Thank you, @NYCMayor, for breaking fast with Muslim Deliveristas tonight.
Honoring our traditions, standing with Deliveristas, and showing that together we can build a future where our labor and humanity are treated with dignity.

I truly don't understand crypto. How is that not illegal??
the current theory seems to be that he's wearing a bulletproof vest.
Last nightβs [terrible] vote was just the start of a long process - read this epic thread about the next steps and where in this process we can apply pressure to MoCs in both the House & Senate.
In the graphic below, we are at Step 1. Read more at www.progressivecaucuscenter.org/the-basics-o...
Very proud to have stood today with my @workersjusticep.bsky.social colleagues and other brave delivery workers to announce this settlement with AG James. Thank you to her office for their tireless work on behalf of Deliveristas!
For years, DoorDash cheated its delivery workers by using customers' tips to meet its workersβ guaranteed pay instead of giving them the tips they earned.Β

Today, we're making DoorDash pay $16.75 million that will go back into the pockets of tens of thousands of workers.
ooh i just saw it in my inbox! will go read it now.
Like they are just letting this blank speak volumes.

It really seems like the people at the agencies in charge of making these edits are doing them as badly as possible as a form of passive resistance, lol.
Hi everyone! We're brand new to Bluesky and thought, "What better way to introduce ourselves than with a look back at everything we were able to accomplish in 2024?" We look forward to connecting with you all here!
Making a separate thread of the immigration, heath, and education resources that @agounardes.bsky.social, @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social, and @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social shared at their townhall yesterday. Get ready for a BIG THREAD of great links, NYC!
A ton of amazing resources here.
Brooklyn town hall meeting inside a middle school auditorium with a couple hundred people listening to a line of speakers.
I went to a community town hall meeting today in Brooklyn featuring @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social, @agounardes.bsky.social, @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social, and reps from the @nyclu.bsky.social, @aqeny.bsky.social, and @thenyic.bsky.social, and it was GOOD.
NYC folks, pls follow all these reps & groups!
Bold of you to think weβre not in that state nearly always, especially in our current times.
lol go back to twitter. here we can just block you and never have to hear from you again. bye!
oooh thank you! i totally should have shared it in a reply, thank you for thinking of that. β€οΈ
thousands of people showing up
to tell scared trans kids that they are beautiful and important and belong definitely makes a difference. and the organizers also shared a link for attendees to send messages to NYC hospitals to express outrage over stopping gender affirming care for youth.

the estimate from organizers is that more than 7,000 people showed up to show their love for trans youth! there were speakers as young as 9 years old and i am in awe of their courage.
You canβt post your way out of fascism
Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them

flyer with a blue background and tidy hand-drawn white text reading βrise up for trans youth.β saturday february 8th, union square - 1pm. a space to uplift and empower trans youth and their families. come listen to speakers and show your support. flyer includes cartoon hands raised in the air of various skin tones. one holds a trans flag, another hand is in the form of a fist, another holds a sign reading βprotect trans kids.β another is sticking upright, and the last hand holds an intersex flag. organizer logos are tucked in the lower right bottom of the flyer for act up, gender liberation movement, and transformative schools.
Major demo for trans youth coming up by Act Up, GLM, & Transformative Schools following numerous NYC hospitals preemptively ending gender-affirming care for minors in violation of New York state law, which this past election enshrined trans rights into law.
Saturday at 1pm, Union Square.
Poster announcing a protest in NYC on Sat 2/8. Text from the accompanying insta post: RISE UP FOR TRANS YOUTH! Show UP and show OUT this Saturday at Union Square at 1PM. Be in solidarity with trans youth, their families, educators, and medical professionals providing life-saving healthcare. Get connected to organizations like Transformative Schools, ACT UP NY, & Gender Liberation Movement mobilizing and supporting families and trans youth. Hospitals NYU Langone, New York Presbyterian, and Mt. Sinai (across from union square) are preemptively cancelling appointments for young trans people. This is against NY State Law and against their oaths to do no harm. Show up and demand they reverse their decision immediately!
This Saturday!
Thank you, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, for standing up for trans youth in NY when neither NYC's mayor nor the NY governor have the courage to do so.
The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White Houseβs executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.
Thank you SO MUCH for all that you do. There are virtually NO mainstream media sources we can trust to accurately report on trans issues anymore (if there ever were to begin with), and being able to rely on your reporting is literally lifesaving. Please take care of yourself too!
Itβs a lot of work but Iβm just done with companies that donβt respect data privacy now that weβre in the second Trump era.
The great social media and big tech purge continues. This weekend I switched from the gmail account Iβve had for nearly 20 years to protonmail, switched from Chrome to Firefox, and am in the process of updating contact info everywhere.
Hi Chris! Itβs a lot more chill over here. Twitter is such a garbage fire.
