Joined my friends @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, Robert De Niro, and Reverend Al Sharpton to say NO KINGS We will not be silenced. We will not be intimidated. New Yorkers will always stand up to bullies like Trump.

“They want us all to be afraid to protest. They want use to be afraid that there is nothing we can do to stop them. But you know what, they are wrong. Dead wrong.” “No one - especially not the fascist-in chief - is above the law.” 🔥 @dlnyclu.bsky.social

Join us and thousands of New Yorkers to tell Trump and his fascist regime that this country belongs to the people. Register to join our NYC contingent here: www.nyclu.org/event/no-kin...

"The rise in anti-semitism is real. But no-speech zones restricting speech and assembly are not the solution." "Understanding comes from dialogue, compassion, and connection — not criminalization. We cannot arrest our way to a climate of understanding." 🔥 @dlnyclu.bsky.social

"Right now, the City Council is voting on 2 bills that would give the NYPD free rein to establish no-speech zones – or so-called 'security perimeters' – outside of NYC's houses of worship & educational facilities." "These bills are dangerous + unnecessary." @dlnyclu.bsky.social

"We’re here today b/c the City Council is voting on 2 bills that threaten our First Amendment right to speak out, regardless of our political point of view." "This is no time for our political leaders to be pressing for legislation that could endanger our right to protest." - @dlnyclu.bsky.social

HAPPENING NOW: We're outside of NY City Hall to fight against proposed anti-speech "buffer zones". Inside, Councilmembers will vote today on whether to pass Intros 1-B and 175-B, two pieces of legislation that would prevent protests outside places of worship and educational facilities. ⁠

Appalling! When even the WSJ isn’t Trumpy enuf…. Hands Off our Free Press! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...

Ronnie Eldridge was a wonderful force of nature. A pioneer for women's rights & social justice, she led with wisdom, empathy, and tenacity. I'm grateful for her leadership and honored she named @nyclu.org as a “favorite organization” for memorial donations. Ronnie was certainly a favorite of ours.

In other words: Even if Gov. Hochul’s bill passes, many New Yorkers will still have cause to worry and may avoid getting help in an emergency, taking their child to school, or even reporting a crime, for fear they could end up in ICE detention. The only serious solution is the NY for All Act.

Dear NYS legislators….lessons learned from NYC…

Wisdom from NY’s top judge: sentences are too long and sentencing reform is long overdue tinyurl.com/nhamem8u

Anti-speech zones threaten New Yorkers’ First Amendment rights, invite biased policing, and are also unnecessary given existing laws that already protect people from harassment, violence, and intimidation at houses of worship, schools, and health clinics.

New York’s decades-old sanctuary laws have made the city safer, supported our economy, strengthened communities, and made it easier for people to access vital services. We must continue to strengthen our city’s commitment to immigrant New Yorkers.

What ever happened to YOURE FIRED

Standing up, fighting back with my friend @advocate.nyc.gov in Foley Square. ICE out of NYC - NOW.

✍️@dlnyclu.bsky.social: Under Mayor Adams, the NYPD ramped up arrests for minor offenses, increased pedestrian and vehicle stops + searches, and police misconduct surged. Mamdani’s election shows NYers are eager for a new approach. The mayor and commissioner should come together to deliver on it.

Standing up, fighting back with my friend @advocate.nyc.gov in Foley Square. ICE out of NYC - NOW.

We agree, @leaderasc.bsky.social: the time to pass the New York for All Act is now. As ICE continues to wreak havoc, our priority must be protecting New York's immigrant communities.

If you're protesting in the streets tonight, or any other time, make sure you know your rights 👇

We urge Sen. Chuck Schumer to fight Trump's ICE gestapo - he has the leverage and must act! Please, everyone contact Schumer's office Keep calling, keep writing until we get #IceOutForGood

Trump and his minions are trying to demonize Renee Nicole Good and justify her murder, but we are not cowed. We are not intimidated. And we are not fooled. Hands off Minnesota. Hands off New York. Hands off immigrants. - @dlnyclu.bsky.social 📣 @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

This decision is disappointing - but it does not go into immediate effect. The Trump admin violated the Constitution by detaining Mahmoud thousands of miles from home and retaliating against him for his speech. We won't stop pursuing all legal options to ensure Mahmoud's rights are vindicated.

Universal childcare: great for kids ! And a huge step toward women’s equality. Necessary but not sufficient. BUT… keep it away from the family regulation system

Shame on #FIFA. #WorldCup #Soccer is about sportmanship and building bridges. Peace prize to bully-in-chief is a betrayal. I say #redcard Infantino.

Thanks to AMNY & PoliticsNY for naming me on their 2025 Nonprofit Power Players list. With the @nyclu.org, this year we will work to defend New York and our democracy from the authoritarian policies of the Trump Administration, protect immigrant New Yorkers, defend free speech, and much, much more.

It’s an honor to be featured in this week’s @newyorker.com Talk of the Town! Thanks to Dan Greene for spending an afternoon at the pottery studio with me talking all things clay, censorship, and defending our civil liberties.

“Some people say, ‘Why bother with the courts? It’s fixed,’ ” she said. “Well, every case is a life, or lives.” The NYCLU is fighting Trump's overreach in the courts, in the legislature, and in the streets - and led by @dlnyclu.bsky.social, we're not slowing down.

BREAKING: The FBI infiltrated the private Signal chat of a volunteer group monitoring ICE activity at immigration courts. Spying on New Yorkers for their constitutionally-protected activism is a dangerous return to the discredited—and often lawless—overreach tactics of the McCarthy & Hoover eras.

It's good that Commissioner Tisch is standing up to Trump by affirming that there is no basis to send the National Guard to NYC. In the next mayoral admin, we hope the Commissioner places a renewed emphasis on officer accountability, eliminating racial disparities in enforcement - and much more.

It’s time to abolish the death penalty for good. Read our new report, Fatal Flaws: Innocence, Death, and Wrongful Convictions in full.

We're proud to have the NYCLU's Executive Director, @dlnyclu.bsky.social, featured on @cityandstateny.bsky.social's Women Power 100 List! From all of us: Thank you for your leadership, Donna!

Wise counsel from one who knows #Rikers www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/14/j...

📣 HANDS OFF TISH JAMES 📣 HANDS OFF NEW YORK

Trump’s mass deportation agenda involves flooding America’s streets, businesses, and courthouses with ICE agents to terrorize, arrest, and detain immigrants in intolerable conditions for long periods of time. But from the courts to the streets, we're fighting back.

As @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, Tish James has given so much to New Yorkers. Today, I was honored to stand up and tell her: We’ve got your back. We will not stand by as Trump corrupts our government to go after our honest & duly elected attorney general. Hands off Tish James. Hands of New York.

I've known Tish James for many years. She’s been an important partner so many times in the work of the @nyclu.org. She’s been a champion for dignity & justice for New Yorkers. And as Attorney General, she has lived by the principle that NO ONE is above the law. Hands off Tish James. Hands off NY.

Join #NYCLU and SING OUT for Freedom

Thank you to @thenyic.bsky.social for organizing with parents and unceasingly working to FREE DYLAN from unjust ICE custody! Leading the NO KINGS march down 7th Ave: 📷 twitter.com/OceanblueK2/... @maya4rights.bsky.social center @dlnyclu.bsky.social @nyclu.org right Rustam Nikita Hasan in between

What a day! It was an invigorating day hitting the streets with thousands of New Yorkers speaking out to reclaim and defend our freedoms from the madness of a wannabe king. #NoKings!

We’re out today joining millions of Americans speaking out to defend our freedoms from a wannabe king. See you out there, New York. 📣 NO KINGS 📣 @dlnyclu.bsky.social

And US Open and CBS showed what losers they are by censoring crowd response Booing Trump… Censorship is bad for tennis — and democracy.

"As threats mount nationwide, NY must do all it can to protect our personal medical decisions and to ensure we can get the care we need. Gov. Hochul has repeatedly promised to protect NYers’ access to abortion & repro care, and now she must demonstrate her commitment," writes @dlnyclu.bsky.social.

Donna Lieberman of @nyclu.org is absolutely right. It's vital that @governor.ny.gov sign these critical bills to protect New Yorkers' reproductive freedom, including the NY Health Information Privacy Act that I carry w/@lindabrosenthal.bsky.social. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

New York City's decades-old sanctuary laws have made our city safer, supported our economy, strengthened our communities, and made it easier for our people to access vital services. Trump, Miller, and Bondi want to conscript NYC to do their bidding, but this city and our people won’t back down.

We will not let hate filled rhetoric and cruel policies divide us. We will stand united to make good trouble, to defend equal justice for everyone in this country - citizen are not. Hands off free speech, hands off immigrants, and hands off our democracy. @dlnyclu.bsky.social

Welcome Home, Mahmoud. We the People are what democracy looks like. Mahmoud and Noor are what courage, grit and morality look like. Proud to stand with you. In it for the long haul. @nyclu @aclu_nationwide
