Old video of Bernie talking about protesting police brutality. He would have been the best president at this moment in time đź’”

following Bernie around all day, it's rare to hear any reporter ask about what's in the reconcilation bill, why it's important, how it will change America, why in this moment, how many lives are at stake. it's drama over substance every time, that's just 101.
It’s always the press’s fault and never the fault of the people communicating something. That’s just 101

If it becomes clear that the only way to influence a congressperson is by giving them money, then people without money are going to bother them in the bathroom. That's the deal.

I've heard a lot from the punditry as to why Nina Turner lost her race in Ohio. Well, maybe it had something to do with drug companies, Wall Street and the fossil fuel industry spending millions trying to defeat her. Is that the kind of Democratic Party we want? I don't think so.

Don't anyone forget that the DNC changed the rules to keep Sen. Mike Gravel off the debate stage and then later changed them again to get Billionaire Michael Bloomberg into the debates. RIP to an Mike Gravel, an American hero. This is the ad that the establishment raged against.

Jane and I are saddened by the passing of Sen. Mike Gravel. He was dedicated to ending forever wars and bringing more Americans into the political process. His courage will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

We are sad to announce that Senator Mike Gravel passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, at his home in Seaside, California. He was 91, and had lived the fullest live anyone could have ever wanted. We will miss him every day.

Proud to be running a campaign that is 100% focused on working people. I’m not taking any corporate PAC or lobbyist money. While the establishment is doing everything they can to stop our movement, we will continue elevating the issues. Chip in today👇🏾 https://t.co/DD6uDgOU89

Nina is running to represent US, not corporate lobbyists or big donors.

Once again, we've been told that #MedicareForAll or even just slightly reducing the Medicare eligibility age would be too "disruptive." No. What's disruptive is 68,000 Americans dying each and every year because they can't afford to see a doctor on time. That's too disruptive.

Last year, Apple made $59 billion in profits and spent $77 billion in stock buybacks. 100% of iPhone microchips come from Taiwan. Instead of demanding that Apple invest in U.S. microchips, the Senate is about to vote on $52 billion in corporate welfare to the micro-chip industry.

@mtgreenee All you do is promote hate. Hate is destroying our country. (Oh, and Berkeley is spelled with an "e" after the k.)

The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for U.S. aid to support human rights violations.

This is happening with the support of the United States. I don’t care how any spokesperson tries to spin this. The US vetoed the UN call for ceasefire. If the Biden admin can’t stand up to an ally, who can it stand up to? How can they credibly claim to stand for human rights?
Oh my god. The building where al Jazeera’s office is housed has just been taken down by Israeli airstrikes. There was a warning and evacuated. It houses offices and private homes. I can’t believe it.

Standing behind an elderly woman at @cvspharmacy and she’s buying insulin. $1200. She’s visibly upset, and I’m trying not to cry also. Pharmacist says “well at least your insurance paid for over half bc the cash price is over $3000” HOW HAVE WE LET THEM CONVINCE US THIS IS OKAY?
