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 Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We need a change in Dem leadership in Congress AND within the Dem party FAST, before the party becomes completely irredeemable.
What's the benefit of keeping the gov open if you're handing this admin the authority to continue gutting it even more?

I will never understand how avoiding whatever it is these people believe are in vaccines is in any way better than your child dying.
"The vaccination has stuff we don't trust," said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died from measles at the end of last month. Tom Bartlett visited with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy:
The Texas Girl Who Died From Measles
Her father tells her story.

I really wish people would realize it’s not the time to be shaming people for having a realization they were lied to.
We need to bring together as many people as possible to stand up and say this isn’t right and to fight back.
Telling them they deserve this just isn’t it, no one deserves this.

I keep seeing this and I’m losing it.
All Kamala had to do to get more voter’s support was NOT SUPPORT A GENOCIDE. She chose genocide.
Stop acting like this is difficult to comprehend. If enough ppl sat out for this stance that it caused her to lose, ITS HER FAULT FOR NOT CHANGING STANCE.

Sorry no time for performing the functions of an opposition party in the face of a growing fascist oligarchy, there’s too many anti-genocide protesters that need to be yelled. If we don’t rerun the 2016 playbook then people might actually expect the party to have some level of competence!
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Im so glad Dems focused on having the most lethal military in the world to convince voters to vote for them rather than
*checks notes*
actually standing against a genocide.
And you’re right, it’s totally the voters fault for Trump winning and not the complete incompetence of the Democratic Party.

If I see that stupid pic saying they are looking forward to the college protests against Trump for Gaza I’m going to absolutely lose it. You people act like the last administration didn’t treat those people as terrorists for exercising free speech and fighting against a DEM FUNDED GENOCIDE

Like the second I see a chicken strip or something fully submerged into a 16oz cup of ranch I know it’s an immediate scroll as the most horrifying and disturbing sights and sounds are about to happen if I don’t go fast enough.
If that’s what you like, cool, but it makes my skin crawl.

I'm unconvinced that most of the content on Tiktok related to anyone eating anything isn't like...fetish content on the downlow. No on eats normally. There are always a lot of sounds involved and making weird eye contact. Everyone please stop doing this, it's creepy.

I’d say I don’t get how trumps actions over 3 days can have such wide reaching impacts and yet dems hands were tied for 4 years leaving them unable to accomplish anything significant.
But I won’t, because I know exactly why they didn’t do anything.

Feeling very similarly. Had a long talk with my dad last summer about what was happening in Israel/ Gaza and my issues with both parties. He expressed he would never vote for Trump again. I thought I’d finally gotten through to him.
Him voting for Trump a 3rd time has been difficult to accept.

I am struggling today with how I am ever supposed to speak to my parents again, knowing this is what they gleefully voted for.
Because I know them, and there is no way to have a serious conversation with them about something like this. They will not *take* it seriously.

These words from Bill Mollison, the founder of permaculture, are timely: "Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex,
the solutions remain embarrassingly simple." It's never been clearer to me than the last 3 days how simple the solutions to our problems are if we would enact them.

Forcing myself to post on social media and interact in comment sections for the first time since 2019 as a form of exposure therapy.
Somehow feels liberating and absolutely nauseating at the same time. Helps remind me how we got to the place we are in right now though.

It’s wild how much Liberals still see no issue with how the Dems positioned themselves in the 2024 election and fully believe it is only the fault of voters sitting out or voting 3rd party that Trump won.
Maybe it’s time to reflect on why genocide support was a losing strategy.

Presidents should be forced to hold outdoor inaugurations, regardless of weather, both in memory of President William Henry Harrison and in the hopes that something that funny happens again.
