With just days left in the legislative session, the @NYSA_Majority must not leave Albany without reforming the state’s inadequate Temporary Disability Insurance program by passing A84--for the second year in a row. Read our full statement below.

I pretty much break my soft Twitter boycott perennially to issue a reminder to #vote, and it’s #PrimaryDay, #NewYork, so go do the thing.

NYers deserve control over our electronic health data + should not have to fear being criminalized for providing, receiving, or helping someone access critical health care like abortion or gender-affirming care.

NY must pass the NY Health Information Privacy Act. @CarlHeastie

Hey New York! It’s primary day! It may be raining, and the ballot may be boring, but get your vote on. It’s good practice for November!

This is nothing but a smokescreen — even if this school board passes the proposal, it won't affect NYC policy.

Its only impact will be to amplify hate, shaming and alienating trans kids who just want to play sports. Members of this board should reject it.

Nobody should be forced to choose between their paycheck and taking care of themselves when they’re sick or injured.

S2821B/A4053B would secure comprehensive paid medical leave—including job-protection + progressive wage replacement—for NYers. Albany must pass this bill, now.

In an ideal world, parents and kids make health care decisions together.

But not all young people have safe family dynamics. Young people often won't seek medical care if parents must be involved.

It's time to expand young people's access to health care:

All New Yorkers who need time off to address their health should be able to take the time they need to keep themselves healthy without risking economic insecurity.

Modernizing Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) is long overdue, and we're pleased it's in play in the '24 budget.

The NYCLU strongly disagrees with the ACLU’s decision to directly represent and therefore provide direct support to the NRA.

We will not be participating in this case even though it comes out of New York.

But also, new COVID vaccines are here. Be persistent and go get one.

[Allie Bohm @AllieBohm]

It’s as if we’ve learned nothing. Oh wait. @timesunion: Bumpy COVID vaccine rollout raises equity concerns https://t.co/qT4GBRl9Kc

@msisitzky I saw a law school classmate’s post about this and my first thought was that I hope you made it in. Glad you did!

[Allie Bohm @AllieBohm]

@jennifer_e_lee @onekade @_dschwarz @NOzer @snowjake @Matt_Cagle We will miss you! 💜

I'm not opposed to Brandi Carlile covering Indigo Girls' Closer to Fine for the Barbie soundtrack, but why is her version SO SAD?!

[Allie Bohm @AllieBohm]

Do we think CVS sent me this email to try to make me think they don’t have obscene amounts of information about me? (No, my purchasing habits have not changed.)

[Allie Bohm @AllieBohm]

Why yes, I do renew my @ACLU membership every 4th of July as a patriotic activity. (Would that I could keep them from sending me solicitations for the rest of the year, though.) https://t.co/nd7dkeM0gW

It’s fully 10 plagues out there. What’s with the gnats?

Requisite proof that #IVoted (& that I’m tired?) photo. NY, be sure to #vote in the primary today! https://t.co/Z2ud5v5hxs
