🏃‍♂️ I’m running for NYS Assembly in the 149th District to fight and win for working WNY families—because Albany needs to learn that there are NO EXCUSES not to FIX WHAT'S BROKEN in our economy, politics, and government.

Here’s why I KNOW we can do it.

From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re saying “We Ain’t Buying It” and asking Americans to hit pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=ind_wabi

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I was honored to march and stand with Hyatt Workers United today as they fight against illegal union-busting and for a contract that pays them a living wage.

Buffalo is a union town, forever and always ✊

Doug Jemal, union-busting developer of a large portion of downtown Buffalo and the northern suburbs, is attempting to crush a union organizing effort at the Buffalo Hyatt. You won't read about it in our local Lee Enterprises owned newspaper, but Truthout sent a reporter here to cover the story.

I don’t think most people (including academics) realize just how screwed American universities are right now. Yes, the Trump attacks hurt. But the deeper crisis comes from the slow rot of a corporate mindset in university leadership that traded mission for growth. Let’s talk about that.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike
It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

🫡 Godspeed, Jerry. Tell me when and where you land and I'll be there with scoops.
After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @magnumicecreamco.bsky.social #FreeBenAndJerrys

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

This is exactly the woke "cancel culture," anti-free speech that Republicans rail against. They are exactly who they hate.

By the way, the First Amendment allows people to say things that the GOP finds distasteful. . . but with this insane Supreme Court, who knows.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
