I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Whether I’m in a union hall or on Bloomberg, the message is the same: raise taxes on the wealthiest individuals and most profitable corporations to invest in public goods for the many.

The playbook is simple.

The billionaires hiking prices and cutting jobs want workers fighting and blaming each other so they can keep getting rich off our backs and laughing their way to the bank.

Immigrants aren’t the problem. Billionaires are.

I am honored that the people who make this city run trust me to run this city.

We are on a mission to lower the cost of living for working class New Yorkers, and with the support of the city’s largest municipal union, we are ready to win.

Thank you @dc37nyc.bsky.social

LIVE NOW: Sen. Booker will go as long as he can in marathon Senate speech to protest Trump YouTube video by MSNBC

Cory Booker is an inspiration!

"Tonight, I rise with the intention of getting in some good trouble. I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able,” Booker said.

Please sign this letter.

Trans rights are human rights.

Trans care is healthcare.

And don't EVER comply with fascism. Because today it's trans people and immigrants, but it will NEVER end. They'll always find a new scapegoat.

Tomorrow (Friday) is economic strike buy-nothing day. It's also a good day to cancel your subscriptions and accounts with businesses that have dropped their DEI policies, and let them know why you are doing it!
