High five to everyone who turned out for the May Day march in NYC today or did anything #MayDayStrong related! Big thread of photos incoming! Here's the @socialists.nyc contingent with @dianaforqueens.com!

Rising Islamophobia has culminated in a horrific shooting at San Diego's largest mosque. Here in NYC, two sitting councilmembers regularly stoke hatred, division & fear towards our Muslim neighbors. As we mourn, we must confront & defeat the scourge of Islamophobia in our city.

The only demographic groups with majority support for additional funding to Israel are: 1. Voters who approve of Trump (68%) 2. Republicans (66%) 3. Trump voters (62%) 4. Voters 65+ (53%) The West and Northeast are the least pro-Israel, while the South is the most pro-Israel.

Today, only 15 congressmembers (all Dems) voted NO on $19.2 billion in military construction appropriations, including a provision barring the closure of Guantanamo Bay: Ansari Dexter Frost Gomez Johnson (GA) Lee (PA) Matsui McGovern AOC Omar Pressley Ramirez Takano Tlaib Torres (NY)

This past three months, it's been an honor to serve you. Now, I’m asking my neighbors for the chance to keep doing it! 🗳️ Vote June 23 (Early voting June 13-21) to keep building an Astoria and Long Island City that works for working families ✊🏽

Bring your toddler to Albany week ☺️

Q: “Would you support Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker?” A: “Yes, day one.”

This year, MoMA PS1 turns 50 yrs old! That's 50 years of featuring local and international artists in Long Island City—and since January, it's been NYC's largest free museum. It was great to meet with the MoMA PS1 team last week to discuss expanding its legacy as a cultural and community hub.

Nothing is surprising or shocking anymore, to the point that the gutting of the Voting Rights Act and the return of Jim Crow across the South is just another Thursday.

Last week, I attended the groundbreaking for Mount Sinai Queens' new ICU—and took a swing at the wall. 🔨 Mount Sinai Queens is where my family and I receive care. I am so grateful it is expanding to meet the critical care needs of our community.

Last week, I met with Aziz Isham, executive director of @movingimagenyc.bsky.social, to tour the museum and discuss ongoing and future projects. I am committed to supporting cultural institutions like MoMI that call Assembly District 36 home, and look forward to bringing my family back soon!

Did you know there's a proposal to make it easier for you to install plug-in solar panels in your apartment or home and cut your electric bill? ☀️⚡️ The SUNNY Act is a solution to prohibitive utility costs that will empower New Yorkers to take control of our energy.

On May Day, I marched with my @socialists.nyc comrades and slatemates to demand that we tax the rich, end the wars, abolish ICE, and free Palestine! This is the energy I carry with me in the halls of the State Assembly. I would not be where I am today without our socialist movement.

It was a pleasure to speak with so many wonderful mothers at @riis-settlement.bsky.social's Mother's Day Luncheon on Saturday! Mothers are the backbone of our communities, and we have a duty to honor their labor, not just with flowers, but full rights for us and our children.

I’m proud to receive the endorsement of @dc37nyc.bsky.social! I'm ready to fight with public workers for respect, fair wages, and strong public services.

Earlier this month, I paid a visit to my local library, the Broadway Library in Astoria. I met with @qplnyc.bsky.social President and CEO Dennis Walcott and the incredible librarians and library workers who keep all 66 locations running across our borough! 📚

Donate to support our campaign. In-district contributions are once again matched by up to 12-to-1, regardless of whether you donated during the special election! secure.actblue.com/donate/diana...

In February, we won a decisive victory for Astoria and Long Island City. And on June 23, we’re back on the ballot. In office, I've fought to protect immigrant families from ICE, defend New York's climate laws, and make wealthy corporations pay their fair share. Let’s keep building.

Incredible: The Jenifer Rajkumar campaign was so brazen in their fraudulent petitions scheme that they even forged a Queens Chronicle editor's signature. www.qchron.com/editions/que...

On Thursday, we’re taking Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar’s campaign to court. When deciding whether the petitions are valid, the judge will look at how many signatures were witnessed by somebody who committed a forgery — and who may have told them to do it.

Today, the Supreme Court’s far-right majority decimated the Voting Rights Act, allowing Republicans to enact racist gerrymanders not seen in decades. New York has a duty to respond. We must confront and defeat the rising tide of fascism and resurgence of Jim Crow in our country.

Every state with a Democratic trifecta must immediately move to pass maximum gerrymanders. No exceptions. Republicans will now gleefully eliminate every majority Black district they can. If blue states don't respond, we will be stuck with a permanent fascist majority in Congress.

If you live in Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, Hudson Square, Hudson Yards, or the West Village, make sure you get out today and vote for @lindseyboylan.bsky.social! Lindsey is a fighter and friend endorsed by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @nywfp.bsky.social. Rank her #1 before polls close at 9pm.

Last week's fire at the First Reformed Church of Astoria displaced the Almanzar family in the building next door. Water damage destroyed many of their belongings and they do not plan to return. Please donate what you can to help the Almanzars recover: chuffed.org/project/1790...

I was biking back to our district office on Friday, when I passed by a student-led ICE Out protest at the Young Women’s Leadership School of Astoria! I am so proud of these young women for standing up for immigrant families and against this rouge and lawless agency.

On Friday, I toured @riis-settlement.bsky.social, a longtime cornerstone of our community in western Queens. I met with their team and @unhny.bsky.social staff to discuss legislative priorities, funding needs, and opportunities for future collaboration, and even briefly joined a salsa class!

As our brave first responders are recovering from injuries and Astorians are processing a harrowing event, only a vile human would use this tragedy to spew Islamophobic bullshit. Vickie Paladino proves once again she is unworthy of serving on the @council.nyc.gov.

Update: @fdny.bsky.social remains on the scene and reports that the incident is “under control." Street closures remain in effect. Thank you to our first responders for protecting us. My sincere wishes for a speedy recovery to the 6 firefighters who sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Please stay inside if you are able to avoid smoke inhalation. My thoughts are with anyone impacted by this fire and we will continue to coordinate with first responders and emergency services to keep Astorians safe.

Our team is aware of the five-alarm fire at First Reformed Church of Astoria and are in close communication with FDNY and NYCEM. Thank you to the first responders who are on the scene working to control the blaze and keep the neighborhood safe.

I am in touch with @nycemergencymgt.bsky.social about a five-alarm fire at First Reformed Church of Astoria. FDNY is on the scene. People nearby should avoid smoke and close windows. These street closures are in effect: 12th St from Astoria Blvd to 27th Ave and 27th Ave from 8th St to 14th St.

“Assemblymember Diana Moreno, who succeeded Mamdani in the district, welcomed plans for the restart of the public engagement process & the expansion of the redesign.” “‘We must follow the data & take aggressive action to prevent traffic violence & save lives,’ Moreno said.” qns.com/2026/04/cb1-...

🚨🚲 Community Board #1 in Astoria just overwhelmingly voted to support a letter recommending DOT's expanded 31st Street redesign, with only a couple no votes Speakers in favor of the redesign outnumbered opponents by more than *2-to-1*

Supporters of my bill with @sengonzalezny.bsky.social to tax NYC's wealthiest corporations & raise $1.75B: @dc37nyc.bsky.social @uawregion9a.bsky.social @cwaunion.bsky.social @nynurses.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org @doctorscouncilseiu.bsky.social Opponents of our bill: Trump Which side are you on?

This week is National Library Week, and to celebrate, I met up with @qplnyc.bsky.social President and CEO Dennis Walcott and @tiffanycaban.bsky.social at one of my favorite places, the Broadway Library in Astoria. Find your local library at queenslibrary.org!

Our lawsuit against Jenifer Rajkumar’s campaign has just begun. Despite the Rajkumar campaign’s highly misleading statement, today’s report from the BOE did not rule on fraud, and we look forward to pursuing our case at the Queens Supreme Court as planned.

I got on my bike and took a risk to share some big news: @nyc-dot.bsky.social has an updated and expanded proposal to redesign 31st Street!

I'm convinced Astoria has the best representatives of anywhere in the country. No exaggeration. And we are going to fix not only Astoria's streets but all of NYC

dsa candidate btw

incredible story

This is actually quite fucked up but imagine how good it feels as a state assembly campaign volunteer to expose malfeasance on the part of the incumbent through careful forensic analysis of public documents

We've uncovered what might be the biggest case of petition fraud in NYC's history, and now I'm taking my opponent to court.

In 2022, I helped catch Jenifer Rajkumar forging petition signatures. Four years later, she’s doing the same thing, but even more brazenly, because she has zero respect for her constituents or anyone but herself. Shameful.

Insane the smoking gun is that Rajkumar folks allegedly forged Cary Tiltons signature lmao Cary is involved in Orkin campaign+ was CM for Illapa22 & field coordinator for Claire24. Dangerous to allegedly fake signatures in neighborhood filled with DSA members www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202... Yes, Jenifer Rajkumar forged signatures, including one of a long-time dedicated DSA member.

Giving cops arbitrary decision-making power to collude with ICE under the veil of “probable cause” isn’t progress. It’s a recipe for disaster that opens the door to racial profiling and endangers all New Yorkers! This ain’t it, not even close. We must pass New York for ALL.

Email Gov. Hochul and your state legislators to tell them you support taxing the rich: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

We can pass big, bold programs like universal childcare that transform the lives of working New York families—but only if Gov. Hochul raises taxes on the wealthiest corporations to fund them. Read my @nydailynews.com op-ed with @sengonzalezny.bsky.social: www.nydailynews.com/2026/04/15/t...
