No child should go hungry simply because their parents are immigrants. As mayor, I’ll join @newyorkstateag.bsky.social in using every lever of government for the families who fear if they can afford tomorrow’s meals.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

It’s just another campaign in the GOP’s war on women.

We will save you from a lifetime of college loan repayments—NOT by making education cheaper, but instead, by taking away the loan money so you can’t go in the first place. Sounds like perfect con logic. Putin pats his head and says, “what a good boy!!”

The intent is to collapse the United States. The economy, healthcare, education, institutions, everything.
We knew this before the election, but somehow it’s like most people don’t understand what’s happening.

From a nursing perspective, organisations (hospitals and other providers as well as insurers) will push the idea that nurses aren’t critical staff and thus lower costs by using less qualified and thereby cheaper staff. The problem is the evidence shows that fewer RNs leads to poorer outcomes.

BREAKING: The majority of executives and upper management are totally talentless hacks.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Hey everyone,
I hate asking again, but the movers we hired ripped my family off. Quoted us about $4k then extorted another almost $4k. I’m sick from overwork, will have to miss work to recover and we’re down a lot more than planned.
