Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.

In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. 

Let's steal those ideas.

Why are the two richest men in this country having a space race when there are children going to bed hungry every night?

Now that the donor-loved privatization-on-steroids bipartisan infrastructure deal got passed watch BBB bill get stripped further down to a special VIP coupon to get into Best Buy an hour early before Black Friday starts

.@jamesNorth7 reported from my sentencing that Judge Preska said "only the proverbial two-by-four between the eyes" will force me to respect the law.

I respect the law. 6 appellate courts and 28 judges validated the $9.5b pollution case against Chevron.

Tks to @AOC for the support. Requesting the DOJ abide by the new legal order from the United Nations that I be released immediately from arbitrary detention.

In 11 days, 10-20 million people in America face eviction. Maybe something should be done about that?

[James Scott @LongerTables]

Please look though this string. I have not analyzed every number but we are clearly 1,200 to $1,500 easy. With many numbers much higher.
Now add:
Car
Home n car insurance
Healthcare
Utilities
Food
Gas
Clothing
Savings “ha not possible”

$15hr is not close to enough money

Albert Einstein warned in 1949 that the time would come when the very rich so controlled the means of communication that it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to make informed decisions and so democracy would then be broken.

We live in the time Einstein warned about

The economy should exist to serve people; people should not exist to serve the economy.

Shout out to @ninaturner for running for Congress! It's not easy! I speak from experience. Donate if you can.

We must not let Cuomo’s personal flaws distract from his political achievements, which were also terrible

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

There is a deep problem in our democracy when the Executive branch is willing to bend over backwards to defer to arcane Senate rules to deny Americans a $15 wage but at the same time ride roughshod over Congressional rules & procedures to launch military strikes abroad.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

So when they said $2k checks immediately, what they actually meant was $1400 checks, whenever we get to it, after bombing Syria and abandoning the minimum wage hike. Good luck in the midterms! ✨✨

If you stick a knife in my back 9inches & pull it out 6inches there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out there’s no progress. Progress is healing the wound. And they haven’t pulled the knife out, much less heal the wound.They won’t even admit the knife is there #MalcolmX

We can expand Medicare to every single person in our country during this national emergency.

[Nomiki - @nomiki.bsky.social @NomikiKonst]

See the thing about being the head of an institution that receives hundreds of millions of $ from corporations & foreign interests is, when you harass people on Twitter it spills into real life. Reporters pick up on it. Humans buy into it. You’ve signal boosted it into reality.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

The @nytimes doesn’t want you to know it, but I am damn proud of the accomplishments @SenSanders and our staff have achieved in the Senate and the House - both inside and outside the beltway. Here's just 20 of our achievements in the two decades I’ve worked for him. (Thread)
