Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace after sexually harassing women, covering up nursing home COVID deaths, and misusing taxpayer money for personal gain.
No Democrats who believe in accountability, transparency, and respect for women should support his run for mayor.
“Our platform is resonating because people see themselves in it. Politics too often requires translation. It sounds like a five-step process where you struggle to understand how it’s relevant to your life. People deserve to understand how your policies impact them.”
“We doubled down by adding hundreds of new police officers later this month and getting our officers out on patrol” - the needs of impacted communities continue to be left out of conversations of public safety. We should double down on resources for NYers not more cops.
The team at @MutualaidLA has launched a comprehensive spreadsheet tracking all of the shelters/food kitchens/evac sites/resources for anyone impacted by the LA fires

In the midst of all this chaos, the city of LA is still conducting sweeps against our unhoused neighbors.
Ppl are asking us for a replacement tent and a dog leash while it's literally raining ash bcs the city took their only shelter away during this inferno.
I am so disgusted.
United Farm Workers union members are being rounded up by ICE. You can donate to UFW here, they need all the help they can get: https://t.co/JafmPimXGO
There are more than 4,000 supportive housing beds sitting empty in NYC. We have the resources to end homelessness for so many, but we let these beds sit vacant and criminalize the homeless instead. Let’s choose what’s right, instead of easy.

Reminder that congestion pricing is a net good because CONGESTION is bad. Reducing the crazy over-congestion in lower Manhattan serves to improve air quality and reduce car accidents (pedestrian injuries and deaths). Fewer dead and sick kids, for example, is good!
They’re not dying from the cold. They’re dying because Israel refuses them fuel. They’re dying because Israel reduced their homes to rubble. They’re dying because they’re malnourished. They’re dying because they live in tattered rain soaked tents. They’re dying because of Israel.
A bit of reporting from the UK on Covid, vocal damage, and theater performers. Test and rest babes. The industry will throw you away. We have to protect each other, bc only we will. https://t.co/kzG0xwlqUs
In October, @Chippendales dancers went public with their intention to unionize with @ActorsEquity. Now, their employer is retaliating. Show your support for the workers here! https://t.co/XNsLi0bntQ
Inevitably on a long drive I’ll remember that @ANDREWrBUTLER’s wonderful show Rags Parkland exists and then I’ll spend the next several hours either singing along/nearly panic attack level sobbing
Can’t be safe but IS A GREAT TIME - who doesn’t love future folk protest music??
Fishkill is not a progressive place. It’s a purple, rural town where the town board voted for good cause - a stronger version than NYCs at that. Dems need to wake up
NYers, take note that our US Senators Schumer and Gillibrand continue to support illegal and unconscionable arms sales to Israel. They are participating in genocide. When they “show up” for some other cause, pls remember the hollowness of their souls and do not be fooled.
Last night, 19 Senators voted to end illegal arms sales to Israel.
We stood up to AIPAC, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Biden administration.
We must continue going forward to end illegal arms sales and hold Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes.
