I'm supporting @nywfp.bsky.social because a vote on the WFP line sends a clear message: we want leaders who will tax the rich, freeze the rent, and make NYC work for all of us, not just the wealthy few. Join me and take the pledge!

We need a progressive version of the Tea Party. The Tea Party (voters mostly) were successful at pressuring the Republican Party and forcing it to change. It did. It got worse.
We need to be like the Tea Party, but in a positive way and for the good of the country. We have to be laser-focused.
Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday.
Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast?
Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.
More great work in our NY State Assembly!
NEW: After the election, many have asked “where do we go from here?” I have some thoughts and they don't include “be more moderate”
Read my op-ed in @empirereportny.bsky.social where I call for us in the NY legislature to act with a bold and progressive vision.
Wanted to share this for my #QueensNY gang 💯💯

A few existing politicos and news sources who y’all might wanna take a look at!
The FELON does NOT have a landslide or a mandate!
It’s a PLURALITY, less than a majority!
His margin is 1.6% which is 44th out of 51 elections since 1824.
This is the narrowest margin for an R since 1968, excluding the 2xs Rs lost the popular vote & won the Electoral College.
36% didn’t vote.
I’ve never in my life agreed with a Trump pick before. But Rep. Chavez-DeRemer knows her stuff as it comes to unions. She’s by no means amazing. But it’s certainly hope that not all will be lost in the cabinet.
Let’s not give up and keep working to see how we can continue to organize.
While Nancy Mace is fighting to stop trans women from using bathrooms, us NY progressives are fighting to get kids asthma inhalers.
Things are looking pretty bleak nationally. Thank goodness for our Queens-based state legislators like my boss @votejgr.bsky.social who are keeping the sanity 😭.

This is insanity… welcome to life now I guess…
BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard is on a TSA watch list because of her suspicious foreign travel patterns
Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the nominee for Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for her suspicious foreign travel patterns
Make anyone who supports nominees like Hegseth get on the record doing so. When everything is investigated and it’s true, they show who they truly are.
This is a huge thing! As long as the media focuses on getting clicks with Trump’s dumbassery, we end up with X-style and NYPost-style moguls and magnates entirely controlling the public eye!
I’m glad to be on #bluesky ! A lot of people say this is just going to be an echo chamber for the left, but I disagree. There’s no reason any social media app would become an echo chamber unless SOMEONE turns it into that (cough cough). Anyways, glad to be here!
The CEO of Delta says that having to refund a passenger for a cancelled flight is "government overreach."
These corporations are endlessly greedy, and the next 4 years will be a slue of efforts to swindle consumers out of every penny.
It is significant that the Pres-elect nominated Rep. Chavez-DeRemer for Labor. Her record suggests real support of workers & their right to unionize. I hope it means the Trump admin will actually respect collective bargaining and workers' voices from Teamsters to teachers.
