Democrats held a record breaking rally in Arizona, drawing more than 23,000 people, the Trump Administration trusts Putin and takes him at his word, and horrifying conditions at detention centers.
It wasn’t a Dem rally, it was a Bernie and AOC rally aka a working class rally. We need to be mindful of the words and phrasing we use. Dems are also a problem. Not the bigger problem, I recognize, but still a huge problem. Dem leadership has screwed both of these people over. Just like the rest of us. Stop giving the establishment credit for their work.
Why do that when we need solidarity/unity now more than ever. Bernie Sanders is against creating a new party. He's for expanding progressives in the Democratic Party.
The treatment of people in the immigration centers make me physically sick. It’s screaming 1940’s Warsaw/Krakow ghetto and people don’t wanna see or hear that
I visited Auschwitz Birkenau in college, doing independent study for my grant research. It changes you, when you see what was done there. And what’s sad is I know trump and JD Vance went to a concentration camp and they’re STILL doing this. That tells me they know what they’re doing, and they don’t care how many lives are lost
Oops! I hit send too early. Seeing Vance at that camp really brought home that he & Trump are completely soulless. So are the majority of the billionaire class. They truly believe that we have less rights than they do because of their wealth. God forbid enough dumb & poor people vote for things like clean air & water for example or any regulation that they view as inhibiting to their wants & needs. Hello Ayn Rand & her beliefs in Atlas Shrugged. We’re heading there.
Because they’re able to get away with everything without consequences. It’s all about the money. The more people they have, the more money they get. It’s a For Profit prison system
Respectfully, it's not "democrats" holding record breaking rallies. That doesn't capture what's happening. It's Bernie and AOC communicating a much more truthful, direct, "fight the oligarchs" message that most other Dems are not. (Along with awesome Raskin, Crockett and a few others.)
Here's my list of politicians taking strong action that I can see - are there others?
Bernie Sanders, Independent, Senator, VT
Chris Murphy, Dem, Senator, CT
Adam Kinzinger, Republican, former House Representative IL
Alexandra Ocasio Cortez, Dem, House Rep, NYC
Janet Mills, Democrat, Gov Maine
Jasmine Crockett, Democrat, House Representative, TX
Jamie Raskin, Dem, House Representative, MD
JB Pritzer, Gov, IL
Tim Walz, Gov, MN
Some small signs of voices for Democracy from Republicans -
Lisa Murkowski spoke this week and stated that she is going to speak up and not fear being 'primaried' until her constituents tell her to stop - this is the closest I have heard to a Republican calling on other Republicans
On Ukraine Rep Don Bacon has spoken up for Ukraine
On Executive power needing to be controlled Rep Rep Celeste Molloy UT has spoken up slightly at her town hall this week, saying sth along lines that if Exec is not reigned in we will move towards totalitarianism
On Military in Europe Sen Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Representative Mike Rogers of Alabama, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee issued a joint statement denouncing Trump admin plans to shake up US presence in Europe
Jesus Fuck you guys. Aaron is out there every fucking day trying to get us real fucking information and all you do is say, “you didn’t say this, you should’ve said that”. Come the fuck on. Have a like grace and gratefulness for him and say thank you 🤦🏻♀️
Bernie actually has a drone video on his YouTube channel showing the crowd! (I still think there were more than 34,000 there — some look like they didn't make it in!
I think it’s important to note, out of respect to Bernie Sanders, he is not a democrat. He is an independent who aligns with democrat policies, and considers himself a democratic socialist, however he isn’t a member of the Democratic Party. He is independent.
The USA should not be sending anyone to prison in El Salvador. This cruel administration is not interested in justice. It is all for show and money. Who is making money from these flights? I think More Perfect Union has followed the money and has a list of who benefits monetarily. This policy doesn’t make America great. It should be stopped immediately.
I agree but also we know for sure those who should not be there are! I don’t believe we should send anyone to this particular prison. They use torture and have a terrible reputation. That makes the USA party to deplorable conditions
Why are U.S. leaders burying their heads in the sand? This so-called “constitutional crisis” is already here and has been rapidly overcoming the country for months now!
FR@# those Cubans. We Begged, Pleaded and Cajoled to try to get them to READ the Project 2025 and how it would destroy our democracy. and VOTE accordingly (against their normal Republican vote) The democracy that their people escaped to, or preferred due to the fact that the first wave came here to KEEP their wealth, and the second wave was when Castro emptied the jails, the insane asylums and homeless and SENT them here. (Probably where Trump got his BS references from)...but that actually DID happen. Trump has no idea the difference between Mexican Migrant workers who come here to give a good days work for a decent (to them) days pay, and Drug Cartels or Cubans or Brazilians for that matter.
Putin doesn’t do anything but lie. He is protecting his own rear! Never believe anything he says. He never does what he says he is going to do. Case in point Ukraine.

Yes! We are creating a new party. The old ones have failed us too many times!

Democracy rally, for ALL citizens
Great point! What they did to Sanders was unforgivable.
Agree. I made a very similar comment before seeing yours.
He fixed it
Then Make it Happen,NOW !!!
The Democratic Party needs to fast forward itself !
I’m a Democrat for the privilege of voting in Primaries,,, BUT,,, the Democrats need to STEP IT UP.
Too much texting/emailing “Begging for $” and not nearly enough “Bernie/AOC” Boots on the Ground !!!
The treatment of people in the immigration centers make me physically sick. It’s screaming 1940’s Warsaw/Krakow ghetto and people don’t wanna see or hear that
I’m literally nauseous.
💯‼️
You are spot right on! I visited Dachau when I was 17 & in Germany as an exchange student. I will never, ever forget.😢😢😢🤬🤬

You’re right. Seeing the evidence of how extreme hatred for others coupled with greed & the need to feel powerful destroys does change you.
MAGA idiots probably never heard of that. Honestly, I can't imagine anyone being so cruel. How can ICE enforce these inhumane laws?
Because they’re able to get away with everything without consequences. It’s all about the money. The more people they have, the more money they get. It’s a For Profit prison system

Nice list! I'd add Maxwell Frost.
Thank you! I will look him up!
Melanie Stansbury New Mexico
Thank you!!
Thank you!!!
Eric Swawell
Thank you! My list is growing!
He fixed it

One of the reasons I watch Aaron is because he doesn’t use profanity. He uses plain, succinct language to convey his point.
Yes! I love that he is so factual and appreciate his summaries of important developments.
Ok🤷🏻♀️
This!!+
Putin is a former KGB asset, a lying dictator just like trump and a master in manipulation and he has the entire trump admin in his pocket
Bernie and AOC had 34,000 the day before in Denver, CO! You don’t see this being shared by big news.
Rachel Maddow shared it but other than that crickets even on Substack!
I saw it all over the place on substack Friday and Saturday
It was shared all over Substack
MTN reported it and shared pictures
Bernie actually has a drone video on his YouTube channel showing the crowd! (I still think there were more than 34,000 there — some look like they didn't make it in!

How are these protests not getting big coverage in the news??????
Because the major media news organizations are owned by billionaires.
People didn't believe Hitler either, and look where that got them.

Cruel and unusual punishment.
Absolutely plus families no knowing where their loved ones are is so uncalled for. I would be so frightened.
Colorado had a rally with 34,000.
The shame and stain that Trump has brought on this country and so many innocent people will follow every sick person who voted for him
I LOVE BERNIE SANDERS HE IS STANDING ON BUSINESS WHEN SO MANY OTHERS ARE BURYING THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND!!!! COME TO ILLINOIS BERNIE ILL JOIN YOU!!!!!

Who should believe Putin? You know he’s lying when his mouth is moving.

Good luck in Panama!
