One can say they have never seen a blue sky and be telling the truth. But when that one who has monochromic vision insists there is no such thing as a blue sky, the majority must remind them of their monochromatic condition. Because, even if they see gray sky only, the sky is in fact blue. Truth is.

Every winter, families across NY23 hold their breath when the lights flicker. Rural communities feel it the most. Power lines that fail too often. Roads that freeze faster than they can be cleared. Broadband that goes dark when people need information most.

Thirty-year-olds are not “delaying adulthood.” They are doing everything right in an economy where the basics were pushed out of reach. Housing. Healthcare. Childcare. Stability.

We fix this by rebuilding the Common Good so everyone can move forward with dignity and fairness.

Trust is built through courage and moral conviction. Western New York has every right to expect both.

I will always stand with survivors and keep pushing for transparency. That is the standard we all deserve.

I feel strongly that the victims/survivors deserve justice. Release the files. #NY23 we need to pay attention to how our representative, Mr. Langworthy, votes. If you’re like me you believe this is not a partisan issue. It’s moral. #STNY
As Congress prepares to vote, the path is clear. Stand with survivors. Choose truth and justice.

Share this so more people understand what is at stake and why Congress must release the files.

Nick Langworthy earned a 10% rating from the AFL-CIO. One of the worst in Congress. That score reflects a voting record that protects corporations and party insiders, not working families.

Nick Langworthy voted for the Limit, Save, Grow Act. That vote was not about policy. It was about philosophy. He chose cuts to healthcare, education, veterans’ services, and family support programs while protecting tax breaks for the wealthy.

#STNY is NOT the city. We need to stand together and refuse the policies of the 1%! Their ideas do not work here in Western New York!

Rebuilding the Common Good Economy

Getting ready for the day, thinking about what really defines success in WNY.

Because if Wall Street’s thriving but working families can’t keep up with rent, groceries, or gas, that’s not the Common Good.

Mid-terms are going to be hugely important. Get to know your candidates early. #NY23 has hope in #AaronGiesNY23
Public Service Starts with Showing Up.
If you or I missed 4 percent of our workdays, we’d have to answer for it.

Nick Langworthy has missed 62 out of 1,523 roll call votes in Congress - that’s 4.1%, twice the average for Congress. He refuses to hold in-person town halls. He avoids tough questions.

We've seen it before. About 250 years ago.
He has…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people…

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

From the book The Velveteen Rabbit:

“He said, ‘You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.”

I am so tired of the “Christians” fighting moral crusades yet behave so aggressively, falsely accusing constituents, and their hateful speech! #NancyMace is a true piece of shit in my opinion. How do these hateful people who represent “Christianity” keep getting elected. The church of Christ is dead
