    Man, if all the non-southern Black folks cosplaying caring about southern Black folks in order to argue that Bernie Sanders doesn’t care about southern Black folks actually cared about southern Black folks any other time, there’s no telling where we’d be.

    First and foremost, Karen, the issue is weaponizing Black women's anger and trying to use it as an excuse to silence and discriminate against us. More of us should be angry. Secondly, I will never need your opinion on when and where it's appropriate for Black women to show anger.

    Those friends who care about unity and about stopping the madness of Trump and his Administration, I am urging you to stop ignoring the fact that can actually beat Trump.

    We are endorsing for President because Idaho needs Climate Justice and the Green New Deal. Bernie isn’t just a candidate running for office- his campaign embodies a movement running for office. On March 10th, we will vote. And we will vote for Bernie!

    The time to fight back is now. I'm endorsing because the only way we win is if we all fight for someone we don't know - for racial justice, marginalized folks, education, healthcare, for a society for us all and not the few A better world IS possible.

    I am inspired by the possibility of having a President that fully understands that our country has a poverty crisis. Michigan needs a Sanders Administration that will fight for because we can't afford to wait any longer.

    We remember and honor the civil rights activists in Selma who marched for voting rights 55 years ago. It’s disgraceful that voter suppression continues today, but we won’t give up until the right to vote is protected for all.

    There has been no time in the history of this country when women, especially Black women, have had the reproductive freedom and justice that they deserve. In my administration, that will finally change. Read our plan here:

    Headlined as if it’s a scandal, this makes me like ⁦⁦⁩ even more. At peak of Cold War, he wanted to build people2people ties, cut military spending, stop nuclear madness, & end US support for Latin American brutal military regimes.

    Found this quote by Bernie on the 2008 bailout of Wall Streets biggest banks and i'd say it's consistent with who the candidate is.

    In 1968, Democrats rejected the popular peace-and-justice movement campaign of Eugene McCarthy for the safer and more predictable establishment-friendly candidacy of Hubert Humphrey. Then they lost to Richard Nixon.

    Harry Belafonte eloquently echoes our rage at an unjust society in a Town Hall Meeting on Poverty, 2005. Damn right we're angry. There is still no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from injustice. With these hands, we save ourselves.

    While I listened intently to what and both said, Nina was far more correct than Hilary was on what MLK said in that book. First, in the 6,918-word essay MLK only uses the word silence once. This is what he wrote: "We will have to repent in this generation 2/5

    "not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." That's it. was wrong to say MLK was speaking of the "silence of white moderates." That's just not true. He was very specific about white moderates 3/5

    On seven different occasions in the essay, MLK spoke clearly and directly about the "white moderate." This is what was talking about, and what got wrong. MLK wrote the essay on April 16, 1963. Yet four years later in "Chaos or Community," he was saying 4/5
