For decades, the billionaire class and corporations have harnessed their power to enact a radical redistribution of wealth from the bottom 99% to the top 1%. I think now is the time for radical action on behalf of the working class of this country. — PolitiTweet.org

We need members of the Supreme Court who have a strong track record of standing up for justice – economic justice, racial justice, social justice, political justice, and environmental justice. There is no doubt Judge Jackson is that person. I was proud to vote to confirm her. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the Starbucks workers in Buffalo, Rochester & Brighton, New York for successfully voting to form unions in 3 more coffee shops. Starbucks workers have now won 13 of 14 union elections. I am so proud of what they are accomplishing. Keep up the great work! — PolitiTweet.org

Here is the bad news. You ready? We have more income and wealth inequality today than at any time in American history. That's the bad news. But here is the good news. Working people all across this country are getting organized and beginning to fight back. https://t.co/FGBxO1y3JL — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden is right. "Amazon, here we come." Let's get every Amazon worker in a union. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Let me congratulate the @MITGradUnion on voting to form a union. All across the country, graduate student teachers are being ruthlessly exploited by very wealthy universities. I hope today's victory inspires a nationwide movement of workers on campuses fighting for better pay. — PolitiTweet.org

It is time to legalize marijuana nationwide and expunge past convictions. https://t.co/Ry0ncEbWBF — PolitiTweet.org

Cancel student debt. All of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon workers in Staten Island made history in organizing the first union in the company's history. Instead of continuing to pour millions of dollars into union-busting efforts, Amazon must recognize the union and negotiate with workers in good faith. https://t.co/GM9iJ90p5e — PolitiTweet.org

CEOs at large corporations are paid 350x more than what their average worker makes. Is that the kind of economic reality we should accept? I don't think so. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We must not forget that on the day he was assassinated Dr. King was in Memphis to march with sanitation workers who were being exploited, underpaid, and faced horrendous working conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The movement of unionization efforts sparked by @SBWorkersUnited in Starbucks stores across the country has been a great inspiration to me. I am honored to be joining them for a rally in just a few weeks in Richmond, Virginia. I hope you'll join us. https://t.co/8JrXxr8iYz https://t.co/iRkmiotw9U — PolitiTweet.org

There is nothing radical about saying that the wealthiest people in this country ought to pay their fair share of taxes. What's radical is Jeff Bezos making $142,667 every 60 seconds while more than half our people live paycheck to paycheck. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Congratulations to New Mexico for becoming the first state in the nation to make all of its public colleges and universities tuition free regardless of income or immigration status. Now, it's time to make all public colleges and universities tuition free in America. — PolitiTweet.org

It should not be a luxury in this country to keep teeth in your mouth. https://t.co/CVgYCHrGmT — PolitiTweet.org

Another HUGE victory! Workers at Starbucks have ignited a nationwide movement united in the struggle for dignity and respect on the job – and they’re winning. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

As of today, the workers at Warrior Met have been on strike for one year while BlackRock, its largest shareholder with $10 trillion in assets, has sat on its hands and allowed the workers and their families to struggle. They can and they must intervene to meet workers' demands. https://t.co/jApAjjNJoU — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

For the very first time, workers at @amazonlabor were successful in organizing a union at an Amazon facility. I congratulate them on their extraordinary victory. I believe it's going to be a shot in the arm for this country's labor movement. https://t.co/9hr5Skaluq — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Congratulations to @amazonlabor in Staten Island for their historic organizing victory. They took on one of the most powerful corporations in America, and showed that workers are sick and tired of being exploited while corporate profits soar. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Are you ready for a radical idea? Instead of handing out a $10 billion bailout to Jeff Bezos worth $191 billion to fly to the moon, let's make it easier for workers to form a union. I stand in strong solidarity with Amazon workers in Staten Island & Bessemer voting to unionize. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

While 64% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

To my mind, if you're worth $180 BILLION, if you've got mansions and a superyacht, if your hobby is trying to go to the moon or Mars or wherever, you're doing pretty well for yourself — no, Mr. Bezos, you don't need $10 billion in corporate welfare to subsidize your space travel. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

MIT has an endowment of $27 BILLION — that's billion, with a 'B'. They should not be exploiting teachers who are interacting with thousands of their students and help make MIT the great university that it is. I stand in solidarity with @MITGradUnion working to form a union. https://t.co/UCpi2HFLFV — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In America today we spend far more, per capita, on health care than any other nation — almost $11,000 per person, while at the same time, some 60,000 Americans die each year because they lack insurance and are unable to get to a doctor on time. Yes, we need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I wanted to take a moment to tell you why now is the time to move toward Medicare for All. This will, no doubt, be a difficult struggle. But it is a struggle we will win. https://t.co/32K1VnhAIl — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

At a time when corporations are making obscene profits by charging outrageously high prices for gas, food, and rent, we need a windfall profits tax. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Corporate greed is Netflix doubling its profit last year to a record $5.3 billion, avoiding over $1 billion in taxes & blaming a 10.7% price increase on "inflation" squeezing $1.35 billion from its 75 million subscribers while its CEO became $200 million richer in the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Health care is a human right, not a privilege.  We must join every other major country in guaranteeing health care for every man, woman and child. We must pass Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Profit Increase Last Year from Pre-Pandemic Levels: ConocoPhillips:⬆️1,400% to $12.7 billion Chevron:⬆️184% to $21.6 billion Exxon Mobil:⬆️57% to $31.2 billion Gas Price Increase from 2019:⬆️63% to $4.24 Please don't tell me that a windfall profits tax is radical. — PolitiTweet.org
