I still need some clarity.

When @NateSilver538 gave Bernie a >99% chance of losing the '16 Michigan primary - which he won - was this prediction:

Funny. From ’81 to ’89 Bernie led a grassroots movement as mayor of Burlington to:

✅Expand affordable housing & stop gentrification
✅Open the waterfront to the public, not just the 1%
✅Expand worker-owned businesses
✅Buy local
✅Make it the most livable city in America

1/3
’87: U.S. News & World Report called @BernieSanders 1 of our best mayors

’88: U.S. Conference of Mayors named Burlington the most livable city in the U.S. for a city its size

End of mayoral term: Inc. Magazine named Burlington the best in NE for a growing business

#NotMeUs
@BernieSanders There’s a reason why Bernie was voted one of the best mayors & is the most popular Senator today.

He fights for the working class, not the 1%

The tweet below is 1 of the most absurd takes of the campaign.

The 1st grassroots campaign I worked on for @BernieSanders was back in 1999: To restore $320 million in pension benefits that IBM had stolen from 130,000 workers.

We had 1 major Senate ally: Paul Wellstone.

Thread
@BernieSanders The first thing Bernie taught me was that it was not good enough to write a good bill, amendment or speech.

If we were going to improve the lives of the working class, we had to rally the American people against corporate greed and corruption.

Some major grassroots victories⬇️
@BernieSanders In other words, Bernie’s very essence is about building or joining grassroots efforts against:

Segregation
Starvation Wages
Social Security Cuts
Pension Cuts
Outsourcing
⬆️Drug Prices
Climate Change
Endless Wars
Wall Street Greed
Postal Service Cuts
Cuts to Veterans Benefits

The @nytimes doesn’t want you to know it, but I am damn proud of the accomplishments @SenSanders and our staff have achieved in the Senate and the House - both inside and outside the beltway. Here's just 20 of our achievements in the two decades I’ve worked for him. (Thread)
3 weeks after Bernie introduced the Stop BEZOS Act, Amazon raised its wages to at least $15/hour. While our critics were busy attacking this bill, we kept our eye on the prize: building a grassroots campaign that wouldn't relent until Amazon raised wages. news.vice.com/en_us/article/…
2 years after Bernie slammed Disney for paying workers starvation wages & less than 3 months after he rallied with 2K workers in Anaheim, over 60,000 Disney workers won a $15/hour minimum wage. Bernie was the only Senator who stood with the Disney workers theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@truFFLeblog It would appear the powers at be don't want this to go together. If at first you don't succeed..

Lee Valentine is now up talking about the Space Studies Institute, which is now nearly 42yrs old. #SpaceAccess19
Lee: Talking about various research projects they've funded over the years. NEA studies, Lunar Prospector (which they helped instigate). Funded a lot of ISRU research. Magnetic benefaction of lunar regolith. Aluminum production from lunar regolith, and glass-glass composites.
Lee: Talking about glassmaking from lunar basalt regolith, and research they did on vacuum melt processing of the glass. It's possible to make a glass-glass composite, with a low-melting point glass in a high tensile strength matrix. Acts like a thermoplastic composite.
