Showing numbers is so important for the pressure it puts on those in authority, and for showing strength to those who are giving up hope.

For the Americans, please be aware:

*** Sat April 5th: Rally in DC ***
This should be a big one and the link explains rideshare options to help you get there:

If you can't see a ride in your area, check back later or better yet create one.

If you have to miss out on DC, other protests in every single state can be found and joined here:

The sad thing is that it's really only AOC and Sanders. One of these will be retiring soon as well.

AOC has a HUGE uphill battle to fight.

Governor Walz of Minnesota is doing it as well and maybe one or two others. Hopefully them doing it will encourage more Democrats to do the same thing.

I hope Walz can come more to the forefront. I recognize he's not as much of a firebrand as the other 2, but I really worry his reputation is just going to be "Failed Vice Presidential Candidate."

Honestly, assuming there will be 2028 elections, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Tim Walz candidacy. He seems like a very safe bet as a straight white dude who is older but not ancient. The man is about as working class as you can get in politics, he seemed very approachable during the 2024 race, and in general, I think he'd do very well as a candidate.

Yes, I'm not American, but have seen what he has been doing over the last week and am impressed. On the Gavin Newsom podcast he shot down Gavin's glazing of Steve Bannon, ect, by saying they are bad people. Just simple truth. Also a very relatable clip of him saying he checks Tesla stocks to get a shot of dopamine, I do that too 🤣
