It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

Thank you @warnock.senate.gov for these very important posts about the higher cost of healthcare from the Republican Big Ugly Bill

These cruel Medicaid cuts are all part of Trump's Shutdown

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

Remembering Bill Rieflin, dear friend and consummate musical talent, born on this day in 1960. As Michael said, “his time here with us [was] so precious and golden.”

Georgia for Ruwa Romman! @ruwaromman.bsky.social

Ruwa Romman @ruwaromman.bsky.social · 9d

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15.

I'm running for Governor to change that.

It’s on all of us to stop the hate

Honor the memory of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, by demanding leaders dial back the toxic rhetoric before more lives are lost.
