THOUSANDS of us were out today on Western Ave standing in unity against Trump’s fascist regime for No Kings 2.0 - I was in awe of the thousands of people around me and invigorated to be a small part of it.

Together we are stronger, more organized, and *united* we can move forward and through this.

I stand with @newyorkstateag.bsky.social This indictment is ridiculous - AG James has been an incredible advocate, a leader for NY, and a fighter for all - for these reasons she is being targeted and for these reasons I’ve got her back.

There needs to be an opportunity for NYS to fight back when government actors are out of line.

I just introduced A.9076/S.8500 with Senator Myrie - a bill that gives New Yorkers the power to hold government officials accountable in our own state courts when they violate our constitutional rights.

Commentary: New York state's history is our story. We must be the ones to tell it. As the Trump administration tries to control howΒ museums present the past, it's more important than ever for the state to invest in its cultural institutions.

Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system and have long been at the forefront of advocating for meaningful change in the workplace. This ratification marks a historic victory in the ongoing efforts to strengthen the future of Albany Medical Center. Congratulations to the nurses who fought tirelessly for safer working conditions and to @ NYSNA for their unwavering advocacy. I remain deeply and unwaveringly committed to supporting our nurses and advancing patient safety and workplace fairness.

Today I joined colleagues from NY, MA, and PA to support the MELT Act, led by @patriciafahy46.bsky.social & @tonysimone.bsky.social. The bill bans ICE an federal agents from hiding their identities, promoting safety and transparency for vulnerable communities. I am committed to safety for all.

10 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of continuing to fight for equal rights for all in Obergefell v. Hodges. This fight was the result of generations of folks fighting with courage, resilience, and pride. 
The fight is far from over, especially as the federal government continues to roll back protections for our LGBTQIA+ community, with transgender and gender nonconforming individuals facing the greatest threats. I will always fight for a future where every American can live openly, love freely, and be treated with the dignity and safety they deserve. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ€

Ten years ago, SCOTUS ruled for marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges, a victory built on generations of LGBTQIA+ courage and pride. But the fight isn’t over.

Justice, fairness, and transparency must never be up for negotiation. In this budget, we won.

In addition to other major wins for working families preserving our discovery law was one of my proudest accomplishments - over the next few days, I'll update you on the wins in this year's budget

I was so proud to stand with my colleagues in the NYS Assembly to protect due process in this year’s budget. We fought to preserve the heart of the 2020 discovery reforms because access to evidence isn’t a technicality; it’s a constitutional right.

Visas have been revoked for 7 students at Capital Region schools recently without explanation or justification. As your Assemblymember, I won’t stand for this.

@patriciafahy46.bsky.social , @johnmcdonald108.bsky.social and I demand an end to these violations of constitutional rights & due process.

I’ve seen firsthand how transparency in the criminal legal process strengthens our communities and increases integrity in the courtroom.

As a former public defender and now Assemblymember, I’m using my trial experience and voice to push back on the false narratives about New York’s discovery law.

Just as the CRA's passage faced many obstacles, we still find ourselves now fighting injustice and fascism. Today and every day, we need to commit to learning from our wrongs and dismantling systems of oppression.

Today is the 61st anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, which outlawed segregation and discriminatory practices across the nation. Now more than ever, it's so important to recognize our history and past injustices

Donald Trump’s tariff plan will drive up energy costs, adding to working families' already skyrocketing bills. As we all grapple with the chaos in Washington, I won't stop working to lower costs, from investing in affordable green energy to passing measures to lower utility bills.
