I led community meetings, emceed rallies, marched picket lines, and knocked doors for progressive candidates. Together we passed laws like Build Public Renewables Act, Good Cause Eviction, and a minimum wage increase. I’ll truly miss working with this talented team of organizers!

Leqaa Kordia is the last Columbia protester still being held prisoner by ICEβ€”all because she dared to speak out against genocide and in support of Palestine.

We must demand her freedom and safety, and condemn this affront to freedom of speech.

FREE LEQAA NOW!

Last month, I was sworn in as Councilmember for City of Poughkeepsie Ward 8. As a democratic socialist, I believe that government should do more to help working class people. I’ll catch your loose dog, dig your trash can out of snow, and join you in the streets to protest ICE! 🌹

Over 700 people showed up in Chester, NY to protest a proposed ICE detention center. We want money for housing, healthcare, and education, not deportation. Abolish ICE!

I rallied with @mhvdsa.bsky.social at Stewart Airport, where the kidnapped President of Venezuela was flown. Trump is trying to steal oil for his billionaire donors and distract people from the Epstein Files. A majority of Americans oppose this illegal war. We want housing and healthcare, not bombs!

The image shows a group of protestors standing on a snow-covered sidewalk. The central figure, wearing a black jacket and red beanie, speaks into a blue and white megaphone. Around them, several protestors hold signs with messages written in large letters. The group is dressed in winter clothing, including jackets, beanies, and gloves. The sky is overcast, and trees are visible in the background. The scene conveys the atmosphere of a peaceful protest.

The image shows a group of six people standing outside in a snowy setting. They are dressed warmly, wearing coats, hats, and scarves. Three of them are holding protest signs. The person on the far left holds a white sign reading, "NO WAR on Venezuela," while the individual next to them holds another white sign stating, "NO ILLEGAL WAR." On the right, a person holds a red sign with the text "NO MORE BOMBS." The background consists of barren trees and a cloudy sky. The group appears to be participating in a peaceful demonstration.

A group of people is gathered at night on a snow-covered ground, holding various protest signs. In the background, a lit sign for the "New York Air National Guard Stewart ANG Base" is visible. The individuals, dressed warmly in jackets and hats, stand closely together. Some signs include messages like "KIDNAPPED PRESIDENT INSIDE," "NO MORE BOMBS," "NO WAR US OUT OF VENEZUELA," "NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR," and "STAY OUT OF VENEZUELA." The headlights of a vehicle are visible in the distance.

A US Military plane brought President Maduro to Stewart Airport today, while our members held the line outside to make it clear: this war will hurt working people across the globe.

Public ownership of our energy utility, Central Hudson, is not an end, it’s the meansβ€”to keep rates low, empower workers, and get us a 21st century grid. A new study estimates it would also save us money immediately!

The City of Poughkeepsie Republican Committee sent a lying negative mailer against me. I ran a positive campaign focused on the real issues. People want politicians who will fight for them, not billionaires and big corporations. That's why Republicans lost across Dutchess County!

The Dutchess County legislature has been controlled by Republicans for 46 of the last 48 years. But progressives made the difference in flipping control for the first time in 18 years.

PSβ€”With Daniel, the Poughkeepsie Common Council will have a socialist!
