My goal as a journalist is to report carefully on the best, most practical social policy ideas that can change the world, and this is easily the most exciting one I’ve had the opportunity to cover this year. I hope you'll read it 🧵↓

Probably because corporations and the 1% are making more money than ever— when we tax them they won’t even notice.

My fave legislator @LindaBRosenthal

- no universal healthcare - no universal childcare - college is unaffordable - housing is unaffordable - groceries are unaffordable The average salary for Gen Z is $39,416. The average household income needed to live comfortably raising 2 kids is $233,604. Hope this helps.

A must-read in support of Raise the Age. Article points out that there is no adolescent crime wave New York also committed $1.5B for youth programs to ensure the success of the law. Yet barely any money has come through. NYC in particular has received $0 https://t.co/TfgpFVW7F6

Being in crisis is not a crime, and holding a pair of scissors does not give law enforcement a license to kill. Win Rozario should still be alive. The officers who killed him should be held accountable. https://t.co/2Unbnm16YQ

Assemblymember @EmilyAssembly is a fierce leader for the working class and progressive values in Albany. Her work on climate, housing, and ethical government is an inspiration to me. I am so grateful to have her support in this campaign.

I’m enjoying our Democratic Retreat to discuss the coming year’s session… a highlight is always reconnecting with great allies like @JoAnneSimonBK52 who is fighting like hell for our environmental policies! We are enjoying the ALL ELECTRIC fittings of our hotel!

Jubilee Marketplace, home of New York City's best $2.75 cheeseburger, is now also serving great $18 bowls of chirashi. Scott's latest $20 Dinner takes him to Greenpoint: https://t.co/YVOShxS2W1

We must protect people from Trump’s cuts and deliver childcare and housing for New Yorkers. State govt has never mattered more in our daily lives. I'll continue to lead the fight for Zohran's agenda in Albany. It may be cold and boring, but it’s where our futures are determined.

We love to see it!!!

On Friday, December 5th come out to celebrate the kickoff of our campaign in Bushwick! We're rejecting corporate lobbyist money; raising cash from real people to power our movement and take this fight all the way to Albany. Families and children welcome!

Read these words. This is your country doing this: “Pregnant and postpartum women report starving in ICE custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, and their pleas for help going unanswered.” Thank you @KerryKennedyRFK @RFKHumanRights @Independent for shining a

For decades, conventional wisdom has been that solidarity with Palestine is political suicide. That's changed. So proud of my friend @alexaforcouncil and all my colleagues who refused to be silent (you know who you are, and your voters do too).

YES! All workers deserve stable schedules and predictable paychecks.

BLACK FRIDAY DEAL ok just kidding BUT if you swore off shopping today but still feel like spending, send some love to @EmilyAssembly’s re-election campaign!! and if you’re in BK, get a divination deck reading on Dec 5 at twenty sided store! https://t.co/lAUI9uSPq7

All this and my Commercial Rent Stabilization and we will be 🏆!

As an environmental crusader and current chair of the NYS Assembly Solid Waste Commission, I highly recommend the fantastic documentary TEENAGE WASTELAND! A film about toxic waste, upstate NY and a bunch of meddling kids— 👍🏼👍🏼

Just last month, the state argued in court that it couldn’t halt the all-electric buildings law even if it wanted to. Then it abruptly changed course.
