Across the U.S., tens of thousands have been attending rallies held by the Vermont Senator, who says that the nation is moving rapidly toward what he calls an oligarchy influenced by billionaires.

Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders warned the U.S. faces an “unprecedented level of danger” under Trump, citing the rise of oligarchy and billionaire control of politics, including Elon Musk’s growing influence.

Speaking at packed rallies, Sanders criticized both parties for enabling inequality and called America a “pseudo-democracy.”

He denounced Trump’s attacks on law firms, Musk’s federal layoffs, and corporate political spending.

At 83, Sanders remains active, urging Democrats to reconnect with working-class voters and stop prioritizing wealthy donors. He sees a constitutional crisis, not just a political fight.

    Yup. I’m in my 30s and my (now retired) parents legitimately are like “come over for dinner but no politics!” My brother is a couple years younger (also in his thirties) and has fallen so blindly to the Facebook misinformation MAGA loop. And it’s really frustrating to just pretend like everything is fine. I love my family, but they are fucking stupid and it’s exhausting to play dollhouse with them like we don’t live in the world we do.
