Hop on the bus and join our friends from Citizen Action of New York to rally for the Rent Emergency Stabilization for Tenants (REST) Act.

New! Former Rep. & ERA NOW founder Carolyn Maloney on the Driving the Vote for Equality Tour, based on the original suffrage drive and shines a spotlight on the unfinished business of American democracy: recognizing the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.

Gas up 11% in ONE week. $3.32 a gallon — highest in 18 months. 92,000 jobs gone. You started an unauthorized war AND killed the job market simultaneously. Drill baby drill was supposed to LOWER prices. How’s that working out? #TrumpsJobsSlump​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We’re glad that Kristi Noem has been fired and she should face real accountability for DHS’ rampant violence. But Noem’s firing doesn’t suddenly solve the crisis at DHS. Swapping personnel without changing course is not accountability — it’s a spin tactic. What we really need is structural change.

Tonight at 7!

From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, our Members of Congress must use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to this war. Make sure your elected officials hear from you.

Trump is demanding the SAVE Act after riling his base with lies about fraud. The bill could block 21 million citizens by requiring passports or raised seal birth certificates most people lack. Thank you to Senator Schumer & Gillibrand for fighting to keep it off the floor! #SaveActTaxesYourVote

History is clear: People-led movements—not force, not one politician—are how we end authoritarianism. Every time Trump escalates attacks on everyday people, our movement grows STRONGER. March 28 will prove we will not back down. #NoKings2026 social.demcast.com/s/4lxhGmWK

DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesn’t stop ICE and CBP terror. House: indivisible.org/actions/ice-... Senate: 👇

What's more likely to happen with the SAVE Act? Voter suppression, not voter fraud prevention. The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power. Call (202) 224-3121 ＆ tell your MOC to #StopTheSaveAct social.demcast.com/s/QudFPDRs

Organizers in Minnesota have transformed crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. Join us on Thursday to hear from MN community leaders and learn from their model of resisting authoritarianism: bit.ly/resistreimagineMN

TONIGHT: Join the mass call on documenting and recording law enforcement encounters. We’ll discuss how you can keep taking action as federal agents terrorize our communities. Using our constitutional right to document and record ICE & CBP is more important than ever: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Renee Nicole Good was killed for going out in the streets to protect her community. Thousands more people in Minneapolis are going out in the streets to protect their community.

The BPCLC has released its legislative priorities for 2026 that aim to protect reproductive rights, reproductive health care providers, and patients; protect and expand access to reproductive and sexual health care; and improve maternal health: www.nysbpclc.com/legislative-...

Democrats brought us Social Security, Medicare, and the 40-hour work week. We must continue to show in concrete ways how we’ll fight to lower costs and build economic security for families. That must be the Democratic Party’s North Star.

When We Count is a historic, people-powered voter registration campaign to mobilize young and first-time voters where it matters most. Apply to become a When We Count Fellow: 🔗democrats.org/WhenWeCount

Friday at 7PM in Dewitt Park! From the organizers: "We gather to hold space for our grief and to stand together in peace and solidarity. Gather not only for Rene Nicole Good, but for everyone violently impacted by ICE actions including countless immigrants lawlessly detained."

"By proceeding without any semblance of international legitimacy, valid legal authority or domestic endorsement, Mr. Trump risks providing justification for authoritarians in China, Russia and elsewhere who want to dominate their own neighbors." NYT Editorial Board www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/o...

New op-ed from @amannakelles.bsky.social on how the rapid expansion of energy-intensive data centers throughout the NYSEG service area translates into higher electricity bills for everyday customers, even as those facilities themselves pay comparatively low prices for power. Read her op-ed here:

Over the last year, my office has taken bold action to protect tenants and enforce our housing laws. Every family deserves a home where they can breathe easy, raise their children, and build a future.

Breaking News: A grand jury is said to have declined to re-indict Letitia James, rejecting a Trump effort to revive a criminal case.

New! @reprileyny.bsky.social on fixing rural healthcare in the Tompkins Weekly Democratic View. Read Congressman Riley's op-ed here:

Great news from the New York's Public Utility Law Project! Applications for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) open today. Find out more about eligibility here: otda.ny.gov/programs/heap

It's not too late to help make a difference in the Tennessee district 7 Congressional special election! Join a phone bank on Monday evening, 12/1 to remind Democrats to vote for Aftyn Behn on 12/2-a charismatic state rep who is making a splash in a deeply red state! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.

If Congress doesn't act to lower health care costs, families like Ashley's will be forced to choose between paying sky-high premiums or going uninsured. Extending the enhanced ACA tax credits is pro-family, pro-small business, and pro-American.

These ceremonies are as patriotic as you can get. I got to participate in a Tompkins County naturalization ceremony a few years back and it was incredibly joyous. Everyone was so excited to become an American and that should be celebrated

New Democratic View in the Tompkins Weekly! Stacey Dimas urges immediate action to support immigrants in Ithaca, highlighting local resources and volunteer opportunities. Read her Op-ed and find out what you can do to keep immigrants safe:

Mike Johnson tells eight lies in 32 seconds. This has got to be some kind of record.

Infuriating. As @hillaryclinton.bsky.social put it, “It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.”

Senate Republicans are willing to make hard-working Americans choose between buying groceries and accessing health care. That's just wrong.

🚨🚨🚨Today is the last day to comment on the Trump Administration's latest effort to restrict voter registration. The @lwvus.bsky.social has some excellent information about it on their website. Check it out and submit comments today!

"In one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history, nearly seven million Americans gathered today, 2 million more than June, in over 2,700 cities and towns standing together in nonviolent defiance of authoritarianism..." to say #NoKings

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Tompkins County showed up for Ithaca’s #NoKings! @amannakelles.bsky.social fired up the crowd! Thank you to @tompkindivisible.bsky.social for bringing the community together for a peaceful protest, inspiring words, and beautiful music.

Have fun today friends! #NoKings www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZ...

One of my favorite things about monitoring actions throughout the day is seeing the international solidarity start trickling in early 💙💙💙

See you tomorrow!

The world is getting its energy more cheaply and cleanly. But not the United States. Here our electricity bills are skyrocketing. Here’s why.

This is not about saving democracy. It is about protecting our people. On October 18, we rise. Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other. Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful. No Thrones. #NoKings

Trump and the Republicans are trying to take away Medicaid, dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and slash Medicare for millions of Americans. If Republicans don't act now, thousands of people in #NY19 will see huge premium increases.

Thank you, @senatorleawebb.bsky.social!
