It may be doom and gloom on the news, but there is power brewing in the streets! Inspiring turnout in Newburgh yesterday as we joined @lettercarriers.bsky.social, @apwu.bsky.social & workers from all over to protect the USPS and fight against the attempted privatization of our government.

I'm proud to be endorsed by @nywfp.bsky.social, For the Many, @mhvdsa.bsky.social and @nypan1.bsky.social ahead of my Democratic primary in June!

“Here’s my hope … after this election, when the Republican party expels the turd of Donald Trump, it will go back to being the old Republican party.” This is a delusional take based in wishful thinking, instead of objective reality.

ICE kidnapped Mahmoud Khalil, Schumer said he'll vote to advance the Trump/Musk funding bill, and Columbia University fired the union president. Decades are happening this week. Nobody is coming to save us. Join DSA, unionize your workplace, and protest in the streets! dsausa.org/join

Socialists are leading the fight against fascism. If you see Republicans throwing the working class under the bus & the Dems failing to fight—now is the time to join DSA. We elect people who fight.

I marched against fascism with over 500 people on Poughkeepsie’s Walkway Over the Hudson! I’ll never stop fighting for immigrants, people of color, women, the LGBTQIA+ community, and Palestinians. Trump/Musk want to divide the working class so they can get richer. We will resist!

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

Andrew Cuomo is running for Eric Adams’ second term: the same donors, the same agenda, the same chaos. But I believe New Yorkers are hungry for a different kind of politics—one that puts working people first.

Yesterday, our chapter members rallied with @sarahanaforassembly in Albany to launch the Rent Emergency Stabilization Act (REST Act), a bill that will make it much easier for upstate municipalities to adopt rent stabilization.

The state shouldn’t stand in the way of localities that want to protect their tenants. Proud to introduce the Rent Emergency Stabilization for Tenants (REST) Act, which would give localities the power they need to stabilize rents.
