A new year is only a new beginning if we have the courage to begin anew. Let us amass that courage in 2022 to do what’s right in the face of fear.

14 million people lost their unemployment benefits yesterday. 40 million will be at risk of eviction on Friday. It’s been 275 days since the last relief package was signed into law. And the President has been golfing while the @GOP blocks congressional action. This is inhumane.

Some people ask what an old Jewish white guy has in common with young women of color like @AOC, @AyannaPressley, @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib. We understand each other. We come from working class backgrounds. And we’re going to go forward together.

Can we please stop calling it “the issue of race” when what we’re really discussing is “the issue of racism”

Black immigrants are more likely to be detained and deported than the overall immigrant population. Meet Ousman Darboe -- pardoned by @GovCuomo, supported by @AOC & @SenGillibrand -- yet still in ICE detention longer than any NYer. 3 years. 1/4 gothamist.com/news/pardoned-…

Nobody should be subjected to online bullying, and Sen. Carpenter’s actions with regards to Nada Elmikashfi on Saturday night crossed the line. Statement from @wisdems chair @benwikler: – at Wisconsin, USA
Over the weekend, a member of our caucus, Sen. Carpenter, continued a heated discussion he had been having with state senate candidate, Nada Elmikashfi, on social media. I have spoken with Tim, & he recognizes that his behavior crossed a line, and that he behaved inappropriately.

Supporting the families of women whose lives were taken by police is a core tenet of @AAPolicyForum's #SayHerName campaign. Part of that support is uplifting the stories that have been silenced. Join us tonight: bit.ly/AAPFcovid11
When we know the names of the Black women and girls who are killed by police, we can lift up their stories. We can fight for justice and accountability. We can better understand the reach and nature of police violence. #SayHerName RSVP: bit.ly/AAPFcovid11
People really need to ask themselves why their communities chose to erect statues to slaveholders instead of abolitionists.

Yes, please stop telling women what to do...when they are trying to protect themselves...save their own lives. Please figure out what is happening to women, and help do something to stop it.

If you have to train people not to kill me because I’m Black, I’d really prefer you just not give them the power to kill me at all maybe?
