I'm sad because honestly Boston is usually pretty lovely right now... if it's not raining...

Because it's almost the weekend. It (apparently) always rains on weekends.

That was so much fun, I'm glad I got to participate.

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.

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).

guild run completely derailed by one (1) hot tub

So if you're a millennial or older, especially if you're immunocompromised or in an area with low vaccination rates, might be worth discussing a booster with your doctor.

Which means if you were born before that, most likely you received one. (Which is still WAY better than none, don't get me wrong, but not AS good as two.)

Most children since the sixties have received a measles vaccination because yay not dying of childhood illness (or becoming deaf, or...).

HOWEVER, it was only after a break out in 1989 that the CDC started recommending two doses instead of one.

So, because it is 2025 and for some godforsaken reason we have to talk about this...

If you received two measles vaccinations as a child, you are safe (or as safe as modern medicine can make you, which is not 100% because that's not how any of this works).

It is actually genuinely funny that the Army looked at the Executive Order and said "no"
