Hochul wants to “identify opportunities to enlist employers“ to solve the child care crisis. Sounds like folks should let her know we can do that by reversing Trump’s corporate tax cuts in NY 👀 #SOTS #TaxTheRich

Met up w/ Ms. Rachel and Mayor Zohran Mamdani as we prepare to roll out free child care for two-year-olds in NYC ✨ @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov

What we’ve won today will change lives — and it’s just the beginning. We won’t let up until child care is free for all across the state and child care workers are paid fairly as educators.

The legislature is back in session! Let’s go win this Universal Child Care Act!

Trump’s trying to punish people who didn’t vote for him & doesn’t care that he’s also hurting some who did. 

But coming for NYers is foolish; try to stomp on us & we’ll fight that much harder to protect each other—and we’ll win Universal Child Care while we’re at it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/u...

The Brooklyn Navy Yard’s lease agreements with Easy Aerial and Crye Precision are a moral failure and a betrayal of public trust. I’ll be with the DBNY Coalition tomorrow at 8:30am outside Building 92. See you there. ✊🏾🇵🇸

ESD’s failure to ensure the creation of these affordable units & choice to waive the fine is outrageous—and bitterly unsurprising. They’re not prioritizing commitments to the public; they’re serving the real estate corps looking to profit off our city. t.co/yEDYt7LX3n

Met with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @warren.senate.gov this weekend to talk Universal Child Care plans for New York. Big things are brewing ❤️

When the political establishment said this was impossible, thousands of New Yorkers came together to make it happen anyway. I’m so proud to be in this movement with all of you ❤️✊🏾🌹

We must all stand against President Trump’s attack on Iran and the destruction of lives in pursuit of global domination.

We need a special session. Our people cannot wait.

At Federal Plaza with elected officials, orgs, and NYers demanding the release of Brad Lander. Abolish ICE.

His name is Zohran MAMDANI put some respect on his name, Cuomo.

The power is out at our district office; there may be some delays in outreach from our office, but if you want to get in touch while phones are down you can email [email protected]

Cuomo says he’ll regulate delivery apps. Door Dash is betting a million dollars in donations to his campaign that he won’t.

A reminder that politicians pushing deportation don’t actually care about legality or citizenship; they want the power to eliminate and silence people of color at will.

NYC is about to return to using “tax lien sales” for the first time since 2020. 🚨Deadline to get your home off the list is June 2nd.🚨 More info & support at bit.ly/endlien

Tax the Rich. Name the Rich. Oppose the Rich. I vote no.

Other City Councils all over the US can directly remove a mayor when egregious situations come up — they don’t have to wait on a governor. Am. Harvey Epstein & I just introduced a state bill to give our City Council that power too.

Let’s reverse President Trump’s Corporate Tax Cut; tell @Governor.ny.gov to fight back by passing the Corporate Tax bill in this year’s state budget. W/ @juliasalazar.bsky.social & @emilyassembly.bsky.social

Gov. Hochul has fiercely opposed raising taxes on the wealthy in every budget negotiation. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

A group of NYers were just arrested at the State Capitol during a peaceful protest calling on Gov. Hochul to provide statewide housing assistance for people with HIV/AIDS. *Unstable housing is the single strongest predictor of failed HIV treatment.* @housingworksnyc.bsky.social

This is an ✨all of us together moment✨ w/ @phara4assembly.bsky.social & @claireforqueens.bsky.social 🌹

Outside the US, tax filing is free & simple for most citizens of wealthy countries. Here, tax-filing companies have lobbied congress to prevent that, so they can profit off the struggle. While we fight capitalist tax-profiteering, Brooklynites can sign-up for free tax service at bit.ly/bktaxprep

New York might become the next state to pass legislation making us more vulnerable to contagious diseases. It’s in the works right now, so this is the moment to speak up. #publichealth #politics #nurses

BREAKING: President Trump is now dismantling one of America’s most important child care programs. If you don’t want to see parents become unemployed & kids trapped in poverty, we have to fight for Head Start. My full statement:

In case she missed it at the Capitol, Big Baby joined us at the Governor's Manhattan office to remind her to ✨fund child care.✨ #FundChildCareNY #parents #childcare #education

NY passed a vital expansion of child care assistance in 2023—BUT under Gov. Hochul’s current budget plan 🚨NY will not have enough child care workers OR assistance funding to back that🚨 We’re here demanding child care workforce investment AND increased voucher funding. NY needs child care.

🚨 We're hiring! 🚨 Looking for a part-time Legislative Assistant (18 hrs/week) to join our team. If you're passionate about policy, research and making a difference in our State government, apply now! 📜🔥 Details at bit.ly/JabariJobs

President Trump is attempting to eliminate the Dept. of Education today because he wants the public vulnerable, under-educated, and easy to manipulate. Here’s my full statement:

In the age of Trump, threats to academic freedom (usually made w/ disingenuous justifications) are increasingly common & dangerous; NY can't let that fly.
 Here's our joint letter on Gov. Hochul’s efforts to interfere at CUNY, & the removal of a Palestinian studies job listing: bit.ly/CUNYLETTER

To start rebuilding the left, Democrats have to prove they’ll: 1️⃣ Back words with *real* action 2️⃣ Pass bold policies that transform working-class lives 3️⃣ Build a healthy economy that works for everyone Funding Universal Child Care in New York would do all 3.

I didn’t expect Schumer to demonstrate my point quite so dramatically 6 hours after I gave this speech, but here we are. Caving to the right shouldn’t even be on the table.

For decades, the Democratic party has traded away its credibility as a stronghold for working-class people nation-wide. To recover, we need to rapidly – and entirely – divorce our party from the ultra-rich and their corporations.

Today Trump’s “Border Czar” showed up at the our state capitol to try to bully us into backing Trump. They’re all about “state’s rights” until they want to control your state.

This surveillance robot was walking around the capitol today to normalize something that should not ever be normal. Your government should not be a faceless omni-present surveillance force. #democracy #politics #surveillancecapitalism

Mahmoud Khalil protested the US Govt for financing the murder of his people. Abducting him in the night, taking him away from his pregnant wife, and refusing to share his location is an attack on free speech and blatant fascism.

Being anti-Trump isn’t enough to turn the tide. We have to make our case by passing universal programs, in states Dems control, that radically address working-class issues. www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025...

@empirestateccc.bsky.social surveyed more than 1,250 child care programs across New York State and it’s painfully clear that we need to *rapidly* invest in the childcare workforce. We need a permanent workforce fund in the state budget to address child care deserts and build up Universal Child Care.

It’s a beautiful day to unionize.

If you want to fight fascism & attacks against Black people: socialism is how we win that fight. #AddToBlackSky

Andrew Cuomo worked with Republicans to systematically defund New York. He is a bully and a creep who’s hoping we’ve forgotten. We haven’t.

Donald Trump. Eric Adams. Andrew Cuomo.

How do you balance protecting your safety / external peace with speaking your truth / being your whole self as a Black person in a world that views Blackness as dangerous? Interesting food for thought in this film. Curious to hear your thoughts or what you’re watching this #blackhistorymonth !

Sharing thoughts on radical Black films for Black History Month because in moments like these we shouldn’t underestimate the importance of art; it has the power to restore us, help us understand & connect with each other, & keep us resilient in the fight for liberation #movies #civilrights #singsing

A new thing: I’m on Bluesky now ( Hi! )
 A not-at-all new thing: Eric Adams is deeply terrible & should not be Mayor.
