Some Tweets from Bernie Sanders


  • One year ago the Trump administration began its policy of separating families at the border—a moral stain on this nation. Some of those families still remain separated. When we are in the White House we will have a HUMANE border policy for those seeking asylum.
  • Sandra Bland should be alive today. The job of this police officer should have been to protect and serve — not harass and threaten. We have a broken criminal justice system that we will address when we are in the White House.
  • This is a dark day in the state of Georgia. This is why the fight for abortion rights is not just about protecting Roe v. Wade. It is about ending the non-stop, extremist attacks on women's rights at the state and local level.
  • On the new , we hear from the people who knew Bernie way back when and learn about Bernie’s early days in politics. Tune in! Spotify: iTunes: Google Play: Soundcloud:
  • Medicare for All would save average families thousands of dollars by eliminating premiums and deductibles to private insurers. It is not only the moral thing to do; it is the economical thing to do.
  • This proposal is extreme, unconstitutional, and part of a coordinated attack on women’s rights. We are going to fight this brazenly unconstitutional bill with everything we’ve got.
  • We need a climate debate. There are quite simply few issues more important than the survival of our planet and people.
  • Fracking is a danger to our water supply. It’s a danger to the air we breathe. It causes earthquakes. It’s highly explosive. And it’s contributing to climate change. We need to ban it nationwide.
  • The frantic attempts by the drug industry and insurance industry to derail Medicare for All are a sign that we are winning — that means we cannot rest, we cannot back down and we cannot accept any substitute.
  • The “Partnership for America’s Health Care Future" is running large ad campaigns against Medicare for All. So who do they represent? The insurance companies and drug companies. If we are going to win the fight for Medicare for All, I need your help.
  • This campaign is asking for your help to win the primary and defeat Trump, but it is also asking for something more. I will need your help the day after the inauguration to take on the powerful interests in Washington. I will need you in the fight for justice in America.
  • The future of the planet is at stake. We don't have any more time to waste on politicians who call climate change a hoax or refuse to act boldly. Our job is to rapidly transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and create millions of good jobs saving the planet.
  • Thousands of family farmers are forced off their land every year as large agri-business corporations take over. As president, I will impose an immediate moratorium on agri-business mergers, and I will nominate an Attorney General who will aggressively breakup these monopolies.
  • I grew up in a family that struggled financially, but I was able to attend an excellent public college which at that time was virtually tuition-free. We are going to once again make higher education a right for all, not a privilege for the few.
  • We are creating a democracy that is truly by and for the people. Join our rally in Sioux City, Iowa, and join our campaign at
  • This growing monopolization of agribusiness is unfair to food producers. It is unfair to consumers. It is unfair to the environment. And it has to change.
  • Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim sisters, brothers and friends. May it be a month of much peace and joy.
  • The number of farms taking advantage of renewable energy has more than doubled since 2007. That is good, but for the future of the planet we must do better. We can create millions of jobs by moving to 100% sustainable energy.
  • We are in Spencer, Iowa, to hear directly from the people! Tune in to our town hall.
  • It is a disgrace that 400,000 people are in jail for the crime of being poor. I applaud Larry Krasner and city councilors for working to eliminate the cash bail system in Philadelphia. When we are in the White House, we will end cash bail nationally.
