#BernieSanders is showing up for democracy and people are listening, whether they supported him in the past or not. People just want someone who is willing to fight for them in a crisis, and they can see that Bernie and #AOC are fighters.
Lots of Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats are showing up to these Fighting Oligarchy rallies.
Bernie and AOC get attacked from the left and right, but they're really making a difference against #Trump
Any “movement” that leads #protest back to the #DemocraticParty is, by definition, dangerous. Criticism of Donald Trump cannot be a defining feature of change.
The #BernieSanders and #AOC event in northern #California on 4/15 has changed venues. It's now being held in #Folsom California which is closer to #Sacramento
#AOC & #BernieSanders are " #progressives" in the same way an axe with a wooden handle is considered an ally by #trees. You see, the trees let the axe cut them down & chop them up, because they think it's one of them due to its wooden handle. Not knowing it's actually working with the lumberjacks.
Acc/to #Trump’s interpretation of trade laws, #BernieSanders told Greer, “the president can declare an emergency with any country on Earth.” He added, “That’s called #authoritarianism.”
Greer responded: “Sir, Congress delegated this power to the president.” ← they did not.
The hearing has concluded. Before it wrapped up, Sen #BernieSanders (I-VT) described himself as “not a great fan of unfettered free #trade” but called the national emergencies President Trump has used to impose tariffs against #Canada & other countries “a lie.”
Another unpopular take: The #DemocraticLeadership should have stopped fucking around and just run #BernieSanders, who would have hit actual landslide victory. They fucked around running candidates they knew were not wanted and now we're all finding out.
Here's the names of the 14 Democrat Senators who voted to support #BernieSanders' resolutions to block billions of $US of military aid and weapons to #Israel on Thurs 3rd April, 2025.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have been on a Fight Oligarchy tour.
I think history is going to remember AOC's 'We are not powerless' speech. This is some watch:

Back home, Sanders made this 'Bad News / Good News' address:

Where Do We Go From Here? #berniesanders #yt
If you're OK with memes making fun of cybertrucks, protesting Tesla and sinking stocks I beg you to also take a day to attend a Gaza protest OR any form of mutual aid for the homeless (the Gaza in your backyard).
If you need convincing please checkout this Bernie Sanders speech. Ask your liberal, centrist and fiscal conservative friends to take a look.
Bernie goes hard for Gaza here, is this what the dems feared so much?
Quote:
"Yes, the oligarchs are enormously powerful. They have endless amounts of money. They control our economy. They own much of the media.
But, from the bottom of my heart, I am convinced that if we are well-organized, they can be defeated."

Understanding the aesthetics of oligarchy can help us to see where their power comes from and maybe even do something about it....
