    Billionaires and large corporations oppose us because they know they can't buy us. We don't want their money. Our campaign has received 2.5 million contributions from people around the country. That is what a movement to defeat Trump and transform America looks like.

    Bernie Sanders at ISNA conference just said "India's action [in Kashmir] is unacceptable," criticizing its crackdown in Kashmir, revoking its semi autonomous status and the humanitarian crisis that has ensued. Glad a Democratic candidate is discussing this openly.

    We must speak out when we have a president and an administration who believe that “Islam hates us.” We must speak out at hate crimes and violence targeted at the Muslim community - and call it what it is - domestic terrorism.

    Working people are angry and they have a right to be angry. Their government and economy are rigged against them so the phenomenally wealthy can get even wealthier. I think it's about time we had a government that works for the working class.
    The bottom half of all U.S. households have 32% less wealth than in 2003. The top 1% have more than twice as much as they did then.

    I'm a boxing fan, but that's not the only reason why Muhammad Ali is a hero of mine. It was also the incredible courage he showed outside the ring.

    Secretary DeVos, your job is to defend our students, not sell them out to predatory for-profit colleges. My Secretary of Education will stand with students and families to cancel all student debt and make all public colleges tuition-free.
    Education Secretary Betsy DeVos finalized rules that make it more difficult for federal student loan borrowers to cancel their debt on the grounds that their college defrauded them

    It is nothing less than barbaric that the leading cause of bankruptcy in America is medical debt. These people didn't spend all their money on luxury items. Their crime was that they got sick. We are going to cancel all $81 billion in existing past-due medical debt.

    Not in America. When we are in the White House we will ban the use of facial recognition technology for policing.
    Amazon-owned Ring says its cameras don’t use facial recognition but it's openly working on the tech abroad

    With ⁦⁩ campaigning in South Carolina. We’re having BBQ at Scott’s & later doing a Medicare for All town hall. Bernie has got a great sense of humor on the trail. One lady told him that her 3 kids were for him. He shot back, what about the Mom! I need her too!

    At least 500,000 Americans go bankrupt every year because of medical expenses—and the actual number is probably more like 750,000. No one in America should go bankrupt to get the care they need. It's time for Medicare for All.

    The United States is one of two countries that allows a for-profit bail industry to exist. We need to end that embarrassment and abolish cash bail nationwide.
    One arrest can send a family spiraling into debt. The bail industry that profits off the underprivileged is stopping reform across the country.

    That's true. But if we continue to allow fracking and fossil fuel exports, the planet will never recover. We don't have time for a middle ground approach. We need a Green New Deal.
    If we give Donald Trump four more years in the White House, the planet may never recover.
