weekly.

We should encourage people to pass out leaflets and flyers anywhere he rallies.
some of those could be printed up to say:

Independents for Joe Biden 2024 !

Encourage them to think independently this year.

2. Since he's been on trial in Manhattan, he's held rallies in unfriendly venues, New Jersey and now the Bronx

Meanwhile, long-time Republicans have been turning against him - he's losing voters rather than gaining them. And you're right, we need to fight back harder by showing up anywhere that he does.

that elected the first openly gay black man to congress. A stone's throw away from aoc's district.

In a state he has zero chance of whining.

Yeah, real trump country.

This is an aerial shot of Trump (he is at the podium) speaking in the Bronx at Crotona Park yesterday.

It isn’t 40k people. It’s like 3k max.

The conservative media told you over the top lies about this rally.

Trump’s political operation is all tricks and deception.

Wake up.

5. Thanks! On MSNBC they estimated about 7000 rather than the 30,000 they claimed, but it looks much smaller than that

And, as in New Jersey, they showed crowds of people leaving while he was speaking - or boasting/lying/making no sense.
