! The magazine played a key role in my development as a socialist. Please give this a read and let me know what you think!
From chip bags full of air to that suspicious dimple on the bottom of the peanut butter jar, food corporations are shamelessly reducing the treats-per-dollar ratio. Snacks are a small but key pleasure that the capitalists are quietly ripping away from us.

In 1920 five socialists were expelled from Albany. They won their seats back, but were expelled again. Over 100 years later this group represents the biggest socialist caucus in NY history, as well as the first to include an upstate member. DSA is here to stay. Big things coming!

The NY State Common Retirement Fund holds over $267 million in Israel war bonds. Governor Hochul and Comptroller DiNapoli are funding the genocide of Palestinians with our tax dollars. She enjoys it so much that she imagines killing 40 million Canadians. Resign!
New York Governor Kathy Hochul says genocide is just the natural way people respond to being attacked.
“If Canada someday ever attacked Buffalo, I'm sorry my friends, there would be no Canada the next day.
That’s a natural reaction.”

I was diagnosed with COVID yesterday. I think I caught it from my hospital roommate's guests. I'm not mad at him for having visitors, but I am mad at NY state for allowing at least 30 hospital closures since 2000. Patients should not be forced to share rooms!
Sadly, I'm starting 2023 still in the hospital ☹️ It's ridiculous that during this ongoing pandemic patients are sharing rooms! We need more rooms and more beds all across NY. There should be a permanent moratorium on hospital closures! If one is closing the state should buy it.

Hochul's housing plan will not address the affordability crisis. NY needs more housing, but the root of the problem is not supply, it is capitalism. Our for-profit system prioritizes luxury housing and considers evictions and homelessness part of doing business. This must end!

If you think Jay Jacobs is doing a bad job then you don't understand his job. He's there to raise corporate money, punch the Left, and enrich consultants. Winning seats is not a top priority for the Democratic Party.
Jay Jacobs denied that Hochul had a detrimental effect on other candidates and refused to accept blame for both her performance and losses in Congress...
Instead, he placed blame on progressive politicians who have shifted the party too far to the left.

Israel has killed 8,000+ Palestinians this month. The worldwide protests prove that the working class wants peace! Last week, I joined 150+ people rallying in Poughkeepsie for a
#CeasefireNOW
and against President Biden's proposal to send $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel.

An op-ed by me in The Indypendent ✍️
Why is
@KathyHochul
trying to roll back bail reforms and refusing to tax the rich while blocking passage of Good Cause Eviction and sabotaging the Build Public Renewables Act? Because she's a Republican. Or at the very least, she governs like one.

Democrats have a 2:1 enrollment advantage over Republicans in NY state. There are more unaffiliateds than registered Republicans. If you draw the maps fairly they're gonna favor the Democrats because there are way more Democrats!

NY must lead the way. Pass the New York Health Act to make all healthcare, including abortion, free at the point of service. Create a state fund to pay for people to come to NY and receive the reproductive care they need at no cost. Abortion should be free and accessible to all.
The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes.

Chattel slavery ended in New York on July 4th, 1827. Slavery continues to exist in NY's prisons. Former Governor Cuomo forced incarcerated New Yorkers to make 11 million bottles of hand sanitizer in 2020. To quote Douglass: "What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July?"

Football players are workers. As their union you should be calling on the
@NFL
to cancel this game. If the Bills and Bengals players decide on a work stoppage then the union should defend them. Worker safety is more important than football. I hope Hamlin will be okay 🙏

The house next door to me in Poughkeepsie is listed on Airbnb. The host doesn't live here and the guests are often noisy 😡
#HomesAreNotHotels
NEW: Airbnb broke our housing system. In some towns up to 40% of available apartments are Airbnbs.
But people are fighting back. When Irvine, California banned short-term rentals, rents dropped.
Now a movement to regulate Airbnb is sweeping the nation.

The capitalists are gathering together too. They're using their puppets in government, media, and the courts to attempt to subvert the will of the majority. But we can defeat their money. We will not give up. Remember, there are more of us than there are of them. 3/3
