Horrific to see Uganda pass one of the world’s cruellest anti-LGBTQ+ laws. People could be executed, and thousands exiled just because of who they love. This law is malicious and inhumane https://t.co/xbcOgvDMeT

[Invest In Our New York Campaign @InvestinOurNY]

NY can raise the public $$ needed to meaningfully address the affordability crisis by raising taxes on NY’s richest.

Both @NYSenateDems & @NYSA_Majority have plans to do so. @GovKathyHochul - #TaxTheRich & invest in #NYSUniversalChildCare #RaiseTheWage #NewDeal4CUNY & more.

"@NYCMayor, it's pure evil for you to urge people to wear masks indoors while at the same time moving my brothers and sisters into congregate shelters where they'll sleep unmasked 3ft apart, 30-50 to a room. It’s against CDC guidelines & against doctors' advice." -@homeless_hero

Interesting to see Eric Adams’ stand on Cuomo now…

[Housing Works @housingworks]

Thank you to @StephenLevin33, who championed this bill, & to our Housing Works community & the broad coalition of activists who pressured the Mayor nonstop to implement it ASAP. 1/2

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

So grateful for everyone who joined us and to @AyannaPressley and @CoriBush.

Tax the hell out of Stephen Ross, tear down his deadly billionaire staircase to nowhere, and take back the $5.6 billion in public subsidies he got for his sick, twisted development scheme

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW LA JUST CRIMINALIZED HOMELESSNESS

[Open Hearts Initiative @openheartsnyc]

After an action Thursday, we successfully negotiated for a meeting between @NYCMayor's #2 and @homeless_hero + NYers currently in hotels, to #StopTheTransfers. Among the questions, Are we supposed to wear masks while we're sleeping? Do our lives matter less than other people?

Every hour & 48 minutes someone dies of an overdose in N.Y.

[Housing Works @housingworks]

An activist after our own hearts. Thank you @CoriBush.

[Charles King @king95055085]

Now we need the mayor to stop the hotel transfers and homeless sweeps. I’m happy to block Broadway again and even more if that is what it takes!

[Housing Works @housingworks]

@ashleygandy5 @homeless_hero That's Cesar Flores

Happy Friday!

RT if you think today would be a great day for @POTUS to cancel at least $50,000 of student loan debt per borrower. He can and must.

[Charles King @king95055085]

@DrBryanLeyva Just say no???

[Jennifer Hadlock @jenorganizer]

@NYCMayor @rubendiazjr Glad u r highlighting the BX but there are thousands of NYers u r transferring to deadly covid congregate shelter spaces when they could just stay in the hotels. #StopTheTransfers

This is so real and yes we are panicked.

[collective survival @thebl0w]

I guess I have to keep writing about how mindbogglingly corrupt Dept of Homeless Services is cuz people keep telling me what they’re going thru. My trans friend told shelter staff that male residents are threatening to sexually assault her. Today a staff member trashed her room.

[Marni Halasa @Marni4Change]

MAYOR LIES PEOPLE DIE ! That’s what New Yorkers are saying about you @NYCMayor in front of City Hall. #StopTheTransfers
