ICE doesn’t keep us safe. It terrorizes everyday Americans and is now actively killing us. Abolish ICE, pass New York for All, and let’s build an immigration system rooted in dignity, due process, and humanity.

We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric as many, including the Vice President call the victim a domestic terrorist.

Tom Homan is a propagandist and a liar.

The Iraq War cost the U.S. over two trillion dollars. Meanwhile, we continue to lack safe affordable housing, universal childcare, and universal healthcare.

Trump is a neocon at heart just like Bush: tax cuts for billionaires, a bloated military-industrial complex, Americans last.

Regime change wars exist to feed the military-industrial complex, not help people. Trillions go to weapons and contractors while societies are destabilized. What’s happening in Venezuela is unconstitutional and my heart breaks for the Venezuelan people.

I continue to be so confused as to why Syracuse does not play Sadiq White and Donnie Freeman together.

You have two wings built for today’s game perfectly yet you play them separately.

That makes no sense.

Another fear mongering article saying the rich cannot be taxed more because millionaire wealth only doubled instead of tripled.

Anyone else sick of the corporate elite gaslighting the working class?

It’s past time to elect Democrats who fight for everyday people, not millionaire growth rates.

@billsimmons.bsky.social are you thinking Ewing Theory with Caitlin Clark for these playoffs yet?

"Do you think the government should increase taxes on the wealthiest to strengthen the country's social and safety net programs?"

Yes: 73%
No: 26%

Citizen Action of New York endorses Antonio Delgado for Governor of New York (including inset photo of the Lieutenant Governor.)

New Yorkers deserve a Governor who will fight for us—who will push back on Trump, not cut deals with him, and make our state safer and more affordable for all of us. That’s why we’re proud to endorse Antonio Delgado @delgadoforny.bsky.social for Governor!

Honored to stand with workers at today’s Labor Day rally. We must become a state and a country of the workers, by the workers, and for the workers. Together, we are strong, unstoppable, and we will win.

Happy Labor Day! Today we honor the workers who build, care, and serve our communities. We must become a state and a country that is of the workers, by the workers, and for the workers. Together, we are strong, unstoppable, and we will win!

Activists Call on Gov. Hochul to Support Clean Energy, Reject Trump-Backed Pipelines Southern Tier environmental activists are slamming Governor Kathy Hochul and New York Public Service Commission Chair, Rory Christian for rejecting a major renewable energy infrastructure project.

Great quote from @citizenactionny.org organizer @ravoroot.bsky.social: "...These actions are reckless. Governor Hochul must step up and lead on climate, not bow down to Trump and the oil and gas industry."

Kelsey Mitchell is the most underrated player in the WNBA.

Happy Independence Day.

I love this country. Not because it’s perfect, but because people have always fought to make it better.

Patriotism means closing the gap between our ideals and our reality. That means no kings. No billionaires in charge. No one above the people.

Here’s to the work. 🇺🇸

Mike Lawler looked into the camera and lied directly to your face.

Mike Lawler is nothing more than just another corporate politician that says anything to get elected then stabs us in the back when he goes to vote in Washington.

The Republican Party is voting in lockstep today to show they are:

❌ Against safe, affordable housing
❌ Against healthcare access
❌ Against food assistance

💰 For billionaires getting another massive tax break while shitting on the rest of America.

Don't tell me you give a shit about the middle class when all you do is shit on the middle class.

I'm voting hell no.

The One Big Beautiful Scam will kick 1.5 million New Yorkers off their healthcare.

No one in Upstate New York should lose their healthcare so billionaires and big corporations can get another handout.

Proud to have a Congressman representing us who is voting against this bill which puts working class people last and billionaires first.

The former guy who held this seat would have gladly voted yes on these disastrous cuts as he did many times when he was in office.

Destroying the lives of millions of Americans doesn’t serve anyone in Alaska or across the country.

This is what you will be remembered for Senator Murkowski.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” Bombs in the Polls Most Americans reject key parts of the plan, as even Republicans waver

Win or lose this Indiana Pacers team is one of the very best teams I have ever had the privilege to watch.

They would have beaten my Celtics and been here no matter what.

Juneteenth is a song of freedom, born from struggle and carried with hope.
We honor the past and dream forward, toward justice that is real and freedom that is full.

Regime change wars have never worked. They destabilize entire regions, cost countless lives, and serve only to enrich billionaire defense contractors. While the military-industrial complex thrives, everyday people, both here and abroad, pay the price in blood, suffering, and lost futures.

Congressman Riley is right. This is plan is going to kill people, plain and simple.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

What dystopian reality is this? Blatant lies and it’s all on tape.
