Dear Elon/Donald,
Sometimes, it's not what you DID that's important, but what you didn't do. This week I didn't:
-Make a Nazi salute
-Sell out democracy for money & power
-Extort Ukraine for their resources
-Dance in a drug-induced haze at CPAC
-Decimate US health, science, & education funding

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.
