NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom just signed a law making California the first state in the nation to prohibit federal law enforcement officers, including ICE, from hiding their identities.

No other major democracy in the world provides life tenure for high court judges. It’s time for Supreme Court term limits. Check out these Brennan Center resources and help spread the word: bit.ly/4851foM

Hollywood writers, on average, are paid $69,510 a year. Bob Iger is paid $74,175 a DAY. That is "very disturbing" to me, Bob.

Here are the facts about @GOP led states they DON’T want you to know: - 8 of the top 10 murder states are red - 7 of the top 10 dependent states on the feds are red They have: - lower life expectancy - higher infant mortality - higher maternal mortality

Yesterday, students walked out around U.S. to protest gun violence. You wouldn't know that from @washingtonpost today. That is why we follow @democracynow, in news⬇️. Young people are fighting for a better world. They deserve our support & attention. democracynow.org/2023/4/6/headl…

Every media outlet going to Nashville is voyeurism, not journalism. Instead, go all over U.S. & to Congress. Hold elected leaders accountable. Expose hypocrisy of "protecting" kids with book bans while refusing to truly protect them from guns, racism, toxic chemicals, & more.

Interesting campaign by @ADL, @AgudahNews, and other Haredi organizations urging community members in English and in Yiddish to be sensitive when dressing up in Purim costumes and against hanging effigies for Haman. In previous years such incidents led to major public outcries.

If you live in NY, CALL Hochul NOW: 518-474-8390 It takes 2 min. Say "I'm a constituent, I voted for the Governor. I'm glad she won, but the Dems' losses across the state are a disgrace. Jay Jacobs needs to be replaced immediately." Press 3 then 2 to be connected to a human.

If you are a Democrat anywhere in America who is frustrated that we’ll lose the House by so few seats: NY House losses were the reason & the man who theoretically could have averted this is named Jay Jacobs. And now we’re going to have him replaced, for proper accountability.

Happy 108th birthday to "Mother" Lessie Benningfield Randle — one of the last know surviving members of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre! Please join me in wishing her a joyous birthday and continuing to demand #JusticeForGreenwood! 📷: @TheBWSTimes

@BlackVotersMtr @jemelehill @TiffanyDCross You were the only reason why I watched @MSNBC on Saturdays. Will follow you wherever you go!

HALLOWEEN PARADE 🎃👻 Nyack's Halloween parade made a return after a two-year pause. Ghouls, ghosts and goblins all turned out along the parade route, dressed to impress and dancing to Halloween-themed songs. bit.ly/3zwtw89

Remember Divas, A picture is truly worth 1000 words!

BREAKING: Thank you to the @nytimes for bringing the institutional educational neglect of children in Haredi and Hasidic schools to the front page. We’ve been fighting for these students for years — it’s time for the world to take action. #YeshivaGate nyti.ms/3RBVNB5

Registered NABJ-NAHJ attendees, join me and director Nadia Hallgren on 8/4 for a Las Vegas screening of “Civil” — a documentary following my life and social advocacy work in the years 2020 and 2021 — and a candid conversation about the film.

This afternoon, our chair, @morris_pearl delivered a petition to senators demanding the federal minimum wage be raised to $15/hr. Workers have been stifled under $7.25/hr for thirteen years. As inflation skyrockets and corporations profit from greed, we need Congress to act.
