You want to help endo sufferers RIGHT NOW? Take insurance. You want us to be able to see amazing docs like you who support us and get it? Take fucking insurance. We live with this shit every minute of every day. The least you can do is hire someone to navigate the health insurance industry.

My insta feed is filled with endometriosis awareness month stuff (yes, I have endo), and I can’t fucking stand how many ob/gyns, physical therapists, naturalists, surgeons, etc. are all like “we need to to support patients more!” and not a single one takes fucking health insurance.

Remember when Hochul was on the Time100 Climate 2025 list as a leader “working to help unlock the necessary funding and resources needed for successful and equitable climate action”?

Lying through her fucking teeth…

New York City needs and deserves elected leaders who are willing to take on the entrenched corruption that poisons our policies and crushes working-class families. I know Lindsey will be that leader. She's never backed down from confronting abuses of power, no matter who's responsible. When Lindsey is in office, New York City won't just be a better place—it will be the kind of city that works for all of us, not just the powerful few.

I need to spend more time over here, so I’ll start a comeback by saying this:

Tonight, Alex Karaban becomes UConn men’s basketball’s all-time leader in games started. A win makes him the all-time wins leader.

His Senior Day is Feb. 28. He should be inducted into the Huskies of Honor that day.

Look, UConn shouldn’t have lost that game, and I’m extremely cranky about it.

But St. Johns fans chanting “UConn suck!” while filing out of MSG?

….no dudes. We don’t suck. Like at all.

Doing my homework for the NYS Dem Convention & I'm focusing my votes on who will help advance the State Dem Party. And let me tell you, it's not Raj Goyle, who voted like the GOP on almost everything INCLUDING ABORTION ACCESS. 😒

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

Hochul discusses Medicaid, immigration, child care and climate The governor does not appear willing to support the “New York for All” Act.

just a reminder that Kathy Hochul doesn’t believe we should abolish ICE and won’t support New York for All.

“Here’s the ‘actual story,’ Governor Hochul: if we don’t tax the superwealthy, people will die.

“Since the federal funding attacks passed in July, it’s not just childcare that’s been an impossible bill for millions of New Yorkers to pay. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers cannot afford to see a doctor or pay for lifesaving prescriptions. Millions of New Yorkers will starve because their SNAP benefits were cut. Let’s not forget, childcare workers are still some of the lowest-paid workers in New York, and Governor Hochul has yet to explain how she plans to pay for their living wages – let alone full universal childcare in three years.

“Meanwhile, since 2017, New York’s millionaires and billionaires have increased their wealth by over 75 percent. Making them pay their actual fair share is not about “taxing the wealthy for the sake of raising taxes.” It’s so we can ensure every New Yorker stays healthy, puts food on the table, and sends their kids to childcare while still making ends meet. Because the millionaires and billionaires certainly are.

The Invest in Our New York Campaign will fight for working-class families who call — and want to call — New York home, even if Governor Hochul doesn’t care if they live or die.”

Earlier today, @governor.ny.gov spoke with Dan Mannarino at @pix11.bsky.social, where she said “taxing the rich is 'off the table' because she won’t 'tax the wealthy for the sake of raising taxes.’

But here's the truth: if we don't #taxtherich, people will die.

Laying low in Lucca, b/c of a bad cold, watching tennis & they stopped the match for 10 mins. Had no idea why so I immediately said “let me see if @aprilglick.bsky.social posted anything, she’ll know”

(My partner reminded me the match was probably last night)

Earlier today, the U.S. Senate Republicans voted against a critical extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies, cementing nauseating healthcare cost increases for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. In response to this immoral decision, Invest in Our New York’s Campaign Manager Brahvan Ranga released the following statement:

"Washington Republicans just voted against the only healthcare bill that provides life-saving relief for families on January 1. Now, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are about to see their insurance costs more than double; a family of four will pay over $17,000 more, making coverage unaffordable and forcing impossible choices between medicine, rent, and putting food on the table.

“Governor Hochul and state lawmakers have a moral obligation to immediately act and protect New Yorkers from this manufactured crisis. The solution is popular and simple: make the wealthiest—those already benefiting from a $12 billion federal tax windfall—pay their fair share so everyone can afford to stay healthy, see their doctor, and purchase their prescriptions. Anything less is a dereliction of duty—allowing Washington Republicans' cruelty to define New York's future when Albany has the power to stop it."

I got a scam call today: a woman with "DHS" said they intercepted a package for me from Mexico w/ $94k in cash & 20 fake drivers licenses. She wanted to know how I felt about it. I told her I could really use $94k so I'm kind of bummed she stole it. She hung up on me.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
