Stuff: On the road, Bernie Sanders rallies crowds for his ‘working class movement’
Bernie Sanders launched the next round of his “fighting oligarchy” tour Saturday in Los Angeles, where he and New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew thousands of people to a park across from City Hall as they advanced their effort to build a “working class movement.”
“We are living in a moment of extraordinary danger, and how we respond to this moment will not only impact our lives but it will affect the lives of our kids and future generations,” Sanders said to a crowd that organisers said totalled 36,000 people.

A high school student from Wisconsin killed his parents as part of a larger plot to assassinate US President Donald Trump, the FBI has said.
Nikita Casap, 17, has been charged with the killing of his mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, and his stepfather Donald Mayer, 51, who were found dead at their home on 28 February.
A newly unsealed search warrant also alleges that the suspect’s phone contained material relating to a neo-Nazi group called the Order of Nine Angles and praise for Adolf Hitler.

Pflug is referring to the reverberations of several executive orders made by US president Donald Trump, who in his first weeks of office pulled the US from the Paris Agreement on climate, declared an energy emergency to advance his “drill, baby, drill” agenda to accelerate domestic oil and gas production, repealed predecessor Joe Biden’s efforts to encourage electric vehicles, rolled back environmental regulations and froze green energy funding.
