In the spring I joked that the real winner of the Mayor's race was @ny4childcare.bsky.social thanks to their organizing for universal childcare. Today's announcement is the culmination of that work.
The goal of the multiyear plan, which Ms. Hochul is expected to introduce alongside the mayor in an appearance Thursday morning and will be a part of her State of the State address on Jan. 13, would be to offer universal access to children statewide, her office said.

Canadians are being warned to treat any medical information we see from the US as misinformation and although this is obvious to me, maybe some moots should know this too

The US is far down this authoritarian path. The entire Trump regime must be impeached and held accountable for the massive decay of basic rights.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Trump's strategy to invade resource rich countries & amass unlimited supplies of resources for his corporate buddies. Essentially, replay the early 1900's when democracy was more fiction than fact in the US for the average person. Democracy doesn't matter in this regime.
