Scott Dworkin in the Dworkin Report:
Before we start another week of the Musk and Trump dumpster fire circus act, I’m glad to have plenty of good news for you today. I hope it provides you with a sense of relief, as it does for me. And shows you there are amazing people fighting the maga cult alongside us.
On April 5th, there are massive rallies planned across the country via a coalition of 83 organizations. This includes international labor unions like CWA and SEIU, as well as progressive groups like MoveOn, Indivisible, and DemCast. The event, billed as “Hands Off!” currently has a list of 514 actions planned.
All across America this weekend, at town halls and protests, tens of thousands of people stood up to Trump and DOGE.
Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders finished off the first leg of their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour Saturday—as 23,000 people showed up to rally in Tucson, AZ. In total, the five high-energy events had more than 86,000 people turn out. Denver’s rally was the largest held in the city since 2008.
“We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the United States Congress,” AOC told the roaring crowd. “ … And we’re going to send a message to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and every Republican in the state of Arizona, that we will not be distracted. We got our eyes on the prize, and we will build the nation that we want for ourselves.”
Sanders slammed Trump, saying: “We don’t want a king in the United States, we overthrew our king. We want a vibrant democracy, not all power resting in the hands of one person.”
MN Gov. Tim Walz held another town hall, this time in Rochester, MN—where GOP Rep. Brad Finstad refuses to do in-person town halls of his own. Walz went after Elon, telling the crowd of at least 1,500 people: “We need to make the public understand how truly unpopular this guy is … and we make it a liability.” In response to Walz’s event, Finstad confirmed he has no in-person town halls planned, but said he’s willing to do a cowardly meeting over the phone.
I’ve been watching the videos of the Fighting Oligarchy tour, with Bernie and AOC, and it does a body good:
