Thank you, @LtGovDelgado!

[David Lombardo @poozer87]

If he was governor right now, @LtGovDelgado tells the @CapPressRoom he would sign #MedicalAidInDying legislation.

"I think there's enough guardrails, you know, to preserve and maintain the sanctity and dignity of life," says @DelgadoforNY.

@JustinBrannan Your policies are pretty good, but this is the real reason you've locked in my vote.🖤

@hjluks Timely. Was just given a boot for a plantar plate and ligament tear! Found it too unwieldy and it's healing pretty well with some tape and wearing loose-fitting shoes.

Powerful commentary on why the @NYSenate must pass #MedicalAidInDying from those with first-hand experience of its necessity.

[Compassion & Choices @CompAndChoices]

We’ve been at the bedside. We’ve seen the pain. We’ve heard the desperate pleas.”

@KarinesReyes87 & @pharaforny—both nurses & lawmakers—call on the NY Senate to pass #MedicalAidinDying, saying: “It’s time.”

Remembering Alasdair MacIntyre 1929-2025 - shared on the Vlad Vexler Philosophy channel on YT.

[Gregory Lopez 🔍 @GLopezPharmD]

RIP. After Virtue is a monumental work, but I haven't had the opportunity to explore his later thought.

[Gregory B. Sadler - That Philosophy Guy @philosopher70]

Alasdair MacIntyre died yesterday. I first encountered his work in grad school, then got to know him through a summer faculty fellowship and keeping in touch afterwards. He was the real deal. Here's a playlist of videos I've produced on some of his works

@KarinesReyes87 @NYSenDems @AndreaSCousins Full video of the 4-29-25 session is here: https://t.co/lzX3OP23DB

[Gregory Lopez 🔍 @GLopezPharmD]

Assemblymember & inpatient oncology nurse @KarinesReyes87 made a powerful case for #MedicalAidInDying by laying out the extent of suffering some terminally ill people endure during the 4/29 floor debate.

S138 mitigates this.

@NYSenDems & @AndreaSCousins: when will you act?

[Gregory Lopez 🔍 @GLopezPharmD]

@philosopher70 Registered. Looking forward to digging into the materials at a later date!

@AmyPaulin It was an honor to see you on the floor for the full 4+ hours of debate & voting. Thank you!

[Gregory Lopez 🔍 @GLopezPharmD]

@SalAlbaneseNYC You'd know better than me, but is it a litmus test, or kissing the right behinds at the right time? To my moderately uninformed eyes, it looks more like the latter than the former.

[Gregory Lopez 🔍 @GLopezPharmD]

@SalAlbaneseNYC I learned that the hard way by trying to get #MedicalAidInDying passed. We do have quite a few decent folks in NY politics despite the incentives for cronyism + ring-kissing, though.

Most I've met are smart; they just don't always use those smarts for the sake of public service.

[Gregory Lopez 🔍 @GLopezPharmD]

Thanks for following your hearts and the facts!

Now it's time for @AndreaSCousins & the @NYSenDems to follow your lead.

[NY Assembly Majority @NYSA_Majority]

Yesterday, the Assembly passed the Medical Aid in Dying Act, which allows terminally ill patients to request medication to peacefully end their suffering (A.136). New Yorkers facing unbearable pain deserve compassion, care, and the right to choose a dignified death.

@tonysimone @AmyPaulin @bradhoylman Thank you! 🙏🏼
