How @DrivingGuild pulled off the largest gig worker protest yet: "The plan to snarl traffic and protest outside Gracie Mansion was hatched moments after Uber revealed Friday afternoon it would mimic Lyft’s policy of deactivating drivers..." #UnionStrong https://t.co/3zGDARHS68
The fact that almost every former Confederate state is moving to completely eliminate Black representatives immediately after the SCOTUS decision is more than enough proof that voting rights still need protection, and MAGA racism is far from gone in this United States.
🚨 VICTORY FOR NEW YORK DRIVERS 🚨
After strong opposition from rideshare drivers, labor & community advocates, Governor Hochul is pulling the driverless car proposal from the budget — protecting public safety & our livelihoods.
This is what happens when drivers stand together.✊
NYC rideshare drivers must get bathroom breaks!
Check out today’s Daily News, where we call on City Council to right this wrong & pass our bill with CM @JustinBrannan before the end of the year.

Democrats are fighting to preserve an Obamacare tax credit. Without it, a 55-year-old couple making $85K would see their premiums more than triple to $24,535.
“Work breaks, especially restroom and meal breaks, are the most fundamental worker rights. But with nowhere to park, tens of thousands of NYC drivers are still struggling in 2025. City leaders need to act.” – Brendan Sexton, IDG President
For-hire vehicle drivers push the @NYCCouncil for relief through proposed law that would allow them to park in commercial spaces when nature calls.
“I don’t have another option but to grab my cooler inside my car and open it up."
NEW in @THECITYNY https://t.co/Ec47aqMY7J
Over 80,000 NYC drivers and only 31 FHV parking zones in New York City. Today, drivers are calling on the City Council to pass Intro #1000 and give rideshare workers access to commercial parking spots to get access to restrooms, food, and the dignity they deserve.
This is Harper Moyski. The 10-year-old girl killed at Annunciation Church. Her family says in a statement that it’s important Harper’s memory fuels action. “Change is possible, & it is necessary— so that Harper’s story does not become yet another in a long line of tragedies.” 💔
The families of the two children killed in the mass shooting at Annunciation Church identified the children as 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski.
We now know that the 23 year-old Minneapolis shooter had multiple guns that were recently purchased -- including a homemade AR-15 with multiple 30 round (Magpul) magazines and one 60 round (ATI Schmeisser) magazine. That means the shooter could fire dozens and dozens of rounds before needing to reload.
There is no reason AR-15s or high capacity magazines should be allowed on the streets… no reason other than our idolatry of guns.
This country has been more committed to protecting guns than children.
It is time to change that.
Let’s demand a ban on assault weapons. NOW.
Ten year old student who witnessed shooting: "I heard [shots] again. I just ran under the pew and then I covered my head. My friend Victor saved me though, because he laid on top of me. But he got hit... He's really brave, and I hope he's good in the hospital."
@JordanScottish Oh no- I was just adding to the list since you clearly don’t care that guns are the number one killer of American kids.
Let me be clear,
#1 killer of US kid: guns
#1 killer of US young adults: fentanyl —fueled by guns bc the US is arming the cartels & domestic criminals.
My kids were at school mass this morning too. The first mass of the school year. Ban assault weapons now.
Every country has mental illness, but the U.S. is the only one with a gun violence problem. Where the #1 killer of kids is guns. #itstheguns
This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination.
This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is absolutely 100% correct.
We cannot just accept that mass shootings are a way of our life.
The only way to end the madness is to ban assault weapons. #ItsTheGuns
@JordanScottish The U.S. is arming the cartels that traffic fentanyl - the #1 killer of our young adults, arming the domestic criminals who kill our law enforcement officers, arming school shooters — all by continuing to allow assault weapons to be manufactured & sold to civilians. #itstheguns
