Sanders: What the ruling class of this country does… is essentially tell you that you are powerless. They say, ‘Ain’t nothing you can do — because we, the oligarchs, got all the money, we own the Congress’ Well, we’re here this evening to tell them: hey guys, you got it wrong.

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

The crazy thing about humans is this: We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth. The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first. That’s it. The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice. Greed is holding us back.

When we hold our version of the Nuremberg trials for DJT and his cronies, do we give them due process? Or will this end like Mussolini ended with a disgruntled citizen?

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Is it too much to hope he pisses off the Supreme Court enough for them to start actually following the Constitution?

There have to be consequences to companies cooperating with Trump and his evil kidnapping and rendition. Avelo Airlines, who flies out if our local airport has decided to help Trump illegally fly people out of this country. I know they are convenient, but we need to boycott them. #boycottavello

Krugman just said he is weak and stupid. But he has the reigns of government. He may be all those and a coward. But all that makes him scary dangerous. He doesn't care about laws or precedent. Everything we know is on danger.

Could state attorney generals sue the Trump administration for not upholding federal laws or for breaking the law?

The firehouse of shit coming from Republicans is impossible to comprehend and defend. It's intentional and will continue. Im sure they have AHCA in their sights, gay marriage, and Social Security. Our country will never be the same. We are no longer the beacon for freedom. Depressing.

When this shit is all over, I suggest we put an annual wealth tax of 20 percent on any citizen who has over 100 million dollars. We could eliminate poverty, pay for medical insurance for all, and eliminate the debt.

Sooner than later Trump will start putting pressure on apps to start restricting free speech. He could threaten them that he will shut them down unless they stop people from saying negative things about him. Bluesky could be in trouble.

Watch the economy nose dive when the Chinese stop buying our debt. It could bankrupt the country or make US currency worthless. The dollar will probably stop being the world's currency. What a fucking disaster.

I will guarantee you this. It will end, and it will not end in our normal political process. It will be terrifying, and our country and democracy will never be the same. We are seeing the end of 250 years of democracy. My only hope is that we can build a better nation on the ashes.

If Trump and Republicans think this will last forever, just look what happens to all dictatorship. They end, and the people who are responsible are made to pay for their actions.

Just understand we have been in a class warfare for the last 50 years. Trump and the Republican Party are the outcome. We need to get control of corporations and the uber wealthy so the rest of us can love a decent life without struggling every day. #classwarfare

Wall Steet is living in the last century. They think this is just another correction. Evil is being wrought on the world, which will be as bad or worse than great depression. The end of democracy. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a 50 percent drop in the next months when he enacts marshall law.

Don't forget who is in charge of our intelligence and defense. They are gathering data and will do whatever evil he asks. Our country is at an end.

This is only a temporary bounce until sales and economic numbers come in. The market still has a huge drop ahead. Consumers are going to stop buying. State and local governments are going to have major issues with all the Federal Funds disappearing. It's going to get a lot worse. #trumpdespression

Imagine how much money his rich friends are making on the market right now. I'm sure they know a few minutes ahead of Trumps announcements and buy it before the market changes. We are talking trillions.

My question is, when Trump uses the insurrection act, will the police and military uphold the constitution or side with evil.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

. Estimate of total protesting on 4/5 is now 5.2M, based on reports from over 1.6K events nationwide. More than 21K volunteers traveled the country to monitor each location & work with authorities to assess & estimate crowd size from compilation of reports. My guess is, it's still a low estimate.

Yes, the stock market numbers look ugly, but the DJIA is approximately where it was a year ago. We are nowhere near the floor as jobs disappear and people stop spending out of fear what's next. Be prepared for another 30 percent drop or more. #DJIA #economy

Democrats need better messaging. Millions gather for....hands off? Biden idiotic plan...build back better. I am not a linguist, but there have to be better slogans.

One of the big failures of the Obama campaign operation was they built up this fairly massive local campaigning effort and didn't pass it on, they just let it wither and die. Hopefully this movement won't make the same mistake. For serious, organizing 1400 events means you've got a bunch of folks.
