walt Disney Company shareholders voted today 99-1 percent to reject an anti-LGBTQ+ proposal, requesting that the company sever its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign and HRC's Corporate Equality Index. Disney Board recommended shareholders vote against the proposal.

Yes, the "hard left" is snatching people from their homes and putting them on planes without hearings to send them to notorious, massive prisons in El Salvador to be tortured!!! Oh, wait . . .

They're nazis. We know they're nazis.

We need generational change in leadership and Chuck Schumer is clearly a relic from a time that has come and gone. AOC and Bernie are right to try and steer the Democratic Party back to some form of economic populism that focuses on the middle-working class. youtu.be/2_N2OMVlpVc?...

So much thisā€¦

Sanders: We are not a poor country! There is no excuse on Godā€™s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.

Amen. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø They want you to believe this is radical. It isnā€™t.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is itā€™s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isnā€™t denial, itā€™s how we will survive

AOC: Alina Habba said, ā€œWhat intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.ā€ I donā€™t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isnā€™t just talking about me, sheā€™s talking about all of us.

Sanders: In our form a government, unless you are a coward, you donā€™t sue the media because they report on things you donā€™t like.

And thatā€™s on that šŸ˜Œ

AOC: One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isnā€™t fighting hard enough for you, youā€™re not afraid to replace her with one who will.

Hey Night Owl šŸ¦‰ A recent poll suggested that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is seen as the new leader of the Democratic Party. Raise your hand šŸ¤ššŸ¾ and Repost if you agree! #BlueCrew #StrongerTogether #AOC

ARIZONA ā€” Bernie on the Oligarchy: ā€œFrom the bottom of my heart, I am convinced they can be defeated.ā€

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Look at the size of the crowd . Trump would be jealous.

Paul Weiss is the Marco Rubio of law firms.

What have we become?

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.ā€Ā ā€”FDR, 1944

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I donā€™t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because Iā€™m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldnā€™t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Dumb and dumber: Itā€™s Thursday. There are 593 days until the midterm elections. The Fed guy says the economy ainā€™t looking so good, the racists give Jackie Robinson a reprieve and Trump loves the uneducated.

People keep asking me if Dems are divided between left and center of party. Nope. We are divided over old and new ways of fighting. That 20th Century playbook ainā€™t stopping a dictator.

If this guy is really in Congress, he knows he can bring his ā€œimpeachmentā€ articles IMMEDIATELY to a vote. He wonā€™t do that because he knows myself and a few other Dems (Iā€™m looking at you @repjasmine.bsky.social ) will beat back this bullshit on the House Floor. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

State-sponsored kidnapping The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvadorā€”in defiance of a court order. Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definitionā€”kidnapping.

if you haven't protested before and are nervous or maybe you're thinking "I'm only one person, it won't make a difference if I show up or not" trust me, it does. Many feel the same way. Some go by themselves or with with friends or family, some carry signs and yell, if that's not your thing...

LOL
