We are a diverse group of citizens who live and work in the Southern Tier of New York, and who want to help pave the way to a brighter future for all.

There was a Hands Off! protest in Corning, New York today, Saturday, April 5, 2025. An estimated 500 to 700 people showed up, in spite of gray skies and the threat of heavy rain. We are delighted with our community’s enthusiasm for justice, and resistance against corruption and oligarchy.
Join us on November 15 as we hear from the future.

Seen in NY-23 Congressman Nick Langworthy’s graveyard in Corning, NY.

I’m still in shock that the GOP is so afraid of Trump that they voted for the monster Big Ugly Bill.

We won’t stop ‘til they stop!

A sadistic irony that our independence was stripped away on the 4th of July and nearly half the population in the U.S. doesn’t know it.
Congressman Nick Langworthy (R-NY23) voted on the Big Ugly Bill as we knew he would. With his traitorous Yes vote and after 38 hours with no sleep, I left his graveyard and went home—to fight another day, as they say. On this 4th of July, I consider my oath of long ago.

I Will Not Go Gentle. 🫡

Meanwhile, the planet is in peril and the Republicans Big Ugly Bill will take us in the absolute opposite direction that we need to go in to ensure a liveable planet for Gen Z and the generations to come(?).

3:30 a.m. Veteran Night Watch — Congressman Nick Langworthy’s graveyard of rights.

The GOP Death Bill will slash healthcare, food assistance, & other aid for Veterans. These cuts are as disrespectful as they are cruel.

4:00 a.m. Veteran Night Watch — Congressman Langworthy’s graveyard of rights.

There are over 32,000 Veterans in Congressman Nick Langworthy’s NY-23 district who will be severely impacted by these cuts. In NY, the bill will strip $500 million from Medicaid alone.

1:00 a.m. Night Watch in Nick Langworthy’s graveyard. In the H.R. 1 debate, he speaks one truth: they’ll lock in tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. He says w/a straight face, the bill will provide relief to workers & families & seniors & will protect & strengthen Medicaid.You’re a liar Nick.

Midnight: Report from our comrade, Veteran @colleenboland.bsky.social as she sits the Night Watch in NY-23 Congressman Nick Langworthy’s graveyard of concerns & rights. She won’t go until Nick Votes NO on the Republican Death Bill. Tombstones detail the harms to veterans, kids, the most vulnerable.

Qualification for the civil service should be determined by skill and integrity, not loyalty to a president, party, or administration.

These essay questions exemplify Trump’s efforts to return to a spoils system, undermining the government’s ability to meet the needs of the American people.
Federal Job Applications Will Soon Have Essay Questions About Trump’s Executive Orders And Government Efficiency
A set of new essay questions will be added to federal job applications as part of an executive order from the president that seeks to reform the federal hiring process.

More carnage embedded in the Big Bad Billionaire Bill or as Senator Schumer has come to call it, the Big Ugly Bill.

Trump wants to make massive cuts to WIC’s fruit and vegetable assistance to low-income mothers and young children.

This will take away healthy foods from families. So much for “Make America Healthy Again.”

#WhyIMarch at Jun 6th’s UNITE FOR VETERANS ~ UNITE FOR AMERICANS Rally in DC:

➡️Trump is silencing VA scientists—blocking them from publishing research that exposes how his cuts are hurting Veterans.

This isn’t about policy. It’s about power, control, and hiding the damage he’s doing.

Veterans deployed en masse in 2016 to relieve Standing Rock Sioux 💦 protectors in their fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline. 4000 of us rolled in. See 📸

Jun 6 we mobilize again. With fascism at stake, imagine the caravan about to descend on DC.

We won a court order blocking the Trump administration from slashing over $11 billion in funding for pandemic preparedness, overdose prevention, and community health programs.
 
We're going to continue our lawsuit to protect the health and well-being of millions of Americans.
The Trump administration has illegally clawed back $11 billion in vital state health funding.

These reckless cuts will reverse our progress on the opioid crisis, throw our mental health systems into chaos, and leave hospitals struggling to care for patients.

I'm suing.
