We are in the “Ms. Rachel is Hamas” stage of Israel’s genocide insanity. Dear God, just uplifting the suffering of Palestinian children will get you attacked by these monsters. Unreal.

Morally bankrupt genocide apologists have reached a new low by going after the beloved Ms Rachel. Why? She has the moral courage to humanize Palestinian children! We stand in unwavering solidarity with Mrs. Rachel and her message of love and justice for ALL children. 👶🏿👧🏾🧒🏽👦🏻

Outside of Eric Adams, no single elected official has done more damage to NYC than New York’s #1 Nepo Baby, Andrew Cuomo. Here’s the proof 🧵

While our attention is captured by the Adams corruption scandal, the cost of living crisis grinds on. A report released by 5Boro Institute yesterday found a staggering 61% of New Yorkers say it's becoming difficult to meet their basic needs. Half are considering leaving NYC.

Eric Adams sold out our children and working families to Trump to keep his own corrupt ass out of jail. This is ruling class solidarity. We need working class solidarity. Join DSA: socialists.nyc/join

One concrete thing everybody can do to support federal workers is participate in (and spread the word about) the February 19 Save Our Services day of action bit.ly/SOSaction

Hard to exaggerate the stakes: If large numbers of unions, workers, and activists stand up in solidarity with federal workers, Musk can be isolated and defeated But if they don't, the immediate future for all our movements is looking pretty bleak

Trump is testing the waters with Musk’s coup If there’s only mild resistance when he attacks a big powerful opponent (federal unions), this’ll encourage further power grabs & even harder attacks vs those w/ fewer resources: immigrants, trans people, Palestine activists, leftists

Non-union workers, the fight of federal workers is also your fight Not only do good union jobs raise the bar for all bosses, but if Musk can terrorize federal employees into submission, your boss can try to do the same: intimidation, layoffs, + increased workloads for less pay

If Musk illegally busts federal employee unions with little public outcry or broad labor fightback, every employer will take note & try to copycat Remember: Reagan’s 1981 firing of federal PATCO airtraffic controllers sparked an employer offensive in all industries vs all unions

Musk’s attacks on federal workers pose an existential threat to the whole labor movement, all workers, and the broad Left It’s alarming that most people don’t yet understand the stakes 🧵

Finding Joy in The Worst Times,Thu Feb 6: 📚Listening to Sally Rooney’s new novel “Intermezzo” on audiobook on my NYC Public Library App.

Elon Musk is a billionaire union-buster who wants government to work for him, not for working people. We’re at the Department of Labor today to say: Not on our watch.

We’ve filed an emergency lawsuit to stop Musk’s DOGE from unlawfully accessing the Department of Labor’s systems and information. Elon Musk has NO business raiding the Department of Labor to obtain the sensitive personal information of working people. aflcio.org/press/releas...

🚨 BREAKING: The @aflcio.org, EPI, and four major unions have filed an injunction against DOGE and the Trump-appointed Acting Sec of Labor. They’re seeking a temporary restraining order to keep Musk’s minions out of the DOL’s data. More at @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/elon...

Howard Zinn: “To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. 1/4

🚨TRUMP IS TRYING TO BAN HEALTHCARE FOR TRANS KIDS🚨 NYU Langone is one of the few hospitals in the country that's begun withholding life-saving healthcare for trans kids. Join us for an emergency rally tomorrow. Demand NYU Langone reverse this decision! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ actionnetwork.org/events/prote...

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

NYC public schools must protect trans students, respect LGBTQ+ educators, & teach real history—no matter what Trump says. Send a letter to NYC education leaders saying we want education, not erasure! actionnetwork.org/letters/educ...

They set up a snitch line for DEI in the federal government. If you feel like sending your best copies of the bee movie script or some queer smut, have at it. [email protected]

“To be orderly and cooperative in a fascist state is not a virtue. We must be prepared to live and act defiantly, deriving no legitimacy from the illegitimate brutes who would govern us.

@aoc.bsky.social live on IG rn with DA TRUTH: 1) Do NOT consent in advanced. They'll do things that are illegal and depend on people to let them. DON'T. Do not comply. 2) Maintain the great American tradition of HATING NAZIS. 3) Keep the light on- Don't let these people's bullshit get you down. 1/

My partner went back to work today after 4 glorious months of being together with our baby. I go back next week. We’ve gotten more time than most working people get, and yet it’s not nearly enough. This country is ruthless to new parents.

it’s insane that instagram knows that we’re thinking about having our baby try solid food so it markets baby food delivery services to us and content from “parent influencers” who use their babies as monetizing props. being a parent in this stage of capitalism is f’d up, folks.

"All that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need." Merry Christmas. Peace on Earth. Free Palestine.

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

Been in FL for a week and the far right swing is so palpable here, it’s shaken me up. The casual racism, Trump gear everywhere. Trying to be open + engage with partner’s family about politics, but when we’re not operating from the same reality, it feels impossible/hopeless.🧵

Yes.

. @aoc.bsky.social on what got her to join @socialists.nyc: "A lot of people talk about [organizing], but aren't always being about it. This was a community of people who were being about it."

Join us for a night of connection, support and inspiration for NYC parents as we come together to discuss #parenting and how we build collective power in the new Trump administration. actionnetwork.org/events/famil...

"I want to raise my kids in New York." A feeling so many parents share but too few get to realize due to the city's escalating affordability crisis, especially when it comes to childcare. Proud to see CwK member @dianamor.bsky.social featured in @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s launch video!

Free Palestine. What we do in this moment is how history will remember us. Use whatever power you have, risk whatever you must, to protect our Palestinian siblings from U.S. sponsored genocide.
