    My friend Larry Cohen wrote this opposing view in USA Today. “The voters I spoke to at these events are fighting for change. They want an economy that puts workers first...” I’m sure many agree with his experience. Add your voice to the poll question.

    Sad news today. True story. I asked to borrow his favorite book so we’d have to talk again. My ploy worked, and it was an incredible book.
    Awful news. Bill was one of my heroes. A story I told him: I was on a 1st date with a woman who asked me for a book rec. I said my fave was “Who Will Tell the People.” She borrowed it. I used the excuse of asking for it back to call her again. Shes my wife

    mass media serves corporate agendas. they're now (begrudgingly) touting the ascendancy of our candidate and we shouldn't trust it. not out of irrational paranoia but based on logic: they want us to rest, gloat, taunt, high five and back pat. we have to keep organizing.

    Bill Greider was a great great man. He lived a fantastic and admirable life. His light will shine as an example for many many years to come. Farther than you can imagine. A beacon in a dark age.
    So sad to see the news of the death of William Greider - a great reporter and author. Interesting to see this picture of him with Clinton, whom Greider would infuriate by asking tough, insightful questions about the economy and WJC's neoliberal approach.

    It's good that news outlets are acknowledging ' surge in the polls. However, the corporate elite will do all they can to try to beat us. We cant be complacent & we cant be demoralized when they inevitably attack us. If we keep fighting, we will win. Onward.

    This is so great. Bloomberg doesn't need to do high-dollar fundraisers but he lacks understanding of how to talk to actual voters, so he's doing high-dollar fundraisers anyway, without the funding.

    These photos are 20 years apart. I appear to have aged about 50 years, Bernie appears to have aged maybe 5 years. This raises an obvious question: is Bernie is The Highlander?

    I trust .
    “The loyalty Mr. Sanders commands has turned him into a formidable contender in the 2020 race...His anti-establishment message hasn’t changed for 50 years, and it resonates with working-class voters and young people who agree the system is corrupt.”
