so remarkably tired that I am sneaking out of the birthday party an hour and a half in (and I spent 45 minutes of that time in hiding having dinner)

Just watched the Harry Styles performance from the BRITS (idk someone correct me if that’s not the right stylizing of that) and WE ARE SO BACK. Wow I love pop music. A little dance number? The music feels so euphoric?

βœ… Oppose #TaxTheRich
βœ… Roll back climate law
βœ… Let local govs collude with ICE

This is Governor Hochulβ€”and thus the state of NYS politicsβ€”when she faces no primary challenge from the Left and when a majority of Assembly Dems are neoliberals.

Friends, we *must* win our Assembly primaries this year.

I didn’t do any work to pull off today’s rally. It’s the first time in years that this is true when it comes to a TTR action in Albany. The folks who did the work should feel immensely proud.

It’s nice to step back from an organizing project I love and to see others stepping up & into it.

there’s something really gratifying of doing many many years of work on an issue to create fertile ground for candidates to run on it and win; for the organizing to scale up; and for a new generation of organizers to be stepping into political leadership.

Governor Hochul is using a state program called ReCharge NY to help pay the cost of power for 7 data center companies.

@reinventalbany.bsky.social and @publicpowerny.bsky.social are fighting this and the orgs to follow on this mater.

Excellent investigation here by @nycfootprint.bsky.social.

Support Mo Brown for Assembly Mo Brown is building a grassroots campaign to lower costs and stand up for working families. Chip in today.

Last, but not least, if you could help us hit our fundraising goal for February, that would put us in the ideal spot going into petitioning!

Let's get to work! /8

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams on NYC's preliminary budget Public Advocate Jumaane Williams discuss the city's budget on "Inside City Hall."

New Yorkers are right to be angry at the prospect of austerity and cuts, OR higher property taxes on working class families.

But, let's make sure our anger is pointed in the right direction: Toward the governor, who refuses to tax the wealthiest among us.

Hochul scrambles to save health program insuring 1.7M people in NY President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans on July 4, 2025, at the celebration and bill signing for the president's massive domestic tax and spending plan, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill." The measure cut taxes and gutted federal support for a swath of programs, including health insurance benefiting New Yorkers. Losing the Essential Plan after federal cuts would be a "freaking nightmare." [ more β€Ί ]
