I am on my way to the #BernieSanders #AOC rally in Denver at the capitol. The bus I am on is standing room only and every bus stop along the way is packed with people headed to the rally. This is going to be a massive event. The mood is pretty energetic in here, with a lot of younger and many older people excited to be a part of a historic event.

There is one entrance to the #BernieSanders #AOC rally in #Denver, on Broadway. The queue to get inside the rally area completely encircles Civic Center Park. There are thousands of people queued up who probably won't get inside before the rally starts. Overflow spaces are also filling up; I'm camped at the Greek Theater at the south side of the park. It is exhilarating to see so many people here. So much shared grief and frustration at the destruction, and at the inaction and passive timidity of elected officials, and also joy in community and solidarity.

There was an absolute SEA of people, at least 25,000 in the entire civic center area. it's hard to show or even explain the scale short of using a drone to take an aerial photo. Here's one that was shared by a friend who was standing on the third-floor balcony at the Capitol, a block away. People filled the venue and every available open space for two full city blocks in every direction. And the crowd was FIRED UP not just because of the Republicans, but because they are angry that corporatist Democrats aren't defending the country, either.
