I want to acknowledge how humbled I am by all of those who, in the difficult weeks after their favored candidate dropped out, joined us in the fight for progressive values.
I’d love to offer an olive branch to anyone still on the fence. Let’s discuss ur concerns on #hearthebern

Last year, I spoke to @jonfavs in an illuminating conversation about the left/center left divide.
And my chat with @peterdaou, one of Hillary’s strongest advocates in 2016 who now supports Bernie, has been one of my favorites.

I see folks like @ProudResister and. @traceyecorder fighting so hard for Medicare for All and free child care and student debt cancellation because they believed in those principles from Warren’s platform sincerely, and I’m genuinely humbled by their selflessness & consistency.
For #TransDayOfVisibility, here’s thread of #HearTheBern episodes featuring some of my favorite trans allies.

That episode also features @christine4world — first Trans major party nominee for governor — talking about why she supports @BernieSanders.
Listen to Ep 2 of #HearTheBern, on which I interview my colleague who has since become a good friend of mine. She's a type 1 diabetic from a working class immigrant family in Miami.
She had to leave a top 5 college due to cost, & has been largely running our surrogates/comms dept while attending community college. She's hardworking & committed to Bernie bc he's the only candidate fighting so that she doest have to haggle over a $700 bill for an insulin pump.
He's the only candidate who would cancel of her student debt, and who would make it so one of the many excellent public colleges in DC were free to attend. But enjoy your schadenfreude. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2-b…
This week, I addressed the controversy over how to ethically build a "big tent" movement: It doesn't mean moving to the middle to appease an imaginary moderate.
I was glad to be joined by several LGBTQ supporters to address this, including @yovimi & @thrasherxy! #hearthebern

IMPORTANT: The race right now is btwn Bernie & Biden, but the media’s neglect means voters know little abt Biden’s record. Watch & SHARE this new #HearTheBern video, in which @krystalball & @joshfoxfilm explain why his judgment is disqualifying.
Imagine being this dismissive of the most working class, diverse, and female coalition in this race.
Let me tell you about who I spoke to at the rally.

Lucia grew up in the foster care system. She said she has a Bernie tattoo on her forearm bc it’s where people in dispaor cut themselves. But Bernie, she said, “says despair is not an option. So he motivated me. He keeps me focused. He keeps me fired up— do know I’m not a loser. 
"It really is hard for us foster kids, & Bernie has been fighting for us the whole time. Like he's been fighting for our parents -alot of us didn't want to get taken away from our parents. We were only taken away bc our parents were the working poor and couldn't take care of us."
As he works tirelessly to put together one of our best-ever episodes of #HearTheBern out of late clips obtained from Saturday's rally, I just want to shout out our extremely talented podcast producer @wbend.
@wbend This entire podcast is a 2 person job, & b/c of him, we're 29 eps in without a single interruption or delay.

I had the extreme privilege of talking to @CornelWest today for tomorrow's episode of #HearTheBern. Last week, I had the joy of interviewing @harveyjkaye. I can't wait for you to hear these two amazing scholars talk about how the legacy of the New Deal charts a path forward!
@CornelWest @harveyjkaye Don't forget! Video versions of the podcast are available later in the week. Check out our GND episode (22) with @KateAronoff and @dwallacewells here!
For everyone still pretending not to understand how media bias works, @Krystalball breaks it down beautifully here.

“Trump breaths air. You breathe air Bernie. How will voters tell the difference?”

"Rich kids" don't take out loans at an 8% interest rate just for fun.
This is exactly the type of justification used to privatize schools, libraries, and other public services.
Progressive taxation means the wealthy pay more to support public goods. This is basic stuff.
