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 learnedβand the work ahead.

@governor.ny.gov you need to make sure NYS gets vax for all. RFKβs anti-science is going to make people in NYS like me, who arenβt over 65 & donβt have qualifying diseases, sick. Iβm vaxxed to the hilt & have been wearing a mask since 2020. Iβve done MY part. Time to fucking do YOURS & push back.

I donβt 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 whatβs happening now look like childβs 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. Itβs all theater, pre-arranged, scripted.

That βresistanceβ party members cant and wonβt do this is telling. Get people willing to call it out.

The tragedy of the Bernie campaign is not that it was too βpolarizingβ in trying to win, itβs that it didnβt 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.

Have you wondered why your members of congress are hiding from you instead of facing the harm of the GOP-agenda head-on?
It's because...
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social & I are headed to North Carolina for our Town Hall tour! Rep Richard Hudson not only refuses to hold a Townhall, heβs the guy who told Republicans in Congress not to hold any. So weβll do it with @abreezeclayton.bsky.social in his district. RSVP -> mobilize.us/s/OuidJN
