Any company that can afford to pay their CEO millions of dollars every year can afford to pay their workers enough to put food on the table.

ICE is still kidnapping people in NYC. Here's a call for rent support for families affected by an ICE abduction in Queens. Shared to me by a trusted friend. Please feel free to donate if you're moved and able.

I heard someone say that we should be registering voters at gas stations.

They could have asked any teacher about this. We knew.

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

I regularly forget the plot of dune. I read it and saw the movies. Like wtf. Too many words maybe

If you're a parent or educator in NYC, please fill out this form and tell them NO FUCKING "A.i." IN THE SCHOOLS, THANKS. (You don't have to use those words.) survey.alchemer.com/s3/8751093/G...

So on Instagram I’m regularly watching: - pruning succulents - mowing overgrown lawns - the guy who straights the lines when they get painted on the road circle caps - the sign guy who washes dirty road signs - a lamb that thinks it’s a dog

The fuck it doesn’t.

The solution the GOP has for the TSA problem they created is so close to getting it.

I purchased beer without ID, call the GOPs.

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

For the first time in 60 years, Palestinians are being barred from praying at Al Aqsa mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam. This morning, Palestinians tried to pray Eid right outside and were brutally attacked by the Israeli Occupation Forces.

Picking up groceries shouldn't require surrendering our most sensitive biometric info. More and more stores and venues are using facial recognition tech and other biometric surveillance to constantly scan our faces, voices, and movement. But a bill in front of New York lawmakers would help stop it.

Republicans blocked our bill to fully fund TSA & their agents. This is the 8th time they've blocked our attempts to reopen TSA, FEMA, & other agencies outside of ICE & CBP at DHS. But they would rather hold these agencies hostage to give Trump's ICE & CBP another blank check.

Genuinely telling you the “we can’t care about xyz if we want to win/get things done” people are probably the most dangerous people around.

The longer I live, the more I witness folks absolutely wanting to give away their ability to think. They absolutely do want to do the thinking themselves.

A two-year extension of ACA subsidies would have cost $60B. Over the last few months the Treasury has borrowed $50B per week. The regime wants $200B for funding a war to make fuel more expensive? Hell no.

Hell yeah!

And this doesn't even factor in the (loooong) wait it takes to get a passport, either new or renewed. It was already several weeks even before the doge-fueled evisceration of the federal workforce

I need NYC dog owners to get it together. Walking down the street right now is navigating a gauntlet of dog shit everywhere. It’s horrible. Pick up the poo!

We have just 17 days until the New York State budget is due on April 1. That’s 17 days for @governor.ny.gov to decide what side she’s on. Either we allow the rich and corporations to hold our state and our lives hostage—or we make them pay what they owe to fund our future.

We’re gathering outside City Hall to send a clear message: New Yorkers deem libraries essential, and our city’s budget should reflect that! Join us and make your voice heard! 📅 Tuesday, March 18 ⏰ 9:00 AM 📍 Outside City Hall actionnetwork.org/events/budge...

Today is Long COVID Awareness Day. I’m glad we have this because there is still a real lack of awareness, even from people like doctors. Long COVID needs more research. We need better treatments urgently. But in the short term we need empathy, understanding, education, and accommodation.

We need to: ✅ overturn Citizens United ✅ ban Congressional stock trading ✅ get dark money out of politics To get corporate influence out of our politics and return it to the people.

Antisemitism in America does not justify apartheid in Israel, apartheid is Israel does not justify antisemitism in America, a very simple concept that people seem to have a lot of trouble grasping.

Love your library? Help us secure stable funding! Take 30 seconds and send the Mayor a short note; Tell him to honor his promise, and fund the NYC library systems at a minimum of 0.5% of the city’s expense budget. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

I made a mute list because sometimes (rarely) these accounts do change and start providing alt text. Though quite a few people have sent me angry DMs or put me on retaliatory lists over the years. Apparently my disability accommodation makes them feel bad, so I'm the asshole. 🤷

My platform doesn’t just include Medicare for All, but the addition of a more robust public health network. Public health is my specialty and it’s all too often overlooked. We have to invest in public health along with Medicare for all so that we can treat people today and prevent diseases tomorrow.

If you need a break, just know you can watch Poirot on PBS passport. He’s a silly goose and a fine detective.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

This is a truly excellent list of resources for anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of Iran.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

According to the latest Siena poll, 54% of voters said Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state Legislature should approve a tax hike on New York City residents making over $1 million. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not “an affair”. RESIGN NOW.

Fuck this, what did your grandmothers do?! One was a librarian and the other was a school social worker/farmer.

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out. If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72
