Bernie Sanders' 1972 Essay on Rape

After Sanders gained political prominence as a presidential candidate in 2015, that essay was brought to wider attention in a profile of Sanders published by Mother Jones on 26 May 2015: What Sanders did share with the young radicals and hippies flocking to Vermont was a smoldering idealism forged during his college years as a civil rights activist — he coordinated a sit-in against segregated housing and attended the 1963 March on Washington — but only a fuzzy sense of how to act on it.

Sanders bounced back and forth between Vermont and New York City, where he worked at a psychiatric hospital. After his marriage broke up in the late 1960s, he moved to an A-frame farmhouse outside the Vermont town of Stannard, a tiny hamlet with no paved roads in the buckle of the commune belt.

The reporter on the NYT's Bernie Sanders beat consistently fails to identify her sources as corporate lobbyists

Ember's negative reporting on Sanders might be the result of her deep connections to the finance world: she came to the Times after a career as an analyst at the coal-boosting hedge fund Blackrock and she's married to Mike Bechek, son of the former CEO of Bain & Company, where he also worked. FAIR's Katie Halper has dug deep into Ember's network of go-to sources for quotes on why no one should vote for Sanders, showing that they are drawn from the ranks of the finance and corporate lobbyist world. Ember quotes the likes of: * Otto J. . * Mary Anne Marsh, whom Ember calls "a Democratic strategist in Boston who worked for Senators Senators John Kerry and Edward M.

Sanders: My Administration Would Feature Population Control In Climate Fight

The planet cannot sustain this growth. "The answer is yes," Sanders responded. "And the Mexico City agreement, which denies American aid to those organizations around the world that allow women to have abortions or even get involved in birth control to me is totally absurd," he continued.

This characterization is misleading as the Mexico City policy specifically refers to abortion, not birth control in general. Critics of the policy refer to it as the "global gag rule" because it forbids NGOs from providing abortion referrals. Sanders Says He Favors Population Control To Combat Climate Change.

On July 19, a complaint was filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against Sanders and his campaign, the Daily Wire reported. Bad optics Whether anything will actually come from this complaint or not remains to be seen, but it represents very bad optics for Sanders, who had just put to rest a scandal over low hourly rates when news of this complaint hit. Several workers had gone public against the Sanders campaign stating that due to longer hours, their negotiated salary of $15 per hour was more like $13 per hour. Sanders exacerbated the situation by cutting employee hours rather than paying them more money.

Bernie Sanders campaign announces it will cut hours to pay staffers $15 minimum wage, prompting mockery. Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders announced this weekend he will cut staffers' hours so that they can effectively be paid a $15-an-hour minimum wage, prompting mockery from critics who say the move is more evidence that Sanders' plan to raise the national minimum wage is hypocritical and would only lead to less work and more unemployment. The Washington Post first reported last Thursday that Sanders' field staffers were upset that Sanders championed a $15 minimum wage on the campaign trail, and made headlines for railing against major corporations who pay "starvation wages" -- even as his own employees made "poverty wages.

" In response, Sanders told The Des Moines Register he was "very proud" to lead the first major presidential campaign with unionized workers, but also "bothered" that news of the internal strife had spilled into the media.

It is really not what labor negotiations are about, and it’s improper.” Bernie Sanders: 'Abolish the Electoral College' Sanders took to Twitter Friday afternoon and wrote “Abolish the Electoral College” in response to an NBC News analysis that theorized that President Trump could win the presidential election in 2020 and lose the popular vote by five million: NBC’s analysis points to the population booms in California and Texas.

A report from the Congressional Budget Office on Monday determined that a minimum wage hike to $15 an hour by 2025 could put up to 3.7 million Americans out of work. “The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour for most workers. The Congressional Budget Office examined how increasing the federal minimum wage to $10, $12, or $15 per hour by 2025 would affect employment and family income,” the CBO report said.

Here’s what the report found for raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour (emphasis added): In an average week in 2025, the $15 option would boost the wages of 17 million workers who would otherwise earn less than $15 per hour. Another 10 million workers otherwise earning slightly more than $15 per hour might see their wages rise as well.
