Populism is a great thing. But calling MAGA “populist” is bullshit. Like most self-identified right-wing populists, it is simply fake populism that has no agenda for working people of any background. Calling it fake populism and offering a real alternative would be a great strategy going forward.

"Come for one, face us all." - JVP Desperate to crush popular and growing opposition to Israel’s genocide, the Trump regime is shredding our First Amendment rights.

Read this update from @jvp.bsky.social on the fight for Palestinian freedom and how this fight must be at the forefront of all of our efforts to fight fascism and defend our right to protest. We must stand together and take the stance, "Come for one, face us all."

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

A reminder I needed this morning.

Tragic.

Excited to read Kazu's book!

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.

Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.
