You may feel this is nothing to fret about but your 80-year old neighbour or your HIV+ resident science journalist may disagree.

We should compensate by caring even more about each other than usually, because we are, of course, all in this together.

If a candidate did claim victory, when he or she had no reason to, that’s really awful. We already have a liar-in-chief. #Demsarebetter

A little diary of my little visit to Tokyo is yours to enjoy now. If you find it enjoyable. It was filmed by a wonderful man, now a friend, Tomohiko Yoshida with some help from Suho Kim I love you all, I hope you know it. 🌻 youtu.be/WNljDiFCbQU

Reducing your meat and dairy intake can help mitigate climate change. Melissa Clark’s personal guide to eating less meat and dairy includes tips, strategies and plenty of recipes.

@chillswithsloth @ABC7Shack @_ericblanc @abc7newsbayarea "manufacture rather than report" yeah that's a really good way to put it. When I searched online for the presidential debate, all I got was "Key takeaways from" / "What you need to know about" etc. It took way too much digging to find the actual debate video!

Americans should not be paying 20 or 30% of their incomes on health care. We must have the guts to take on the insurance and drug companies. It won't be easy, but that is what we have to do.

Unreliable electricity and water, untreated wounds, vermin. These prison conditions are intolerable. We lock up more people—disproportionately Black and brown—than any other country on Earth. We need comprehensive prison reform as a matter of racial and social justice.

Using contraband cellphones, prisoners at Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman have captured images of fights, broken toilets, holes in prison walls, dangling wires and dead rodents caught in sticky traps. Many of the photos were texted to @nytimes. nyti.ms/2swuKkD

In other words, “I haven’t done anything to improve the lives of women, and I don’t plan to. But I’ll pretend to care about women in an effort to defame my opponent, who has detailed policy to significantly improve the lives of EVERYONE, including women.”

“We need to get our country back on track, and Bernie is the leader to do it. Bernie refuses to give in to the big money and corporate power.” -Jeffrey Sachs, Columbia University professor and U.N. adviser

Democracy means one person, one vote. In my view, someone making the minimum wage should have the same amount of political influence as a multibillionaire.

Why will our agenda—living wages, a healthy planet, peace, health care, education and housing for all—succeed? Because that is the agenda of the working class. The majority. And when working people come together and fight for it, big-money interests don’t stand a chance.

Student debt cancellation will be fully paid for by a tax on Wall Street speculation—similar to what exists in dozens of other countries. The American people bailed out Wall Street, now it's Wall Street's turn to help America's working families. medium.com/@SenSanders/th…

We are the only campaign that has proposed eliminating all outstanding medical debt. It is unconscionable that in America we punish people for the "crime" of getting sick with outrageous debt or bankruptcy.

Tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they don't have the health care that they need. I think the American people have a right to be angry about that.

In Nevada, @BernieSanders has secured his latest in a flurry of endorsements this week: “The Clark County Black Caucus represents the diverse coalition we’re building in Nevada and I am proud to gain their support" cbsnews.com/news/with-a-fl…
