There is no bigger champion for working people in New York than @TishJames!
So proud to support this fearless, powerhouse woman for another term as our Attorney General!

Let's conclude this Wednesday afternoon on a positive note. The "Boogie Down" #Bronx will receive the largest share of a new $30M #NewYork state investment in #Latino/#Latina serving nonprofit organizations. Learn more @bronxtimes. #NYC.

This a problem everywhere, and this video does an incredible job of highlighting the callousness at every turn.
It’s also a stunning capture of the failure of government to meet its charge.
People don’t care about others? Fine. But government is supposed to do something.

New York law says survivors must "request" an NDA. In reality, workers are often told they'll get a settlement only if they agree to silence. That's not consent. That's coercion dressed up as choice. Read more from @Sen_Gounardes & @AmandaSeptimo timesunion.com/opinion/artic…

Por demasiado tiempo, nuestras comunidades latinas han sido ignoradas y tomadas por sentadas.
En Albany, trabajaré con @AmandaSeptimo para asegurar que los latinos tengan una voz fuerte.

The Super Bowl halftime show didn’t feel like a protest. It felt like a homecoming.
Bad Bunny could have gone another route. He could have used the stage to confront. He could have named names. He could have turned the moment into a culture-war headline.
Instead, Benito chose something far more powerful: a celebration of Latino identity as it actually lives and breathes in the United States, and in AMERICA.

That was beautiful, it is the most Latino thing I have ever seen on TV. There are many of us that were tearing up with Pride. Orgullo Latino! #SuperBowlLX

That was so beautiful and wholesome and inherently political just by existing and being brilliant

¡Benito la rompió! Es la resistencia.
Por el orgullo de ser latino y cantar en español 👊👊👊

Stay out of Puerto Rico while you're at it! 🇵🇷🇵🇷 Hater!
Purposefully turning off the halftime show
Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences
(which equals viewership for them)
You are their benefit. Realize you have power.
Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
People who live in Puerto Rico has been identified as US citizens since 1917.
Additionally, Jake Paul, who has lived in Puerto Rico since 2021, still would technically qualify as a US citizen.

Everything about Bad Bunny’s performance makes me so proud to be Latina.
He centered joy, pride, culture, and resistance in a moment where the essence of our community is under attack. It’s hard to put words to the power of this moment.
Bravo y gracias @sanbenito. ❤️
We don’t need contingency plans for @nynurses, we need a fair contract that honors the sacrifice these workers make every single day!
#SafeStaffingSavesLives and in this moment, supporting New Yorkers means getting to a deal not making patchwork contingency plans!
Patient safety is nurses' #1 concern.
It’s irresponsible for hospitals to force nurses on strike and rely on inadequate contingency plans to care for patients.
We don't want replacement nurses here, we want a fair contract now!
You go to the hospital because you’re feeling sick? A nurse has your back.
You’re sitting by the bedside of a loved one? A nurse has your back.
You’re trying to make sense of a health crisis? A nurse has your back.
@nynurses always have our backs—and you better believe we have theirs.

CNN is both-sidesing today’s execution by saying that maybe “both sides” were panicked. To live in America today is to be constantly told not to believe anything you see with your own fucking eyes.

ICE murdered a legal observer in Minneapolis today, denied her medical care, are now lying to justify the murder- calling her a “domestic terrorist” - despite clear cell footage showing the lie, & people on the right are still parsing the video arguing ICE was justified.
