Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT.

I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learnedβ€”and the work ahead.

@governor.ny.gov you need to make sure NYS gets vax for all. RFK’s anti-science is going to make people in NYS like me, who aren’t over 65 & don’t have qualifying diseases, sick. I’m vaxxed to the hilt & have been wearing a mask since 2020. I’ve done MY part. Time to fucking do YOURS & push back.

This Trump business was always going to be about trying to cover up raping little girls. The Russian beauty pageants, Trump Models, the countless pics at Epstein’s parties, Katie’s testimony, the way he talked about and touched his own daughter…

Tweet from Wired: BREAKING: Metadata shows the FBI’s β€˜raw’ Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified.

Tweet from AOC: Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?

I beg elected Democrats to move through Trump’s second term with the exact energy displayed by @aoc.bsky.social

i know i'm preaching to the choir on Blue Sky, but if you think wearing a mask to prevent disease is tyranny, but kidnapping Latinos off the street is safety, then you are stupid

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Murkowski sold America out to keep her seat, and this allowed Collins to pretend to care enough to vote no. It’s all theater, pre-arranged, scripted.

It’s all so boringly predictable.

There are about ten people left in national politics who will do the right thing. Follow the money.

None of this is hard.

Hit these motherfuckers on kidnapping children, wearing masks and disappearing people, creating concentration camps ringed with alligators and cheering for macabre violence.

That β€œresistance” party members cant and won’t do this is telling. Get people willing to call it out.

Today's endorsement by the hundreds of unions and more than a million workers of @nyclabor.bsky.social is a profound honor and a responsibility to deliver for working people. I will strive to live up to it each and every day as your Mayor.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election.

A new generation of leaders is here.

There’s a provision nestled in President Trump's 1,000 page budget bill that could ban states from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade. Learn how this would affect states’ laws: bit.ly/3SXup2Y

Do they really think they can scare us with the word β€œsocialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

I live in the great state of New York, yet have the worst senators.

Gillibrand supported Cuomo after she went after Al Franken. Yeah, she’s a real champion for women.

Schumer is feckless.

Follow the corp $.

Primary the fuck out of them from the left. AOC & Zohran showed us it can be done.

7 yrs ago, Emily did something that rarely happens: she won a Democratic primary in a district held by an incumbent.

Since then, she's been a thorn in the side of the most powerful corporate special interests in this state.

Now she's taking the fight to the Senate. Please pitch in β€” and share.

This is all so predictably and boringly scripted. Just like everything that happens between Trump and Putin.

Theater for MAGA.

The Republican anti-tax coalition is beginning to disintegrate | David Sirota, Arjun Singh, Ariella Markowitz and Natalie Bettendorf For half a century, the GOP has embraced tax cuts for the rich. But as Americans turn against the idea, the party is divided

70% of Republican voters say they want to raise taxes on the rich, according to new polling data.

Pass it on.

The tragedy of the Bernie campaign is not that it was too β€œpolarizing” in trying to win, it’s that it didn’t polarize hard enough to do what was necessary to win.

Obama was wildly polarizing, went totally scorched earth & destroyed Clinton in 2008 β€” and he won. He did what it took to win.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social & I are headed to North Carolina for our Town Hall tour! Rep Richard Hudson not only refuses to hold a Townhall, he’s the guy who told Republicans in Congress not to hold any. So we’ll do it with @abreezeclayton.bsky.social in his district. RSVP -> mobilize.us/s/OuidJN
