@bradlander.bsky.socialReposted by @lidbk.bsky.socialWe’re sick of ICE terrorizing our neighbors. Sick of it. Like the brave people of Minneapolis, we have zero tolerance for federal agents lawlessly unleashing violence on our streets.
@tiffanycaban.bsky.socialReposted by @lidbk.bsky.socialI am heartbroken and furious that ICE have shot one of our beloved neighbors yet again. Every day that this rogue agency continues to roam our streets, tearing families apart, and holding our loved ones in camps, we see more tragedies like these.
@lidbk.bsky.socialGreat to see this from @mayor.nyc.gov and NYC DOHMH! Supporting youth gender-affirming care is more important than ever in the face of a transphobic federal government and private healthcare systems unwilling to stand up for trans dignity and justice.
@patrickhart.bsky.socialReposted by @lidbk.bsky.socialGreat to see NYC supporting youth gender-affirming care! So needed in a time of federal transphobia and private hospital cowardice.
@lidbk.bsky.socialYesterday's undemocratic action by the Brooklyn Democratic Party's former leadership was not a legal vote and has no bearing on the leadership of the Brooklyn Democratic Party. We look forward to a proper vote for Party Chair that honors the will of the voters soon.
@michaelcaley.bsky.socialReposted by @lidbk.bsky.sociallast night, 13 Brooklyn Dems leaders held a meeting and claim they elected a new chair how many ways was this illegal? -RBH is not the party leader, Nydia Velazquez is -the majority of "voters" at this meeting are not elected DLs -there is a specific order enjoining against holding an ExCo meeting

@lidbk.bsky.socialThe Brooklyn Democratic Party machine continues to violate the law and deny the will of the voters. The party needs to respect the will of the voters and stop trying to nullify election results!
@genderlib.comReposted by @lidbk.bsky.socialAs hospitals across the country cave to the Trump administration’s threats to cut federal funding and abandon trans youth, actor Elliot Page speaks out. In New York City, NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian abruptly ended care for trans kids in response to these threats.
@lidbk.bsky.socialCourts have consistently held that the County Dem Party leadership's attempts to cling to power are illegal. It's past time to honor the will of the voters and move forward with @juliopenabk.com as Chair!
@newkingsdems.bsky.socialReposted by @lidbk.bsky.socialA State Supreme Court judge has issued a temporary restraining order canceling the Party Chair’s planned meeting of her illegally expanded executive committee tonight. This is yet another legal repudiation of her attempt to overturn the election.
@bkforge.bsky.socialReposted by @lidbk.bsky.socialWe raised $11,000 for @movementvoter.bsky.social! 80 people attended our fundraiser to hear @bradlander.bsky.social and MVP leaders speak about the importance of working toward a progressive future together. Thanks again to cohosts @lidbk.bsky.social, @bkindivisible.bsky.social and Arts4Choice.
@lidbk.bsky.socialSo glad to be part of this wonderful event!
@lidbk.bsky.socialThe key thing is that the Brooklyn Democratic Party needs to honor the will of the voters. That means the newly elected District Leaders should be the ones selecting the new Party Chair, and that chair should be @juliopenabk.com -- the clear choice of a majority of duly-elected District Leaders!
@newkingsdems.bsky.socialReposted by @lidbk.bsky.socialLet us be clear: Brooklyn needs a fair vote by the elected District Leaders. The Chair attempting to pick her own successor after she lost an election isn’t democracy, it's cronyism, and the illegal rules changes she has fought to enact would permanently end democratic oversight of our party.
@patrickhart.bsky.socialReposted by @lidbk.bsky.socialThis 100%. Whoever else may or may not decide to run, @juliopenabk.com is the choice of the district leaders elected by voters across Brooklyn and if respecting election results means anything, he should be our next Party Chair. Plus, he's an amazing leader who will be an awesome chair!
