Bernie to Dems:

Alexis traveled from #NorthCarolina to talk with Senator Thom Tillis about how Medicaid allows her disabled daughter, Kinsley, to live at home and in her community instead of at the hospital.

"We are advocating for #Medicaid because Medicaid is a lifeline..."

NYC-DSA had ~5,000 members when Zohran announced his campaign in October. It gained another ~3,000 members between Zohran's announcement and primary election day, thanks to Zohran's campaign and reaction to Trump's presidential win. It will likely attract even more following Zohran's win.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has said repeatedly he condemns antisemitism, and has personally hurt no one. Andrew Cuomo has had credible allegations of sexual harassment and all these people shared no concern for the safety of the women in NYC. It is vile, racist, political, and we see it.

Citizen Action of New York Condemns Senator Gillibrand’s Racist Remarks Towards Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani Read full press release at https://citizenactionny.org/press-releases/

“We strongly condemn Senator Gillibrand’s shameful and racist remarks. Her rhetoric fuels a dangerous, Islamophobic smear campaign against Mamdani — a campaign that has led to death threats and calls for his deportation. This is not just irresponsible, it is reprehensible."

Last day @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social !!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

When our Dem leaders stand up and fight back with us, that’s how we win. Huge props to @bradlander.bsky.social

Wayne County community rally amid ICE raid at restaurant Newswatch 16's Emily Kress spoke with people in the Honesdale community who are shaken after watching three restaurant employees get detained.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨

Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas:

5th and Washington Ave
7th and Snyder Ave
5th and McKean/Wolf
Chinatown

Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

@speakercarlheastie.bsky.social really hoping TDI passes the Assembly this session - NY workers can’t survive cancer on $170/wk and no health insurance for chemo. MA and NJ workers get over $1K/wk and continued health care. Anything you can do please and thank you 🙏🏼

This just came in the mail and I’m excited to dig in!👏🏻

If I didn't have access to care, my recovery journey would have been infinitely harder - if not impossible. Richard, NYC #ProtectOurCare

Medicaid helped save Richard's life and allowed him to live with dignity.

Stories like Richard's are the reason we must fight to protect our care - because over 7 million New Yorkers rely on Medicaid to survive.

Grateful to have @citizenactionny.bsky.social on my side as we fight for universal childcare, truly affordable housing, and environmental justice. Fighting back against the Trump agenda at home means ensuring New York City works for working people, not just the wealthy and well connected.

I've worked with Citizen Action for years, including fighting for affordable housing, healthcare, climate initiatives, criminal justice reform & gender justice. I'm privileged to have earned their endorsement for Council District 2!

Senator Schumer @schumer.senate.gov raised his voice to stand up for Medicaid and Medicare over tax cuts for billionaires.

It's bolstering to see our Senators stand up and raise their voices in this moment.

Let's see some more. Keep up the energy—let's go!

Senator Gillibrand @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social joined to speak out against the attacks on Medicaid and Medicare from DOGE and Musk, and the importance of protecting Social Security. #HandsOFF

Our neighboring NJ Senator @booker.senate.gov has been taking a stand for 21+ hours to tell the stories of the communities hurt most by these drastic MAGA and DOGE cuts.

It's not business as usual. It's critical our leaders step up and use their voices and their legislative powers in opposition.
