Senator Bernie Sanders describes himself as “somewhat of a technology Luddite,” but that hasn’t stopped the Vermont senator from embracing the power of live-streaming. Earlier this year, Sanders reached millions of Americans by broadcasting live town-hall meetings on Medicare for All and inequality in America on Facebook, Twitter, and other outlets. “It turns out that live-streaming is revolutionary,” he recently told The Nation.

Tonight (May 14, 2018) at 7 pm EST, the senator will host another town hall on the consequences of Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. The event takes place as Iran and Israel continue to clash in Syria—and after Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinians at the Gaza border, killing dozens. Meanwhile, the Trump administration formally moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, drawing mass protests. You can watch the live stream here and on Senator Sanders’s Facebook page.

Support independent journalism that exposes oligarchs and profiteers


Donald Trump’s cruel and chaotic second term is just getting started. In his first month back in office, Trump and his lackey Elon Musk (or is it the other way around?) have proven that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar of unchecked power and riches.

Only robust independent journalism can cut through the noise and offer clear-eyed reporting and analysis based on principle and conscience. That’s what The Nation has done for 160 years and that’s what we’re doing now.

Our independent journalism doesn’t allow injustice to go unnoticed or unchallenged—nor will we abandon hope for a better world. Our writers, editors, and fact-checkers are working relentlessly to keep you informed and empowered when so much of the media fails to do so out of credulity, fear, or fealty.

The Nation has seen unprecedented times before. We draw strength and guidance from our history of principled progressive journalism in times of crisis, and we are committed to continuing this legacy today.

We’re aiming to raise $25,000 during our Spring Fundraising Campaign to ensure that we have the resources to expose the oligarchs and profiteers attempting to loot our republic. Stand for bold independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
