Thank you to all of the constituents who joined our town hall last week to hear about the work we are doing to fight Trumpβs 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.
Fantastic work
FACT: Trump and his administration are engaged in an aggressive, multi-pronged effort to undermine the 2026 midterms.
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 βgorgeous mosaicβ we call home.
Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our cityβs first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).
I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.
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.

1. The Trump administration is not conducting its deadly immigration crackdown in Minneapolis alone
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.

White text on a black background has the words "Reform, retrain, defund" crossed out. Below, white text reads "Abolish ICE."
It's always been abolish ICE.

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