You can call the governor today.
“My name is X. I live in X, zip code X.
I am calling to urge the governor to support and sign the New York 4 All Act. If she does not, I will support her opponent in the primary this summer.”
Add any details you like, like prosecuting ICE agents under NYS law.

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE.
518-474-8390.
This is important.

The reason MAGA thinks this video shows Renée Good‘s murderer as justified is found in the Margaret Atwood quote: "Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them."
In their minds, these two things are equivalent. #3E #EndImpunity #GoodVsEvil #RenéeGood

Renee Good’s murder was not just a homicide, it’s a hate crime against women, called femicide.
Good told ICE, "That's fine, I'm not mad at you" and was shot 3 times in the head point blank, Ross yelled the misogynist slur, "fucking bitch" after killing her. #3E #endimpunity

The suggestion that our issue is with his lack of energy is hilarious.
With more instances of Donald Trump appearing fatigued or forgetful, Americans are again seeing evidence of a president who lacks the energy to do his demanding job, @dgraham.bsky.social argues.
The Enfeebling of the President
Trump is showing signs that he’s lost the physical stamina to do the job.

1/2 As we get closer to the Christmas season, what kind of traditions do you carry on from your family?
My mom was an immigrant at 13, her side of the family believed since they were now in America they would leave behind the old ways
So I had to create my own once I had my own children
