There is no NYC without unions.

A people united and organized cannot be defeated. Together, we're showing the world what solidarity means.

I was elected as a democratic socialist, and will continue to govern as a democratic socialist. 

100 days in — and we’re just getting started.

Though it is day, the sun cannot be seen in Tehran today because of all the smoke following the US and Israel bombing Tehran's oil refineries. People on the ground describe it as armageddon.

History will not forgive Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Nazanin Boniadi, and all other "leaders" who tricked Iranians into thinking this war would set them free.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Will AI become smarter than humans?

If so, is humanity in danger?

I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading AI experts that question.

Here’s what they had to say:

St. Peter police chief intervenes, prevents federal agents from arresting resident https://t.co/jmZmt61UhD

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Congratulations to Mayor Mamdani and Governor Hochul of New York for moving their state forward toward universal child care.

This is what our kids need. This is what working parents need. And this is what we should have throughout our country.

[Robby Roadsteamer @RobbyRoadsteame]

I'm free!

From the bottom of my heart Thank you for all the love and support... I have traveled this country all year touring and singing my protest songs, and I can say the spirit of counter culture is alive and strong! Don't be afraid. Get out there and make some art and noise before they grab us all! Counter Culture Performance art is the new punk! Get your kid to a protest!!

We’d be in a much stronger position right now if mainstream Democrats had taken a common sense stand for First Amendment principles instead of piling on undergraduate standing up for Palestine. Oops.

Read this World Food Program statement linked below in full.

Today (July 20), WFP says Israeli tanks and snipers opened fire on starving civilians approaching the WFP food convoy near Gaza’s Zikim crossing in the north—despite Israeli assurances that its forces would not be present along aid routes.

According to WFP: The people murdered “were simply trying to access food to feed themselves and their families on the brink of starvation.” Gaza hospitals report 67 killed and over 200 injured. WFP adds “shootings near humanitarian missions, convoys and food distributions must stop immediately. Any violence involving civilians seeking humanitarian aid is completely unacceptable.”

“WFP teams accompanying convoys should not have to risk their own lives in the effort to save others. Without these fundamental conditions in place, we cannot continue providing life-saving support across the Gaza Strip.”

SEIU Massachusetts State Council Denounces Detention of Tufts Graduate Student and SEIU 509 member Rumeysa Ozturk. Read more here: https://t.co/dEIOUKbYvZ

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

Rumeysa was kidnapped in plain sight & sent to Louisiana to be locked in the same detention center Mahmoud Khalil was sent to.

She's a peaceful protestor, grad student, & my constituent who has a right to free speech & due process.

Now she's a political prisoner. Free her now.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Believe it or not, some people’s everyday actions aren’t motivated by some long-term career ambition, but out of a genuine love for people and a desire to do right by them.

Bernie is one of those people. Disagree and loathe him all you want. People trust him for a reason.
