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).

Trump’s aggressiveness really does give the Dems “we want to change this, but we can’t!” game away.
No one likes a weak political party. Feigning weakness for years finally led to the real thing.

some helpful reminders:
-not all jews support israel
-criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic
-being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas
-arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment
-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

I couldn’t imagine dominating this season and then running up against this new look Warriors team in round 1. Someone is in for a bad time.

Sixers are super fun. Relentless on the offensive glass which is a complete 180 from last year. Doc pouted anytime someone tried to crash.

My dream scenario for how this Harden situation plays out:
Morey deals Harden to Miami against his will for picks + Kyle Lowry, Harden at first tries to sabotage it, but eventually plays the best ball of his career after at least one infamous Jimmy Butler practice story.
