.@BernieSanders Senator, this is a bad idea, and it's a bad look. I say this with respect: don't do this. Give @StaceyAbrams the stage tomorrow night. All of it.
I would say this to any elected official in Congress. Just don't do this, @BernieSanders. Please. You have a wonderful opportunity here to build some bridges and more importantly: allow for undivided attention to be given to @StaceyAbrams on a national stage. Please rethink this.
Just one day. That's all. Wait until the little hand does two complete cycles and have at it. Why is that so much to ask? Why is @BernieSanders choosing the same night as the first Black woman to deliver a State of the Union response? It is so damn disrespectful.

It's true! Sanders joins Harris, Warren, Brown, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Booker, and Gabbard among *current* federal-level elected officials who have perfect scores from @HRC.

So, basically, everyone who fits that particular description had a perfect score in 2018.
And if Merkley joins the race, he also has a perfect score from HRC.

Biden, Castro, Hickenlooper, Buttigieg, Inslee, Bullock, Bloomberg, McAuliffe, and Kerry are not current federal-level elected officials, and have no score.

O'Rourke left Congress with a score of 100 in 2018.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is: a score of "100" is laudable and marks excellent LGBTQ allyship in Congress, but it's not a distinguishing factor in this group of candidates. Which is a good thing!

I can't believe Ralph Northam briefly considered demonstrating the Moonwalk in a press conference as a way to prove he dressed in blackface as Michael Jackson for a dance contest in the '80s in order to convince folks he didn't appear in blackface in a photo on his yearbook page.
I cannot believe how close we came to seeing that. Would there have been a rip in the fabric of the space-time continuum? Would we have all died?
I'm guessing at least 70% of the folks who follow my feed but aren't watching this press conference think I'm joking. I am not joking. This is actually happening.

Tomorrow night, President Trump delivers his State of the Union Address. He will likely talk about the “national emergency” that he says is taking place at the border and the need to unify around his “wall” agenda.
The first claim is false; the second is disingenuous. There is no national emergency. Nor has the president ever been interested in achieving national unity. President Trump is a polarizing president who aims to divide.

To remember a president who delivered his SOTU message during a real emergency and rallied the country to be unified, let’s go back to January 1942.

This is an interview with Michelle Alexander from April 2016. I re-watched it last week and I am surprised that more people don't know about it and that it still only has 59,000 views as of January 2019. In this interview, Michelle Alexander endorses the "political revolution."
It's a great interview and here's the clip if you want to watch the whole thing, but I will provide a transcript of the first three minutes to give you a sense of what she says to @chrislhayes. #BernieSanders #Bernie2020 #OurRevolution @OurRevolution
Michelle Alexander, by the way, is the author of The New Jim Crow, Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, and I highly recommend the book, too, as it provides a tremendous insight into the racial injustice inherent in the U.S. mass incarceration era. @thenewjimcrow

I think it's time for the nation to realize that there is more footage of #BernieSanders hanging out with Russians then there is of him hanging out with POC.

#NeverBernie2020 #NeverBernie #Bernie2020
I mean... anyone have any back story on Valery Volovenko? Who was apparently hanging out with him when he was elected to congress in 1990?

I mean WTF... "Israeli and American journalists made many attempts to find out where Bernie Sanders lived in 1964, but all the searches and surveys...have not yet yielded a clear result. What is the secret behind the Israeli period of the life of Sanders, one can only guess."

Today is the Jayanti of Punjab Kesari, Lala Lajpat Rai, one of the great freedom fighters, part of the Lal-Bal-Pal trio, founder of DAV, an inspiration to many other revolutionaries,a man who stood up for Hindu causes. A true Lion of Punjab.
Lala Lajpat Rai, was born to an Urdu teacher, Lala Radha Kishan and Gulab Devi , in a tiny village called Dhudika, in the Ferozepur district of Punjab, on the 28th of January, 1865. Into a family that valued, freedom and self-respect, values he imbibed growing up.
Growing up amidst poverty, Lajpat Rai, nevertheless managed to complete his education, studying law at Govt. College, Lahore. The stint at Lahore’s Govt College, was what shaped his value system too.

In light of polling data shared by Manafort to Kilimnik, this is VERY INTERESTING.

@berniesanders campaign took voter data- was it shared via Mulvey, Devine and Kilimnik?

Who told them to do this?

@BernieSanders I have many questions @SenSanders

1. Which 4 staffers did this?
2. They were available together for a 40 min interval?
3. Time of day?
4. Their connection to Mulvey & Devine?
5. Did they sexually harrass fellow staffers?

2/
@BernieSanders @SenSanders 6. Sanders said inappropriate but still filed suit?
7. Where is this suit? Anyone?
8. How Kremliny- to be so offended they can no longer access information, Jeff Weaver says its LIFEBLOOD - gee inWHAT WAY? You have copies, no?
9. clean campaign?
10. Lose $600k/day? How

1. THREAD: Who is the REAL #BernieSanders?

Since Sanders diehards are determined to hijack the @DNC and torpedo other 2020 contenders, and since he refuses to become a Democrat but wants to hog their spotlight and attack them, let's take a closer look at who this man is. (1/10)
2. The REAL Bernie Sanders:

First elected with NRA help, then repeatedly voted WITH the gun lobby. Opposed the Brady Bill five times.

Co-sponsored and aggressively pushed a bill to dump Vermont's radioactive waste on the low-income Latino community of #SierraBlanca, Texas.
3. The REAL Bernie Sanders, continued:

Has echoed the worst Republican talking points on immigration: thinkprogress.org/why-immigratio…

Has refused to release full tax returns.

Supported the $1.5 trillion F-35 boondoggle.

Voted FOR the 1994 crime bill that Hillary was slammed for.
