As a Poughkeepsie Councilmember I see how climate change hurts our city. We depend on the Hudson River for drinking water, but extreme rain causes flooding and stormwater runoff creates contamination. NY must build 15 GW of publicly owned renewable energy to fight climate change!

Our movement is growing, and now is our time! MHVDSA members voted overwhelmingly to support an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez run for president. As we face a crisis on every front, home and abroad, we cannot cede ground to a politics of yesterday. Join DSA today and join the fight!

I’ve been speaking out against Flock Mass Surveillance and all ALPRs at Dutchess County Legislature and Poughkeepsie City Council meetings. These 140,000+ connected cameras, which photograph every car, have been used by ICE to hunt immigrants and by cops to stalk people. Get the Flock out!

Criminal prosecutions of Trump officials are generally favored by Dems, with clear majorities indicating support in all cases. Voters also support prosecution of officials from both the Trump and Biden admins over US support for Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The Postal Service is exactly that: a service. One that brings us our medicine, allows us to vote, and reaches every neighbor no matter how rural because it is a service not driven by profit seeking.

BREAKING: Following the killings of two innocent immigrant fathers, I co-authored a letter with @juliasalazar.bsky.social and @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social and signed by 100+ NYS elected officials calling on Schumer, Jeffries, and all congressional Democrats to demand the abolition of ICE. 🧵 1/6
100+ elected officials from across New York State call on Minority Leaders Schumer and Jeffries and all congressional Democrats to: Abolish ICE

Read the full letter, led by State Assemblymember Diana Moreno, State Senator Julia Salazar, and New York City Councilmember Shahana HanifWe are state and local elected officials who represent diverse constituencies throughout New York State, and have witnessed the impact that Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s cruel operations have had on immigrant families and our communities.

The recent killings of two innocent immigrant fathers, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero—following the killings of Silverio Villegas González, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Renée Good, Alex Pretti, and many others by immigration enforcement—show ICE has no regard for public safety, due process, or human decency. Since Trump’s second term began, over fifty people have died in ICE custody, and ICE agents have repeatedly fired their weapons and killed people in their vehicles. ICE has continued to detain and deport thousands of New Yorkers who have contributed to our neighborhoods for decades— separating parents from their children and shipping off high school students. This is an unsustainable degree of impunity, cruelty, and recklessness that cannot be reformed.

While Trump has escalated ICE’s operations, this did not begin with him. Past administrations have been complicit in ICE’s growing abuse of power, and the agency’s cruelty will continue regardless of who sits in the White House. We applaud recent efforts by congressional Democrats to block funding to Trump’s ICE and Border Patrol, but we must go further. We can no longer ignore the threat that ICE, which has only existed since 2002, poses to our communities and to our democracy.
 
For the safety of our constituents and to restore public trust and the rule of law, we call on you and all congressional Democrats to publicly support the abolition of ICE and to leverage your positions to defund and dismantle this rogue federal agency.

It’s July 1. Today, nearly half a million New Yorkers will lose healthcare. Governor Hochul could have stopped this for less than 1% of the final state budget. Instead, she put wealthy donors over our lives.

Today, over 450,000 New Yorkers will be kicked off their
Essential Plan healthcare coverage.
During budget negotiations, we called on Governor Hochul to tax the rich and stop this healthcare catastrophe. She refused.New York's Essential Plan previously covered households making up to 250% of the federal poverty line, or:
$39,900 for a single adult with no children
$80,375 for a family of fourTrump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act decimated healthcare spending.
In response, New York shrunk eligibility for the Essential Plan from 250% to 200% of the federal poverty line.
The change takes effect today.
Nearly half a million will lose insurance.

Central Hudson raised our gas and electric rates again on 7/1, but grid resiliency has gotten worse! Many of my constituents lost power for 3 days. We need the Hudson Valley Power Authority, a public utility that will invest in trimming trees, burying lines, and lowering bills.
