CUNY's budget was reduced by $155 million this year and faces $41 million in cuts ANNUALLY beginning next year. @CUNY educates a third of our public school teachers and half of the city’s new nurses. This is not the time to stop investing in the next generation.

Amanda Zurawski’s experience is just one example of the many ways restrictive abortion laws harm women. She noted that such “barbaric restrictions" affect "real people” and told those who support such restrictions “I nearly died on your watch.” https://t.co/rIPKZfx0ot
A must-watch story by Amanda Zurawski. After being told her pregnancy was not viable and was a danger to her life, Amanda was unable to receive medical treatment because of Texas’ restrictive abortion laws passed after Dobbs. She almost died.

Bye, Twitter. 🥺 The tipping point was having to pay for verification, when we feel we add a lot of value. We also feel solidarity with NPR, and share concerns about Twitter’s direction. You can find us on the blog and TikTok. If we join another platform, we’ll send word here. 🫡

Painful to see Justice LaSalle & other star COA candidates ensnared by a selection process irrevocably tainted by lies, political bullying, and repeated manipulations of rules/procedures engineered to exclude some and muscle others through. Arbitrary. Exclusionary. Unacceptable.
This is an @GovKathyHochul pick in name only. Her alleged first choice was humiliated by the bullies posing as progressives. The piñata that occupies the second floor in Albany is a disgrace to those who voted for her. Judge LaSalle was the choice.

Hmm...what do "unprecedented" COA rule changes have in common? Puerto Rican rule-of-law candidates (whether falsely labeled "too left" or "too right") Shameful. 7 senators voted ‘without recommendation’ on LaSalle. What does that mean? https://t.co/yUdaOTTqWC via @CityAndStateNY

Until Wednesday, that third option received little attention.

And who was voted on UNANIMOUSLY by the Senate. But many choosing to gloss over that fact.
One Capitol Wag points out that the confirmation hearing for Janet DiFiore lasted one hour. DiFiore is The previous Chief Judge who many @NYSenateDems consider to be the worst in modern history

👇 the longest scrutiny for the first-ever Puerto Rican nominee.
@SenatorOMara points out that this has been the longest hearing he has seen for a Chief Judge candidate. So the longest scrutiny has been reserved for the first-ever #Latino nominee in #NewYork state. .@NYSenate @ZackFinkNews @bobhardt @eldiariony @analedoT47 @JoseADelgadoEND
