Pets must not be treated like property.
Proud that my new law with @sengianaris.bsky.social bans predatory lease agreements in online sales. These contracts have allowed pets to be cruelly repossessed from loving families simply over missed payments

Thank you Halle Berry for highlighting my package of menopause bills that I’m working to pass in #NYS. 💪
We MUST protect women experiencing menopause from discrimination and make menopausal-related health treatments more affordable.
Fired up and ready to make history.

I felt the dread of generations in my bones during a surprise visit to 26 Federal Plaza with @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social + @micahlasher.bsky.social this morning.
Trump is carrying out pure evil. And while the arc of the moral universe is long, we must forcefully bend it toward justice.

Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system, but reductions to frontline staff combined with upcoming federal cuts will harm workers and patients alike.

Michael McKee was the juggernaut of the housing movement and his legacy will forever live on in the legions of activists he’s inspired.
His encyclopedic knowledge was legendary. His belief in justice defined him.
Proud to have been his friend. I’ll miss him dearly.

I wrote to Governor Hochul earlier this week urging the NYS Department of Health to issue a non-patient specific standing order for the #COVID19 vaccine.
I’m glad that the Governor heeded the call, but we can’t stop there — #NYS must also direct insurance companies to cover the cost of vaccines.
