When #AnaliliaMejia, the former political director of #BernieSanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, held town halls during her recent congressional primary race in #NewJersey, she’d invite people to stay afterward for a training on nonviolent resistance to #ICE. Voters, she told me, are desperate “to understand how rising authoritarianism functions, how it’s moved in other countries, how we can best resist it through nonviolence, noncompliance and education.” Running in a special #election to fill the seat formerly held by New Jersey’s new governor, Mikie Sherrill, Mejia was determined to do “more than just traditional politics,” she said.
...She called for ICE to be abolished, not just reformed.
Amid Funding Fight, #BernieSanders Says Unmask ICE, Repeal $75 Billion Giveaway, and More “ICE is out of control, ignoring the law and our Constitution. Congress must vote NO on any additional funding for DHS,” the senator argued as House progressives issued similar demands. https://www.commondreams.org/news/funding-for-dhs

The senator’s demands largely align with the reported demands of Senate Democrats, with whom he caucuses, as well as those of House progressives.
“Senate Democrats will not allow the current DHS funding bill to move forward,” the chamber’s minority leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), said in a Monday statement. “Senate Republicans have seen the same horrific footage that all Americans have watched of the blatant abuses of Americans by #ICE in Minnesota.”
My friends,
How many times does #BernieSanders need to endorse a #Democratic candidate before you stop using #sabotage to attack Democratic candidates?
Seems a rather odd strategy to stand on nobody's shoulders in some strange hallucination about "Corporate Democrats".
Remember #jimmycarter. The Most "progressive" policy was created by the #Carter administration and helped establish the "Progressive" brand we see today. #NoKings !
I consider myself a "progressive" #Democrat because #conservative has now been proven a complete lie for loyalist dupes to hide behind.
Having said that, I know from having US Government experience that the margins are not in favor of Democrats. Even if we manage to "shoot the moon" win in a final measure of the US electorate headed into the 2030s #census.
The canvas should be a long term vision of unity under the #oath or I fear the time we collectively lost in hallucination. #NewsRewind
Almost 15,000 nurses who work for three separate hospital systems have been on strike since 12 January, holding out for increased staffing, better safety in hospitals, and improved #healthcare benefits. The #NewYork State #Nurses Association (NYSNA) has pointed to the giant pay packages that hospital CEOs have received, at a time when #nurses say there are too few of them to adequately care for patients.
The #strike has pulled support from #ZohranMamdani, the #NewYorkCity mayor, and Bernie Sanders, the democratic #socialist Vermont senator, both of whom joined striking nurses outside a Mount Sinai #hospital on Tuesday.
Bad business & bad ethics demands boycott. No CEO in the world is worth that kind of salary. All companies rest on the shoulders of their employees - always.
Starbucks paid its new CEO $96 million for just four months of work. In four years, it has failed to sign a contract with nearly 12,000 of its union workers. This is what corporate greed is all about. I stand with Starbucks workers. Bernie Sanders & @BernieSanders
Senator Bernie Sanders sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his latest book, "Fight Oligarchy." They talk about harnessing the energy of the "No Kings" rallies to build a clear vision for the Democratic party, prioritizing universal healthcare and affordable housing expansion, how Trump has embraced some socialist policies, the danger of corporations and oligarchs regulating the government, and making AI work for working people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUn1A0sEDrc
Los Angeles: Bernie Sanders versammelt Zehntausende Trump-Gegner
"Außerordentliche Gefahr": Bei einer Kundgebung in Los Angeles versammelt Senator Sanders Zehntausende Trump-Gegner. Er warnt vor Oligarchie als Gefahr für die Demokratie - auch auf Seiten der Demokraten.
Warum hat es nur Bernie Sanders in den Teaser und in die Hashtags geschafft?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez war auch dabei. Und sie ist möglicherweise die wichtigste Stimme und Zukunftsperspektve für die Demokraten, denn Bernie ist 83 Jahre alt und daher kaum als der nächste demokratische Präsidentschaftskandidat geeignet.
Aber ja, AOC ist eine Frau, also nicht erwähneswert...?
