BREAKING: Trump makes his first appearance at the US Open. There were audible boos and a few light claps.

Important to stress the stadium is at most 10% full and the start time has been pushed to 2:30pm ET.

@GovKathyHochul we’re counting on you to close the state’s largest landfill when it’s full this December, not let Texas owned Waste Connections trash Seneca Falls for another 15 years. #shutitdown

Waiting to see if @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social will put people over plastic next week or not. Sure hope he does not side with the plastics and chemical industry.

Plastic is made with 16,000 chemicals, more than a quarter of which are known to be toxic to humans. Time to put people's health over plastic and chemical industry profits by passing the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act A1749 in the NYS Assembly. This critical legislation would ban the use of 17 of the most toxic chemicals in packaging, including lead, mercury, cadmium, PFAS chemicals, phthalates, bisphenols like BPA and BPS, furans, formaldehyde, halogenated flame retardants and more. Urge your NYS Assemblymember to vote YES on A1749 before the legislative session ends on June 17. Call now at: https://bit.ly/people-over-plastic

Time is running out to put people over plastic in NYS. Call today to urge your NYS Assembly to urge them to vote YES on Assemblywoman's Glick's Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (A1749) now at: https://bit.ly/people-over-plastic

Big corporations want lawmakers to protect their profits over your health. Whose side is your Assemblymember on: the chemical industry or children and families? Tell your Assemblymember to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act! 📲Call now: bit.ly/people-over-...

We have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight. To ASK QUESTIONS. And for our questions to be met with handcuffs is UNACCEPTABLE.

Microplastics have now been found in the human heart, lungs, brain, testes, placentas, and breastmilk. Babies are being born pre-polluted by plastics. We MUST reduce the huge amount of plastic being produced and put into the marketplace and our bodies.

Texas’s Crypto-Mining Racket Public officials are propping up a Texas Bitcoin boom that’s threatening water and energy systems while afflicting locals with noise pollution.

Bitcoin mining is spreading across the country like a cancer, harming communities. Whether it’s direct or indirect, you are being impacted by this industry- all to make a few very rich people even richer. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

Attacks on Judges Undermine Democracy, Warns Ketanji Brown Jackson Speaking to a judicial conference, the Supreme Court justice said attacks were designed to intimidate and influence.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court’s newest member, denounced on Thursday what she described as "relentless attacks" on judges, and an environment of harassment that "ultimately risks undermining our Constitution and the rule of law."

Do you feel it?
Do you feel the momentum shift?
The will of the people is strong.
And we all know the only way out is through & the only way through, is together.
Resist.
Persist.
Standup.
Speak out.
Fight.
We can do this.
We WILL do this.
We ARE doing it.
And we will not stop.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.
