      1. When you don’t like someone, or even worse, if you hate them, you see everything that person does, even the genuinely good stuff, through the filter of your hate. Yesterday, @BernieSanders gave a deeply emotional speech about the painful origins of his heart for human rights.pic.twitter.com/Hc1if4IFwA

      2. It was a speech that @BernieSanders has resisted his entire life. He has kept so much of the pain of his past to himself. The speech was beautiful and honest and transparent. And hard for him. He spoke directly of the horrible impact the Holocaust had on his family.

      3. For his entire life, @BernieSanders has flat out refused to explain the powerful stories behind these images. It’s so deep. His mother and father had each just passed away. Both were young. All alone in the world, Bernie threw his entire life into the Civil Rights Movement.pic.twitter.com/vpcmDibxfJ

      4. Bernie stood in front of bulldozers and chained himself to two Black women to protest the horrible conditions of Black school children. He was arrested here - just days before he would attend the March in Washington. He LOVED Dr. King. Idolized his world view.pic.twitter.com/21U5D2aRGm

      6. But @BernieSanders revered leaders of the Civil Rights Movement of the South so much, that he never wanted anyone to think he was using his early activism for his personal/political gain. I have dozens of more stories. But he kept them all to himself. Even from family.

      7. And as I started to ask why - why did @BernieSanders keep so much of his origin story to himself, it was there that I learned it had EVERYTHING to do with the Holocaust and with the early death of his mother and father. Bernie’s dad escaped the Holocaust. His family didn’t.

      8. @BernieSanders was born the year the Holocaust began. The next year, while Bernie was a baby in Brooklyn, Hitler’s barbarism ravaged Bernie’s entire family -killing aunts, uncles, cousins, children, elders, and more. But back in Brooklyn, that trauma was endured silently.

      9. As Bernie and his brother Larry grew up, all around them, all over their neighborhood, were families with numbers on their arms. Many escaped alone. But it was endured by most, observed by most, in utter silence. Even at home. And Bernie carried this silence through his life.

      10. When @BernieSanders gave this line, @_waleedshahid is right, it pained him. I saw his family crying. For those who hate Bernie, it was nothing. But for those of us who love & know him, it was a breakthrough. A revelation.https://twitter.com/_waleedshahid/status/1101955693811245056 …

      This is @BernieSanders' face at the moment he talked about the story of his dad escaping anti-Semitism in Europe and living paycheck-to-paycheck. As @shaunking said, he seems genuinely still in a lot of pain about what he and his parents went through. "I know where I came from." pic.twitter.com/0QqKUNHGvu

          11. Yesterday Bernie spoke of race, racism, & at least 11 connected issues tied to both. I know because I helped review and edit the speech. For those in attendance, and those who don’t have open animosity toward Bernie, it was great. People who loathe him, loathed the speech.

          12. I’ll end with this. @BernieSanders cares DEEPLY about race, racism, discrimination, and the systems that are maintained by white supremacy & bigotry. I mean he cares deep into the marrow of his bones, his soul. It’s who he is. If you insist otherwise, that’s on you.

          The change isn’t going to come if in the closed primary states people don’t switch over to Democrat just like in 2016. We should know better and he should be mentioning these things in his speech. Or one of the guest speakers. Spread the word to switch to make sure you are a Dem
