@lawrenceodonnelljr.bsky.social: Donald Trump put his surrender and humiliation in writing signing Epstein files bill youtu.be/vjgIwTu1rdM?...

Your legacy is the way you made people feel. Your words and actions and rhetoric. It’s how you’ll be remembered. It’s your lasting impact on others. We should be helpers in this world, not only because it’s right and good and just, but because it is the legacy we leave for others.

We will only be better when we finally do something about access to firearms. The Governor of Utah signed open carry on college campuses into law just this year.

The Russia investigation was never a hoax. The Epstein investigation was never a hoax.

Elbows Up for Canada in Buffalo, NY this morning; that's the Peace Bridge to Canada across the Niagara River. No Trump, no hate, no 51st state.

Elbows up, y'all! Today, in over 25 locations across the longest open border in the world, we are choosing love, solidarity, and friendship over cruelty, grift, predatory petulance. #Never51 elbowsupforcanada.us

And let’s just talk about how much money we pay these people to do nothing but give tax cuts to the rich.

In Western New York, we will rally to celebrate our Canadian friends and steadfast allies on July 5th—at Freedom Park at 11 am and at 8 pm at Terrapin Point in Niagara Falls.

Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on a bold, hard-fought win. New Yorkers want leaders who challenge the status quo. I look forward to working with him to make our city more affordable, equitable, and just—for everyone who calls it home.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Rally against US bombing of #Iran, Monday, June 23, 4-6pm in Niagara Square, #Buffalo.

Tomorrow, May 17, there will be a FIBER ARTS FESTIVAL in our little village in Dundee, NY. If you live anywhere near here, I hope you can stop by. It's not a political event, but hopefully some of our red neighbors will open their hearts, minds, and eyes to good things offered by blue neighbors.

Honoring the memories of those we lost three years ago today ❤️ #Buffalo

A big part of the reason for the significant "inefficiency" in government is that the law builds in process and redundancies. It is easy to increase "efficiency" if you are not law-abiding, but the scare quotes are needed because legal compliance is not inefficient if it is part of the goal.

BUFFALO, NY: Join us Monday May 5 at 5:30pm to demand the release of a group of UFW farm worker leaders who were targeted for arrest and detention in the Batavia ICE detention facility. An attack on any worker is an attack on the rights of every worker.

Last night's LETTERS filled me with hope. Have you read it yet? Team Trump's efforts for FULL SPECTRUM DOMINATION are vulnerable. Maine fights back and wins. AI Trump/Pope, wasteful military parade - so easy to mock. We Can We Must We Will win the fight against Trump & Trumpism. HOLD THE LINE.

Join us for the May FIREWALL meeting. Saturday May 17th @9:00 am. Our guest speaker is Randy Hoak - Commissioner of Senior Services for Erie County.

It only takes 4 Republicans in the House, or 4 in the Senate to stop this.

Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America. And what we can all do to stop it. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBej...

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

…once in a great while, someone will light a lantern—or even two—that will shine forth for democratic principles that are under siege, and set the world ablaze.

the US government is so hostile to immigrants and Palestine activism that they’re snatching students off campuses and deporting them—while radicalized white men like FSU shooter Phoenix Ikner, the son of a cop who used her gun, espouse Nazi ideology and ridicule protesters before killing. my latest
