NEW: Today Gov. Hochul announced a measure intended to limit local law enforcement from aiding ICE's deportation agenda. But a bill that would fully end collusion w/ ICE—and do more to protect immigrant NYers—already exists: the New York for All Act. It's time for state leadership to pass it, now.
Press release from the New York for All coalition in response to Governor Hochul's proposed bill addressing protections for immigrants, and calling for the passage of the New York for All Act.

The weekend's breakthrough story is one of grit, dedication, and determination playing out on dirt roads and small towns all across the country. It’s the story of Red State Dems refusing to be quiet, even if speaking up comes at a cost. I wanted to make sure you saw them. They deserve to be seen.

About Red States on #NoKings: Red State Dems often feel invisible. Unseen. But we are here. We’re doing the work. Often in hostile places. In the places nobody else dares to go. Despite gerrymanders, voter suppression, and without support. But we keep showing up. Don’t count us out. Count us in.

Definitely good advice. There's a full-day seminar here but here's 2 other points: > Be positive: Don't tell me what you're against - tell me what you're for. > Answer the question, "What's in it for me?" Make abstract ideas (being pro-democracy) into personal benefits (your freedom).

The Trump administration is offering cash to local law enforcement in exchange for "locating" our immigrant neighbors through the 287(g) program. Taxpayer dollars are better spent investing in programs that actually keep our communities safe — not fueling mass deportations.

A 42-year-old man has died while in ICE custody at a jail in Nassau County - the first known death of an ICE detainee under Nassau custody. This is tragic. ICE and the County must be transparent and forthcoming as this is investigated and should do all it can to protect people in its custody.

Good. The AG is right to sue the Trump admin over its attacks on gender-affirming care for young people. Next, Governor Hochul should sign S.4914-B, which will improve the state's existing "shield law" to ensure that people can access and provide gender-affirming care knowing NY has their backs.

My basic theory on the roots of Trump’s polling slide? As the mom of a middle-schooler, I don’t think Trump’s problem is based on a particular policy or issue. His problem is that he is no longer cool.
