This blizzard reminds us how crucial city government workers are to our safety. We must ensure NYC has the revenue needed for emergency readiness and climate resilience. With extreme climate events getting stronger and more frequent, we must TAX THE RICH to keep our city safe.

This storm is no small thing. While most of the city sleeps, thousands of workers have been out there — plowing streets, clearing tracks, restoring power, responding to emergencies, and keeping our neighborhoods safe.

Good morning, NYC.

Snowfall: 8”-15” last night.

Forecast: More snow until early afternoon.

I know we’re collectively SO over the snow, and this snowstorm feels rude ah, but please prepare for the snow before it hits on Sunday. Find Warming Centers at on.nyc.gov/warmingcenters In AD-36: Long Island City High School 14-30 Broadway, Astoria Open: Sunday 7am- Monday 8pm

🧵 our allied elected officials, @votejgr.bsky.social + @dianaforqueens.com, along with our allies in the fight, @aqeny.bsky.social & Center for Anti-violence education, showed up for immigrant and working class NYers. Both elected officials vowed to push for #NY4All & #InvestInOurNY in Albany!

✊NY must combat federal attacks & invest in essential services! Last night, our community members gathered in our Queens office for a POWERFUL Town Hall. At a time when our communities are under attack by the fed gov with policies that tear apart immigrant families and bankrupt working families, 🧵

“This money that belongs to us is being used to terrorize our communities,” affirmed Assembly Member @dianaforqueens.com. NY cannot continue to aid & abet ICE’s reign of terror, and only one legislation can stop this: the New York for All Act! #NY4All

A week after Trump removed the Pride flag from Stonewall, NYU Langone capitulated to fascists and shattered their gender-affirming care program. New Yorkers re-raised the Pride flag at Stonewall, and we're going to fight like hell so trans youth get their healthcare back, too.

Ramadan Mubarak! I want to extend my warmest well wishes to our Muslim neighbors across Assembly District 36 and our city who are commemorating this month of fasting. May your fasting be a joyful, enriching experience for you and your families.

Last week, we held our very first meeting in our new Albany office, with a group of @naswny.bsky.social social work students advocating for their profession. At a time when care work is devalued at the federal level, NY has a responsibility to support students pursuing professions in care!

Leqaa Kordia is the last Columbia protester still being held prisoner by ICE—all because she dared to speak out against genocide and in support of Palestine. We must demand her freedom and safety, and condemn this affront to freedom of speech. FREE LEQAA NOW!

In 2015, I interned with @maketheroadny.bsky.social as part of their Worker Rights Program. Today, I was proud to stand with them as an Assemblymember to demand the passage of New York for All to end NY's collaboration with ICE. In this moment of crisis, we must be BOLD. ¡Sí se puede!

On Tuesday night, we won our election by 57 points. On Wednesday morning, I traveled to the New York State Capitol to be sworn into office and seated as the Assemblymember for the 36th District. I'll be back in Albany tomorrow to continue fighting for the people of Astoria and Long Island City.

Socialists come in all sizes 🎳

Live now with Hasan Piker and @claireforny.bsky.social!

"What we do is we organize. DSA members and DSA electeds know that the power is on the streets with constituents who are well-organized, knocking doors if necessary to get the Governor to tax the rich.” Thank you, Bobby Cuza and @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social's Inside City Hall, for having me on!

An easy victory for DSA organizer, and Democratic nominee, Diana Moreno in the legislative race to replace Mamdani: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/n...

Mayor Mamdani stopped by his successor Diana Moreno’s election night party to congratulate her on her decisive victory. (She got over 70% of the vote, while her closest opponent got less than 20%). www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

Congratulations to @dianaforqueens.com - Astoria and Long Island City’s new assemblywoman!

In a few short months, @DianaforQueens built an incredible coalition and ran a movement campaign that earned nearly 75% of the vote last night. I'm grateful that she will serve out my term in the Assembly, and hopefully many to come. Astoria is in good hands.

One day after being sworn in and casting my first votes in Albany, and two days after winning our election, I came back to Astoria and went straight to a town hall with @aoc.bsky.social. It’s a privilege to get to serve our community at this pivotal moment. And we are not slowing down!

Last night, @aoc.bsky.social stopped by IS 10 to discuss the needs of working families. She was joined by @dianaforqueens.com, who is only on her second day representing NY36! Both leaders understand the power of public education and what it takes to stand up for our teachers. #UnionStrong

A brand new Socialist in Office has arrived in Albany 🫡 Congratulations, @dianaforqueens.com — and to the voters of the 36th District for electing such a powerful champion for the working class.

Right after I took office today, I co-sponsored my first bill, a centerpiece of our campaign & close to my heart: the New York for All Act. Assemblymember Karines Reyes has long championed this critical legislation. We must prohibit state & local cooperation with Trump's deportation machine.

Today, I had the distinct honor of taking office as the Assemblymember for the 36th Assembly District—and it feels a lot like the first day of school!

Thank you, Queens! Today, Astoria and Long Island City voted to send a socialist immigrant mom to the New York State Assembly. Our movement is headed to Albany. I’m ready to make you proud.

Astoria and Long Island City, you have less than three hours left to vote!

We launched this campaign 78 days ago. And in those 78 days, we have built something truly beautiful together. It was an honor to be accompanied by my family, friends, and supporters as I pushed my 1-year-old son down Steinway to cast my ballot for our movement. You can do the same until 9pm today!

This morning, I was joined by family, friends, supporters, and volunteers as we walked down Steinway to cast our ballots for Assembly. Now, I'm asking you to join me by voting before 9pm—to fight Trump's authoritarianism and continue our movement for a Queens we can afford.
