The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

If you want to call your senator or representative, you can do so here. Tell them that anti-LGBTQ+ provisions are a red line for the final negotiated budget bill and for any compromises around it.

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist.

No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men.

The silence is deafening.

What concerns me is not that Democrats will compromise on something like trans athletes--that question is at SCOTUS now and thus beyond their reach anyway. What concerns me is that I hear far more about what rights of mine they're willing to sacrifice and very little about what rights they'll defend

The right-wing hate campaign against trans people is real, from the Trump admin, state level government, to the conservative media apparatus. But please read reports like this very carefully. Trans fearmongering massively boosts social media engagement which encourages this irresponsible framing.

Pro tip: if you want to impress your trans gf, a political assassination that gets the regime frothing at the mouth to eradicate trans people as a class is a horrible way to do it.

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.
