at least that's my understanding.

Someone said the arena seats 15k.

Day after day we have awful Trump news. Bernie and AOC’s rallies are a bright spot during such difficult times.

to know the difference between what is the truth and what is the lie. These people are rallying for truth, justice and liberty.

Fire Marshals are telling the crowd to clear the walkways. That's going to be impossible.
FYI, I'm doing this on my phone which isn't easy. Never been on DU with my phone. But if there's interesting news, Ill let you know.

Rec

and I can only view about 1/5 of it. People are sitting on top of 10' high walls out here. I hear massive screaming coming from inside.

He's talking to us before going inside. A great speech.

there are a minimum of 10,000 outside the arena. Where they couldn't hear or see the monitors they were huddled around their phones and tablets viewing the rally inside. I'm good at crowd estimates. 10,000 would be a conservative estimate outside, so 25,000 all together.
They were not prepared for such a crowd.
But. we outsiders had a special visitation from AOC and Bernie, and when she walked out the crowd went wild chanting AOC. It was quite crazy and exciting.

Another big protest coming up next week at the capitol building.

Is leaving Utah. The reason? Hate. Terrible stuff the governor says and laws passed to hurt people.

Come on Utah. Stop the hate.

It was all cheers for breaking fascist trumpism and boos for the dismantling of our government. There were huge ripping boos and yelling when Gov Cox and Mike Lee were mentioned. They are not liked.

Please take back your state. It’s so beautiful.

We're doing our best. There's a protest at the capitol this weekend. They get bigger every time.

Wish I could join you. Go Utah!

and gave us a bit of a drenching but no one moved and inch. We weren't going anywhere.

I tried to put up some things here to give us hope. Sometimes the magic works.

good night.

Talking about the movement.

I wish I could have gotten some pics but the crowd was pretty tight and I didn't think they would have been usable.

The news is saying 20,000 attended, 15k in the arena and 5,000 outside. No way. I stand by my estimate of 10,000+ outside. It's common for the local media here to underestimate anything not right wing.

I really do believe we should keep this up. Different people in different ways, short stops, long stops with events. They should always be out there doing something. It is so much different than trying to be excited and interested in people doing what they do quietly in their office.

Thanks for all if this. I saw Bernie twice and I already loved him but man he gives a good rally.

There's a lot to learn from these two.
