Petty and pathetic. We will overturn these vetoes. Good riddance.

NOW IN EFFECT ✅ Local Law 88, sponsored by Tiffany Cabán This law requires NYC DSS to send confirmation within 48 hours of a SNAP or cash assistance application and provide document receipts within 5 days, giving applicants clarity, transparency, and access to their records.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! ❄️ This awkward holiday card is to let you know: My office is closed for winter recess! We reopen on Monday, January 5. Please leave us a message at 718-274-4500 or email us at [email protected] in the meantime. We’ll respond when we return in the New Year!❄️

WE DID IT. We passed the most significant update of NY’s sanctuary city laws in nearly a decade, and the first major piece of immigration legislation to be passed by the Council during the second Trump administration! Because we keep us safe. @nyclu.org @thenyic.bsky.social @legalaidnyc.bsky.social

1/3 One of our neighbors tragically lost their life today in a fire at 33-34 Crescent Street. On behalf of our entire community, I am sending my deepest sympathies to their family and loved ones. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this devastating loss.

FYI: If it passes tomorrow, the Safer Sanctuary Act would be the most significant update of New York’s sanctuary city laws in nearly a decade, and the first major piece of immigration legislation to be passed by the Council during the second Trump administration.

I know that’s right. featuring @teamsters.bsky.social @local804.bsky.social full article: jacobin.com/2025/12/amaz...

DBK1 UNIONIZED @local804.bsky.social @teamsters.bsky.social It is our duty as elected leaders to bring the workers’ struggle to the halls of government and translate it into law. That is why I am fighting with a bipartisan coalition for the Delivery Protection Act — to deliver safety to all NYers✊🏽

Following a disgusting, Islamophobic rant by CM Vickie Paladino that included her calling for “the expulsion of Muslims” en masse, we issue a call for the Council’s Committee on Standards & Ethics to investigate and fast track the process for censure by the full Council

May the lights of Hannukah drive out the darkness. Chag Hannukah Sameach to all who celebrate 🕎 Image: courtesy of Yad Vashem, Berlin, Germany, 1930s.

רָעוֹת שָׂבְעָה נַפְשִׁי / בְּיָגוֹן כֹּחִי כָּלָה 😢 My spirit is fed up with misery /my strength is spent with grief 💔 As millions of Jews are getting ready to light the first Chanukah candle, we are crying with our Jewish community in Sydney. At least 11 murdered and 29 injured at a Hanukkah Celebration 😭 1/4

We live in a time of terrifying political violence, and JFREJ is fighting for a world where these kinds of attacks on Jews and on anyone would be a nightmare of the past. Baruch dayan haemet. (2/2)

As Jews around the world gather to celebrate Chanukah this week, we are horrified to hear of the antisemitic attack on our fellow Jews in Australia. No one should be afraid to light a Chanukiah. No one should be afraid to attend a community gathering or go to school. (1/2)

This week I rallied with community members against the devastating ruling blocking the 31st St Safety Plan. We need safe streets, not rulings that put our lives at risk. Almost 200 people have been injured on 31st St in 5 years. Slashing safety measures in the face of this danger is unacceptable.

When Eric Adams’s administration didn’t show up to our immigration hearing for the Safer Sanctuary Act, I demanded an answer from Commissioner Castro: whose side are you on? Are you in support of keeping our neighbors safe or not?

Tonight, I joined Astoria neighbors to demand that the city stand by its 31st Street safety project & appeal a ridiculous court order to rip up the protected bike lane. Afterwards, I participated in a die-in protest where advocates read names of those we've lost to traffic violence.

"We deserve streets that protect us — not rulings that put our lives at risk," said @tiffanycaban.bsky.social. "This project would save lives. It would make our neighborhood safer for every person who walks, bikes, takes the bus, or drives. Astoria has waited too long for basic protections."

Join me for a virtual report-back session on land use! WHERE: Zoom WHEN: December 11, 2025, 6:30pm-8pm We will cover: Top challenges and priorities around land use in our district: housing, parks, streets, economic development, and more! RSVP: www.zoomgov.com/webinar/regi...

We deserve streets that protect us — not rulings that put our lives at risk. Almost 200 people have been injured on 31st Street in five years. Slashing proven safety measures in the face of this danger is unacceptable.

Mr. Castro leads the Office of Immigrant Affairs. After we spoke, he testified in his personal capacity. It’s a dereliction of duty that the Adams administration directed agencies not show up to this immigration hearing. Shameful. We must pass the Safer Sanctuary Act.

Win Rozario’s death was a tragedy. He called 911 for help. But instead of helping him, police officers tased and fatally shot him within two minutes of arriving.  1 in 4 fatal police encounters involve an individual with serious mental illness. Here’s what needs to change 🧵

NEW: In our letter to @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social, we're calling on the City Council to hold a hearing and vote on @tiffanycaban.bsky.social's Delivery Protection Act. This bill has 39 co-sponsors and will deliver safety for workers and every New Yorker. We must pass Int. 1396 this session.

ICE won’t tell anyone where 6-year-old Yuanxin is. He was separated from his dad at a mandatory check-in. The cruelty is unfathomable & makes us all unsafe. We must fight for freedom from fear & tyranny. We must abolish ICE & reunite all families separated by ICE. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i...

Our Veteran Services Clinic is tomorrow (and the first Tuesday of every month)! Open to all veterans and their family members.

Today, our brave neighbors refused to let go of anyone’s hand. They put their bodies on the line to stop ICE kidnappings. I’m proud that my bill to clarify & strengthen our sanctuary laws & stop ICE from setting up in any of our jails is being heard on 12/8. We must fight to protect our neighbors.

We gave away four hundred and fifty seven turkeys! 🦃🍗 Because every NYer deserves a festive holiday season. Everyone deserves a warm, safe, comforting place to live in community with their loved ones, to eat delicious food, and thrive.

Today, @tiffanycaban.bsky.social passes Resolution 736 calling on the state to expand funding for Assertive Community Treatment teams 🔗 Read the reso here legistar.council.nyc.gov/LegislationD...

This weekend we gathered to discuss fighting fascism, participatory budgeting & co-governance. Participatory budgeting is the most democratic of processes. $1 million, decided & distributed by the people. I was grateful to talk about this tool & others that we can use to fight fascism together.

This week, we marked Transgender Day of Remembrance at City Hall. Trans Day of Remembrance is a day of loving memory and a celebration of resilience. We grieve for the trans folks lost to anti-trans violence. The trans youth who never got the chance to become trans elders.

Representative Nydia Velázquez is the blueprint. A truly badass Boricua. As the first Puerto Rican woman ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, she opened doors for so many of us – myself included – and inspired a generation to believe in the power and possibilities of public service.

“On Saturday, community groups passed out another 10,000 whistles as part of a day of action put on by Hands Off NYC, a coalition that includes dozens of unions, community groups, churches and political groups, hosting a day of action and events across the city.” @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

It was a joy to celebrate the Variety Boys & Girls Club last night! Variety is a cornerstone of support, joy, and opportunity for young people in Western Queens.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

On Veteran’s Day, I honor my abuelo, my uncles, & every veteran by building the world they deserve. May we honor our veterans with mental health care & housing for all. By ending wars & investing in peace. By building a society where no one falls through the cracks & everyone has what they need.

You don’t have to identify as a Democratic Socialist. But if this sounds good to you — that’s the leadership you want. @socialists.nyc

Congratulations to incoming First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan and Chief of Staff Elle Bisgaard-Church! Two exceptional appointments for a moment that demands bold, progressive leadership, deep civic engagement, and excellence in government.  @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Eric Adams decided to use his last weeks in office to betray all women on behalf of big corporations. Today he vetoed the Cabán-Farías Pay Equity Package, which is designed to shrink the gender pay gap.

To paraphrase @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: to get to any of us, these fascists will have to go through all of us. We are ready to fight and we are ready to govern.

Trump wants to convince us that immigrants are scary bad guys responsible for every hardship we face — to distract us while he & his billionaire friends rob us blind. But we won’t fall for it. We keep us safe. We protect each other. We will not let go of anyone’s hand.

Everything I do is about fighting inequity & building worker power. I’m proud to lead 70+ electeds (incl @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @bradlander.bsky.social) in support of the WNBPA — every worker deserves a fair share of the success they create. Read more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/674...

Our members in @nycprogressives.bsky.social are on the scene in downtown Manhattan to make it perfectly clear that masked men in armored cars DO NOT keep our neighborhoods safe. From NYC to Portland, local officials have said loudly and proudly that ICE is NOT welcome in our communities.

ICE just escalated NYC enforcement in the most visible possible way: sweeping in and arresting immigrant vendors on Canal Street, where tourists have forever flocked to buy knockoff designer handbags.

It’s 🎃👻SPOOKY SEASON👻🎃 but democratic socialism just ain’t spooky! @socialists.nyc @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social
