Am watching the Grammys, something I haven’t done for a long time. What are you up to? 🙂

I did enjoy Alicia Keyes’ callout to Cardi B (in song):

“Commander-in-chief impeached,
y’all get out,
let’s bring Cardi B,
Cardi! Can you please show these people what to do?
Cuz music changes the world,
just like Beethoven said,
old dude in a wig,
but I still give him some cred,
It’s just too many lies,
too much hate, too much spin.
It’s when good people do nothing that the bad guys win”

How did Bernie do today with those five engagements? I even saw MSNBC talking about Bernie running around Iowa today.

I enjoyed the Prince tribute that Usher did, very well done.

Lol

Hey man, Usher’s tribute was cool. But if we’re keeping it a buck, you know Prince would have been watching like… #Grammys pic.twitter.com/vp59h2ZuGW

If only there were a way to explain how and why The Economist is still such a shitty colonial rag.
Oh wait! There's literally a (new) @CitationsPod for that. https://t.co/dIcDZj5xcr https://t.co/GjrUcQLwZb

a very ❤️warming 🧵

story from canvassing for Bernie in Muscatine, Iowa: I knocked on a door w/ 7 voters listed. 30-something guy answered. Said he’s not political, never votes. I engaged for a while, played all the hits: M4A, wiping out student debt, immigrant rights, etc. Nothing seemed to stick. pic.twitter.com/o7WU8bfWOE

all your bye done clips in one place

Videos alone make Biden unelectable:
📺Clips of being creepy with kids & women.
📺Clips of being rude & aggressive.
📺Clips of being racist & homophobic.
📺Clips of trying to cut social security.
📺Clips of supporting the Iraq War.
📺Clips of lying about all of the above.

So psyched to see #ScientistsforBernie picking up momentum!
Let's build on this! Let's galvanize support for radical and egalitarian ideas. We must fight for a democratic science organized around meeting human needs!

This is brutal. What happened to Elizabeth Warren? It was a terrible idea to back off from Medicare for All. https://t.co/Z6ZNIbof5T

Amy, you are off the list!

Amy Klobuchar: Bernie Sanders shouldn’t “be leading the ticket”

https://www.axios.com/klobuchar-bernie-sanders-2020-presidential-election-ebae634e-2321-4417-92d1-ab1f377bca57.html

“I think Senator Sanders’ idea of kicking 149 million Americans off their current health insurance in four years is wrong. That’s why I don’t think he should be leading the ticket. I think I should be leading the ticket because my ideas are much more in sync with bold ways of getting things done,” Klobuchar argued.

Amy ahead of Elizabeth?

Dang Bernie. Also Klob at 13! The media is finally giving her life! https://t.co/sIDjYyyPdm

full throated MM. I hear AOC dances, and (word is) Portugal.

Demagogues like Trump try to divide us up. Our movement is about coming together to create a nation where every person is able to live with dignity. Live rally in Sioux City with @AOC, @MMFlint and @portugaltheman: https://t.co/Pq3BGand5V
