While we await results, here’s what we know for sure: Bernie dominated with Latinos & other immigrant populations in Iowa. Again & again, we see that he has the unique ability to put together the diverse, working class coalition necessary to beat Trump. #PresidentBernieSanders
"Iowa’s first caucus-goers filtered into a union hall in Ottumwa. Fourteen of them were there to caucus for Bernie Sanders, almost all immigrants, primarily from Ethiopia but also from Honduras and Macedonia."

.@ninaturner is right: Michael Bloomberg is an oligarch. He's indisputably buying his way into this election.

To the pundits caping for him: not a good look. Here's a definition for those struggling:

#whichsideareyouon?
@ninaturner Oooh boy. Doubling down is a CHOICE.

Michael Bloomberg is worth 60 BILLION dollars.

He can literally fund the race out of his pocket -- and has done.

Imagine defending this as anything other than oligarchy.

#BloombergIsAnOligarch
@ninaturner For the numerically challenged: A billion is a lot. Like, a lot a lot. #Bloomberg

I'm suspicious of arguments that it's a fool's errand to fight for universal programs bc racists don't want POCs to benefit.

Good thing is: if your coalition isn't dependent on racists, it doesn't matter.
More common than bigots voting against their interests is evidence that universal programs are broadly popular & have more staying power than others.

Approval for the ACA is growing. And look at KY's new Dem Gov. who ran and won on expanding Medicaid. theweek.com/articles/69424…
@BreeNewsome is right: The trick here is expanding your base to groups that typically don't vote. That includes many POCs who are locked out of the process due to disenfranchisement, as well as poor & working class folks of all races who stand to benefit the most from M4All etc.

Alright kids, strap in, we’re gonna talk about the Navy.

Who needs one (somebody),

who can afford one (possibly nobody),

how much that matters, (a whole effin’ lot)

and why (long story, there).
Gonna start this off by ripping off the talk Peter Zeihan has been giving for the last decade: “The world as we know it was founded in New Hampshire in 1944.”

Zeihan doesn’t get everything right but this one he’s on the nose about.
Everyone who remembers Bretton Woods as being where they hashed out currency pegs and the gold standard is technically right but really misses the point.

It was primarily the US designing the world order that allowed its allies to voluntarily dismantle their colonial Empires.

Long, thoughtful, fascinating exploration of #Bernie's history. This narrative makes Bernie immensely more accessible and even likeable. His long financial origin story is quintessentially American in its working-class to riches trajectory.

I've written about #Sanders over the years and like most leftists, thought his politics were an essential prod to others in Congress. But there are details of his political history here that #Bernie should be pushing instead of hiding: like that he was a Harvard fellow.

#Sanders is often presented as s spendthrift, but what propelled #Bernie from 3-term mayor of tiny Burlington into the House was his fiscal responsibility. He literally was deemed the Republican Trotskyite while mayor for reeling in spending and building the city's coffers.

Published AUG 2016 after #Bernie flipped and slammed Hillary … @ericgarland THREAD what we (#ProDemocracy) had been watching. America doesn’t just have a problem with #Fascist#Trumpies on Right THEY have problem at other side of political Horseshoe too tinyurl.com/y9yznpqt
2019 Update.. SO America believed about the #Trump #Fascist #RightWingers .. enough to elect a DEM house (finally after 8 yrs) and they have gone to work for #WeThePeople as @RepCummings showed the country yesterday. At their THIRD Hearing. First was Report CHILD MURDER by TRUMP
NOW it’s up to us to expose the #AltLEFT or as we #ProDemocracy centrists call it. Just the other face of the PUTIN puppet show. Remember how #Bernie has ‘always’ been nonaligned? Then said he was DEM in 2018. Don’t believe it. He is PUTINS #FallbackGuy ASK @20committee for def

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
