Cyndi Lauper & Laura Dern ✌️

If billionaires can afford to zoom around in rocket ships, to buy superyachts and mansions with 25 bathrooms, yeah, I think they can afford to pay their fair share of taxes.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Congratulations to the Starbucks workers in Buffalo, Rochester & Brighton, New York for successfully voting to form unions in 3 more coffee shops. Starbucks workers have now won 13 of 14 union elections. I am so proud of what they are accomplishing. Keep up the great work!

BREAKING: Congress just reintroduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

This is huge.

Walmart workers are the biggest recipients of food stamps and Medicaid in most states.

Walmart also has $13.7 billion in annual profit, record $573B in revenue, raised investor dividends for 49 straight years and pays its CEO $22.6M.

Taxpayers are subsidizing corporate profits.

As you grow old, you should not have to worry about how you're going to afford to keep teeth in your mouth. We must expand Medicare to cover dental care, hearing aids, and eyeglasses.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

There will be no real social progress in this country unless we have the courage to take on Wall Street, the insurance companies, the drug companies, the fossil fuel industry, and all other forces of greed.

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

I absolutely cannot wait to face Rand Paul on the debate stage.

If you want to see that too, hit RT!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This pandemic makes it clear how dysfunctional our healthcare system is. Not only do we pay the highest prices in the world, we can’t even produce the number of doctors and nurses that we desperately need. Let us not give up the struggle for Medicare for All.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, our younger generations have a lower standard of living than their parents did at their age.

Meanwhile, the cost of housing is 72% higher and the cost of college is 163% higher than it was 20 years ago – after adjusting for inflation.

The time for action is NOW.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Why should we accept a reality in which the rich have so much while so many have so little?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Who gives a damn what a handful of corporate donors want from Congress? I listen to the people — and here's what the people say:
88% want lower RX drug costs
84% want to expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing
73% want paid family and medical leave

Let's do it.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

What if we did something “radical” and built a government that fought for working class people, and not just billionaires?

[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

The function of privatized charities run by billionaires is not to do social good. Is the same function as privatizing anything else: to prevent democratic oversight, and ensure that the capitalist class controls and directs all labor, even labor for social good.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

As part of the Reconciliation Bill, Americans want to lower prescription drug costs (88%) and expand Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing (84%). Both proposals are strongly opposed by drug companies and private insurance. The Dems must stand with the people, not fold.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Medicare for All would save 70,000 lives and $450 billion per year. It would also save the average American family $2,400 per year and nobody would ever go bankrupt from medical bills again. That’s a big deal.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I believe in the radical idea that government should deliver for the interests of the people, not the wealthy elite and corporations.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Here in Washington, when we go to war: there's endless amounts of money

Tax breaks for billionaires: endless amounts of money

But when we want to support working American families, suddenly we don't have enough money. Unacceptable.
