We got word that Andrew Cuomo was staging a photo op at the Peter Cardella Senior Center. When he found out grieving families and medical professionals were there to tell the attendees how Cuomo caused the deaths of thousands of seniors, he cancelled. Coward can’t face us!

🚨URGENT! 100,000s home care workers have gone w/o pay for WEEKS, causing disabled & aging home care consumers to lose life-saving care. @GovKathyHochul's cruel CDPAP plan comes at a great human cost. NYers—call your state legislators & ask them to intervene. actionnetwork.org/forms/call-you…

🚨🧵COUNTDOWN TO CHAOS: Tomorrow, PPL takes over ALL home care for 280,000 disabled & elderly NYers. Half still haven't enrolled. @GovKathyHochul says it's easy to sign up. Here are the nightmare stories from real NYers who've tried: #DelayTheDeadline

🚨🧵A CRISIS IN THE MAKING: Today, all FIs in NY begin shutting down. 100,000s of NYers are on the verge of losing home care. @GovKathyHochul claims it’s easy to transition care over to PPL. Here’s the truth, direct from consumers— #DelayTheDeadline actionnetwork.org/forms/call-gov…

🚨BREAKING: PPL’s “headquarters” are a farce. Home care users are at the company’s supposed NY HQ - but the “office” is just an empty space under construction. In only 2 weeks, PPL is set to take over home care for 100s of thousands of NYers. This is a disaster in the making.

Republicans' budget has a fundamental math problem. An $880 billion cut is an attack on Medicaid, not “waste,” “fraud,” and “abuse.” Let’s be clear—anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid.

It really is this easy. President Biden can do it. Check out the American Bar Association's ⚖️ August 2024 memo on the status (spoiler: it’s DONE) of our 28th Amendment. voteequality.us/faq/aba-resolu…

Think our Constitution includes gender equality? It does not. But enough states have fully ratified the Equal Rights Amendment that President Biden can instruct our National Archivist to do her job and publish it NOW! Check comments below for things YOU can do. #PublishEquality

Send a postcard to President Biden—ideally by Dec 10th, the 101 year anniversary of the introduction of the ERA in the U.S. Congress. Share a photo with your postcard and tag it with #PublishEquality. Text three friends and urge them to do the same! voteequality.us/activate/write…

@larrywilmore Great ep as always, Larry. But that story Jesse Owen’s told about his friendship with Luz Long wasn’t true. Revisionist history did a two-parter in it recently; well worth a listen podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rev…

"Without access to consumer-directed care, my neighbors would be left trying to access traditional home care. Since New York has the worst shortage of home care workers in the nation, many of them would come up short." TY @DavidWeprin! #CDPAisEssential qns.com/2024/04/op-ed-…

"As a nurse and the proud daughter of a home health care worker, I know how crucial these workers are." Home care in NYS is under attack in this year's budget. Read this touching story & call to action from Assembly member @phara4assembly cityandstateny.com/opinion/2024/0…
