Doing my homework for the NYS Dem Convention & I'm focusing my votes on who will help advance the State Dem Party. And let me tell you, it's not Raj Goyle, who voted like the GOP on almost everything INCLUDING ABORTION ACCESS. 😒
Digging into candidates is truly worth your time, I promise.

Nope, we want them gone, period. #AbolishICE
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.
There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

just a reminder that Kathy Hochul doesn’t believe we should abolish ICE and won’t support New York for All.
Hochul discusses Medicaid, immigration, child care and climate
The governor does not appear willing to support the “New York for All” Act.

I can't believe we have to beg the "opposition party" not to fund the lawless security enforcers who are shooting us in the face.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.

![Both votes failed to achieve the required majority.
Question 1: 5-2 vote [Yes: Vice Chair Ayers, Caraballo, Caras, Edwards, and
Groenwegen; No: Austin and Chair James]
Question 2: 2-5 vote [Yes: Chair James and Vice Chair Ayers; No: Austin, Caras,
Caraballo, Edwards, and Groenwegen]
Because neither question received the necessary six votes, the Commission will not issue
a Substantial Basis Investigation Report. This matter is now closed.
This decision should not be read as an approval of the way in which you handled the
complaint. The record shows that you failed to comply with New York State Senate Harassment
Policy requiring the reporting of this incident to designated independent Senate staff. However,
this issue was not part of the allegations against you.
Please be advised that, pursuant to 19 NYCRR Part 941.16, the Commission has
determined that disclosure of this letter is in the public interest and, therefore, the letter will be
disclosed to the public.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zbxhteyfrwyb3jtxjh6bfxxe/bafkreigrz6ckogxbrqfg2a6nbaefpspnf5xyiu5q3thfbw4reniycwjs3i@jpeg)
