We’re fighting for a world where working people have the power to shape our neighborhoods, workplaces, and society. And as democratic socialism becomes increasingly popular across the country, our task is to transform that momentum into long-lasting power in the Hudson Valley.

The right is saddling our post offices and its workers with slowdowns, underfunding, and threats of privatization. We’re proud to stand with @apwu.bsky.social members around the Hudson Valley to fight back against these attacks on the Postal Service!

Mid-Hudson Valley DSA @mhvdsa.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
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.

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.
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.
