Folks are admiring Charles Barkley here & I commend him on using this platform to speak up, but I also want to encourage us all to stop using this “criminal” vs “amazing” immigrant dichotomy for which there was never any basis & allows this kind of brutality to be okay sometimes. It’s never ok.

lol when @nickocchiuto.bsky.social asked Broadway Dem leadership why @repespaillat.bsky.social didn’t show they said “he may be in Puerto Rico. He may be in Detroit. He may be anywhere but he’s not here” 😬

With @nickocchiuto.bsky.social who really, really wants to gloat lol

Let’s do it!! 🤣🤣🤣

Join us on the picket line in support of NYSNA @nynurses.bsky.social! Our nurses are there for us when we need it most. Now it’s our turn to show up for them, and support their bid for a fair contract with increased patient & nurse safety. Support their strike: www.nysna.org/news/take-ac...

This is a huge step towards the city working New Yorkers deserve, but this step will be most successful with federal funding behind it. As your Congresswoman, one of my top priorities would be fighting for the funding that our kids & working families need — and I won’t rest until it’s done.

The staggering costs of childcare have forced many NYers to make impossible decisions, like choosing between parenthood or life in NYC. One of many reasons I was so proud to support @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was his promise of free childcare for all. I'm thrilled to see that realized today.

On my way to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s inauguration, with @nickocchiuto.bsky.social official inauguration committee member ❤️ Couldn’t be prouder to be present for this celebration of our city’s first socialist Muslim mayor!

Also I know I’ve talked about this so much but I’m so fucking proud of the work @nickocchiuto.bsky.social did to get us here and loved seeing his name in the program & in the city record.

My New York is where this great grandson of Ellis island immigrants from Italy can support the campaign & celebrate the victory, of the first Muslim, socialist, immigrant mayor of our city. Couldn’t be prouder to be on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s inauguration committee.

With Trump’s authoritarianism at our doorstep and billionaire greed in our backyard, we need someone who won't let AIPAC, real estate developers, & corporate PACs dictate how hard we fight back. Today, I'm launching my campaign for Congress in #NY13 with @justicedems support!

The answer is boycott as @nickocchiuto.bsky.social and I argued months ago when the Trump admin gloated about ICE agents at the Club World Cup to a cheesing Infantino. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

This is who @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social is. Brilliant. Fearless. I fucking hate typing this shit out: Free Eman. Amplify amplify amplify please.

Really excited to be joining this wonderful group this year!

Let’s get this done!! Vote @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Thanks Mousa for amplifying!

This is one of the most important conversations in sport. Thank you very much for giving it the focus it deserves, @hebagowayed.bsky.social and @nickocchiuto.bsky.social.

Great essay by @hebagowayed.bsky.social and @nickocchiuto.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Latest in the Guardian with @nickocchiuto.bsky.social argues that the Club World Cup tournament has given Trump a platform for his authoritarianism, with full endorsement of FIFA. We must answer by boycotting the World Cup matches to be held in the US next year. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The Ohio State University Faculty Council voted 35-11 on April 24, 2025 to join the Big Ten "mutual defense compact" that would support the defense of academic freedom. They join universities of IL, IN, IA, MD, MN, NE, OR, WA, WI, Michigan State, Northwestern, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers, UCLA, USC.

Proud to have been part of the group that wrote this resolution, and especially proud that it passed the Hunter College Senate by more than 96%!

Extraordinarily proud to announce that Hunter College Senate leads New York State by passing a resolution in our senate for a mutual defense compact of our public institutions, SUNY & CUNY, to stand up for higher ed & our students!! Onwards! nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Today is three months until the election. And thanks to all of you, we are officially DONE fundraising. Please don’t send us money. But we would love your time. zohranfornyc.com/events

This isn’t a picture of a canvassing event. It’s Saturday’s field lead training. Each of these organizers will now launch their own neighborhood canvasses across New York City in the days and weeks to come. That’s how big our volunteer operation is.

Proud of @nickocchiuto.bsky.social who spent the day training with the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social campaign to lead canvassing in our neighborhood! Get involved however you can! And if you’re in New York vote Zohran or at least rank him & 4 more who are NOT Cuomo or Adams.

Today I confronted “border czar” Tom Homan who came to Albany to do Trump’s bidding — push for mass deportations, carry out the assault on working class New Yorkers, and justify the unjustifiable detention of legal permanent resident and father-to-be, Mahmoud Khalil.

For the @theguardian.com I wrote about the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil & Trump's exploitation of anti-Palestinian racism to descend the nation into authoritarianism, with the full collaboration of academia. No one is free until Palestine is free. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
