End Homelessness-Peter Bernstein

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide

A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position

This is what white supremacy looks like

If Reagan did it, why not! These guys are smarter.

Earlier this morning, Axios reported that Gov. Hochul plans to axe New Yorkers’ healthcare as a result of July’s Federal Budget Scam. Below is a response from Erica Vladimer, Communications Coordinator for the Invest In Our New York Campaign: “New York’s Congressional Republican delegation happily voted to make New Yorkers sicker by cutting billions from our healthcare, forcing state leaders to step in and deal with the aftermath. Unfortunately, Governor Hochul’s claim to stand up for New York’s families falls short as she chooses to axe their healthcare. Instead, Governor Hochul can raise the necessary public dollars to protect healthcare access by raising taxes on New York’s millionaires and billionaires. Anything less is just going along with Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.”

Welp, @governor.ny.gov is on board with Trump & Congressional Republicans' efforts to make NY sicker. @axios.com reported this morning that Hochul is scrapping expanded healthcare b/c of the Federal Budget Scam. www.axios.com/2025/09/10/n...

Our response (spoiler, she should #TaxTheRich instead)👇

The devastation in Gaza is unbearable. Entire families gone, neighborhoods erased, too often caused by bombs stamped Made in the USA.

That’s why I support @repdeliaramirez Block the Bombs Act. No more blank checks for war and US weapons fueling genocide. We must demand peace.

Ghislaine Maxwell absolves Trump, and everyone else, in DOJ interviews “I never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age,”

Ghislaine Maxwell from her prison cell: I never saw Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, or literally any man do anything inappropriate ever.
She was literally convicted for facilitating this exact thing.

Journalism and politics in an autocratic era Steve Schmidt and I on how to meet this moment

Terry Moran knows better than anyone that the corporate control of the newsroom is failing to meet the demands of this moment. open.substack.com/pub/terrymor...

After months of hand-wringing and finger-pointing, Democrats are still learning how to navigate a political landscape dominated by Donald Trump’s Republican Party. With Democrats locked out of power in Washington, the burden has shifted to the state and local levels to prove that we can govern. If you listen to Gov. Kathy Hochul, you’d think there’s nothing New York can do to fight back. Consider her response to Republicans slashing Medicaid and SNAP: “No state can backfill the massive cuts.” It’s simply not true that New York can’t afford to protect our most vulnerable citizens.

The same dynamic is playing out on immigration. Ms. Hochul bemoans the fact that “renegade counties” throughout New York are cooperating with ICE on immigration enforcement — all the while pretending that there’s no mechanism to stop it. Right now, ICE is deputizing police officers across our state to carry out immigration raids. The New York for All Act would end this practice, but the governor won’t commit to supporting it.

In New York, the legislature is not currently in its regular annual session. But the governor has the constitutional authority to call a special session and work with Democrats to pass legislation that makes up for draconian budget cuts and protects our immigrant communities. That should happen now.

Our state, if an independent country, would be the ninth-largest economy in the world. We also have the largest wealth inequality gap of any state. The money is there, but the political will is missing. There are serious policy options out there, but Ms. Hochul has ruled out raising taxes on the ultrawealthy and big corporations. The Invest in Our New York campaign includes a series of revenue proposals that could raise tens of billions of dollars annually. Democratic leaders should be putting ideas like these on the table, including an overhaul of the over $10 billion we give away annually through so-called economic development incentives to select businesses with no real return on investment.

Lt. Gov Delgado is 🎯spot on🎯. NYS leaders can support the people they represent (and show the rest of the nation how it's done!)

We can reduce the impact of the Federal Budget Scam RIGHT NOW during a special session where lawmakers #TaxTheRich, and pass #NY4All & #DignityNotDetention Acts.

Man made famine is the worst famine! #WarCrimesInGaza

Is anyone keeping track of how much #Cuomo sexual harassment incidents are costing NYS Taxpayers in settlements, legal costs, etc?

Whether it’s Josh Hawley or Mike Lawler, you can’t listen to a word they say. Just watch how they vote. They’re voting to throw 17 million people off their health insurance, and to take food away from children, because they believe only rich people and corporations deserve government assistance.

Not happy that my Congress Rep Latimer and one of my Senators (Gillibrand) voted for this nonsense. What could go wrong? 😑

Overnight, MAGA Mike Lawler & House GOP passed Trump’s rescission bill, H.R. 4 gutting PBS, global disaster aid & food relief. 

Mike calls himself a “moderate.”

Moderates don’t defund Sesame Street. They don’t starve kids.
They don’t slash lifesaving aid.

Cruelty was the point. Mike chose it.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

ICE are law breaking thugs!! MAGA gestapo!!

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

Terry Moran told the truth about the hateful Stephen Miller. ABC News hid behind the worn-out claim that their journalist failed to show sufficient neutrality—& fired him. “Neutrality” rather than truth-telling has helped deliver a fascist regime—and legacy media capitulating to a despot’s demands.

Thank you #TerryMoran for being a real journalist by telling the truth! #BoycottABC

ABC Boots Star Anchor for Saying Miller ‘Eats His Hate’ The move comes two days after Moran was suspended over an X post.

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.”

Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.
