After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

It's deeply meaningful to receive a 100% rating from @ppesacts.bsky.social/@ppgnyact.bsky.social. I learned political activism watching my mother fight for abortion access and hearing her stories of going to Albany to demand reproductive rights. I can't wait to take that fight to Albany myself.

Mayor Mamdani's housing plan is live! There's big sweeping YIMBY stuff: -Aggressive TOD upzoning -Major permitting reform -Rescuing & transforming NYCHA They're also looking at finer details, like fixing the FDNY inspections that so often delay CofO issuance (& invite petty corruption)

Black voters are being diluted into powerlessness by MAGA states, as Trump tries to entrench GOP control of Congress permanently. New York MUST do more to fight back—but Democratic leaders have "no appetite" to treat this democratic crisis with the urgency required. Enough.

The New York State Assembly continues to be the place where good housing policy goes to die www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

"To get a bad report back and then not fix it was bad. To promise to release it and then walk that back was worse.... From top to bottom: This was pure incompetence....Ken [Martin] cannot and should not stay DNC chair." – @amandalitman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/amandali...

I remember when pizza, bagels, and coffee all cost a buck—and I'm no dinosaur. It's not just lunch. From housing to childcare to Con Ed. skyrocketing costs aren't just inflation—they’re the result of bad policy. We deserve better. Let's deliver lower costs for Lower Manhattan.

The Chambers J/Z station is one of the oldest stations in New York City's transit system — and it doesn't look like it's been touched by the MTA since it was built. But thanks to congestion pricing, it's getting a huge upgrade, reports @davecolon.bsky.social. youtube.com/shorts/0t2DN...

The grassroots @opennewyork.org community knows the rent is too damn high—and they've been working for years to change that. I've been proud to fight alongside them to legalize more homes, speed affordable housing creation, and protect tenants. Let's take the fight to Albany 💪

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 I'm deeply honored to have the support of my home club, @sdnyc.bsky.social, in this race. Stonewall works tirelessly to ensure queer folks can thrive in NYC, fighting for the housing, healthcare, and human rights we deserve. Let's keep up the fight in Albany—and win 💪🌈

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT! 🚨 Proud to have Council Member Shirley Aldebol in our corner. Shirley has spent decades winning for workers at @32bjseiu.bsky.social and City Hall. We both believe working people deserve more than promises—they deserve results. That's the kind of fight I'm taking to Albany 💪

If you're a registered voter in Manhattan's 3rd City Council District, today's your last chance to vote early before Tuesday's special election. For the inside scoop on why we co-endorsed Lindsey Boylan and Carl Wilson, along with links to voting info, visit www.streetspac.org/council_dist....

We’ve become way too inured to the constant violence because of all of the people in power who revel in it. What a joyless, artless, sexless, rudderless country we became so fast.

Sorry, but if you’re mad that the Southern Poverty Law Center paid informants to infiltrate Nazi groups to expose them, then you are a Nazi.

Cities are not museums

Absurd that this is how the NYPD is treating a council member protecting a tenant in an active deed theft dispute. We need answers from the commissioner, and we need @chiosse.bsky.social released immediately.

"We're not trying to take away your car, we're not trying to send you to prison, we're just trying to change your behavior so you don't kill people." Making a few thousand brazenly dangerous drivers obey speed limits is common sense. Unless you're Assembly Speaker. hellgatenyc.com/stop-super-s...

LOVE this collaboration of @nywfp.bsky.social candidates. Check out (and zoom in) on the group photo. 2 things stand out for me. Each candidate is holding someone else’s sign and the incredible diversity of that canvassing crew. @bradlander.bsky.social @yuhline.bsky.social @ryderkessler.bsky.social

Another weekend hitting the doors with fellow @nywfp.bsky.social candidates @yuhline.bsky.social & @ryderkessler.bsky.social. We love this city and we love fighting for working families! Two months until the primary. Come out and volunteer: mobilize.us/landerforcongress

I'm thrilled to be endorsed by @chiosse.bsky.social 💪 Chi shows what true progressive leadership looks like in 2026—from connecting the dots between the housing shortage and landlord power to ending forced broker fees. I can't wait to collaborate with him as an Assembly Member.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 I am so proud to have earned the endorsement of @32bjseiu.bsky.social, the more than 80,000 essential building workers who are the backbone of this city. They show up every day to keep our state moving, and they deserve a fighter in Albany who shows up for them.

The lesson of Passover is to welcome the stranger, remembering that we were once strangers in Egypt. This Pesach, let’s recommit to making New York a place where everyone can be free. Chag Sameach!

A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT! 🚨 It’s an honor to be endorsed by the Hotel & Gaming Trades Council 🏨✊ HTC’s 40,000 members make NYC run as the capital of the world—and HTC fights tirelessly to make sure they get what they deserve. I’m all in on that fight. Let’s get to work.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

THERE’S A BIG HOLE IN MIDTOWN! By reopening the GPP the Governor can: ✅ build new affordable housing ✅ increase public safety ✅ create a grand new park ➕ so much more Let’s get this done!

City Council Majority Leader @shaunabreu.bsky.social is a courageous and effective legislator—delivering cleaner, safer streets and more abundant, affordable housing. He knows the old approaches aren't cutting it, and he's charting a new path forward. I'm honored to have him on our team.

I still can’t believe this is real. Trump is giving a French company $1 billion in our taxpayer funds to scrap their wind farms.

oh look at that www.pew.org/en/research-...

I am thrilled to receive the endorsement of @citizenactionny.org of New York—we both run on grassroots support and want to see New Yorkers thrive. Let's keep fighting together for affordable housing and healthcare, bold climate action, an end to mass incarceration, and a stronger democracy 💪

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 From @sdnycidal.bsky.social to the Council, @justinsanchez17.bsky.social has long been an exemplary public servant. He knows no task is too small or too big for a leader—from cleaning up the damn streets to fighting for queer liberation. I’m so grateful for his support ✊🌈

High quality public transit must be a key plank of any affordability agenda. Americans should have the ability to opt out of car ownership and still get to their jobs, schools, doctors, and friends and families safely and swiftly. Today, far too few have that freedom.

Billionaires are turning West Village apartments into $75M Frankenmansions. They're taking housing away from regular New Yorkers and driving everyone's rents sky-high. Housing should be a human right—not a trophy for the ultra-rich.

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social is on the front lines of the fight for progressive values and lower costs. He knows what it means to organize neighbors to keep the communities that raised him affordable and accessible for everyone. I’m deeply grateful for his support.

Very cool!

It's a great night to consider running for office. It's still not too late in some states to get on the ballot for 2026 -- and definitely not too early for 2027 or 2028. runforwhat.net

It’s not the super-rich at risk of leaving NY—it’s you. That’s why thousands of folks rallied in Albany last week demanding the wealthiest pay their fair share. Let's stop the fear-mongering and fund childcare, housing, transit, and more—investments that keep *everyone* in NY.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

War is not a morality play. The relevant question isn’t: Are the targets bad people who have done bad things? The relevant question is: Will going to war make things better, achieving something that’s worth the death and suffering it causes?

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Comptroller @marklevinenyc.bsky.social exemplifies progressive leadership in 2026—fighting for our rights against the MAGA agenda, for more homes and transit, and for working people. I’m deeply grateful for his leadership, his mentorship, and his endorsement in this race.

Proud to call Ryder a friend — and very proud to support him for Assembly.

🚨Endorsement Alert 🚨 I’m thrilled to have the backing of Assembly Member @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social in this race. In 2018, the @nytimes.com wrote about a “plucky” city council member who stood up when some residents wanted to block shelters for homeless New Yorkers across his district. 1/3

Ever wonder why we keep building skinny glass towers for billionaires and not the kind of homes we need? It’s our laws. But we can choose differently. 👆 More midsized apartments 👇 Fewer ugly high-rises 👆 More homes New Yorkers can afford 👇 Less displacement and inequality

I’m so proud to be endorsed by @nywfp.bsky.social! As costs rise and Trump attacks our communities, we need bold leadership—to deliver homes we can afford, universal healthcare and childcare, and protections for immigrant New Yorkers. WFP is leading that fight. Together, we’ll win it. 💪

Let's just retreat until the bigots are appeased! Always odd to see commentators deny that we can *change the popularity* of various issue positions by being clear and relentless. Especially when they've just seen the right do it themselves.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

Getting money for housing, NYCHA and transit won’t get easier by losing reps, that’s for sure.

Non-tenure-track faculty have long been second-class citizens in academia. Now they're on the front lines of MAGA attacks on academic freedom and immigrants. In NYC, they're also grappling with an affordability crisis. It's time NYU delivers the @uawregion9a.bsky.social CFU a fair contract.

“The era of empty promises ends.” The mayor needs allies in Albany to secure his vision: ☑️ Universal childcare and healthcare ☑️ Lower energy bills and emissions ☑️ Better public transit ☑️ Affordable housing for all I’m running to be that ally—and deliver on those promises.
