I've quietly watched Brynn go through this for the past year. It's absolutely heartbreaking. I'm glad she can share her story now but it's rough. She gave her life to helping people and doing medivac rescues with the California national guard and she's being tossed out line trash because she's trans

This is the @nytimes.com once again whitewashing violence & genocide. He didn’t end “illegal crossings” — wtf even is that — he ended asylum. He didn’t broker a ceasefire; it’s genocide by another name. It’s wild how rotten the storied institutions of this country are showing themselves to be.

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).

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
