Workers need protection from extreme heat! Grateful for leaders like @AjcheGustavo who help bring this urgent issue to the forefront.

Gustavo Ajche @AjcheGustavo

Extreme heat is forecast over the next few days, and exposure to these conditions poses serious health risks. Yet, thousands of food and medical delivery workers—many of us on bicycles—will still be out on the streets, doing our jobs like every day. Please be kind. Be generous.

If we wait for federal policy in order to make advancements in (universal child care, paid sick days, fill in the blank with anything good), we will be waiting a looooong time.

I just saw the most extraordinary piece of theater. (Have you ever felt sad partway thru a show bc you realize you’ll never get to see it for the first time again?) Seriously go see @BeauMusical; it’s in a tiny theater off Broadway & runs thru July 27. https://t.co/7CuzLZq3oS

So the NY legislative session is over. Can someone who followed it closely share any legislation that passed related to labor or workers' rights? I know a ban on training repayment agreement provisions (TRAPs) passed both houses. What else? Thanks in advance.

I can't believe they're doubling down on this. It's terrifying.

The idea that @bradlander assaulted law enforcement is ridiculous. We all saw the video of what happened. All he did was ask a masked officer to see a judicial warrant. Is that now considered assault?!? PLUS the idea of Brad as violent is laughable to anyone who's ever met him. https://t.co/HqgUcxeXAM

Appalled by ICE's arrest of @bradlander. Brad's a hardworking, smart public servant, and a friend. Arresting political enemies is authoritarian & scary. PS If this is how ICE treats a nerdy white dad in the public eye, imagine how they treat farmworkers, dishwashers & others.

Brad Lander @bradlander

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely. https://t.co/jekaDFjsT1
