All reports are Bernie Sanders is about to announce his run for President. Before that happens, take a moment and ask yourself if you’ve ever reduced his supporters to “Bernie bros.” /1 The “Bernie Bro” narrative that started in October 2015 was deeply effective. The spread of social media gave it more traction than 2008’s “Obama Boys” and it persists to this day, even earning its own Wikipedia page. /2 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Bro

As Bernie Sanders gears up for a 2nd presidential run (yay #Bernie2020) Twitter is awash with folks who create a mess, point to mess, & say see, we can’t have messes.

We mean the troll army of horrible David Brock’s Shareblue Media.

Here’s a 19 thread tweet for #SOTU19 /1 Who’s David Brock?

Brock’s a self-described “witting cog in the Republican sleaze machine.”

He coined ‘Anita Hill is a little bit slutty, a little bit nutty.’

He wrote The Real Anita Hill, which he freely admits was not so much a book but a character assassination of lies. /2

Happy Monday! Let’s kick it off w/a Bernie Sanders accomplished a bunch list!

We see folks parroting old smears spread by that nasty Super Pac, saying the Bern achieved nada bc he’s an uncompromising ideologue who doesn’t know how to get things done./1

occasionalplanet.org/2016/03/04/a-l… Bernie’s in the midst of a distinguished career as a social justice activist & elected official. He’s been a mayor, member of Congress, and a senator.

Bernie’s life has been honed by decades of hard work as a public servant on behalf of poor & middle class Americans. /2

Interesting article from Jacobin that presents in-depth analysis of Kamala Harris’s record on issues such as criminal justice reform, drug legalization, & foreclosure fraud.

Article concludes Kamala Harris has often been either inactive or on the wrong side of them. /1 Some of the article highlights of plus and minuses for Senator Kamala Harris:

Positive: Pursuit of corporate polluters, implementation of policies to prevent recidivism, opposition to death penalty, support of progressive legislation in Senate, opposes Trump administration. /2
