Without strong health data privacy laws, those seeking reproductive & gender-affirming care risk being criminalized based on digital data. Gov. Hochul, protect New Yorkers and sign A.2141/S.929.

If you think abortion information isn’t being censored, think again. Advocates have had their accounts suspended and posts removed. It’s time to fight back. #StopCensoringAbortion

The world has a history of standing up to fascist dictators. We Americans are just used to being on the standing up side. Okay, world, please stand up for us! Our elected officials sure aren’t!

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is a national emergency:

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

It seems like lawmakers have learned nothing because new site-blocking laws for copyright were once again written in secret by a handful of industry representatives. That was unacceptable in 2012, and it’s even more unacceptable in 2025.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

I will continue to support my trans friends. I will continue to respect one’s chosen pronouns, because I respect them. I will continue to fight for the oppressed. I will continue to love. I will continue to call out systemic racism, inequity, iniquity, and fight for a better world. I have a dream.
