Well this is awful. How long do we have to live in a reprise of the worst aspects of the 2016 campaign and why hasn't Bernie addressed this?

Black Leaders Condemn Attacks by Sanders Supporters Amid Fallout From WFP's Warren Endorsement splinternews.com/black-leaders-…
"Dozens of prominent black progressive leaders condemned the 'hateful, violent, and racist threats' they said have been leveled by 'self-identified Sanders supporters' against black leaders in the wake of Working Families Party’s endorsement of Elizabeth Warren for president."
The letter reads in part: "Maurice Mitchell, a Black man with decades of experience building movements and strengthening our democracy, alongside Nelini Stamp, a working class, woman of color and a gifted organizer are at the helm of WFP" and Sanders' people don't approve. Yikes.
This is despicable.
"WFP organizer Ember Ollom, a rape survivor who has tweeted about her assault, received a message from a Sanders supporter that said: 'We were raped by this process, so I’m happy it happened to you.'"

Extraordinary piece from @nytimes on #LGBTQforum
In the relentless MSM effort to keep Biden ascendant, zero mention of @KamalaHarris and her long record on groundbreaking support for LGBTQ people.
1/
 Joe Biden Has Tense Exchange Over L.G.B.T.Q. Record nyti.ms/30cyzdl
Nor was there any mention of @ewarren's deeply moving recitation of the names of murdered trans women--18 this year so far, two in 10 days. No mention of @amyklobuchar who got fierce applause, nor @JulianCastro, a longtime LGBTQ supporter.
2/
 #LGBTQforum
While @CoryBooker Is mentioned, it is mostly reactively to Biden. With the exception of @KamalaHarris, few Dem politicians can claim the level of commitment Booker has shown to LGBTQ community.
Oh also, @PeteButtigieg is actually gay and his candidacy is historic.

#JimmyCarter, who'll be 95 Oct 1, questions whether he could have handled the presidency at 80.
"I hope there's an age limit," Carter said, without mentioning the names of Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, both of whom will be nearly 80 on Inauguration Day.
washingtonpost.com/politics/i-hop…
Biden & Bernie would be in their mid-80s in 2024, making re-election questionable. Some Democrats have suggested a one-term presidency for both, but Carter can speak to the perils of that, also.
Conversely, Elizabeth Warren would be the age they are now at the end of two terms.
The job is the most stressful in the world.
At the midterms, I wrote about the surprising number of presidents who have had heart attacks, incapacitating strokes and have even died while in office.

Best news of the day is that Netanyahu may lose re-election in Israel.🇮🇱
As someone with family in Israel, the extremist right wing positions of Netanyahu have damaged Israel in many of the same ways Trump has here and like Trump, Netanyahu is corrupt and self-dealing.
@CNN
Knesset down 53 (!!!) seats for the extremist right, meaning if Netanyahu does squeak through, he will face a strong Blue and White phalanx in Knesset as well as more Arab seats, effectively weakening his coalition massively.
So good news for those who aren't Bibi's hard right.
It's unclear rn who will gain the 61 seat Knesset majority. But it would highly benefit the country if Gantz's Blue and White's were given the go-ahead to form a governing coalition by Rivlin. Kahol Lavan is ahead. Likud is behind. And the Joint List of Arab parties will be 3rd.

#Dear white feminists: I am not the one
@Kamalaallday
I’m sitting at home watching my friend down the street fix my doorknob. To some folks that might not seem like a big deal but I can’t A. Leave my door open all day B. I grew up scared every day bc my parents had bars on the window & had a barred door on the front you needed a
key to get out of. There were whole families with this type of set up dying in fires, but my family took the risk bc crime bc the family around the corner from us was murdered. It was a terrible time. Kids were being shot for Troop jackets. The police didn’t GAF & took hours to
get to ppl. Anyway, bc of that fear I had of us getting locked in our own home in case of a fire, I need my front door to work bc I have two kids. My husband was already gone for the day & I lost the screw when it fell down my floor vent by my door. I had to take the whole knob

14. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

THREAD: "BERNIE BROS"

I never used the term in 2016 because I thought it was too broad. But I still subscribed to the belief that virtually ALL online attacks in the Dem primary originated with Sanders supporters. THEY were the sole aggressors. But I see things more clearly now.
"BERNIE BROS"

While it's true that some #Bernie supporters engaged in vicious attacks, that behavior is not exclusive to them. Saying positive things today about Sanders or negative things about Pelosi and Dem leaders can result in furious personal insults and smears.
"BERNIE BROS"

This cycle, I see politics through an issue-focused rather than a candidate-focused lens. And I want to acknowledge that dismissing all progressives & leftists who are inspired by @BernieSanders as raging "bros" invisibilizes many young voters and people of color.
