And when you have a president of the United States that cares more about himself than and his and and and and, you know, and and look, he said it.
He told people.
when he was running, that he would be their retaliation, that he wanted to retaliate against others.
But the people basically sent a message that they want the people's agenda, we the people's agenda, not Donald Trump's agenda.
So hopeful, yes.
But we've got to show up on the streets.
We have to be engaged.
We have to fight for what people need for a better life for themselves and their families.
Thank you so much, Finn.
Thank you.

There are so many people who want to fight for our democracy and say no kings.
And what I've just been told, that in New York City, there are more people in Times Square than there are on New Year's Eve.
So when you get to education, it's like the epitome of taking away opportunity. As you said, the states run schools right now. Localities run schools right now. The federal government, the law that we did in a bipartisan way that we helped shepherd through in the last days of the Obama administration, says that the Department of Education can't do curriculum.
It can't be the human resource officer of schools. It basically is there to fill in opportunity gaps and to ensure that a kid who feels schmiced, a kid who feels like there's an anti-Semitic incident that happened, a kid who is disabled or a kid with disabilities who's not getting the services, they can go to the Department of Education and say, help me.
And the funding, and this will be my last point, the funding is for poor kids. The funding is for kids with disabilities. The funding is for career tech ed pathways. The funding is for kids who are trying to become English proficient. The funding is for rural kids.
The funding is for kids who are going to college as the first one in their families, the first generation to go to college, and they're trying to make it work and have a little scholarship. That's why you saw that kids are basically saying, I'm having none of this because they see their futures being snatched.
Well, first, let me just say thank you for doing all this and thank you for putting the truth out. But when I see video clips like this, I want to go, ah! Because, you know, what the department, what people did not vote, for making their lives worse. They felt that the country is really divided. I mean, you guys know that better than anyone.
But if you look at the small slice of the electorate that actually made the decision that put Trump over the top in the different states, as well as in the popular vote, you heard overwhelmingly My life and my family's life has gotten harder. I want to get ahead. I want the American dream.
I don't want to have my income go all for egg prices or for childcare or, you know, the cost of a home if I can get it or the cost of a car. People want to have a better life. And what you see over and over again in his first actions, it's not just the cruelty. It's not just the chaos. It's not just the confusion.
It's that all of these actions individually and taken together are going to make it harder for Americans. It's going to make it harder for rural Americans or poor Americans or working class Americans to get the education their kids deserve. It's going to make it harder to actually get Social Security. It's going to make it harder to actually work.
