ICYMI: Buildings with rent stabilized units will soon have signage alerting tenants to the building's status! This is just a small, simple awareness tool to empower tenants. Thanks #BrooklynPaper for covering the bill. www.brooklynpaper.com/rent-stabliz...

Our Caucus Co-Chairs @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social and @cmsandynurse.bsky.social, and Vice Co-Chairs @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social and @cndelarosa.bsky.social issued a statement in response to a targeted shooting outside the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.:

The drone attack on the Freedom Flotilla, delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, is a blatant and transparent violation of international law and human decency. Targeting those bringing relief to civilians is indefensible. Solidarity with everyone at the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

Eric Adams is despicable, never wanted to #CloseRikers and now that he is a total lame duck he floats this. @sandynurse.bsky.social says it best “ Any attempt to reverse the law that requires the city to close Rikers is a useless unproductive waste of f-king time” @nycprogressives.bsky.social

I wrote for @hammerandhope.bsky.social about why Black Leftists must take power in the streets and in elected office. In this era, protest isn’t enough. We need Black Leftists in City Halls across America. Stop ceding ground. Take power at all levels. Read: hammerandhope.org/forums/georg...

Our campaign is endorsed by workers who build, run and care for this city. Our team fights everyday for a city where every worker, every family, and every neighborhood thrives. I’m proud to be a candidate backed by labor! 💪🏽

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

✏️ Today, our members penned an open letter to NYC college and university presidents: We write this letter as the New York City Council Progressive Caucus representing over 3 million people, many of whom are students, faculty and staff at your institutions.

My universal child care plan isn't built on feel-good rhetoric or empty promises. It's a real, actionable plan that leverages the full power of the comptroller’s office to address our city's child care crisis with strategic audits, smart investments & a commitment to families.

The 12,000-acre Jones Road Wildfire has already destroyed multiple buildings, vehicles, and at least one commercial property: bit.ly/4480PyC

🌎Happy Earth Day! Today, our team is celebrating some of the climate justice wins for our district and across the city! In 2024, The @council.nyc.gov unanimously passed my bill Local Law 99 putting NYC on a path to install 150 MW by 2035 using union labor.

Thank you Rep. Nydia Velazquez, BK Boro President Antonio Reynoso, @juliasalazar.bsky.social, Assemblymember Emily Gallagher, Councilmember Jen Gutiérrez, @sandynurse.bsky.social and Councilmember Lincoln Restler.

The law, intro by Council Member @sandynurse.bsky.social and passed unanimously by the NYC Council, commits the city to install 100 MW of solar energy by 2030 & 150 MW by 2035, which will bring solar energy to approx 700 bldgs, with a focus on disadvantaged communities. nycclc.org/news/new-law...

🧵Today I chaired the @council.nyc.gov Criminal Justice Committee hearing on the Independent Commission's Blueprint to Close Rikers. Alongside my colleagues, we're pushing for urgent action and investments to close Rikers and improve public safety as outlined by the Commission's findings.

This Wednesday, I'll be hosting an oversight committee hearing examining the Independent Rikers Commission's Blueprint to Close Rikers. Join us in person, watch the livestream at council.nyc.gov/livestream, or submit testimony at council.nyc.gov/testify

VICTORY! The New York City Council, thanks to @cmsandynurse.bsky.social, just passed #FreeToPee legislation that would create, maintain, & report on 2,000+ public restrooms by 2035. When ya gotta go, ya gotta go — and now people in NYC won't have to purchase anything to meet their basic needs!

HUGE VICTORY! Thank you to Picture the Homeless for starting this work, @vocal-ny.bsky.social for carrying it forward, and @sandynurse.bsky.social for championing it in the city council! #Free2Pee

This day has been a swirl!🥁 Thank you to everyone who organized for years and to my colleagues who supported the cause. 1000+ new public bathrooms are on the way. Today, we actually got some 💩 done!

Up early to talk about 1000+ more public toilets coming to NYC! 🚽 Thanks @patkiernan.bsky.social @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social for having me on #Morningson1! Tune in for the @council.nyc.gov vote on our Bathroom Bill later today ⬇️ council.nyc.gov/livestream/

Me, wary, to my hissing cat, with a medication syringe in my hand.

Both Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo have become experts at dodging hard questions and avoiding accountability. Voters shouldn’t accept that, writes Errol Louis.

🗣️Tomorrow! Join the #FreetoPee coalition for a rally ahead of the Council vote on our Bathroom Bill! We need a citywide public bathroom network of 2100+ restrooms. Why? 💩 We all gotta go 🩸 For menstruators 🤰🏿 For the pregnant 👵🏽 For older adults 👶🏻 For the babies 🚴🏽‍♀️ For workers 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 For everyone!

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

New: First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro signed an executive order Tuesday allowing ICE to reestablish an office on Rikers, rolling back a provision of the city’s sanctuary protections that had been on the books for more than a decade. — with @gwynnefitz.bsky.social www.thecity.nyc/2025/04/09/r...

New Yorkers aren’t stupid. We see exactly what this is. Eric Adams is letting ICE onto Rikers to serve his deal with Trump and court MAGA support, now that he’s back to being a Republican.

Hope to see a new advocate for alternatives to incarceration in the Council.

Of course Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo have “always gotten along” Both men are serial sexual harassers driven by massive ego and the desire to weaponize literally anything for personal political gain.

Way to go NY!

👽🛸 Get me TF out of here. Beam me up!

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

We're not even 100 days in and judges are becoming powerless against rogue, racist kidnapping right from inside their courtrooms. JFC.

Our beef is the most masculine beef. Very strong, heterosexual beef. Our beef pisses standing up while their effeminate beef pisses sitting down.

RIP Val Kilmer

Ah yes, there it is.

And just like that, petitions are in! 🙏🏽 Thank you to everyone who volunteered or signed our petition. ✨A special shoutout to Jessi who managed our operation seamlessly! As always, we love our lawyer, Ali! Simply the best.

Inbox: A Rikers Island detainee died last night, the fifth fatality this year so far. A federal judge overseeing the department of correction has concluded the only way to reform the agency is by appointing a receiver. None has been selected yet. DOC contends its commissioner can do the job.

If there is anyone that can talk for hours on end, it’s Corey Booker.

I've given serious thought to the election for NYC Mayor and I cannot stress this enough, under no circumstances should you rank Andrew Cuomo and this is why. My new Olurinatti Production breaking down the rise, fall, and return of a corrupt governor youtu.be/LB4gqnUfp-k?...

New Jersey Sen. @corybooker.com is on the Senate floor, saying, "I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able" to protest President Trump and Elon Musk. Watch live: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Cowards. The ivory tower has always been a fragile, overhyped, over-valued institution, but this is outright spineless.

Someone gifted me The Source mag from 1994 and what a trip.

🚨They kidnapped Her. ICE agents in masks grabbed Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts PhD student, stole her phone, and threw her in an unmarked car. No charges. Just speech they didn’t like. This is what fascism looks like in America.

Participatory Budgeting Vote Week starts this weekend! This year, we have 10 projects on the ballot and from Saturday, March 29th to Sunday, April 6th, YOU get to decide how to spend $1 million on capital improvements to schools, parks, & more vote.pbnyc.org

Our approach to crisis response is failing people. Which is why at today's #PeersNotPolice rally, I made it clear that NYers want a new, dignified and data-driven approach. This budget season, @nycprogressives.bsky.social are demanding funds for 60 peer specialists through our Crisis to Care plan.

Today, we pushed the admin about the long wait times NYers w/ mental illnesses face when trying to enroll w/ teams that connect them with treatment and housing “These are extremely important programs and we are looking to expand them” - @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social

All active duty members, DOD civilians and their children know what OP SEC means. Hegseth is violating basic training for civilians and service members. He needs to step down from this position.
