Just like we look back at shame with our history of slavery, we’ll look back at disbelief and shock at our current actions. we’ll look back at Rep. Nancy Mace talking about alligators going after immigrants with a similar shock and disbelief.

It’s unclear exactly how many U.S. citizens have faced the Trump administration’s immigration dragnet so far.
The government does not release such figures. Neither Border Patrol nor ICE would tell ProPublica how many Americans have been mistakenly detained.

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).
