Today marks #Juneteenth, a day honoring the end of slavery in the United States. But the symbolism of this day doesn't address the enduring legacy of enslavement. This Juneteenth, we amplify the call for #ReparationsNow.

Next Tuesday I'm running a Beginner's Guide to Street Art session! It's free! It's online! I'll teach you everything I know about how to create a street art campaign using stickers and/or wheatpastes. I'll cover best practices, things to avoid, and how to craft a message. RSVP here: lu.ma/052bqav5

"Our future will not be different until we make a different a choice." New ad feat. @aoc.bsky.social now airing across New York City.

The research team also believes that, in their preliminary analysis up to 2024, the trend is intensifying over time! #QueerInSTEM www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

"Cuomo’s return is also due to people who should know better ..acting as if his abuses of power were no big deal...Take it from an editorial board that endorsed the ex-governor three times—albeit w/escalating levels of hedging—when we say that his final term in public service should remain his last"

The United States is committing genocide against its trans population, and SCOTUS just legalized it. That's the truth.

Top quality content.

As an Iraqi, to this day - 22 years after the US invasion - I still get asked “what would you prefer, what we have now or Saddam still in power?” It is the deep, underlying subconscious dehumanisation& racism that it is fundamentally believed the binary is all we, as middle easterners, deserve.

Things aren’t very good right now but this year’s peonies are stunning

Haven’t posted a chair in a while.

We haven't forgotten how #AndrewCuomo endangered nursing home residents & lied about it. Listen to Var, a disabled New Yorker and nursing home resident, talk about getting sick & losing friends to COVID as a direct result of Cuomo's chaotic & cruel policies. #DontRankCuomo

Proud to cross-endorse with Michael Blake and to be ranked #2 on his ballot. We can turn the page on Andrew Cuomo's politics of disgrace with unity.

¡Si Se Puede! Three of the detained Lynn-Ette farm workers taken by ICE in upstate New York last month have been released on bond. Intimidation by ICE will never stop labor organizing. Watch the video for more updates. #WeFeedYou

so much of politics feels SO BAD right now, why not be a part of the only piece that feels good?! Canvass for Zohran!! zohranfornyc.com/volunteer/signup

Over the next 8 days, you won't be able to turn on your TV, check your mail or watch a YouTube video without seeing a lie about our campaign. But we have the people. And the only thing more powerful than all this billionaire cash are New Yorkers talking to their neighbors.

Fuck. This.

If private companies can't afford to build rental housing when regulations like rent control exist, that sounds like a really good argument for rental housing development to no longer be in the hands of private companies.

On #FathersDay let's recognize the dads who work so hard to support their families. Ramiro shares, "I've grown up working in the fields. I've been a tractor driver for over 20 yrs to support my family of 4. I enjoy working outside, but worry as the pay isn't great." #WeFeedYou

I drew @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s rally tonight and if my eyes weren’t wet the whole time. Things are so bleak, fascism is rising, our neighbors are being kidnapped off the streets, but Zohran’s campaign is one spot of light. We really could win. Rank Zohron #1

Kudos to the people who placed the Palestinian flags just so.

Go Venetians!

This sweet story checks both my Bi and my study-of-Disney boxes. Please read and share!

It’s great seeing folks want to do something. But, I’ve seen a lot of calls to start groups/initiatives. My one bit of advice is to not start anything until you see what your community is already doing. Often, groups already exist with years of infrastructure. Could collaboration be a better option?

Carney has so far disappointed me at every turn, and I know it's hard to pry our eyes away from the US right now but we NEED to be paying attention & working to stop Carney's "Liberals" from taking us down the road to fascism

Early voting began TODAY — and now it’s crunch time! Join us on Wednesday evening for a #JewsForBrad phonebank with Brad Lander’s mayoral campaign. Sign up at jfrej.org/callbrad @bradlander.bsky.social

Yesterday we were proud to host @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! After co-endorsing both of them last week, we're so happy that they stood in front of photos of our members to cross-endorse each other. Rank them in your top two starting TODAY and #dontrankcuomo!

✊Thank you to Councilmembers @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social and @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social for joining our legal team today to observe immigration courts at 26 Federal Plaza. Together, we will #ProtectOurFutures!

Politics are better when we actually work together. Thank you @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @bradlander.bsky.social for putting the future of the city before yourselves and working to stop a corrupt anti-nyc disgraced former governor from trying to take over this great city.

It’s time to vote 🗳️ findmypollsite.vote.nyc

It's peak cherry harvest time in CAs central valley. This worker earns $6.50 per 23lb bucket of cherries. On a good day she can pick 20-24 buckets in 7 hrs-if she works as fast as she can. Peak season doesn't last long so she rushes to earn every penny. Her family relies on her. #WeFeedYou

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!
