"Lawler wants to put millionaires over Medicaid — and slap the 7.7 million New Yorkers (nearly 40% of the entire state) who rely on Medicaid to get the care they need square in the face."

Of course we will; it's a sure bet at least one of them will say something reprehensible about this...

[ProgressiveAccount-Christopher Hennelly @AcctProgressive]

Are we going to hear anything from the @RochesterChambr @BobDuffyROC @ROCLocustClub @Sheriff_Baxter regarding President Trump' pardoning all the attackers on America January 6th and the Law Enforcement who protected the capital? FYI @news10 @13WHAM @News_8 @DandC @WXXINews

Prisons in NYS and the US are frequently violent, corrupt hellholes bereft of real transparency or accountability and we need to do everything in our power to ensure travesties like the beating death of Robert Brooks never happen again

Congratulations to Sarah and her team on her new leadership position in state assembly!

[Sarah Clark @sarahhartclark]

I am honored and excited to take on this new leadership position as Chair of our Majority Conference. I look forward to working with my colleagues as we roll ups our sleeves and get to work this legislative session. Thank you Speaker @CarlHeastie for this opportunity to lead.

[Rochester Working Families Party @WFP_ROC]

We're proud to have many of the people who made this happen as chapter members. Without the work of activists like Lisle Coleman, Oscar Brewer, Ryan Acuff and many others our friends on city council would have been outvoted and the full version of Good Cause wouldn't have passed

[Rochester Working Families Party @WFP_ROC]

Back from a brief holiday hiatus to deliver to you the BREAKING NEWS that shortly ago, Mayor Evans signed the Good Cause eviction protections into law. Rochester tenants now have, for the first time, basic protections against wrongful eviction and extortionate rent increases!!!

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Remember: Baristas are calling on YOU to honor our picket lines! Do NOT buy from ANY Starbucks through the 24th!

[Rochester Working Families Party @WFP_ROC]

Hey gang; come on down this Sat evening and hang out with the Rochester chapter of the NY WFP! The event is from 6-7 and is public/open to anyone who wants to learn more about us, meet our newly elected leaders etc. just click on the link and RSVP https://t.co/JjcyrP2vMH

[Rochester Working Families Party @WFP_ROC]

Good thing our @WorkingFamilies -backed council members were there to make sure the strongest version of Good Cause passed over the objections of establishment politicians like Patterson and Harris

[Gino Fanelli @GinoFanelli]

In voting no, councilmember Michael Patterson said good cause would put too much power in the courts, and likened to other policies he sees as faulty, including bail reform and raise the age. LaShay Harris referred to the bill as "the path to socialism"

[Jasmine Gripper @Jasgripper]

.@NYWFP champions in action, doing the people's work!!

[Rochester Working Families Party @WFP_ROC]

This is outrageous

[Gino Fanelli @GinoFanelli]

When Robert O'Shaughnessy retired in May, he had racked up over $100,000 in overtime pay. Coupled with two other top-paid-officer years, his pension outweighs his salary by more than $50,000.

This story explores the continued cost of RPD overtime.

@AP Mm
Mm

[Rochester Working Families Party @WFP_ROC]

If you're going to kick Good Cause back for another MONTH and allow countless additional people who would've had protections get evicted (in Rochester, in DECEMBER) you better have a good reason. Council Pres. @MMelendez86 does not have anything approaching a good enough reason

Even in the best of circumstances home care workers have one of the hardest jobs there is, and manageable caseloads are essential. Support Rochester's home care workers and the @1199SEIU as they fight for a fair contract!

[Rochester Working Families Party @WFP_ROC]

For those who've forgotten, @PamBondi is the woman who shut down Florida's investigations into Trump's fraudulent business activities after he sent $25,000 her way

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: President-elect Donald Trump says he will nominate former Florida AG Pam Bondi to be the U.S. attorney general after his first pick, Matt Gaetz, withdrew. https://t.co/P9kPaIslqw

[Rochester Working Families Party @WFP_ROC]

We're sharing this flyer direct from our allies at @RocTenantUnion to ask anyone free on November 26th at 5pm to come to Rochester City Hall, for a rally they're putting on supporting Good Cause eviction protections! Either way, please repost this on any feeds you have as well!

[Rochester Working Families Party @WFP_ROC]

Perhaps @GovKathyHochul IS going to try to block Trump's deportations, and her plan is just secret. Because she realized, what's the point in having so much power if you can't use it for good?
(Or maybe she immediately called Trump to grovel and preemptively capitulate instead)

[Rachel Barnhart @rachbarnhart]

“local authorities are mostly free to deal with immigration issues as they see fit, including by helping feds facilitate deportations.”
