It was energizing to see both Bernie and Reverand William Barber today. I’ve admired them both for many years.
I should start by saying that, running through it all was the urgency of a six alarm fire.🔥

Reverend Barber was a surprise speaker.
Both of them emphasized that this unprecedented attack on humanity requires unprecedented resistance by we the ordinary people. Barber specifically spoke about reaching out to the vast number of poor and struggling people in this country, urging and helping them to vote. He speaks as an all embracing preacher, a powerful and courageous force, “We are the army of Love”. We are so fortunate that he is here at this time.

“He’s one of the last honest moral leaders America has left — a civil rights titan who moves mountains despite a spinal disease that turns standing into agony.”

He has been arrested over 15 times.

Bernie is pretty much my north star when I want to know about American policies and how they affect everyday people. He succinctly imparts his knowledge of how the wealth is transferred upward and how billionaires are intent to destroy democracy, and he’s pissed.
We share the same basic sentiments, and amidst all the noise he has always been clear.
They both covered a lot of territory and I’ll post a video below.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m too damn old for this. I hope and pray enough people will push back especially the youth for that’s where a lot of energy resides.
Power to the People.
