Grocery prices are rising faster than wages, so we’re launching 5 municipal grocery stores with lower prices.

But people can't benefit from resources they don't know about. We need expert branding for New York's city-owned grocery stores to properly serve New Yorkers.

Help spread the word: We're accepting design proposals at https://t.co/I2dfbUIpq5 until June 30, 2026 at 4:30 PM ET.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Franco-Iranian artist, filmmaker, and author of the internationally celebrated graphic novel Persepolis who died at the age of 56.

Marjane Satrapi was a fearless voice for feminism, human rights, and freedom. Through her work and public engagement, she consistently advocated for women’s rights, standing in solidarity with the people of Iran and amplifying the message of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement on the global stage.

According to a statement from her family, Marjane Satrapi “died of sadness” a little more than a year after the passing of her husband, Mattias Ripa, a producer, actor, and screenwriter, who died on April 8, 2025.

Marjane Satrapi leaves behind a powerful cultural, artistic, and moral legacy. Her courage will continue to resonate far beyond her lifetime.

The New York Senate just passed the Maternal Health, Dignity and Consent Act! This would ban providers from drug testing pregnant New Yorkers without their consent.

Even though white women have similar rates of substance abuse, it's Black women that are tested more often.

BREAKING: Three counties in Texas have declared local state of disaster declarations on the New World Screwworm: Kinney, Jim Webb and Uvalde

Three others are pending: Webb, La Salle and Val Verde

The reasoning behind these declarations is because they feel they are not getting the federal nor state support needed to combat this crisis

Its long past due for the President to declare a National Emergency Declaration so local officials on the front lines are getting the support they need

Big Tech poured over $1.4 trillion into AI only to see a $613 billion return on investment.

* Amazon spent $313 billion and lost $291 billion
* Google parent company Alphabet spent $287 billion and lost $262 billion
* Microsoft spent $266 billion and lost $235 billion
* Meta spent $230 billion and lost $227 billion

And all these companies chosen to axe workers, blaming AI for the mass firings.
