As I said on @CBSNews earlier this evening, it's not right to prematurely discount the working class Americans -- the meat packers and teachers and farmers and students -- who this campaign mobilized into first-time caucusers in satellite caucuses.

There votes should count.

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.

#TrumpFearsBernie because he knows that #BernieBeatsTrump

Let's look at why...

(thread)

1. Trump beat HRC in 2016 despite the fact that she outraised him, had more endorsements, and had the corporate media promoting her.

Why? He pretended to be progressive.

That's now over.
2. Crowd size.

Bernie has bigger crowds than Trump who previously had bigger crowds than Hillary Clinton.

Republicans fear Bernie's ability to mobilize people to show up.

Voter enthusiasm wins elections and Bernie has significantly more than Trump.
3. Money.

Bernie has more donors than Trump.

Bernie will be able to raise more campaign contributions than Trump without taking a single dime from a single billionaire or corporation.

This means that Bernie has the people power that translates into votes.

64% of teachers use "Teachers Pay Teachers" website.

What will I find if I search there, using "Native American" as the search term?
I entered the phrase and got this far:

"Native American"

The autofill gave me "Native Americans" (obvious) but the second one is "Native Americans totem pole."

Does that mean that queries about totem poles are popular on this site?
For now, I'll do the "Native Americans" search and see what teachers are sharing on that site. Having been on the site before, I'm not optimistic.

This was one of the best & most nuanced conversations I've ever had about #class & #poverty in America (& that intro!😭 Wow, thank you, @thebradking).

1 of the only podcasts I coulda talked abt the significance of po' white #RuthLangmore from @ozark wearing a #Tupac shirt.🔥🔥🔥
Wow - I forgot about all the cool stuff we discussed: state-level poverty programs, switching to a service-based economy in rural areas, the Case-Deaton white death paper, the liberal elite write-off of working class whites, white economic privilege, & class anger/resentment.
...specific ways for historians to get *real* history to average Americans, how to combat racism through class & labor issues, the pain & anguish of the "psychic death" of rural whites, & adapting a federal jobs program to the state level...
