Saw this earlier on X and thought it was a spoof. Unbelievable. But then that’s a daily feeling with this administration.

Bernie Sanders draws massive crowd during his β€˜Fighting the Oligarchy’ tour in deep-red Utah Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew a crowd of around 15,000 people in deep-red Utah during their β€˜Fighting the Oligarchy’ tour in Salt Lake City on Sunday.

Salt Lake Tribune has an unexpectedly decent article about it. People lined up 7 hours before doors opened. That kinda blows me away.

Sanders: You have a president who is suing ABC and CBS and the Des Moines register. He is threatening to investigate PBS and NPR. He loves media that fawns on him.. If you cannot take the criticism, get the hell out of politics

Our young artist performing in the @ltmuseum gallery this Friday was Agustin Pennino

I found a β€˜dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle β€œDead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

What a story! Poor man. β€œAgents cautioned him that once you’re tagged as dead in the electronic morgue, it floats in the ether and can haunt you again. It’s like there’s a ghost in the machine.”
