Action of the week ...... US protests AGAINST Trump/Musk administration actions
Bernie & AOC got 34,000 to a rally in Denver
(Australian media is NOT covering these protests, but they are growing bigger & bigger. And are NATIONAL. Esp in Republican areas.)
Well said. @peterfitz1.bsky.social

Repeated around the world, but with different financial levers. Billionaires leveraging communities in the US, sports leagues leveraging communities in Australia.
