Instead of spending $80 billion a year on jails and incarceration, we need to be investing in more jobs and education. One thing is abundantly clear: Every police department violating people's civil rights must be stripped of federal funding. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This is an unbelievable, unprecedented moment in American history. Let us demand that Congress act, and act now. https://t.co/Qsgrt6KZir — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This is a rather extraordinary statement by James Mattis, retired U.S. Marine Corps General, and Trump's former Secretary of Defense. It is well worth reading. https://t.co/V2Ucb46IUl — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @amandaforpa, @NikilSaval, @rick4westphilly, and @SummerForPA for winning primaries in Pennsylvania last night! If we are going to build a lasting movement we must elect progressives everywhere, at every level of government. https://t.co/5KWmZVhBIS — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I don't often agree with Defense Secretary Esper, but he is right. Trump must end his ugly and racist declaration of war on Americans who are exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully protest. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This is an unprecedented moment for our country. To keep the focus on the urgent need for justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and too many others victims of police violence, we are postponing our virtual “A People’s Graduation” tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Those in power who want us to focus on looting and property damage instead of the thousands peacefully protesting are trying to distract us from the terrible violence that engulfs the lives of working people every day. As Coretta Scott King reminded us, violence takes many forms. https://t.co/Gz66Q2VWXs — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Trump just had peaceful demonstrators viciously attacked. No, Mr. President. This is not a dictatorship. This is the United States of America. Our citizens have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. It's called the First Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This Pride Month we say: LGBTQ+ rights are civil rights. There is no place in this country for discrimination, police brutality, or hatred towards LBGTQ+ Americans. We will never stop fighting for equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Liar in Chief: According to a new report, Trump has made 19,127 false or misleading claims since taking office. A new poll finds only 35% of Americans believe he is honest. In a democracy we can have different views, but not a president who is a pathological liar. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Mitch McConnell says we should end the $600 unemployment bonus because workers now earn more by not working. I've got a better approach. Let's end starvation wages in America and raise the minimum wage to a living wage. All workers are entitled to a decent standard of living. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We need real police department reform. Every police officer involved in a killing must be held accountable, and those found guilty must be punished with the full force of the law. Every killing of a person held in police custody must be investigated by the Department of Justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

George Floyd’s murder is not only an outrage. It is the latest manifestation of a system that callously devalues the lives of Black people. Our struggle is and always has been about justice—not justice on paper, but real justice in the real lives of real people. https://t.co/03LHnirfHq — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

What we need is a nation that fundamentally respects the human dignity of every person. That starts with justice for George Floyd. https://t.co/XvC3rd4tpS — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We’re postponing tonight’s livestream in order to keep the attention on the killing of George Floyd and the need for this country to end police violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Donald Trump's attempt to exploit this tragedy for his own political gain is inexcusable. His penchant for authoritarianism and violence is more and more apparent. Mr. President, don't encourage police officers to do more shooting. That is exactly the problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Every officer involved in George Floyd's murder must be arrested and held criminally accountable. Going forward, the DOJ must independently investigate every time a person dies in police custody. That includes officers who passively stand by and allow these killings to happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Having met with so many families brutalized by police violence, it's clear we cannot wait any longer to act forcefully and boldly to root out the cancer of systemic racism and police violence against people of color. This must end. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This is what unfettered capitalism is all about. In the past 30 years the top 1% increased its wealth by $21 trillion while the bottom 50% lost $900 billion — and the pandemic has only made the inequality worse. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

At at time when millions of people are losing their jobs, the billionaire class should not be cashing in on a pandemic. That is what a rigged economy looks like. https://t.co/SXRy5b4Zq1 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I find it particularly obscene that the people who make decisions that workers don’t require protective equipment and sick time are sitting in mansions and don't have to go into work. https://t.co/hfa186gOP6 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

One in four workers filed for unemployment since the start of the pandemic, while in that time America's billionaires saw their wealth increase by nearly $500 billion. It's a disgrace and I'm little bit tired of people telling us there's nothing we can do about it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In the midst of a pandemic which has now claimed 100,000 Americans’ lives, we're seeing the reality of Trump’s so-called “strong economy.” We cannot lose sight of our goal of an economic system that works for all people, not just the billionaire class. https://t.co/paMMBaMXor — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

100,000 are dead from coronavirus, 40 million apply for unemployment benefits, 20% of children are hungry, millions face eviction and lack health care. Meanwhile, Trump and Republican leadership don't see the "urgency" for new legislation to protect the working class. Outrageous! — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Real criminal justice reforms means not only that the DOJ investigates the tragic police killing in Minneapolis, but EVERY death that takes place in police custody. — PolitiTweet.org
