So glad Yeonsoo Go is home.

But she should've never been taken.
A 20-year-old student with no record was detained by ICE after doing everything right.

This isn't justice nor public safety. This is a clear example of ICE overreach and why real oversight and reform can't wait.

After two and a half years in the State Assembly, I’m stepping into a new role as Director of Legislative Affairs at the NYC Department of Correction.

This is a pivotal time for the agency, and I look forward to building on my experience to support the Department’s work and mission.

This evening I joined elected colleagues, community members, and the family of Detective First Grade Didarul Islam for a vigil held at the 47 Precinct.

Det. Islam died a hero in service to our city. We owe him more than words. His courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

This is huge news for communities across NYC and the Upper West Side.

Thank you to our Council Member @galeabrewer.bsky.social for your leadership in getting this bill passed. It's been a priority for months, and it's great to see it become law.

Honored to be recognized at the Douglass Houses Hero’s Day Celebration by the Tenant Association and President Carmen QuiΓ±ones.

Yesterday evening I was proud to attend the NYPD Patrol Borough Manhattan North Q-Team Briefing for Upper West Side community leaders.

A heat advisory is in effect for NYC through tonight.

If your work keeps you outdoors, stay hydrated, take frequent breaks in the shade, and look out for each other.

Absolutely heartbreaking news out of Midtown. One officer dead and five civilians.
There are no words.
The situation is now contained thanks to our @nypdnews.bsky.social officers. But this brazen attack on regular New Yorkers just trying to finish out a Monday in the office is horrifying.

Honored to have been invited to speak at the official launch of Manhattan Shomrim here in New York City. Shomrim have served neighborhoods across NYC for years, and it’s long overdue that Manhattan now has its own dedicated team.

Wishing Manhattan Shomrim success as they get to work!

Great joining the 2025 UWS We Are Family Reunion.

Each year this tradition brings together many of the longtime families who helped shape our neighborhood. No matter where life takes them, they return each year to reconnect and celebrate.

A pleasure to be able to attend!

Honored to meet @ljoywilliams.bsky.social, the new NAACP NYS Conference President, at a private NYC reception.

Her predecessor, Hazel Dukes, is a legend whose impact will be felt forever. I was proud to call her a friend.

I grew up at West Side Kids.

For all 29 years of my life, it's been a constant on 84th. No matter where I was headed, seeing it on the corner always reminded me of my childhood.

It is a heartbreaking loss to the UWS community to see this staple closing.

Big win for NYC parents! $10M for child care for kids 0–2 has passed the City Council!

I was proud to join @ny4childcare.bsky.social earlier this summer, talking to parents and collecting signatures advocating for its passage.

We’re not done yet. Let’s make universal child care a reality for NYC!

I could not be prouder to call her Council Member and District 4 is lucky to have a champion in their newly elected representative.

Today is my final day with the NYS Assembly. We built something from nothing, an office rooted in service.

We showed up for our neighbors, connected them to help, and grew a team I’m so proud of.

Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for letting me serve.

Before the end of this year’s legislative session, I had the honor of welcoming TraNa Relief Association and over 50 Ukrainian refugees to the New York State Capitol for a tour.

Honored to join the New York City Council at this year’s Pride Parade. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

I grew up in the Broadway community, surrounded by family friends like my Godfather Bryan and his husband Keith.

Pride isn't just a party. It's a tribute to the resilience of a community.

It was bittersweet to address the 61 Precinct Community Council for the final time as a representative of the NYS Assembly.

As this month and my time with the Assembly comes to a close, I share my deepest thanks to the Community Council.

It’s been an honor to serve alongside you.
