If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.
The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies.

This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

The TV ad for the Google Pixel 10 says 'If your friend asks you a question, and the answer is on your phone, shouldn't your phone be able to answer them?'

NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

if you have a library card (which all of you should have), you most likely have free (!!!) access to Kanopy aka an underrated, ad free streaming service with a ton of movies + short films

FREE!!! through the library!!! your smart tv most likely as an app for it- mine does!

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

If you’re a democratic lawmaker who won’t do the right thing in Congress because of an outside threat, this is going to sound callous but you’re in the wrong job. This kind of stuff is your job. It’s the whole ballgame. “I’m afraid” is not a viable excuse.

...what is called "the spirit of an age" is something to which one cannot return... although one would like to change today's world back to the spirit of 100 years or more ago, it cannot be done. Thus it is important to make the best out of every generation.
