Earlier today, @governor.ny.gov spoke with Dan Mannarino at @pix11.bsky.social, where she said “taxing the rich is 'off the table' because she won’t 'tax the wealthy for the sake of raising taxes.’ But here's the truth: if we don't #taxtherich, people will die. Read our full statement here:

Nothing to see here🙄

An absolute queen

and what if I told you the Governor celebrated her Friday night by VETOing this bill

The Utility Consumer Advocate Bill gives everyday New Yorkers our own watchdog in the room. It's on Governor Hochul’s desk right now, and we don't have much time. Tell Governor Hochul: Sign the Bill and stand with New York ratepayers at cit.ac/ouca

The governor has now vetoed this bill. Yet another example of the Governor’s hypocrisy when she talks about caring about consumer affordability and of her total disregard for the climate crisis.@citizenactionny

Co-Executive Directors @garrar26.bsky.social and @cmartinezclass.bsky.social are here in NYC to celebrate Our Everyday Heroes and the work they do to advance Our Justice Agenda!

Press warned to back up as DHS police take lawmakers were taken away in zip ties, among them Comptroller Brad Lander and 10 other state reps including Bobby Carol, Marcela Mitayanes, Julia Salazar, Emily Gallagher, Jabari Brisport, Jessica Gonzalez Rojas,... story TK

Bernie to Dems:

Alexis traveled from #NorthCarolina to talk with Senator Thom Tillis about how Medicaid allows her disabled daughter, Kinsley, to live at home and in her community instead of at the hospital. "We are advocating for #Medicaid because Medicaid is a lifeline..." #ProtectMedicaid

NYC-DSA had ~5,000 members when Zohran announced his campaign in October. It gained another ~3,000 members between Zohran's announcement and primary election day, thanks to Zohran's campaign and reaction to Trump's presidential win. It will likely attract even more following Zohran's win.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has said repeatedly he condemns antisemitism, and has personally hurt no one. Andrew Cuomo has had credible allegations of sexual harassment and all these people shared no concern for the safety of the women in NYC. It is vile, racist, political, and we see it.

“We strongly condemn Senator Gillibrand’s shameful and racist remarks. Her rhetoric fuels a dangerous, Islamophobic smear campaign against Mamdani — a campaign that has led to death threats and calls for his deportation. This is not just irresponsible, it is reprehensible."

Last day @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social !!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

When our Dem leaders stand up and fight back with us, that’s how we win. Huge props to @bradlander.bsky.social

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

@speakercarlheastie.bsky.social really hoping TDI passes the Assembly this session - NY workers can’t survive cancer on $170/wk and no health insurance for chemo. MA and NJ workers get over $1K/wk and continued health care. Anything you can do please and thank you 🙏🏼

This just came in the mail and I’m excited to dig in!👏🏻

Right now! Our own @cmartinezclass.bsky.social, with @pplsaction.bsky.social and @progressivecaucus.bsky.social on protecting Medicaid! → youtube.com/live/JNYXs61...

If you’re not subscribing to my dear friend @stanfritz.bsky.social , you’re truly missing out. open.substack.com/pub/stanfrit...

Medicaid helped save Richard's life and allowed him to live with dignity. Stories like Richard's are the reason we must fight to protect our care - because over 7 million New Yorkers rely on Medicaid to survive. Have your own Medicaid story? Visit cit.ac/health-story to share yours.

And while the administration he works for does this……..🤔

Basketball is the sport always institutionally leading the way on social justice issues. Love to see it

Corey Booker - you’ve won a fan🫡

And just like that, petitions are in! 🙏🏽 Thank you to everyone who volunteered or signed our petition. ✨A special shoutout to Jessi who managed our operation seamlessly! As always, we love our lawyer, Ali! Simply the best.

Proud to be part of @citizenactionny.bsky.social taking on the big fights for climate justice in NY nysfocus.com/2025/03/31/n...

“Our endorsed candidates share our vision of a New York where everyone has access to quality healthcare, affordable housing, fully funded public schools, and a fair economy that works for all,” said Jesse Koklas, NYC Regional Director, Citizen Action of New York. Learn more at cit.ac/endorsements

Grateful to have @citizenactionny.bsky.social on my side as we fight for universal childcare, truly affordable housing, and environmental justice. Fighting back against the Trump agenda at home means ensuring New York City works for working people, not just the wealthy and well connected.

I've worked with Citizen Action for years, including fighting for affordable housing, healthcare, climate initiatives, criminal justice reform & gender justice. I'm privileged to have earned their endorsement for Council District 2! @citizenactionny.bsky.social @citizenactionnyc

Senator Schumer @schumer.senate.gov raised his voice to stand up for Medicaid and Medicare over tax cuts for billionaires. It's bolstering to see our Senators stand up and raise their voices in this moment. Let's see some more. Keep up the energy—let's go!

Senator Gillibrand @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social joined to speak out against the attacks on Medicaid and Medicare from DOGE and Musk, and the importance of protecting Social Security. #HandsOFF

Our neighboring NJ Senator @booker.senate.gov has been taking a stand for 21+ hours to tell the stories of the communities hurt most by these drastic MAGA and DOGE cuts. It's not business as usual. It's critical our leaders step up and use their voices and their legislative powers in opposition.

This is some of the energy this country needs right now. So here for it🔥 youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

We have not forgotten the ways that Andrew Cuomo abused his power by harassing and bullying women. We have not forgotten Cuomo’s scandals and the culture of bullying, corruption and impunity that he created in Albany.

Andrew Cuomo, in addition to being a serial sexual harasser, knowingly sent people with Covid into old folks homes, leading to a massive rate of infection and death for the elderly. Read and share the @propublica.org story about how Andrew Cuomo killed your elders.

New York has been having a real main-character moment lately 🫠 so even as we organize and build power here at home during the legislative session, we’re keeping our eyes—and the pressure—on our federal government. Stay in the loop with our Democracy Watch newsletter →

New: A state appellate court reversed a lower court ruling that found the New York Voting Rights Act unconstitutional. Meaning that the state law for now is upheld. It's still possible that this could wind up in SCOTUS though. Little snippet from the decision static1.squarespace.com/static/60a55...

What’s that expression about a zebra and its stripes?🤔 www.nydailynews.com/2025/01/30/c...

Must read OpEd by @jessicaramosqns.bsky.social and @solagesny.bsky.social . We must pass TDI reforms early this session. NYers can’t wait. citylimits.org/2025/01/16/o...

We cannot shrink in the face of what they will try to take away from us. Our best defense against the next administration is each other—not abandoning our communities to fit inside the box that establishment consultants say that our party needs to check.

Having over 150,000 students who are homeless in New York State is a massive policy failure.

Today, we’re reflecting on the complicated truth of this holiday. We can and must hold on to gratitude for our families, communities, and our crucial work, while also acknowledging the long history of colonialism and genocide against Native and Indigenous peoples that led us here.

So proud of this win! 🙌🏼

I recently led a letter to Governor Hochul urging her to sign 3 pieces of legislation to expand childcare access. Thank you to my 15 colleagues who joined me in signing onto letter to state clearly that we must make New York more affordable for our working-class families.

Reminder for NYC political journalists: three victims of Andrew Cuomo are suing him in state and federal civil court. I am not one of them. When you write your stories, make sure they are accurate and not carbon copy lies of his one man propaganda machine.

Our team at staff retreat last week! The road ahead is long and it won’t be easy, but working with these incredible people has us extra grateful.
