December 1st is World AIDS Day, where we gather to remember our siblings who we lost to this horrifying epidemic, a result of policy disaster, homophobia and transphobia. I joined my siblings at @housingworks at the Manhattan AIDS memorial for their annual event.

Senator @BernieSanders & Mayor-Elect @ZohranKMamdani visited my district to support striking Starbucks workers. NYC's workers deserve more! I'm so proud we have an incoming mayor that's committed to fighting for worker protections. Don't cross the picket line!🚫☕️

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).

BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel’s assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded. This is not war: it is genocide.

President Trump is right. To stay ahead in the global AI race, America needs a unified federal framework. One that promotes innovation without overbearing regulation. A smart, cohesive national policy will ensure that American ingenuity leads the world in the age of A.I.

NYC is a Union Town! Hell yeah! Congrats to the workers who fought so hard!!
Unionized journalists at the Daily News have reached an agreement with the paper’s owner, Alden Global Capital, for a first contract that includes new, life-changing salary minimums, 6% wage increases over six months and new benefits for part-timers. Read: https://t.co/10IydFEv3U

92% of unionized baristas just voted YES to an unfair labor practice strike. Baristas are ready to fight for an end to union busting, and for a strong first contract. They need us to stand with them. NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE!
As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Come make sure the rich aren’t running off with the whole pie - we are telling legislators that it’s time to give us the @ZohranKMamdani mandate or vacate. We know we can deliver much of Zohran’s platform locally but the fight for universal childcare must be won statewide.
