Yesterday, We the People in Denver, CO just gave Trump the biggest, most emphatic middle finger. Unafraid of a lying, convicted felon, puny wannabe Hitler and his cronies. We will not be silenced. Democracy will be restored through the People

Let’s go 50501 Denver!! See you out there this Saturday!
It’s high time. Thank you NPR and Colorado stations. Upholding the free press and ensuring unyielding dissemination of information are acts of service.
BREAKING: NPR and three Colorado public radio stations are suing the Trump administration over the president's executive order seeking to ban the use of federal money for NPR and PBS.
"NPR will never agree to this infringement of our constitutional rights, or the constitutional rights of our Member stations, and NPR will not compromise our commitment to an independent free press and journalistic integrity." - NPR President and CEO Katherine Maher
Targeting a private educational institute because it won’t conform its governance and curriculum to what the state wants is…communist.
Yesss. More of this.

Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, Rebecca.
Trump's budget cuts:
-$4.5B from programs for students in high-poverty schools
-$49M from the Ed Dept's civil rights office
-$26B from state rental assistance
-$4B from low-income home energy assistance
-$20B+ from the CDC and NIH
All to give the rich another tax cut.
Charlie was spot on
This update needs to be shared widely, asap. Too many schools have been too quick to comply out of fear, impulse, and a myopic view- disregarding the long term consequences of dropping equity programs and what doing so signals to students. Many need practical strategies and tools for how do this
BREAKING: A federal judge just ruled for our clients and blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a directive prohibiting schools from teaching or operating any programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We'll keep fighting until this directive is stopped for good.
Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
Seriously, who voted for this?

The year after Trump’s last tax giveaway, Amazon paid $0 in federal income taxes, while the typical Boston public school teacher paid about $10,000.
I asked Senate Republicans: Can we agree that no billionaire corporation should get another tax handout?
Republicans voted no.
Unfair bank overdraft fees kick working Americans when they're down.
Senate Republicans just voted to raise them.
At a rally in Los Angeles, 65-year-old Phil Ansell said he wanted to participate because "I want to do everything possible to protect democracy in this country."
Thank you for bringing the legal fight against this madman’s attempts to expand crony capitalism, hollow out our country, dismantle democracy, and pit communities against each other. I’ve been following your work as best I can and am grateful. The law & our courts serve as essential windows of hope
Breaking News: Suit filed against the Trump administration to stop the dismantling of the Department of Education
We're proud to have filed the first lawsuit since the President's Executive Order, attempting to shutter the Department of Education. On behalf of students, educators, schools, and communities across the nation, we are fighting back to ensure education is available to all people, not just a few.
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).
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
The First Amendment is non-negotiable.
By detaining and trying to deport Mahmoud Khalil, the Trump Administration is attacking everyone's right to free speech.
A federal court reaffirmed its nation-wide injunction against Trump's anti-DEIA policy, clarifying it applies to every agency in the executive branch, protecting universities, workplaces, cities and communities to continue fostering diversity and inclusion without fear of retaliation. bit.ly/43BOSkd
Agreed. How are the dems not more enraged? Paddles & pink shirts? It’s infuriating. Maybe we could’ve seen the Musk factor, but we knew much of this was coming. Tired of tacit capitulation and lack of real action. I’ve written my congress men,women & protested. We demand more from our reps. Now.
Stop listening to dinosaurs. Stop paying the consultants that got us here. Stop asking for money instead of telling us what you’re going to do to fight back. The DC bubble has never been more glaring to me than ever. People out here are absolutely pissed and scared. Figure that out fast!
Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.
@skyeperryman.bsky.social speaks w/ @msnbc.com's @alivitali.bsky.social about Democracy Forward's efforts to defend the American public from Musk’s unlawful Dept of Gov Efficiency (DOGE) activities. Our org was created for moments like this & remains ready to respond. Join us: DemocracyForward.org
The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.
