If the average American were to take in the enormity of the tragedy that is Afghanistan today, plus even a fraction of how spectacularly we failed our own soldiers as well as the people of that country, no one, and I mean no one, would be retaining any faith in our political system as it now exists. I don’t know what is worse - its corruption or its ineptitude. Smash the machine and grow flowers in its place. #Marianne2024

It’s time now for change in America. Nonviolent change. Peaceful change. Loving change. Yet fierce change. Fundamental course-correction. There’s a rumbling underneath the surface of things, and it isn’t going to stop. It will burst into manifestation in one direction or the other: either greater brotherhood and justice, or authoritarianism and dystopia. This isn’t a time to be neutral, because neutrality implies acquiescence to an unjust status quo. In the words of Thomas Paine, “Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.” It’s time to commit to the repair of the world. #marianne2024

Sen. @BernieSanders knows why the union movement is growing fast - people are sick and tired of being mistreated by corporations. #UnionsForAll

Wow. Just a random guess: You have health insurance. You could afford to send your kids to college. You’re able to live on just one job. You make more than $15 an hour.

If it’s not a sniffy censorship bureau then when do I get my Twitter spaces?

Whoever you are, I love you

Never. ever.

This is a formal invitation to @RobertKennedyJr and @POTUS to debate me. Clearly the DNC will not allow Biden to do so. Hopefully @FoxNews, @CNN, @MSNBC or an Independent News outlet will provide either a Town Hall or a debate between Kennedy and myself. I look forward to it.

One of my opponents, @RobertKennedyJr. has stated that we should debate and engage with those with whom we disagree. I think so too. I have substantive differences with both POTUS & RFK Jr., and for the sake of our Republic the people have a right to know their options.🧵

Decriminalize, for sure

Can we have some rambunctiousness here?? Letting people tell you "there's no hope" is how they defeat you. This is what we have going for us: our agenda is the ONLY one aligned with the majority will of both political parties - from universal health care to tuition free college and tech school and even common sense gun safety laws. Go for what you want in life; not for what other people tell you you can have.

Really??? We can debate???

Those are management and administrative positions. The greatest job of the Presidency, in the words of FDR, "is not administrative, but moral leadership."

The danger isn't on the way; the danger is here. This is not a time to ramp up fossil fuel extraction; it's time to ramp it down. We need an emergency level just transition from a dirty economy to a green economy. As President, I will cancel the Willow Project on Day One. Climate denial is killing us. But so is going along with a president who says he gets it, then gives more oil drilling permits than even Trump did. Our greatest enemies are: our own perverse comfort zones; "brand protection;" and staying neutral in a time of crisis. #Marianne2024 @SDonziger @ClimateHuman
