Biden cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline with the stroke of a pen today may have seemed easy.
But it wasn’t.
It’s the result of tireless constant pressure and organizing starting over ten years ago.
When we organize, we win.
Even if that means we win ten years later.
So, lemme get this straight:
San Francisco under 24 hr lockdown.
New Orleans says no gatherings larger than 10 people.
CDC says no gatherings larger than 50.
NYC shut down!
And yet
@dnc
is gonna have a primary where thousands of people will be in line??
#PostponethePrimaries
An 8pm curfew means that the
@NYCMayor
just took away all the income and wages of everyone who works past 8pm. Which is half this city. I’m sure that’s a greater loss of money than any looting in nyc.
The subway should be free.
All public transportation should be free.
Fares are a poor tax.
They don’t mean a thing to the rich, they penalize the poor and middle class. Abolish them.
#PublicTransportation
If anyone wants to know why we were so adamant that
@BernieSanders
be the Dem nominee in 2016 and 2020, it’s because we were terrified that
@JoeBiden
,
@KamalaHarris
and the
@DNC
would utterly fail to fight for us.
This is exactly what is happening now.
This is what we feared.
This is me getting arrested in the Capitol in 2012 for legally documenting a hearing on
#fracking
.
I was charged with “unlawful entry”.
There were two dozen cops present. I was arrested within 15 mins.
Never doubt what happened today.
Capitol police were complicit today.
I’m the child of Holocaust Survivors. This kind of genocidal violence in Israel must be called out for what it is. This is totally unacceptable. Occupation is a crime. Our heritage should forbid us from engaging in this horrendous violence. We must address the cycle and end it
What is happening in Israel is horrifying.
As a Jew, grandson of Holocaust survivors I say this:
It is the cycle of violence manifest. Jews, once the victims of ethnic cleansing, have become the ethnic cleansers.
It is always this way.
Peace can’t be built on nationalism.
I’m no longer worried about
@JoeBiden
winning the election.
It’s very clear that he will.
I’m worried about
@realDonaldTrump
trying to destroy democracy and actively inciting violence in his supporters.
It’s very clear that he will.
And that’s incredibly dangerous.
There is no way that
#NYC
will abide or survive an 8pm curfew. It’s a recipe for total disaster. It will lead to more violence and more unrest.
The
@NYCMayor
needs to go to
@barclayscenter
with the heads of city council and sit down with the leaders of
#BlackLivesMatter
ASAP
Rubber bullets are NO JOKE.
They kill 2% of people that get hit.
They seriously injure about 40%
These are not non lethal, they are less lethal.
These weapons must not be normalized. They must be banned as inhumane & unacceptable.
Cops shoot more bc they think they can
We need a fundamental overhaul of the
#NYPD
. And we need a fundamental overhaul of
#NYC
.
We need economic, racial and environmental justice in this city. It is long overdue.
Bill- come out from hiding and listen to us. We need to reshape this city.
It is so sad. I was born in New York City. We used to innovate and lead.
Now we are fodder for Wall Street hatchet men and violent white supremacists.
We need to take back this city.
We can do it.
Please Iowans.
Please.
For the love of our country.
And our climate.
And our decency.
And our democracy.
And our veterans.
And our students.
And all the sick needing medical care.
And our environment.
And our need for racial and economic equality.

I was blacklisted by
@msnbc
in 2016. I was a regular on many shows for nearly a decade. I have not been asked back on a single time since I declared for
@BernieSanders
in April 2016.
It’s not a BLACKOUT
It is a BLACKLIST.
Its very clear to me that
@staceyabrams
and
@AndrewGillum
won their races. It is clear that voter suppression and other forms of fraud are attempting to steal the will of the people and install white supremacists as Governors.
Ok here it is:
@BernieSanders
and
@ewarren
are NOT the same.
Bernie is a true revolutionary.
Of course,
@ewarren
would be my second choice. She’s ok.
But every democrat that lost in the last 40 years was my second choice.
And I wanna win this time. Badly.
#FeelTheBern
I saw more pepper spray aimed at peaceful protestors at Standing Rock.
I saw more tear gas in the streets of Minneapolis.
I saw more rubber bullets in Portland against
#BLM
.
I saw more arrests at anti-fracking protests!
Than I have today as terrorists stormed the capitol.
Dear
@NYCMayor
and
@NYGovCuomo
(and all mayors and governors in the USA)- if you are against police brutality then why is your response more police brutality???
This makes no sense.
You need to sit down with
#BlackLivesMatter
and community leaders and make changes NOW!
There’s a lot of talk about
@BernieSanders
decision to stay in the race.
I think he needs to stay in and I’m going to outline why in this thread.
As a people’s movement, so many of our positions are overwhelmingly supported by the majority (cont.)
This made smile ear to ear.
Then cry my eyes out.
Watch this.
The political revolution is on.
It’s about love and healing and transformation.
We must change America!
#WithTheseHands
I’m not necessarily afraid of
#coronavirus
for myself.
But that doesn’t mean I’m not taking every possible precaution- not going out, washing hands constantly, social distancing.
Why?
Because I will not be a vector.
I refuse.
I will protect my elders.
#StayHome
people
Ridiculously,
@CNN
and
@donlemon
are interviewing the
#Nypd
chief and they are saying that protestors started the beatings at the brooklyn bridge. So what is this??? People running through the streets away from cops.
After several decades of watching presidential debates, I conclude that it doesn’t matter who “won” the debate at all.
Why?
Because
@BernieSanders
is still the only true advocate for the people and the rest are just masquerading corporate shills.
He’s unique.
#FeelTheBern
50% of the plastic on the planet was CREATED in the LAST 15 years.
Why?
Did you know that fracked gas is a crucial ingredient in plastic?
#FrackedPlastic
is destroying the ocean, and our bodies.
Who pushed
#fracking
like crazy in the last fifteen years?
@JoeBiden
did.
I helped shoot this video with
@BernieSanders
in South Carolina last week. I’ve never seen a candidate more passionate about clean water in America. Thank you
#bernie
!!
#WaterIsLife
Please watch and Share!!!
This is the richest country on Earth and our people don't have clean water.
That's an international disgrace.
Our solution: the WATER Act, which would create more than a million jobs to overhaul our nation's water infrastructure.
Anyone saying that rioting and looting and destroying the police station in Minneapolis is counterproductive doesn't understand the rage that needs to be expressed by communities that are being murdered by police every day or the horrific the system that defends those murders.
The climate is telling us: business as usual will end human life as we know it. This is a state of emergency. We need to get off fossil fuels right now. Thank you to
@SenSanders
,
@AOC
,
@billmckibben
,
@MichaelEMann
@EricHolthaus
and many others for being strong consistent voices!
The military police in Peru have killed over 50 protestors.
This is my report on how Peru’s neo-colonialist government and big oil are conspiring to displace and destroy indigenous tribes and poor farmers in Peru. Please read and share.
I don’t think
@IlhanMN
should have apologized. She spoke the truth. She was quoting a rap song. The reactions of outrage should be against genocide in Gaza, not comments about lobbying firms buying senators. We Jews have a right to exist. We don’t have a right to oppress.
It is beyond ridiculous that the response to these protests is to use the cops and the carceral state. This needs peaceful negotiations. This needs deep dialogue.
This needs leadership.
What we get is tear gas, rubber bullets, beatings and gestapo tactics.
It must end.
Terrifying. Clear. We need a massive peaceful revolt. We need to stop this administration in its tracks and get the republicans out of control of both houses in 2018. Period.
Let’s talk about
@ewarren
-
1) deciding to call herself a Native American - when she was actually a descendent of colonialists is a huge self-inflicted mistake. It is also deeply hypocritical.
2) So is meeting with
@HillaryClinton
3) So is accepting corporate $$$
See a pattern?
Spoiler Alert:
Bernie does not get his nails done.
He does, however, show that he is the candidate that will defeat Donald Trump.
THANKS
@iamcardib
#FeelTheBern
Greatest news of the century so far.
We have just won a complete and total ban on
#fracking
in the Delaware River Basin.
The fight that started Gasland.
The fight for 16 million people’s water.
The fight for a national treasure.
When we organize we win.
#DRBCfrackingBan
14,000 troops at the border: This is where the policy has been heading this whole time. First you normalize separating families and kidnapping children. Then you normalize militarization. Next, they will try to normalize shooting refugees. This is how racist genocide starts.
"There has been only one candidate who has been with you the whole time. When Bernie Sanders walks into the White House... we walk into the White House together." -
@joshfoxfilm
Meghan McCain is a warmonger. She openly attacked me for opposing the escalation of the war in Afghanistan in its 17th year. She mocks the peace process. She is a hypocrite and a bigot and should not be speaking on behalf of Jews or anyone. She’s a deeply dangerous person.
I used to be on
@msnbc
all the time. Once I declared for Bernie in 2016- I was never asked on again. It was a virtual blacklist. They’re horrible. Such a shame.
This is the most important video you’ll watch all year.
If you want to understand America today, you must look at the horrific inequalities.
Thanks
@BernieSanders
, for always being on the job.
Raw sewage drains into Pamela Rush's backyard. Her children are exposed to mold. She still owes $15,000 on her mobile home.
Systemic injustices trap millions of people like Pamela in poverty. Our mission is to find them a way out.
I can't contain my rage about this tax bill. America's infrastructure is falling apart. Our schools, roads and hospitals are some of the worst in the industrialized world, we have rampant economic, social, racial and environmental inequality and yet we refuse to tax the rich.
Wonderful lunch in South Carolina speaking with
@BernieSanders
and
@ninaturner
and
@CornelWest
about clean water in America. We must be good stewards of our water tables and fight for clean water as a right for every American!
Why would Nancy Pelosi attack four pioneering brilliant women of color in her own party? Whywhywhy?
She has to go.
She’s ridiculously out of touch.
@SpeakerPelosi
Millions are without power and in peril because of this winter storm.
It’s not a “freak” storm it’s a consequence of climate change.
Our infrastructure must be upgraded and overhauled to be able to protect people from the climate crisis.
We need a Green New Deal now.
Wow.
@JoeBiden
has been pushing
#fracking
across the world since 2008.
One intense exchange with
@BernieSanders
and he reverses his position & says “no new Fracking”
That’s why you vote for Bernie. That’s why leadership matters. That’s why a grassroots movement supports Bernie.
This is a real test of the idea of government at every level.
Can the government actually respond to this crisis with sanity?
Sanity would be immediate dialogue, immediate change.
This requires an immediate democratic response. Not the immediate state violence we are seeing.
I’m a New Yorker. I’m a Democrat. And I voted for
@ZephyrTeachout
over Andrew Cuomo,
@NomikiKonst
over everyone, and supported
@AOC
over Joe Crowley. VOTED against
@WorkingFamilies
each time-WFP no longer represents progressives. They are craven Dem power brokers.
#FeelTheBern
I interviewed
@DrJillStein
's campaign manager last year. I offered to help build the Green Party coast to coast for 4 years if they dropped out in swing states. They never answered. They were NOT a serious campaign. It was a sham. And it was incredibly destructive.
The scientists are clear. We do not have time to waste. We need a Green New Deal. We must ban fracking. We must transition to 100% renewable energy as quickly as possible.
New York could be a real leader here. If the gov’t could just respond with democracy and not brutality and authoritarianism.
When folks complain to you, is your response to hit them?
Abuse them?
I hope not.
This is the same.
We need real action and change.
It is possible.
Dear all Americans:
@BernieSanders
is not a threat.
His campaign is an answer.
An answer to economic inequality.
An answer to wars (ending them)
An answer to unfair healthcare (Medicare for all).
He’s only a threat to Billionaires robbing us blind. (And the media)
#NotMeUs
Wow. We are watching the oligarchy defend itself by messing with the electorate in real time.
For too long Wall Street, Big Pharma and the fossil fuel industry has owned both parties.
We can take one of them back.

See below. And thank you to...
This is totally utterly shocking.
Even the most casual observer can see that the Democrats are deeply mishandling the Iowa Caucuses and are now in the process of undermining the best candidate to beat Donald Trump.
It is almost as if they would rather have Trump than Bernie.
