I've said it before, and I will say it again.
We need courageous leaders that put working families at the center of all they do.
8 democrats caving to empty promises is an indefensible leadership failure
For the sake of our country, Schumer needs to resign.

About to go into my annual @cuny.edu ethics refresher class. Which feels sort of weird with Mayor Adams still in office, especially since the rules were tightened under his “snake and liar” friend Cuomo.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

7 million people took to the streets across the nation to protest in defense of our democracy.
This country belongs to the people. We will fight for it with everything we've got.

Vaccines are safe and effective.
Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.
When you want information, ask your doctor.
It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”
Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target
