Americans are dying because of the enormous greed of the pharmaceutical industry. We have got to end their greed.
Disney CEO Bob Iger says the writers and actors going on strike in Hollywood are not being โrealisticโ with their expectations: "It's very disturbing to me."
I've also not met many, if any, 'easy-breezy' millennials. We're all riddled with anxiety and depression from living through endless wars, and economic meltdowns every few years. Maybe that's got something to do with it????
In 1988,

Average hourly pay for a Pizza Hut employee in California: $11.18
Total annual compensation for Pizza Hut parent company CEO David Gibbs in 2022: $16,600,000
I think they can afford to pay California workers $20 an hour, not lay them off during the holidays.

I don't want my children to have to worry about whether or not they can afford to go to college, and I do not want them to have to sign decades of their lives away to a bank.
It's a moral imperative for the future of our country's potential that we

Remember: UPS left the bargaining table claiming they had 'nothing left to give.'
Seems like they've got plenty to give when it comes to the corporate executives who weren't the ones doing the work that brought billions of dollars in profit for the company.

As mayor, Bernie worked to establish The Childrenโs Place, a childcare facility for working parents.
From day one, when few were, Bernie was fighting for working class families to be able to lead a decent life. Thatโs one reason among many

The American people pay 10x what Canadians pay for insulin.
1 in 4 Americans with diabetes has said they've rationed their insulin.
Not only are Americans getting ripped off -- the greed of the pharma industry is killing people, and it's got to end.
The inventors of insulin sold the patent for $1. A vial costs $6 to make. Drugmakers sell it for $300 a vial in the United States.
That level of greed is scandalous, it is outrageous, and when we win it is going to end.
Jennifer Bates, an Amazon worker from Alabama, makes it plain in her testimony that it's workers who create wealth: "We the workers made the billions for Amazon. I often say 'we're the billionaires, we just don't get to spend any of it.'"
I need everyone to understand that when much of the corporate media and the political class talk about "the economy," they are referring to the wealth and income of a handful of billionaires and c-suite executives, and not the economic well-being of the American people.
United Auto Workers are in the verge of a strike. And Jim Cramer thinks the big car companies should shut down for two years and pay people $5/hr in Mexico instead of treating American workers with respect and compensating them fairly.
The medical bills for my daughter's birth and NICU stay totaled over $100k, and they still follow me to this day.
Time in the hospital should not mean decades of debt.

We posted this video last night in which Bernie discusses what unites the working class of this country against the billionaire class.
Since 7 pm yesterday, it's gotten 1.4 million views across our social platforms.
Give it a look.
โWhat he says heโs going to do โย heโs going to do it.โ
โWe need a fighter, not only in this race, but in the broader class war thatโs been waged against working people in America.โ
The people know. Bernieโs back.
The corporate media wants you to think our campaign is over. Let me be blunt: I am back and more ready than ever to end the corruption of corporate elites.
Over half a million Americans go bankrupt every single year due to medical bills. 40 million can't afford to see a doctor.
These inequities that leave working-class families to struggle and go bankrupt while corporations profit must come to an end. We need Medicare for All.
Bernie's headed to Michigan to stand with striking Kellogg's workers.
This poster is part of a nutritious lifetime of solidarity with the working class.
Kellogg's workers made the company BILLIONS during a pandemic by working 12-hour shifts, some for more than 100 days in a row. But Kellogg's is now choosing corporate greed over the workers they once called โheroes.โ
On Friday, Iโm going to Michigan to stand with the workers.
My mama has worked as a nurse for decades. Because of our expensive for-profit health care system, sheโs had to delay retirement to be able to afford her medical bills as she's beaten cancer several times. Medical care should not be a luxury โ like Bernie,

When you grow up poor in rural America it can feel like there is no way out. What we are fighting for on this campaign is a 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights which says that economic rights are human rights, and for the dignity of all people, no matter their zip code.

As long as health care is treated as a commodity, we will continue to see needless suffering and anguish like what Amy has had to go through.
No one should go without the medical care they need. We need Medicare for all. Please watch this video.
Thousands of Americans die every year because they cannot afford to see a doctor. Sadly,

We fight for Medicare for All because no parent should have to go through that pain just so a few companies can make more in profit.

How long will AIPAC be able to run blatantly racist campaigns against progressive Democrats without the Democratic Party saying literally anything about its repeated tactics?
NEW: AIPAC has spent >$7 mill to oust Rep. Cori Bush, including on ads distorting her face, elongating her jaw & forehead. โThe people of St. Louis deserve better than to see their first Black Congresswoman racistly distorted into a caricature,โ Bush said.

Question for men:
I recently found out that some men think about cool jackets at least once a day. Like a jacket they once saw. Or a jacket they desire. Or how if they owned a specific jacket, they would wear it to this nice little thing.
Menfolk, do you all do this?
As a former UFCW Kroger worker, I was pretty stoked to do this poster. I'm even more stoked to hear from the UFCW workers during Monday night's town hall.
