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).

What’s happening in the United States reminds me of the rape of innocent, oblivious Persephone by brutal Hades, also known as Pluto, God of hidden wealth. His name shows up in the word plutocracy. Time to wake up to how things really are and, like P, toughen up and take charge.

Trump wants us to feel disoriented and paralyzed by his barrage of executive actions. But sociologist Jennifer Walter has devised a plan to combat his ‘shock and awe’ strategy.

Old white men do not represent Hollywood’s burgeoning diversity. They are anachronisms of a bygone era — when gender inequality, racism and misogyny were the norms.

Sen. Kristen Gillibrand to Pete Hegseth: "So you just cannot denigrate women in general. And your statements do that. 'We don‘t want women in the military, especially in combat.' What a terrible statement! So please do not deny that you‘ve made those statements. You have."

We are going to take the fight to Trump. There will be no honeymoon for him. No moment of grace. No giving him the benefit of the doubt. We will never meet him halfway on his bigotry, sexism and cruelty. We know who he is. And more importantly, we know who we are.

America's wealthiest tech oligarchs are showering Trump's inaugural committee with millions in donations.

Why are billionaires aligning with fascists?

So the rest of us fight each other and don't look up to see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances. It happened in 1930s Germany, and it’s happening again today.

One of the worst Trump picks is Russell Vought, an architect of Project 2025. Translation: he shouldn’t be in charge of anything ever. Agreed?

On this anniversary of January 6, I’m following three separate but related stories about the rise of violent extremism. From the very top of the chain to the chaos agents and militias below, we have strong reasons for deep concern. My write up: https://buff.ly/3PpYkz1
Beware the Fringe Right
The Trump presidency will embolden chaos agents and organized right wing militias alike.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.

The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.

Don’t give them want they want.

Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.
