🔴 With the legislature back in session, it’s clear socialists are leading the way in Harrisburg! The Governor’s budget includes funding for bold programs created by DSA electeds. 🧵

Worker protections, public services, and our hard-won rights are under attack. It’s time to fight back with the best tools we have: solidarity and collective action. Join me at the Hands Off rally at City Hall tomorrow, Saturday April 5th, at noon ✊🏾

Tomorrow, SEPTA is expected to announce some grim news: fare hikes, drastic service cuts, and the elimination of crucial bus and rail lines. These cuts would be a disaster for working people who rely on public transit to get to work, school, the grocery store—everywhere.

Proud to stand with my union family and demand a stop to the federal funding cuts! Read The Daily Pennsylvanian to find out what happened when Danny Bauder and I tried to deliver a letter to Sen. McCormick on behalf of 50,000 union workers... thedp.com/article/2025/0…

We are all connected by SEPTA. Service cuts and fare hikes would be catastrophic for our city—devastating union jobs, exposing workers to greater precarity, and hurting working families and communities most of all. Tomorrow, join us to stand up for SEPTA! ✊🏾

Today, in the rain, I was joined by hundreds of Pennsylvanians fired up and ready to fight to save our public transit. In one united voice, we called for the General Assembly to fully fund SEPTA. This is just the start of a season of action on all public transit in PA!

To read the late political scientist James C. Scott “is to feel the fatalistic sense that civilization may have been botched from the beginning,” Nikil Saval writes. “But it is also to be hopeful.” newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

All of us deserve to move through our streets safely. Proud to join Senators Flynn, Kearney, Miller, and Williams in introducing legislation to authorize the use of parking-protected bike lanes on state roads. Protected bike lanes make us all safer, no matter how we get around.

Earlier this month, 250+ union members, organizers, and activists packed the house for the Philly premiere of UNION—the powerful doc on Amazon workers’ fight to unionize in Staten Island.

International Workers’ Day is a commemoration of the fight for dignity and personhood against the forces that try to demean, atomize, and dehumanize us in pursuit of profit. Beyond a celebration of unions, May Day honors the martyrs who fought and died for the 8-hour workday. 🧵

Mobility is crucial to a community’s social and economic wellbeing and to a region’s health and vitality. The PA legislature has underfunded our transit agencies FOR YEARS. Proud to introduce the Transit for All Funding Package with Lindsey Williams. Via Action News on 6abc and Caroline Goggin

Members of the PA Senate & House Philadelphia delegations sent a letter to UPS management in support of truck drivers who've been forced to work in dangerous conditions. Driver safety is a key component of their union contract. It’s past time for UPS to uphold this commitment.

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani and his thousands of grassroots supporters for their extraordinary campaign. You took on the political, economic and media Establishment- and you beat them. Now it’s on to victory in the general election.

Elated, immeasurably proud, and frankly in tears over the victory of my friend and comrade Zohran Kwame Mamdani. His was a campaign of utmost integrity, relentlessly focused on the struggles of the working-class. Grateful at what he’s done and will do for his city and our country.
