No child should go hungry simply because their parents are immigrants. As mayor, I’ll join @newyorkstateag.bsky.social in using every lever of government for the families who fear if they can afford tomorrow’s meals.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.

Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

This is what happens when an administration treats the military like its own private police force:
Lines blur.
Oversight collapses.
Human life becomes expendable.

International law calls this what it is: extrajudicial killing.
Human rights law forbids lethal force unless someone is an immediate threat.
People floating in the ocean are not.

But the worst part?
According to multiple officials, the order was:
“Kill them all.”
After the first blast, two survivors clinging to the wreckage were targeted again.

A suspected drug-running boat off Trinidad was destroyed by a U.S. missile. That alone raises legal questions — because we are NOT at war with anyone there.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

ICE raids near schools = empty desks & traumatized children. More than 20% of students stayed home in Charlotte after deportation operations. Our kids deserve safety, not fear. #ProtectOurStudents #ImmigrantRights #SchoolsNotRaids
In cities targeted by ICE, empty desks and school disruptions follow
One in five students in Charlotte missed school after a recent ICE crackdown began. It’s the latest city where schools felt the impact of Trump’s deportation effort.

Haters can argue how this meme is "wrong"

Most people don't go through life enjoying:
-damaging & causing others pain
-others' distress/suffering/hardships/losses
-mistreating people for amusement
-targeting people for being different
-expressing cruelty, violence & abuse
-terrorizing diversity
etc
Let's stop pretending that we have haters. We have humans who hate themselves and hate their lives and then project that onto others. The hate is their own; let it stay right there with them.
