@emilyassembly.bsky.social and @phara4assembly.bsky.social, who were among the arrestees, spoke in support of our contract fight and our union at our solidarity rally. We know they are doing their duty as representatives and putting themselves in the sights of this administration to defend us.

Great video by @madisonswart.bsky.social showing our earnest elected officials attempting to access an ICE detention facility to do oversight. They explain. They ask. They chant. They sing! @bradlander.bsky.social @emilyassembly.bsky.social @juliasalazar.bsky.social Marcela Mitaynes and others!

Some reps reuniting after their arrests on the 10th floor. Including @jabaribrisport.bsky.social, Marcela Mitaynes, and @emilyassembly.bsky.social. These actions are solemn and tense, but there's also so much fellowship and joy. These folks know who they are and what they're here to do together.

71 people arrested in NYC protesting conditions at ICE detention facility. Among them 11 Dem electeds, including one of our finest state legislators Emily Gallagher @emilyassembly.bsky.social GIFT LINK 11 N.Y. Officials Arrested Trying to Access ICE Detention Cells www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/n...

Assemblymember Emily Gallagher @emilyassembly.bsky.social has been fighting to make McGuinness safe for years. She told a story about wanting to fix this street ever since she lived right at this very corner.

In 2021, PS110 teacher Matthew Jensen was killed in a hit-and-run on McGuinness Blvd, the site of countless injuries and deaths. Led by @emilyassembly.bsky.social + Make Mcguinness Safe, Greenpointers thought they had won a street redesign — until Adams admin corruption halted work.

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

Now, the Assembly sponsor @emilyassembly.bsky.social calls for the Assembly to follow the Senate and pass this bill A.2315 to expand and strengthen the State Commission of Correction. Lives are at stake and action must be taken to increase oversight and accountability.

Let’s reverse President Trump’s Corporate Tax Cut; tell @Governor.ny.gov to fight back by passing the Corporate Tax bill in this year’s state budget. W/ @juliasalazar.bsky.social & @emilyassembly.bsky.social

$15M in CEO compensation is something out of White Lotus. Exorbitant, indeed. But pushing on the PSC hasn't solved the problem. We have a solution to make utilities affordable—it's called NY HEAT. If we're serious about keeping costs low, we should pass it in the budget.

🧵We tend to celebrate individual politicians, but legislating is a team sport. North Brooklyn was once party machine-dominated, with men (yes, mostly men) fighting each other for power — and our community paid for it. 1/

The Daily News nails it: “There’s no question that New York State must make it harder for people who show reckless disregard for public safety on the roads to put others at risk.” @emilyassembly.bsky.social @familiesforsafestreets.org @streetspac.org www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/05/m...

“One of the great promises and dreams of life in the United States is the promise of a FREE education.” - @emilyassembly.bsky.social #NewDeal4CUNY www.youtube.com/shorts/NuDnD...

@emilyassembly.bsky.social talks about how Mayor Eric Adams continues to serve himself at the expense of New Yorkers. Gov Hochul must remove Adams from office and protect our communities.

s/o to @emilyassembly.bsky.social & @maketheroadny.bsky.social for doing the lord's work and distributing these throughout the neighborhood today 💖

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run. The paper offered NO EXPLANATION. This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump. Support independent media: muskwatch.com/subscribe

Comptroller DiNapoli on the emergency contracts bill: "I don't think you can have accountability for taxpayer dollars in the spending if you don't have transparency. If a contract is led with all good intention and is reasonable, it should be able to stand up to scrutiny."

We debated the Climate Superfund Act until 2 am last spring against politicians paid for by oil/gas. 2024 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record. NY desperately needs this revenue to mitigate disasters and transition off fossil fuels. Sign the bill, @GovKathyHochul.

It’s us vs. the billionaires these next four years. Time to crack open your history books on the Gilded Age— we are living in it again, but like almost all sequels, this one is worse.

Grateful that so many @socialists.nyc endorsed electeds signed this letter. 🙌 @juliasalazar.bsky.social, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @emilyassembly.bsky.social, @sarahana.bsky.social, @tiffanycaban.bsky.social and others!

The mayor appears poised to lose at lease some control over New York City's jail system: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/27/n...

Recently went into the Greenpoint library to find ALL seats taken except 2. Brimming with activity at 3 pm on a Wednesday, with community members of all ages. Quite a sight for sore eyes.

I was proud to stand this morning, just out of the rain 😅, with @SenatorMyrie, @NYSenatorRivera and @UrbanJustice to call for more NY Opioid Settlement Fund transparency. We have not emerged from the overdose crisis; services are needed and we need the 💵now.

I agree wholeheartedly ❤️‍🔥
