[Hudson Valley Demands New York Health @HVDNYHealth]

Great meeting today with #NYHealthAct champion @senatorERM. Thanks for taking the time to discuss the many failings of our healthcare system and how we can guarantee comprehensive healthcare to all New Yorkers instead. Only 5 weeks left to #PassNYHealth. Let's do this!

[Rockland CAN @RocklandCAN]

So are we! #PassNewYorkHealth

No accountability....

[Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT]

The use of the passive voice here is quite something. It’s someone else’s fault she believed conspiracy theories.

Never before in the history of modern polling have Americans expressed such widespread agreement about racism's pervasiveness. This shift has primed the country for the current groundswell — which has earned the sympathy of most Americans, polling shows. https://t.co/eNsivnbwwU

Within the virtual confines of the only state Legislature in which both legislative leaders are Black, @AndreaSCousins and @CarlHeastie ushered through the nation's first substantial policy response to George Floyd's death. https://t.co/dwE0XoME2f via @annagronewold @politicony

Racist policing, pre-trial jail & solitary confinement killed Layleen Polanco & Kalief Browder. @NYGovCuomo @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie: Dismantle the system, don't expand it! Undo bail rollbacks & #HALTsolitary #FreeOurElders, Repeal #WalkingWhileTrans ban & get #ICEoutofCourts

[Rockland CAN @RocklandCAN]

Thank you Gina Ironside and the rest of the socially-distanced protesters for speaking up for those inhumanely held in this pandemic. #HALTSolitary #FreeOurElders
@AndreaSCousins

[#HALTsolitary — Go to bit.ly/EndSolitaryNY @NYCAIC]

Today we gather at a distance outside Senate Leader @AndreaSCousins’ office in Yonkers, calling on her not to leave people behind in NY’s COVID response. Pass #HALTSolitary & #FreeOurElders to save lives now!

BREAKING -- That NY presidential primary that was canceled? A federal jude just reinstated it, directing the state Board of Elections to undo its decision to call it off.

Let's call the whole thing on! -- @EMPIREREPORTNY

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is all-in for in-person voting in November’s presidential election, but he is offering some “tweaks” he believes will make the general election smoother than the coronavirus-extended primary

Don't change the rules midstream; the NY Presidential primary should proceed on June 23.

[New York Progressive Action Network @NYPANetwork]

Please R/T if you want NY'ers to decide who they send to the DNC this summer, not @TheDemocrats or @NYGovCuomo ! A new provision in the state budget allows party bosses to cancel primary under certain circumstances. This is not the spirit of democracy.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Good to know that in a crisis devastating the financial security of Americans and leading us into a recession Republicans will rally together to

*checks notes*

make sure the super-rich get even more tax cuts.

The commission also tried to raise the number of signatures required by an independent statewide candidate to get on ballot from 15k to 45k! Not even part of their mandate.

[Rockland CAN @RocklandCAN]

#FairElections At today's Public Finance Commission meeting, vote to raise Assembly max contribution from 5k to 6k failed, then re-vote passed after 2 abstained. Public comments not allowed, but private messages from party pols are?

[James Skoufis @JamesSkoufis]

It’s been a privilege working with all the passionate members of @WeAreRockU, @RocklandCAN, and @MomsDemand!

NY can create a democracy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy. We're calling on the Commission to do what's right! We need lower contribution limits & small donor matching. https://t.co/SqvzrIFCyI #FairElections #NoFusionBan @VOCALNewYork @FairElectionsNY @MaketheRoadNY
