Glad the rightwing court including two Trump justices upheld birthright citizenship but the fact that there are four justices who would happily let it be overridden tells you everything about the importance of Dems rebalancing this extremist Court going forward.
😥 Triste y tierno al mismo tiempo
Crías de chimpancé, cuyos padres fueron asesinados por cazadores furtivos, se encuentran con otras crías rescatadas del cautiverio.
Deadmau5 donates $30,000 to help save 27 rescued cats
The Canadian DJ covered the full medical costs for 27 cats and kittens rescued from a single household in Ontario. He later adopted one of the rescued cats himself and encouraged others to give the remaining cats a home
Karl: Republicans are going to make you the poster child for the Democratic Party.
Mamdani: Let them. We don’t have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last November, and over the course of these last six months, what we’ve delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.
We’ve delivered free child care for two-year-olds for the first time in New York City history. We’ve delivered tens of millions of dollars back to tenants who were taken advantage of by bad landlords. We’ve delivered 165,000 potholes being paved. And we’ve done all of these things while also delivering the lowest recorded crime in our city’s history.
That’s what it looks like to have democratic socialism. And what you’re seeing is that New Yorkers experienced this for six months and made the decision that they wanted to see more of it on the national stage as well.
Today marks 11 years since Obergefell v. Hodges affirmed a simple, profound truth: everyone has the right to marry the person they love.
It's a day to celebrate the generations of LGBTQ+ people and organizers who fought to make that promise a reality.
When so many protections are being challenged, we should remember what it looks like when the Supreme Court expands freedoms instead of revoking them.
Love is always worth defending. Happy Pride.
NEW: Billionaire Leon Black is just one of as many as 25 men suspected of paying millions of dollars in secret legal settlements involving young women, some of whom were victims of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. https://t.co/QPQ7mGFuny
Mamdani announces $15M for trans healthcare, includes launching a call/text resource support line. Notes city Law Dept filed an amicus brief against subpoenas for medical records.
Hospitals suspended care to trans youth following a Trump EO. This seems to try working around that
Thank you, Secretary Kennedy, for releasing the $700 million in behavioral health funding my father’s administration authorized.
But it should not have taken this long. The delay cost lives.
Putting people living on the streets first is right. They are the easiest to see and the easiest to ignore.
I have no problem with the mission.
I have a problem with one sentence in the guidance: STREETS grants cannot pay for harm reduction.
Harm reduction is not an ideology. It is a clean syringe, naloxone in a backpack, fentanyl test strips in a pocket. A place where someone can be kept breathing instead of being found dead.
I personally know people whose lives were saved by harm reduction. I know you do too. I know what they have done with those lives since. Not one of them would be in recovery today if they didn’t have access to harm reduction. The would be dead.
Anyone serious about recovery knows harm reduction saves lives. Ask people in the rooms. Ask the families keeping naloxone in the kitchen drawer.
If you want the Great American Recovery to mean something, fund what keeps people on this side of the grave. We do recover, but only if we make it out alive.
Republicans decrying communist involvement in the Democrat party just looked the other way when this administration nationalized ownership of these private companies:
• Intel 10%
• MP Materials 15%
• Lithium Americas 5%
• Trilogy Metals 10%
• U.S. Steel “golden share”
Four years ago, the Supreme Court stripped away a fundamental Constitutional right and put abortion care out of reach for millions of Americans.
Today, we're sending a different message. With New York State, we are investing $495,000 to expand the NYC Abortion Access Hub, connecting more people to abortion care, medication, transportation, lodging and support services, no matter where they live.
Abortion is health care. Health care is a human right. We're protecting that right in New York City.

Congratulations to the graduates of East River Academy. No matter where your journey began, this milestone belongs to you. You earned it, and I'm cheering you on.
Two Utah commissioners lost their jobs over their votes to approve the controversial Kevin O'Leary data center.
The president of the Utah State Senate, who had pushed for the huge data center next to the Great Salt Lake, was also defeated in his primary Tuesday night.
This especially shocking result saw J. Stuart Adams, one of the longest-serving and most powerful politicians in Utah, lose a primary he had easily won multiple times before.
