Mamdani Wins Backing of Major Health Care Union That Had Endorsed Cuomo

The members of @1199seiu.org are heroes—saving lives, delivering babies, caring for all us in our time of need. I will stand with them as Mayor.

So grateful to earn this endorsement from the largest healthcare union in the country.

BERNIE: “The Republican bill is a gift to the billionaire class while causing massive pain to working families… a reflection of a corrupt campaign finance system. Billionaires invest hundreds of millions in elections, and in this bill it is paying off.” 🇺🇸

A Dem in Congress pointed a reporter to the Cass Report.

IBEW International President Kenneth W. Cooper issued the following statement on Senate Republicans’ draft reconciliation bill released Sunday night: “This budget reconciliation bill is a direct attack on working families, shoveling tax breaks to the rich while turning its back on the people who power this country. “The IBEW strongly opposes any proposal that guts infrastructure investment, especially plans like this one that sacrifice existing economic development while providing no clear benefit to working Americans. At a time when we should be investing in energy independence at home, this bill forces our economy to rely on foreign adversaries while dramatically increasing energy bills for every household and draining local communities of the jobs they rely on. “Make no mistake, this bill will cost hundreds of thousands of good-paying construction jobs, billions of work hours, and hundreds of billions in lost wages and economic benefits to America’s middle class. “IBEW members and every average American will pay the price as congressional Republicans abandon critical investments in American infrastructure and the energy independence they have been tripping over themselves to take credit for the last few years. “That so many of these investments are in the rural areas and small towns left behind for generations is even more troubling. “America’s working families deserve more.

The IBEW thinks the One Big Horrible Bill sucks too.

“Make no mistake, this bill will cost hundreds of thousands of good-paying construction jobs, billions of work hours, and hundreds of billions in lost wages and economic benefits to America’s middle class."

WATCH: The Trump administration is now bragging about their diabolical “Alligator Alcatraz” plan, which will steer $450 million yearly into the pockets of their private prison pals 👇🏽

(CATO: 65% of the people grabbed by ICE have no convictions, 93% no violent convictions)

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

The LA Press Club, a nonprofit organization, & Status Coup, an investigative newsroom, sue the LAPD arguing they violated the First & Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, as well as state law through their treatment of journalists covering the region’s anti-ICE protests. Huffington Post

They tried to push him down the stairs twice AS WE WERE LEAVING. Don't let the media fool you

The phrase "LinkedIn" is a bigger red flag than having an avatar that's literally a butt

“They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

White House: we want reciprocal tariffs

Vietnam: fine, let’s do zero percent

White House: fuck you

Absolute clown car administration

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

This administration will go to any length to ensure the American public has zero transparency. Now, senior Justice Department officials are invoking executive privilege to block a dismissed lawyer from testifying before Congress — all in an effort to intimidate whistleblowers and suppress the truth.

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless.

This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

I’m just sayin’. St Augustine FL is a town of 14,000. In a red county. And we’re doing this. #handsoff #50501 #April5 AND we have some spicy signs!

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

Hai, we are a #folkpunk band out of Central, NY, part of a collective called chapel of dog that hosts a #diyfest that exists to help marginalized non-YT musicians have a platform &play along side bands they never get the chance to play with.
We are #brown.
We are queer.
We are #trans.
We are angry.

That’s right. 🇺🇦

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.
