A former Ward 2 ANC just filed a complaint about CM Pinto's (mis)use of Office resources. She sent a citywide mailer days before she announced a run for districtwide office.

A gathering of people in the early evening alongside Dr. Michael E Mann and Dr. Peter J Hotez, they are dressed casually and standing on a sidewalk terrace hung with string lights. Behind, a green awning says "Rosemary Bistro Cafe."

We had an amazing time last night with @michaelemann.bsky.social and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social as they discussed their new book #ScienceUnderSiege!

One poignant quote: β€œAnti-science is a lethal force.” Standing up for science saves lives! ✊

Correction: We are 'intentionally behind' on privacy regulations.
Congress does not WANT to regulate big tech, or it would have already.
Lobbyists win over 'doing the right thing' every single time.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

This is what is possible when real Democratic leaders care for their residents! Way to go @govmlg.bsky.social ! The Land of Enchantment is living its core values of helping working families and thinking of the future!

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

If they can enact universal childcare β€” and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden β€” surely we can too.

It's just a question of political will.

Donald Trump's Mass Deportation Agenda Has A Surprising Stakeholder: Bill Gates One of the billionaire's investments has become a linchpin in the day-to-day machinery of Trump’s immigration enforcement apparatus.

Would you believe that Bill Gates himself is an investor in the airline that deports people?

Yes, he is. The "Billionaire philanthropist' is enabling kidnapping and deporting people.

He doesn't care. It makes him money.

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
