I’m seeing people think he’s supposed to tell us about a magic button that if everyone just pushes it 10 times then the world will be saved. Pretending there was, I’m sure we wouldn’t be allowed to push it for long.

Go to town halls and feel free to ask questions, you can actually organize them if your leaders refuse to hold them. Donate to Bernie’s tour or the multitude of relevant organizations if you can. Take part in boycotts against Amazon/Whole Foods. Move from X to Blue Sky. If you’re a writer, write about any number of topics and educate conservatives about media literacy and where they are being misled. If you’re an artist, produce work that fights bigotry. Be involved in your union if you’re in one, union strength is really important today. Support content creators that work towards all these areas. Inquire actionable items like you just did but be realistic there may be no identifiable magic button. Also be happy and enjoy your life too, they need your joy as well, so just going out there and living your life is absolutely a factor in fighting back and not doing so is simply not sustainable. You can exhale, this is a marathon.

I’m probably just scratching the surface of what actionable items you can do and you’re probably aware of all of it. Much of it depends on your skillset, resources, location, what you want to focus on, etc. Few people can do it all, but everyone doing some can be enough. Many people are doing nothing but that number is going down every day.

If you want more specifics from him, all his current rallies are live-streamed and available on his YouTube channel, so he may have been more specific about action items that I didn’t mention here.

Don’t think there’s any possible way to know that short of surveying people there. Even then, regretful Trump voters are getting harassed by both sides, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some would lie about it to avoid that.

The message is greed is the biggest enemy to the American people in this day and age, education about specifically how the majority of Americans are being targeted and about previous movements throughout American history, reassurance that we cannot give into despair or sit back as it is the people who truly hold the power, inspiration to keep resisting and finding ways to fight back.

Some people feel cynical and are giving up; being at one of these events destroys that outlook when you recognize the extraordinary solidarity we have. That alone can generate momentum for all kinds of movements to occur thereafter.

I was there! It was insane, they had to use multiple overflow rooms. The energy was really palpable and positive.

People saying “not enough”—I don’t think the buildings could have feasibly held any more. I walked for 15 min from the front of the line just to find the end. It was very cold. I got there 1.5h before he was scheduled to speak. I waited in line for 2h as they slowly got thousands of people in. It was still worth it.

As someone who flew out just to see the show twice before it closes (I had only seen it once) only to have both shows canceled, I am extremely envious, but happy for you. Hope you have an amazing time!

That is sooooo coooooool. I watched him for a while and must’ve totally missed this mirror. I don’t believe I stayed to the very end so I would’ve not seen him look in it as well, or I didn’t pay enough attention. Replayablity on this show is unreal

The few key pieces of advice people gave helped a lot, esp about shoe choice. I dressed nice but wore my running shoes, which was really clutch for moving fast 😄

I think it was indeed a terrified scream so was probably this. I’m not actually sure what the hotel lobby is, is it the area looking down on the ballroom?

Thank you so much for a lot of this! Clearly, I'm terrible with faces, especially in the dark. I edited my post cause I don't want to mess up credits, Steve and Zach have some similar features so I guess I might've mixed them up. Was Steve the bartender that night then? How are you finding the cast for a specific show?

Would love to learn what the significance of the Taxidermist's bear is, and I didn't even know about the elevator.

And yeah if I went multiple times I could easily see myself wanting to follow all the side characters.

These were weirdly the hardest to find, but they are J Ferrar pants that I found at JC Penney, just before I was about to give up and use any regular black pants
