Four patients went in for outpatient procedures joint replacement surgeries at a Nashville hospital and came out paralyzed or in the ICU after receiving potassium instead of pain medication. A routine procedure should never become a life-altering nightmare. They trusted that hospital with their lives. That trust was broken, and someone must be held accountable.

Since January 2025, more than 600,000 Black women have been pushed out of the labor market. A degree, experience, and a strong work ethic are still not enough to overcome a system built with barriers they never put there. That has to change. brnw.ch/21x4NxF

Today, lawmakers, advocates & directly impacted New Yorkers launched the Robert Brooks Blueprint—a bold agenda to address NY’s prison crisis. The Legislature must act. Pass the Second Look, Earned Time & Marvin Mayfield Acts now. We stand with @BPHACaucus. #CommunitiesNotCages

Before I even knew my own name, I knew the sound of WDKX. It flowed through my house, my kitchen, my front porch — a beat that raised me, a voice that shaped me, a vibe that lived in every room we danced, cleaned the house on Saturday mornings, and dreamed in.
@1039WDKX wasn’t just on the radio, it was the culture, the connection, the cousin at the cookout, the voice whispering hope when the world got loud.
I’m blessed to say that WDKX raised me. Thank you for the memories, the love, and always for being us. #thebeatgoeson

A fabulous evening with talented, award-winning performers, all because of the dedicated service of incredibly talented MCC employees and student leaders who planned a successful event. Your President is *very* proud of you!
Last night, MCC had the honor of hosting “An Evening with Dorinda Clark-Cole,” featuring the incredible talents of Serena Young, Will Bee, and 3x Grammy Winner @DorindaTheRose Clark-Cole! From soul-stirring gospel to uplifting messages, it was an unforgettable celebration of Black History and the power of music and storytelling.
Thank you to our President @DrDeAnnaBNanna, Henry Brown, Paul Boute, Taylor Robinson, Marely Goldberg, Demond Meeks, and everyone who joined us for this special event! 💛🖤

As a proud Club kid, I know firsthand how life-changing the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester can be. It was a safe haven where I learned, grew, and experienced opportunities I never imagined.
Huge thanks to Dwayne Mahoney, the Executive Director, whose fundraising and connections have opened doors for countless kids. He does it all selflessly — just asking that we pay it forward.
Thank you, Mr. Mahoney — your impact will be felt for generations. @CityRochesterNY #BoysAndGirlsclub

ICYMI: Last week, @CountyExecBello & our Albany delegation – @SenatorBrouk, @SenatorCooney, & Assemblymembers @HarryBBronson, @sarahhartclark, Jen Lunsford, & @DemondLMeeks – announced a $1.7M investment in our community's youth.
For young people - a job boosts confidence, helps with family expenses & reduces their likelihood of criminal behavior. ROC Your Job - a collaboration between DHS & @RochesterWorks - will connect 260 income eligible youth between 14 & 20 to employment opportunities.

NEW: I’ve sent a letter to @GovKathyHochul urging her to opt into Summer EBT by the Jan 1st deadline. 2 million NY students would benefit and with hunger on the rise we must act. Thank you to my 31 colleagues, Dems & Republicans who signed on & @NoKidHungryNY for leading.
