When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

On why the Trump administration is targeting international students, the Haitian community in Ohio, and other migrants with legal status.

If the administration’s goal is to reduce the number of immigrants in the country, these initiatives are somewhat counter-intuitive, as the targeted communities are not the most vulnerable migrants lacking legal status, while many undocumented people continue to labor in fields and meatpacking plants in red states across the country. The goal of these efforts, then, should not be seen as attempting to limit immigration entirely. Rather, they are efforts to render migrants more vulnerable. The attack on student visa holders, for instance, can be understood as an effort to prevent the expansion and stabilization of a class of educated migrants with access to higher-wage jobs. In other cases, the attack represents an effort to prevent admission with paths to legal status or to eliminate the contingent, pre-citizen statuses that have been granted by the state. These efforts, which overwhelmingly focus on black and brown migrants, lead to deportation, sometimes in contravention of law, and expand the migrant precariat.
