SEN BERNIE SANDERS: Artificial intelligence is coming for the working class. We must fight back Legislation sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for a federal moratorium on new AI data centers until safeguards protect workers from mass job losses driven by Big Tech oligarchs.

In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages.

As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie.

Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI.

This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about eliminating workers. YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders

Dockworkers on the West Coast broke every productivity record — and are now being replaced by AI anyway.

This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about eliminating workers.

Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars.

I'm proud to support the nurses at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago who are fighting to form a union.

If RUMC can pay its CEO over $4 million a year, it can afford to provide better working conditions for nurses & staffing levels that are safe for their patients.

No more US military aid to Israel | Bernie Sanders The time is long overdue for members of Congress to listen to the American people and end US military aid to the extremist Netanyahu government

Read my new piece in The Guardian here: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon.

The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government.

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.

The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do.

When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide.

We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.

The American people do not want endless war.

Last year, while the billionaire class became much richer as the working class struggled to survive, Trump gave a $1 trillion tax break to the 1% and paid for it by throwing 15 million Americans off the health care they desperately need. This year, while Trump and Netanyahu started a war in Iran, the president wants to increase military spending by $500 billion and pay for that war by reducing funding for childcare, health care, affordable housing and other domestic needs. This is what Trump’s agenda is all about: making himself and his fellow Oligarchs even richer, while decimating programs that working families, the elderly and the children rely on. That is an obscene set of priorities. Congress must reject this proposal and pass a budget that works for all of us, not just the 1%.

Trump’s obscene budget.

Opinion | AI Is a Threat to Everything the American People Hold Dear It kills jobs, equality, connection, democracy and maybe the human race. Congress must act.

70% think AI will lead to fewer jobs.

They are right.

We can’t allow a handful of billionaires, eager to increase their wealth and power, to rush forward with a technology that will fundamentally transform humanity without democratic input or accountability.

Mr. President: I have a better idea. Instead of spending over a trillion dollars on never-ending wars abroad while plunging the working class into poverty here at home, let’s invest in universal childcare, Medicare for All and affordable housing.

America first!

Let me congratulate AFA-CWA & the Flight Attendants at United Airlines on a historic tentative agreement.

After years of fighting a billion-dollar company, they have won their first raises in 6 years to be the highest paid in the industry & will finally be paid for boarding.

Yes, the rich must start paying their fair share of taxes | Bernie Sanders We need a 5% wealth tax on America’s 938 billionaires. Over a ten-year period, this bill would raise much-needed $4.4tn for public coffers

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We can no longer tolerate a rigged tax code that enables billionaires to pay a lower effective tax rate than the average worker & corporations like Tesla & Palantir to pay ZERO in federal income taxes while making billions in profits.

Yes. The wealthy must pay their fair share.

74% of Americans now say the government isn’t doing enough to regulate AI.

They’re right.

That’s why I introduced a moratorium bill - to give us time to address the risks and to ensure that this technology works for all of us, not just the billionaires who own it.

Mayor Mamdani is right.

Families in New York City deserve free child care.

But it’s not just New York. Instead of giving tax breaks to billionaires, Congress must pass a universal child care bill to guarantee high-quality child care for every American family.

How many times can we “obliterate “ Iran’s nuclear capabilities? How many years will Iran be “weeks away” from attacking the U.S.? How many wars can Netanyahu get us into? How many centuries will countries continue fighting religious wars? How many trillions must be spent to feed the military industrial complex? How many innocent men, women and children must be killed and displaced from their homes? END THIS WAR NOW

WHY ARE WE IN IRAN?

Call me a radical, but NO.

We should not be replacing teachers in America with robots.

We should attract the best and brightest in our country to become teachers and pay them the decent wages that they deserve.

Today, 3,800 meatpacking workers in Greeley, CO are striking against JBS — the world's largest meat processing company — over dangerous conditions and impossible line speeds.

JBS made $2B in profits last year.

Yes, they can afford to keep workers safe.

Jeff Bezos, worth $233 billion, wants to raise $100 billion to replace factory workers with robots.

That’s a declaration of war against the working class.

He must explain to the American people what happens when millions lose their jobs. How will they survive?

In America today, wealth inequality has become so extreme that the top 1% now own as much stock and mutual funds as the bottom 99% combined.

No democracy is sustainable when so few have so much while so many have so little.

We need an economy that works for all, not the 1%.

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth, is raising $100 billion to replace workers with robots around the world.

The oligarchs want it all. Not going to happen.

Stand up and FIGHT BACK.

The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history.

That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran.

The answer is NO.

We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.

I spoke to AI agent Claude YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights.

What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

Bernie Sanders to force disapproval votes over U.S. arms sales to Israel “No more weapons to support an illegal war,” the senator said in a statement.

Given the horrific destruction that Israel’s extremist government has wrought on Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, the last thing in the world American taxpayers need to do right now is to provide 22,000 new bombs to the Netanyahu government.

No more weapons to support an illegal war.

Trump and his friends are in political trouble.

Their response?

Make it harder for you to vote and disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans.

Trump said it out loud: If they pass the SAVE Act, Republicans will "never lose a race for 50 years.”

Vote NO.
