No clue how accurate it is, but people are saying that HRC is going to show up at the end of Bernie's speech, just like Obama did at the end of hers in 2008. If that happens, all hell will break loose. I predict that there will be massive boos and walkouts. This is a very different situation from 2008, where the legitimacy of the candidate is in question and the delegates haven't even cast their votes yet. It would be a completely tone deaf move to make, which is why I wouldn't put it past her.

From OP-ED: On Immigration We Can’t Trust the Clintons

While it would be unfair to directly connect Secretary Hillary Clinton to her husband’s deplorable record on immigration, it is fair to say she cannot link herself to her husband’s popularity and presidency, while being free of criticism of his record on immigration and the border. This is especially true when Clinton, as first lady, worked against progressive immigration policies and in support of damaging ones.

...

In anticipation of this massive exodus of farming communities, the Clinton administration implemented the deadliest immigration policy in American history. “Operation Gatekeeper” dramatically increased border enforcement along the Texas and California borders, driving immigrants toward the dangerous Arizona desert. Sold as a “deterrent” to border crossings, these “border security” measures not only ignored the humanitarian crises in Mexico and Central America, but created the deadly policy of sealing off the traditional border crossing points and pushing people to dangerous terrain, resulting in over 6,000 deaths, and many more thousands missing.

President Clinton’s 1996 IIRIR law set the stage for the criminalization of immigrants, the indefinite detention of immigrants, the growth of private prisons, the concept of self-deportation and the use of “secret evidence.” IIRIR also created of the notorious section 287(g) that funds the racist local law enforcement and detention made popular among immigrant bashers by Sheriff Joe Arpiao and intellectual allies like Kris Kobach.

it is for people trying to crossing the border into this country.
There are groups that leaves caches of water so people don't die from dehydration and the video shows how border patrol agents destroy them.
The video is 48 minutes long but well worth watching.

I was just telling my sister up in Canada about how many die in the desert every year as they are pushed to cross farther & farther east to escape the upgraded technology meant to stop them. Now the technology is no longer needed as the desert takes its own toll of "crossers" & those who do try are helped along by humanitarians that provide water & food caches for them through the treacherous & deadly paths they follow. Then I told her about the murderous fucks who search out & destroy the lifeblood reserves of food & especially water, not only to thwart the "crossers", but to murder them since after all, they are just dispensable "brown people".
There is a place in hell for those people, & I do hope they get there soon, since eternity starts the moment they arrive.
I shall send my sister the provided link.
Thank you.

I campaigned for her run as a U.S. Representative. Gun-loving Blue Dog turned librul from Rensselaer County, NY, who was literally appointed the junior senator from New York by one of our many scandal-ridden, one-term governors when Hill left the senate to run for prez. She's an ass-kisser who worked for white shoe Manhattan law firm. Had similar career trajectory to Clinton's, without the constant scandals.

Multiple diaries about Bernie's supporters of course l
One person wrote about how terrified she is if Trump wins and of course, it's an echo chamber in the comments.
Many are saying that if Trump wins it will be Bernie's and his supporters fault.
I'm sure that picking one of the most corrupt, mistrusted and hated candidate wouldn't have anything to do with the results, right?
People had the chance to elect the opposite of Hillary and that includes the DNC and most of the Democratic Party.
Instead, they threw that chance away .

...that if they don't want Trump to win then they had better make damn sure that Clinton gets more votes than Trump. it isn't up to us, it up to them. if they are in the blame game then they would have to blame every independent voter that doesn't vote for Clinton, not just disgruntled progressives, so that doesn't fly with me.

There is no life and conviction in most of these speeches. None of them sound credible.

Check that, Al Franken's speech right now has a little life.

I'm wondering though who this person people are talking about who is dedicated to helping "other people" who aren't billionaires. Hillary Clinton isn't it.

"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me

Nobody seems to understand why Bernie's delegates are so pissed and why there's coordinated booing by so many people. Even Cenk and Ana don't seem to get it, although Jimmy is getting floor updates directly from delegates who are getting pissed that they're being told to shut up. I bet that the establishment will freak out when people start booing Elizabeth Warren. People have been waiting to give her a piece of their mind for a month.

It's amazing to me that they don't think that the mood of Bernie's delegates extends outside the convention, or that a majority of the people who voted for him feel the same way. They think it's just isolated to some radical fringe or something. They're all in for a rude awakening in November.
