Amazing rally at the huntsman center at the U of U with @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social and 20,000 Utahns. Thanks for stopping by and inspiring us all to beat the #oligarchy

We are here waiting for AOC and Bernie! Another performer coming. A p couple speakers coming then AOC in :45!

But only if enough people 1) know there's a threat, 2) know we have the power, 3) care, and 4) act. Like Cory Booker did. He called upon us. He apologized for Gongress' inability to make the changes we need. The courts seem unable to enforce their rulings. So it's up to us. It's up to US.

Utah peeps. @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social are headed this way shortly. Doors open at 3:30. Let's give them a great welcome! act.berniesanders.com/signup/rsvp-...

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

If you need a bike and want to buy American, check out guardianbikes.com. We started on the path of bringing mfg from China to the USA in 2020. Indiana. And they are now there. From Shark Tank to possibly the leading bike company in the USA

this is the no fucking shit of all no fucking shits and yet barely anyone anywhere is saying it.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Concerning…. The collective net worth of Trump‘s administration exceeds $460 billion and that includes Elon‘s $400 billion net worth. The collective net worth of Biden‘s cabinet was $118 million.

This is disgusting. Someone set fire to Shapiro’s home while he and his family were sleeping. I hope this person is caught quickly and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Leadership of any kind from govts., administrators of large organizations, all the way down to small businesses owe it to the people that populate those collectives, complete transparency and honesty. When those orgs adopt a policy of not admitting to mistakes, you get propaganda. You get lies.

Everyone who has paid into Social Security: 1. Create a Login.Gov account. 2. Go to the Social Security page and log in. 3. Do screen caps of your Earnings Record. 4. Because it may not be there tomorrow, thanks to Elon.

When everything gets overwhelming, I make a point to seek out the natural world. The trees and mountains stand witness to the fact that every despot and petty tyrant is nothing to the grandness of it all. It truly is healing to me. Blue Mountain - Missoula, Montana

AOC: “Donald Trump is a criminal. Convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.” More here:

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them. Also? These messages are effing hilarious.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

I am hearing weird rumors about some new DOGE grant payment justification system. If anyone has info, please DM me or reach out on Signal (jeremymberg.78)

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella to introduce Clairo. "The future of what happens to America is dependent on your generation. Now, you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do that at your own peril.” Love this dude!

My congressman,Sam Graves, hasn’t had a townhall since 2012. We are having them in his absence.

OF COURSE the guardian covered the @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov rally in LA...... but I couldn't find it on @cnn.com @nytimes.com or @nbcnews.com, etc, ad nauseam. @sltrib.com, @kutv2news.bsky.social @deseret.com.web.brid.gy do better today in SLC www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

oh this

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

Frost: I come from Florida. See, Project 2025 is Florida 2024. We’ve seen this, but we also know how to deal with it. When they disappear, a college student, you take to the streets. When they steal your Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid, you take to the streets.
