I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.
I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.
It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.
It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.
Something special is happening.
Over *34,000* people joined our Fight the Oligarchy rally tonight with @BernieSanders and I.
Biggest political event in Denver since Obama 2008.
Working people are ready to stand together and fight for our democracy.
Thank you Colorado! ❤️
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is running for president in 2028.
Bernie Sanders will be there with her to help draw out crowds.
Hope you're ready.
The Democrats won’t mount a serious defense against fascism because they benefit from the SAME SYSTEMS OF POWER that Republicans do. They're deeply entrenched in the same corporate interests, military-industrial complex, and same Wall Street funding.
Fascism doesn’t play by the rules. And yet, the Democrats keep on pretending like the rules still matter! There's a hard truth that Americans, especially liberals, can't seem to accept: American Bipartisanship is actually a suicide pact!
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN PAYING FEDERAL TAXES FOR IF THE GOP IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN EVERY PROGRAM AND AGENCY THAT HELPS US? OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE GOING DIRECTLY INTO THE POCKETS OF MUSK, TRUMP, AND THEIR BILLIONAIRE GOONS! GOLF TRIPS! THE SUPERBOWL! SPACE X! IVANKA'S PROJECTS!
From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
