🚨 NEW: So proud that I get to share that @sunrisemvmtnyc is endorsing our dear friend @YuhLine Niou for State Senate District 27.

Whether it’s fighting fascism or holding Democrats accountable, @yuhline always puts working families first!

@ChrisStreetProj truly ate with this.

[Peter Sterne @petersterne]

Remember when NYT misquoted Claire as saying she's "a queer in the arts"? Well, Christopher Street Project PAC is now running this ad on Grindr through Election Day.

Egret Strategies, the progressive firm behind the ad, tells me it has a very high (4-6%) clickthrough rate.

@claireforny would truly be one of the best electeds we have on climate in the entire u.s. congress!

her campaign (and who she is!) embody our fight for climate justice.

This year's state budget was a compromise — and deeply compromised by some of the Governor's agenda.

But I was so proud to lead the effort to deliver $100 million in new funding to build out publicly-owned renewable energy right here in New York.

You should be able to Google something the old fashioned way.

It’s time for the climate justice movement to embrace reproductive justice.

See my op-ed out this week in @commondreams:

[Common Dreams @commondreams]

Our movements must understand the intuitive reality that the attacks on reproductive rights, on reproductive access, and on our bodily autonomy are the same attacks as those on our environment, writes @keanuaj. https://t.co/pq7aDxNIxW

[Yuh-Line Niou @yuhline]

Thankful to our @JFREJNYC @sunrisemvmtnyc and @NYWFP friends for coming out for today’s canvass in the West Village! This crew knocked over 1,000 doors and we aren’t done yet! Sign up for a canvass by checking out the link in my bio.

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of Senator @BernieSanders . For decades, Senator Sanders has fought for working people and refused to back down against corporate greed and a political system rigged for the wealthy.

Our campaign is built on those same values. We’re proving that you can run a people-powered movement without taking money from AIPAC, big real estate, or special interests, and still build the coalition to win.

This endorsement means so much because it shows what’s possible when we lead with courage, conviction, and solidarity with working class New Yorkers.

[Emily Gallagher @EmilyAssembly]

The proposed buffer zone policy doesn't make any sense. Some NYC blocks have so many religious institutions + repro facilities that you would effectively ban protest.

In this moment of rising fascism, seems like a bad idea. https://t.co/MLvOMAmUFl

[Claire Valdez @claireforny]

Intro 175-B, up for a vote in @NYCCouncil today, is an attack on labor organizing at educational institutions. My union at Columbia would've struggled to win our strong contract under this law.

NYC is a union town. Act like it.

Dan Goldman: I condemn dark money spending.

Reminder that right-wingers’ only objection to other religions’ fundamentalism is that it threatens their monopoly over women’s bodies

[David Siffert for Assembly @SiffertForNY]

You may be wondering why Anthropic is ok with Claude accurately acknowledging the horrible privacy harms of AI.

The reason is that Claude’s answer to Bernie’s question is more insidious than it sounds (🧵)

Dylan Contreras, the first NYC public school student detained by ICE under Trump, speaks out publicly for the time since he was freed yesterday.

"I still have so many friends inside (detention)...We have to continue fighting for them ."

[Dump Dan Goldman @DumpDanGoldman]

Watch Palestinian American constituent, living in the West Village, confront @RepDanGoldman (NY-10) about his continued denial of Israels’ genocide in Gaza 👀

Experts across the world recognize these atrocities as a genocide. Dan refuses to.

WE refuse to re-elect him #DumpDan

[Team Niou York @teamniouyork]
