I vote today with a broken heart...for what could have been! @SenSanders @BernieSanders

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Many Americans are giving up on democracy.

They look to the government for help, and nothing changes.

They are willing to look to authoritarianism as a substitute.

If we care to preserve democracy, we should pay attention to the long-neglected needs of the working class.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Ordinary Americans get one vote apiece.

Billionaires get to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to Super PACS that elect their friends & defeat political opponents.

If we believe in democracy, we must overturn Citizens United and begin the public funding of elections.

Remembering James Baldwin, born 100 years ago today in Harlem, New York. Here he is being interviewed in the 1980s documentary "The Price of the Ticket."

Dems, we love your use of “weird” to describe Trump & Vance. But when there are 140 million poor & low wage ppl struggling to make it in this country, it’s also weird to not speak to them.

Governor Walz passed universal school lunch.

Governor Bashear reinstated voting rights for over 100k people with felonies.

Vice President Harris can choose a running mate that doesn’t alienate a large proportion of the Democratic base, because this ain’t it ⬇️

Here’s why we have to overturn Citizens United & end Big Money in politics:

Billionaire Reid Hoffman donated $7 million to the Harris campaign.

Now, he wants her, as president, to fire an outstanding members of the Biden Administration, FTC Chair Lina Khan. Not acceptable.

No president of America has ever given birth - I don’t understand why it’s suddenly an issue

[Moshik Temkin @moshik_temkin]

Worth recalling that the only reason Biden is President now is because, after he finished 5th in NH Dem primary in 2020, Obama persuaded all the other candidates to drop out and endorse Biden in order to stop Bernie Sanders, who was in 1st place (and crushing Trump in the polls)

Sitting is not a crime.
Resting is not a crime.
Sleeping is not a crime.
Camping is not a crime.
Being poor is not a crime.
Needing help is not a crime.

Homelessness is not a crime, it’s a policy failure.

CNN is illustrating how a “debate”where the moderators reject the basic responsibility of fact-checking in real time, and refuse to challenge blatantly false statements, is not a debate. It’s a chaos where lies are given equal footing with the truth.

Do not forget this. NYC Mayor Eric Adams is still fighting to gut NYC public libraries & public schools while the NYPD just blew past their allotted budget by $100 million in overtime alone. $100 million would fund the library & school cuts with tens of millions to spare.

Reaction from Tom Modica, rail mechanic in Chicago who got Covid 2x: “The fact that they are willing to force a contract down our throats to keep the railroads from shutting down means we’re important. But they get sick days, and we’re out here in the snow all day & we don’t"

[Railroad Workers United ✊ @railroadworkers]

This is a legacy defining moment for Joe Biden. He is going down as one of the biggest disappointments in labor history.
