“Like their French peers, many of NY’s billionaires have predicted the fall of civilization if their taxes are raised, but it’s…hard to see how raising from 10.9% on the portion of their income in excess of $25M to 12.9% would bring the walls of the temple tumbling down” prospect.org/economy/2025...

@speakercarlheastie.bsky.social knows what's up. The Federal Budget Scam serves the rich, and the rich alone. New Yorkers are more than ready to #TaxTheRich. It's time for them to pay their fair share.

The Federal Budget Scam is....scamming working-class New Yorkers.

"Do you think the government should increase taxes on the wealthiest to strengthen the country's social and safety net programs?" Yes: 73% No: 26% Beacon/Shaw / Sep 9, 2025

We're shocked –– shocked we tell you! –– that @nyscomptroller.bsky.social found that the Federal Budget Scam hurts working-class New Yorkers while benefiting the ridiculously rich. Anyone else think it's time for a special session to #TaxTheRich?

This is a disaster for me personally. How the fuck are any of us supposed to survive this?

Why is @governor.ny.gov caving to Trump and taking away our healthcare? If she really wants to protect New Yorkers, she'd #taxtherich so every New Yorker can see a doctor without going broke. It's really that simple...and popular!

@governor.ny.gov could join us in calling for a #SpecialSessionNow to protect NYers from the MAGA budget. Instead, she's cutting off access to healthcare for 450,000 NYers. NYS has the resources to meet NYers' needs -- we just need leaders who are willing to fight for us!

Once again, the super-rich and highly profitable corporations escape paying what they owe. ....Must be nice. It's up to state lawmakers to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share.

Welp, @governor.ny.gov is on board with Trump & Congressional Republicans' efforts to make NY sicker. @axios.com reported this morning that Hochul is scrapping expanded healthcare b/c of the Federal Budget Scam. www.axios.com/2025/09/10/n... Our response (spoiler, she should #TaxTheRich instead)👇

The MAGA budget was signed into law 2 months ago today. NYS lawmakers can protect us from its full impact. But they went on recess in June and they haven't come back to Albany since. Call @governor.ny.gov and your NYS electeds to demand a #SpecialSessionNow! elections.ny.gov/new-york-sta...

"The number of millionaires in New York actually doubled between the years 2010 and 2022, from 35,802 to 69,780." "From 2019 to 2022, the richest 5% of New York City earners garnered 56 percent of all income gains." The rich are doing just fine...and they're not leaving.

"In 2021, when New York increased personal income tax rates for millionaires, the state’s millionaire population grew by 21 percent." Millionaire👏Tax👏Flight👏Is👏A👏Lie👏 Read more from @groundwork.bsky.social: archive.ph/K7f6S (cc: @governor.ny.gov)

Can you count the number of at-risk hospitals in NY? State leaders need to do some thing- NOW. If there were ever a time to #TaxTheRich, this is it. Our hospitals, and New Yorkers’ lives, depend on it.

Yup. Trump's tax cuts for the rich gutted services New Yorkers need. By refusing to raise NY State taxes on the rich, even just to a level that would zero out the cuts they got from Trump, Kathy Hochul is telling us she supports Trump's policy.

💁‍♀️actually. There are VERY clear things Gov Hochul & state leadership can do in the short term Convene a special session to make the obscenely rich pay their fair share and protect our communities from the federal budget scam. Don’t be fooled: redistricting isn’t the only option.

thank you to our state lawmakers who joined @investinourny.bsky.social today to call for a #SpecialSessionNOW to protect NYers from the Federal Budget Scam. Thank you AMs Valdez, Septimo, Gallagher, Raga, Mitaynes, Gonzalez-Rojas + Senators Salazar & Brisport + Lt. Gov Delgado.

Earlier today, dozens of organizations & lawmakers, representing tens of thousands of NYers, called for a #SpecialSession to #TaxTheRich and protect our communities from the Federal Budget Scam. Thank you to our representatives and allies who stood for the safety & dignity of every New Yorker.

Thank you Lt. Governor Delgado for showing up and speaking out in support of a special session to tax the ultra wealthy to protect us from the Federal Budget Scam, and pass #NYAll to protect immigrant New Yorkers currently under attack. It's time to @investinourny.bsky.social!

Kids can’t learn when they’re hungry. 3 million low-income NYers rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Hochul & state leaders must convene a special session to generate new revenue. Thank you for fighting for families @jabaribrisport.bsky.social @juliasalazar.bsky.social @investinourny.bsky.social

“I work taking care of children, and many parents tell me they are afraid of not seeing their children grow up. Picking up children from school is very scary, recently we saw an ICE car outside a school in Port Richmond?” - Maria, member leader @investinourny.bsky.social #NY4All

We’re in NYC and Albany right now, calling in state leadership to convene a #SpecialSession now where they #Taxtherich and pass #NY4All! @vocal-ny.bsky.social @maketheroadny.bsky.social

AQE parent leader Sherée Gibson says, “we’re looking for our leaders to have our backs! We’re looking for our leaders to fight for us!” Will you stand up for NY working families? @governor.ny.gov @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @leaderasc.bsky.social @investinourny.bsky.social

Hundreds of thousands of NYers will lose their health insurance as soon as January 2026. Governor Hochul and state lawmakers can mitigate the funding cuts by taxing the rich and passing the New York for All Act. SPECIAL SESSION NOW! @jawanza.bsky.social @investinourny.bsky.social

TODAY: We're joining dozens of allies in both NYC (Foley Square) & Albany (West Capitol Park) to demand that state leadership protect our communities from the Federal Budget Scam. We need a special session NOW. Join us at 11am!

Don't forget to join us on Wednesday, August 13th @ 11am in NYC Foley Square & West Capitol Park in Albany to urge Gov. Hochul & Legislative Leadership into action NOW. It's time for a special session to #TaxTheRich and protect our communities. NYC RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/rally...

📣 Governor Hochul: New Yorkers are under attack from Washington, and our communities need you to fight back NOW. Convene a special session. Tax the rich. Pass the NY for All Act. Protect our healthcare system. New Yorkers can't wait any longer. #SpecialSessionNow @investinourny.bsky.social

@governor.ny.gov can't call a special election to protect our Democracy, but she CAN defend our communities from the Federal Budget Scam immediately Let's show the nation what real leadership looks like: convene a special session, #TaxTheRich and enact the #NY4All #DignityNotDetention Acts!

New date, same call to action. Join us on WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13 at 11am as we call on state leadership to convene a special session and protect our communities from the Federal Budget Scam. We’ll be in Foley Square in NYC & East Capitol Park in Albany. See you there! #TaxTheRich #NY4All

Lt. Gov Delgado is 🎯spot on🎯. NYS leaders can support the people they represent (and show the rest of the nation how it's done!) We can reduce the impact of the Federal Budget Scam RIGHT NOW during a special session where lawmakers #TaxTheRich, and pass #NY4All & #DignityNotDetention Acts.

Tomorrow, @nywfp.bsky.social and other @investinourny.bsky.social coalition krgs will be rallying in NYC exactly for this purpose. Join if you can. If you can't, no worries - it'll be just the first of many rallies, and you can soon join me in field for DSA's #TTR campaign. bsky.app/profile/mkra...

Earlier this morning, #InvestInOurNY and 48 other organzations released a statement, urging Gov. Hochul, Speaker Heastie, and Leader Stewart-Cousins to convene a special session and protect New Yorkers from the Federal Budget Scam. New Yorkers can't wait any longer for lawmakers to fight back.

Demands of the rally include keeping ALL New Yorkers safe by passing the #NY4All and #DignityNotDetention Acts! It is shameful that in this time of escalating attacks on immigrants by the federal government, our state lawmakers didn't pass a SINGLE BILL to protect immigrant communities in New York.

The Federal Budget Scam is going to make NYers sicker, hungrier, & less safe. But state leaders can convene a special session to protect us! Join us in NYC on Thurs. at 11am to tell our leaders NOW is the time to step up & stand with the people they represent. RSVP actionnetwork.org/events/rally...

Join us on Thurs. 7/17 @ 7pm for an important screening of @deathandtaxesfilm.bsky.social & an important Q&A with some of our partners in the fight to #TaxTheRich. This documentary shows just how personal politics can be (yes, even taxes). Get your tickets here: bit.ly/dandtfilm

Governor Hochul and State Lawmakers must do what New York's GOP Congressmembers refused to do: stand up for New Yorkers. It's time to #TaxTheRich and #InvestInOurNY

House members are on the precipice of solidifying deadly policy-and that's not hyperbole. Over 1 million NYers will lose their healthcare & SNAP benefits. If you live in NY GOP District, use @citizenactionny.bsky.social's tool to CALL YOUR REP NOW & tell them to VOTE NO. cit.ac/call-congress-no

The U.S. Senate failed the people they represent. But NY GOP House reps have a chance to prioritize their communities over the super-rich. Our full statement 👇

it’s the FIGHT 👏 FOR 👏 OUR 👏 LIVES 👏 We must tell Congress NO on the “Big Beautiful Bill” 😡 NY-11 Deserves Protection, not a Big, Bad Betrayal. We’ve got actions on Tues. July 1 and Wed. July 2nd this week and we’re urging union members to join our fight to protect healthcare!

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

New York’s Congressional Republicans are ready to strip their constituents of their health, nutrition, safety, and more. But we won’t be silent as they try. Call your Congressmember and tell them to put our communities over billionaire tax breaks.

maybe this is a hot take but New Yorkers need Medicaid more than we need Billionaires to escape paying their fair share #TaxTheRich

Leadership "said they do not plan to address the cuts in the state budget...Rivera proposed taxing the rich..." 💪 THAT'S the leadership we need. Thank you, Sen. Rivera, for fighting to #InvestInOurNY instead of making cuts! www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Let’s reverse President Trump’s Corporate Tax Cut; tell @Governor.ny.gov to fight back by passing the Corporate Tax bill in this year’s state budget. W/ @juliasalazar.bsky.social & @emilyassembly.bsky.social

🧵12 vulnerable GOP House members, including NY Reps. Malliotakis, Garbarino, and LaLota, asked the GOP not to cut fund from Medicaid in the final budget reconciliation bill. ...but talk is cheap. And so is Rep. Lawler's silence. 1/ punchbowl.news/article/hous...

The Republican tax plan will give trillions in tax breaks to the wealthiest. And they want to kick your parents out of nursing homes and raise grocery bills for millions to pay for it. Really. #TaxDay2025 #FamiliesOverBillionaires

This Tax Day, federal lawmakers in Congress are working to advance a bill that will make the top 1% wealthiest households in NY even richer by extending the Trump tax law that has already lavished huge tax breaks on the super-wealthy. Read the full report at citizenactionny.org/category/pre...

From Corning to Patchogue, Staten Island to Albany, working-class New Yorkers and state elected officials rallied on #TaxDay against federal lawmakers’ attempts to gut crucial social safety net programs in order to pay for more billionaire tax breaks. More: www.investinourny.org/post/new-yor...
