Bernie Sanders (and AOC), who are running for nothing, just had the largest event Sanders ever had, including both his presidential campaigns.
Change is coming.

Turned on billionaire-owned MSNBC and — surprise! — all of the pundits on that segment were in agreement that Bernie and AOC shouldn’t be using the word oligarch at their rallies, because “99% of Americans” don’t know what it means. Isn’t that fucking convenient? Turned that shit right the fuck off again and went back to planting tomato seeds. #MSNBC #Billionaires #Bernie #AOC #Oligarchs #Gardening #USpol #Media #Pundits #CableNews #TalkingHeads

in calmness @smallcircles@social.coopYes, this is the way. Step out of the dark shade of your dysfunctional corrupt Dems political party and directly address the People to clearly tell the situation as it is.

The Guardian · Sanders and AOC tell packed arena Trump is ‘screwing over’ working class
“While I am not a mathematician, I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1% … if we do not let Trump and his friends divide us up by the color of our skin, or where we were born, or our religion, or our sexual orientation—if we stand together as one people fighting for justice, there is nothing that we cannot do.”
~ Bernie Sanders (3/20/25)
AOC is out here in Tempe normalizing democratic socialism, hell yeah.
#Arizona #FightOligarchy #Bernie #AOC
Tempe AZ right now with Bernie and AOC at stadium!
We never made it to parking! There must be 20,000 people there! Doors opened 2 hours ago and we think maybe 10,000 still outside in the longest lines I’ve ever seen! This better make the news! Bernie and AOC must be on fire!
@lorry Bernie ran an absolutely viable campaign in 2016. Here's a really interesting set of numbers showing contributions to candidates on the ballot:

And #bernie totals:
https://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/candidate?id=N00000528
Bernie: 60% contributions under $200
Hillary: 19% contributions under $200
I think there's a world where it could happen. (Not for Bernie, but for younger, like-minded politicians.)
@MindTGap We’re all just trying to get rich enough so it doesn’t affect us. Personally, I’d move (to an undisclosed location) if I didn’t have a kid in school.
The 2016 primary was the last time I was naive enough to think there was hope.
But now, I see that I was duped. I mean, look at #bernie. An empty shell of his former self. An establishment #sheepdog.
I see it everywhere. Did you ever see this video about #AOC?

Mission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21]
[but don't hold me to it]
After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.
First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate
As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.
Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.
I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.
I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise. [*=my [Amstedam] time]
I might be interested in: #StopCopCity #ClimateFinance #Capitalism #Energy #USpolitics #Ukraine #Europe #Bernie #XR #OceanCleanup #NextBlue #InductionCooking #TaxTheRich #Africa #FemaleSoccer #Ajax #WomensRights #Indigenous #BigOil #Greta #CityDesign #VanessaNakate #2030 #Wildfires / #Floods #IPCC #AOC and more.
But after a year or two there appear to be 4 general topics: #Climate #Gaza / #IsraeliGenocide #USpolitics and #Ukraine
I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.
If any of my 'followers' wants to opt out... this is your chance, as always.
Bernie Sanders has me yelling "fuck yeah" and clapping over my Saturday morning coffee.
Around 11:30, he calls for getting rid of Citizens United. FUCK. YEAH.
I am, at this point, a one-issue voter. I would vote for pretty much anyone who had a real plan to implement campaign finance reform.
Our government is infected by money. Public funding of elections is the ONLY WAY we can get out of this mess.
Also a BIG FAN of the podium design on this stage <3
Thank goodness for #Bernie
Bernie Sanders starting tour to end oligarchy
https://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-elon-musk-tour-oligarchy-2030615
Add your name. I added mine
Newsweek · Bernie Sanders launches tour "to fight oligarchy": Here's where he's goingSanders said in a video message that his tour is against billionaires like Elon Musk, who are using power to gain more money.
The winner of the #DNC chair race will help shape the message and priorities of the Democratic party,
giving them a crucial role in the party’s efforts to win back the House of Representatives in 2026.
The race has attracted a large field of candidates
Two state party chairs
– #Ken #Martin of Minnesota
and #Ben #Wikler of Wisconsin
– have emerged as "frontrunners"
The chair candidates have grown punchier as the race draws to a close,
-- and the late entry of #Faiz #Shakir,
who ran #Bernie #Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign,
has injected new energy into the race.
All of the candidates seem to agree that the Democratic party needs to move in a new direction after their 2024 losses, expanding its outreach to the working-class Americans who have lurched to the right in recent years and finding more effective means of communicating their values to voters.
But the candidates have squabbled over the best strategies and prioritization of those goals,
in a display that Shakir said showed a
“lack of ambition and a sense of powerlessness about what the DNC could potentially do”.
