About 1500 in Bedford MA today with signs, cheering, and honking. Mostly older folks who couldn't make it into Boston. They still have spunk! Here's a real old-school patriot

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

All Congressional representatives should be following AOC's lead. Shout it loud and often.
Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.
“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

This is a great report, and I have a bill to stop private equity's abusive practices.
