"The essence of Capitalism is to turn nature into commodities, and commodities into Capital. The live green Earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few, and toxic slag heaps for the many."

Compare this to Yang campaign manager @Zach_Graumann who told outlets they couldn’t in good conscience take peoples hard earned money when there was no plausible path to victory for them
Michael Bloomberg has:
- "Never been in favor of⬆️the minimum wage"
- Favored cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid
- Spoken at the RNC in support of George W Bush
- No regrets for supporting the Iraq War
- Compared a teachers union to the NRA
- Championed stop & frisk
It was 2002.
My dad was stop & frisked for having a Muslim name.
He was detained w/o a phone call to his family for hours. We couldn’t report him missing.
That night I went from hospital to hospital to see if unidentified bodies were admitted.
I was 12! #MyBloombergStory
Can I just say how impressively ignorant @msnbc anchors and some contributors are having to be to find a way to snatch the victory narrative away from Sanders. I’m honestly in awe of the mental gymnastics and intentional obtuseness
I'm a muslim immigrant, human rights lawyer, and dem socialist running to replace Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi will never support a Pres. Sanders's agenda. She is out of touch with SF & needs to go.
Help me get to 45k followers, so I can grow our campaign & win.

In New Hampshire, @BernieSanders won
✅ Rural voters
✅ Young voters
✅ Latino voters
✅ Independent voters
✅ Working class white voters without a college degree
We are building the multiracial, multigenerational coalition to defeat Trump.
The degree to which Michael Bloomberg is using his fortune to fundamentally alter & manipulate U.S. politics to his personal advantage extends way beyond ads. I've worked against him, covered him as a journalist & worked with his top aides. Here’s their playbook: (1/17)
Pete polls at 0 percent with black voters and at 1 percent with Latinos.
Pete has already been implicated in several scandals.
Pete polls the weakest of any major candidate against Trump.
Pete would not have any left-leaning voters on his side.
Pete shouldn't be the nominee.
