Happiest hiking in the forest, climbing and kayaking. Love the quiet of the natural world, birds and bird song, all creatures big and small.

Nice people made the best Nazis. My mother spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves, chose not to focus on politics... They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.

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).
