The willingness of Amazon workers in Bessemer to take on the wealthiest man in the world and a powerful company in an anti-union state is an inspiration. It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand up and fight back, and they should be applauded. — PolitiTweet.org

The majority of billionaires have gotten richer since the start of the pandemic. Let me repeat that: 86% of billionaires are now $5.1 TRILLION richer, while some 76 million Americans have lost their jobs. Yes, the time is now to address this obscene level of greed and inequality. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

It is no great secret that wages have been stagnant in America for many decades. The rich are getting richer, while many workers are working longer hours for lower wages. We've got to grow the union movement. https://t.co/hKVmqMl3vi — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. ranks 39th in the world in life expectancy. Yes. Rebuilding our infrastructure is not just roads and bridges. The new reconciliation bill must include protecting the planet, health care, education, housing and providing for the needs of a long-neglected working class. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The Republican Party is now trying to appeal to the working class with racist politics, with homophobic politics, and with xenophobic politics. They want to pretend that they are somehow the "party of the working class." Let's be totally clear: it is total nonsense. https://t.co/eIq9s8hhic — PolitiTweet.org

All over this country, what Republicans are doing is trying to protect their own interests by making it harder for people who may vote against them to participate in our democracy. ABSURD! Our job now is to protect and expand voting rights in every state. https://t.co/HUUBoDKk2M — PolitiTweet.org

What is infrastructure in this country: ✅ roads ✅ bridges ✅ our energy grid ✅ broadband ✅ childcare ✅ dental, vision, & hearing care for the elderly Now is the time to begin addressing our physical infrastructure as well as our human infrastructure. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

When a working class family can't find quality, affordable childcare, that's human infrastructure. When a senior can't afford dental care, hearing aids, or eyeglasses, that's human infrastructure. Our nation must address the human infrastructure that we have ignored for too long. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In so many ways, we are behind many other countries throughout the world in providing for working class families, the elderly, and the children. I think right now is the time to begin to address not only our physical infrastructure, but our human infrastructure as well. https://t.co/rAvLkWosy0 — PolitiTweet.org

The time is long overdue to finally make the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes in this country. https://t.co/1mjxPDRqOn — PolitiTweet.org

Today, some 53 years on from the day of his assassination, let us not forget for a moment where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was when he was killed. He was standing with exploited workers in Memphis, Tennessee. That was then, and here we are now. The struggle continues. — PolitiTweet.org

Cost to consumers: Nike Air Max 270s: $150 Dish Network basic package: $64.99 FedEx "large" box delivery: $20.00 Zoom Pro monthly membership: $14.99 Federal income taxes paid in 2020: Nike: $0 Dish Network: $0 FedEx: $0 Zoom: $0 Yes. We must end our rigged tax code. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We can no longer tolerate a rigged system that allows FedEx to pay nothing in federal income taxes for 3 straight years after making billions in profits while forcing the Postal Service to pre-fund retiree benefits 75 years into the future for workers who haven't even been born. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

If you paid $120 for a pair of Nike Air Force 1 shoes, you paid more to Nike than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years, while it made $4.1 billion in profits and Nike's founder, Phil Knight, became over $23 billion richer. Yes. We must #TaxTheRich. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I want you to think about an America in which we have an explosion of union membership. That's our job — together, we must grow the trade union movement all over this country. The only way we deliver real power to working people is by rebuilding the trade union movement. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Right now, there are 253 bills in state legislatures that restrict voting rights in 43 states. Losing an election should not mean changing the rules to win the next one. Why are cowardly Republicans so afraid of democracy? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We can build an economy that works for all and not just the few — but it will take all of us. Power rests with people who are organized and are willing to stand up and fight for their rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Good. Marijuana should be legal nationwide. All marijuana convictions must be expunged. It is absurd and idiotic that the federal government considers marijuana to be as dangerous as heroin. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon workers in Alabama are sick and tired of being treated like robots. They are standing up and fighting back, and I am proud to support them. https://t.co/lOuBL8oJK2 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to endorse Mayor @ChokweALumumba for reelection because he is a consistent fighter for the working families of Jackson, Mississippi. As Mayor, he has been a strong advocate for justice, progress, and equity. https://t.co/y3kiO1ZP09 — PolitiTweet.org

Over the course of the pandemic, tens of millions of Americans are out of work. 10 million are behind on rent. 22 million say they don't have enough to eat. But in America today, a handful of billionaires are now $1.3 trillion richer. This is what a rigged economy looks like. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

My question for Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is simple: When you have so much money, more money than can be spent in a million lifetimes, why are you trying so hard to defeat workers who are demanding decent pay and decent working conditions? https://t.co/SON0CVTgGP — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Jeff Bezos, worth $180 billion, is getting nervous. He's afraid that if Amazon workers in Alabama vote to unionize, it'll give workers all over America the courage to take on his greed & win economic justice. He's spending millions against this union to keep billions for himself. — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke for a few minutes yesterday with Amazon workers in Alabama. They told me about the heat, the absurd breaks, and the fact that if you are one minute late you lose a whole hour of pay. That is why they are standing with courage and taking on the richest man in the world. https://t.co/4i4MJiy111 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

What Amazon workers in Alabama are doing takes real courage. They are standing up, not only for themselves and their families, but also for exploited workers all across the country who are sick and tired of corporate greed. I am very proud to stand with them. — PolitiTweet.org
