Healthcare is a human right. With the New York Health Act, we’ll end premiums, co-pays, and deductibles — for good. Single-payer healthcare for all New Yorkers. Read more about what I heard at our healthcare town hall last Thursday in our latest substack: open.substack.com/pub/delgadof...

It’s truly bananas we’re expected to go about our lives eating lunch and putting on pants like the President isn’t a well documented child sex predator who was best friends with the king of child sex predators

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Imagine this fellah 1000s of times bigger and out of focus. Im not saying i know anything, but, you know… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Kendrick, Joyce Carol Oates, Menswear Guy, and Isaac Chotiner are the Voltron of People You Don't Want Focusing on You

Tuning into my kid’s college radio show (The Rainbow Room) to distract me from the Dem dumpster fire. If you’d like to as well, they’d likely appreciate the listen! wamhradio.mixlr.com

I know many of us are feeling deflated this morning, but I'm going to ask a favor: please follow the link below & sign the petition. It's simple, should take less than a minute, and is in the service of a very good cause, trying to preserve a historic federal building and its New Deal-era murals🙏

well it lasted a long time but at least it was pointless

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Anyway, it'd be good if we had a multi-party system.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means. Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

📢With Senate Dems on the brink of caving with no healthcare protection, tag them with jellyfish on socials! Demand: DO not end the shutdown without an ACA win! This is the only leverage you and we have. Please show the strength and spine we are confident you have. Not the fear of a non-vertebrate.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Democrats just swept the off-year elections -- and not just in blue states -- a resounding rejection of Republicans' authoritarian bullshit. It is an insult to Democratic voters, marketplace enrollees, and everyone who turned out on Tuesday for Schumer and Jeffries to cave.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

The way I screamed when he quoted Mario Cuomo in his acceptance speech. A good night for a change in this hellscape

Rochester, put this meet/greet on your calendars and use the QR code to RSVP! @delgadoforny.bsky.social is coming here next week. @indivisibleroc.bsky.social

So the push against @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, the *elected* Dem candidate, is coming from a sex pest, a bribe-taker, and a bribe-taking fascist-appeaser. They just need Eliot Spitzer to round out the crew.

NESCAC kid for the win! My very bones, weary from daily rage, celebrated tonight.

In response to the Supreme Court decision in U.S. v. Skrmetti, Rochester LGBTQ+ Together will be gathering with community partners and friends in Rochester this Monday to show up for Trans folx and say that Trans rights are not up for debate!

I reread Huck Finn (couldn’t remember much from high school) before reading Percival Everett’s James. James was fantastic. Highly recommend. I wanted to hurl HF across the room, but I’m glad I read these two in succession. #BookSky

But do care about doing your own work. Your brain needs it.

And although it is difficult and time-consuming, one of the most important tools we have against the constant barrage of chaos and misinformation from this administration is our commitment to context and nuance. We can't afford to lose sight of that.

BRING THEM HOME rally in Rochester, NY, today outside the Fed Bldg, home to the local offices of Schumer and Gillibrand. A couple hundred showed up on short notice. No sign, of course, of either Senator. @indivisibleroc.bsky.social @indivisible.org

He’s drawing attention to the issue and trying something. Thank you, @markey.senate.gov. It’s shameful that my own senators, @schumer.senate.gov, a supposed leader, and Gillibrand, haven’t done a damn thing. #WTFChuck

Rochester, show up at 5pm this Wed, 4/23, 100 State St. #BringHimHome #DueProcess4All #DemLeaderVanHollen

If nothing else, we’re getting new music from Pulp. Jarvis always helps. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-27a...

Wildly inaccurate, tone-deaf, and possibly worse than the incessant talk of eggs. He needs to step down. We need a leader.

We were hoping for 1,000. About 4,000 showed up. Thanks, Rochester, NY! @indivisibleroc.bsky.social #HandsOff

Free shuttles for the Rochester NY Hands Off event this Saturday. Parking in the area isn’t great; I’d highly recommend taking advantage of this generous gift from the Federation of Social Workers. #HandsOff

If you’ll be anywhere near Rochester this Saturday, sign up and show up! #HandsOff

A banger for Trans Day of Visibility

Flyer!

This thing needs bodies. Let’s go, Rochester people!

So, @schumer.senate.gov, a week ago, we weren’t in a constitutional crisis, but now we are? After you collaborated with Trump and his party last Friday? Great. Got it.

“Stop the Cuts” rally and die-in today outside the Federal Building (offices of Sens. Schumer and Gillibrand), Rochester, NY. More than 100 protestors, and lots of support from passing cars. @indivisibleroc.bsky.social @indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

I wrote about leaders who don't (or won't) lead, the death of a political order unsuited for these dark times, what the new one should look like, and the importance of playing to win. New visions for a new and better America: Solidarity, leadership, reframing. www.the-reframe.com/the-beached-...

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.

Give them no peace.

Traitorous appeasers.

This piece features AOC and Jayapal, but it also has comments from a typically very centrist House rep, Joe Morelle. The anger against @schumer.senate.gov crosses all facets of the Dem party. We’re all pissed beyond belief. www.npr.org/2025/03/13/n...

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

Republicans: [hands giant piece of their constitutional authority and dignity to Trump] Trump: [cackling, starts to walk off] A DOOR SLAMS OPEN. The DEMOCRATS are standing tall in the door, their shadows cast long and defiant. Chuck Schumer: STOP! Trump: ? Schumer: you forgot this piece
