This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

This morning, a bunch of us went to Albany Airport to tell travelers about Avelo's implicity in the Trump authoritarian regime. @indivisiblealbany.org @indivisible-adk.bsky.social @bmvhuddle.bsky.social @colonieindivisible.bsky.social @troyindivisible.bsky.social @progress-schdy.bsky.social

Trump and Republicans slashed over $1.1 trillion from Medicaid and cut healthcare tax credits that lower costs for millions of working families — all while delivering billions in tax breaks to insurance CEOs and Big Pharma. Join the fight to protect healthcare: economicsecurity.us/wp-content/u...

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “There's nothing "moderate" about surrendering in exchange for "strong assurances" from congressional Republicans. That's just stupid political malpractice. Republicans are losing this fight, and Dems should hold the line!” A screengrab from The Hill: “At least eight moderate Senate Democrats are meeting in hopes of finding a deal to end the monthlong government shutdown, but sources familiar with the closely held conversations say they will need strong assurances from the GOP before voting to reopen the government.”

The American people appreciate that Democrats are fighting to protect healthcare for millions — we cannot afford another surrender to Trump. Thank your Democratic senator(s) for fighting hard to keep healthcare costs down and urge them to keep holding the line: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Tell Governor Hochul to sign these bills Please take action!

NY lawmakers passed several important bills this year. They will strengthen abortion and gender-affirming care, resist book bans, keep families together, protect checks & balances, and allow New Yorkers to die with dignity.

But right now, they're gathering dust on the Gov's desk. Ask her to sign 👇

Happy #ElectionDay, New York!⁠

Resistance Is Cringe—But It’s Also Effective Dismissing the movement as embarrassing pap ignores what has made it so powerful.

The Trump regime tried to paint No Kings Day as a “hate America” protest, but what we saw on display was the best of what this country is meant to be. #NoKings

How to get New York back on track toward its climate targets NYSERDA President Doreen Harris joins me to discuss the reality of trying to reach ambitious climate goals

David Roberts talks with Doreen Harris of NYSERDA in this episode of Volts. They focus on NY State not meeting CLCPA goals and on the affordability of meeting those goals.

There's not much on the need to transition off fossil fuels as quickly as possible to avert critical climate tipping points.

Thousands of patriots turned out in #Albany, NY to proclaim #NoKings. Contrary to what Republicans say, it was peaceful and nonviolent. We love our country, the Constitution, and our neighbors, even if they don't look just like us. @progress-schdy.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Hey DC, thanks for celebrating workers’ power and standing up to the Republicans who want to sell our country out for profit.

The only strategy known to work against a fascist power grab is widespread and diverse pro-democracy organizing. We win by showing up for each other and with each other.

I cannot stress enough that some of the most powerful people on the planet have been captured by a worldview that is fundamentally anti-human

I’ve always believed that our youth and younger generations hold the power to end the gun violence epidemic in this country.

I met with young people from @momsdemand.bsky.social to talk about the work they’re doing to advance policy that continues New York’s leadership on reducing gun violence.

Really great to see someone say what needs to be said over and over: lots of those executive orders are bullshit grabs for powers the president doesn't have--unless we give it to him, and that starts through misinformation.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."
