“Despair is not an option,” Sanders told the crowd. “Giving up and hiding under the covers is not acceptable. The stakes are just too high.” Channeling the rage and frustration of progressive Californians, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders told tens of thousands of people in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday that the country is in a moment of “extraordinary danger.” Trump and his allies are watching the size of the rallies, Sanders said, and “you are scaring the hell out of them.”… Sanders said he is hiring organizers in some of those districts, including in Iowa and Nebraska... After stops in Utah and Idaho on Sunday and Monday, Sanders returns to California Tuesday for an afternoon rally in Bakersfield and an evening event in Folsom, near Sacramento.

The Real Threat to World Peace and Prosperity
Please Watch This Video by Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)
It is about Trump using tariffs as blackmail to benefit himself and not the country. Just disgraceful!
x If you haven’t seen this, you need to!
Trump is short-selling America—deliberately tanking the economy so that businesses and entire industries bend the knee and beg him to save them.
Thanks, @ChrisMurphyCT for sounding the alarm.

How Stupid is This Guy?
This is nothing short of the rejection of American political leadership by its traditional allies. The post-World War II world order is collapsing before our eyes. Many rule-based institutions — an integral part of the post-World War II political and economic world order we still live under — are threatened by the Know-Nothings around Trump.
What comes next?
Picking the Wrong Fight
Putin and Trump — Dumb and Dumber

Hypocrites
A New World Order is Emerging
x Stephanie Ruhle is correct. Trump's self-inflicted tariff dumbfuckery has caused a crisis of confidence in America. Our allies are now looking to China for economic sanity. Trump, Peter Navarro, Scott Bessent, and Howard Lutnick have destroyed all trust in America. 😳👇 pic.twitter.com/p347N5FKfc — Bill Madden (@maddenifico) April 12, 2025
Tourism is Seriously Down
x NEW 🧵 The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border. Story: www.ft.com/content/6dc1...
