Thank you to all of the constituents who joined our town hall last week to hear about the work we are doing to fight Trump’s cruel immigration policies and how we can invest in The Bronx and Queens.

You ground our work and we are immensely grateful for your support.

Black history is American history. The music, the movements, the sacrifice, the triumph - it has all shaped who we are.

In celebrating Black History Month, let us learn the untold stories and honor those who paved the way for progress.

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the β€œgorgeous mosaic” we call home.

Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims.

We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear.

Never again means never again for anyone.

Blind PureGym Member Says Staffer Told Him to Monitor Door for 'Tailgaters' "The very idea that you would enlist disabled people to effectively perform an ad hoc security detail and to make sure that no one's sneaking into the ADA door is fucking absurd."

A PureGym member who is legally blind and uses a cane says he was told last week that his membership could be canceled under a policy that requires membersβ€”including those using the accessibility doorβ€”to ensure others aren't sneaking in behind them.

The corporate enablers of the ICE crackdown How Amazon, AT&T, and Citizens Bank are profiting from the administration’s mass deportation campaign.

Major corporations, including Amazon, Citizens Bank, and AT&T, are enabling β€” and profiting from β€” the operation.

The people of Minneapolis are reminding me very much of Ned Stark's famous answer when his son asked if someone can be brave if they're afraid.

"That is the only time a man can be brave."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

It's always been abolish ICE.

For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency.

I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

a man with a beard and long hair is standing in the clouds looking at the camera . Alt: William Smith playing Conan's father with wild hair and a bushy beard wearing heaps of leather or hide, turning to and pointing at his sword, telling young Conan (not pictured) "This you can trust."

Know, oh princex, that between the years when the oceans drank Friendster and the GeoCitites, and the years of the rise of the Bots of Xitter, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining communities lay spread across G+ like blue mantles beneath the stars…
