I’m introducing a law today to keep ICE off Rikers. We must protect New Yorkers from modern-day storm troopers.

We are grateful to have a just and compassionate champion in our state’s top lawyer @newyorkstateag.bsky.social and are with her in these dark days.

Our fascist border czar Tom Honan is protected from the consequences of allegedly accepting $50,000 in an FBI sting operation because he’s implementing Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda.

We’ve seen up close what loyalty to this poisonous politics buys you. Our disgraced Mayor can get let off of bribery charges as long as he kisses the ring.

It’s a page from Trump’s authoritarian playbook: using legal scare tactics against anyone who dares challenge his chaos & corruption. The President indicts his enemies, yet rewards blatant corruption in his favor.

STATEMENT: Tish James leads a decades-spanning career of fighting the good fight and has consistently refused to go along to get along. We know this ruse for what it is.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

What’s happening at 26 Federal Plaza is morally depraved and ICE is resorting to assaulting journalists to try to keep the public in the dark. We must shine a light on the shameful family separations and the inhumane immigrant detention taking place in our city. www.amny.com/immigration/...

We have a bunch of actually committed and effective local politicians in NYC. Support them.

ICE Officer ‘Relieved of His Duties’ After Pushing Woman to Floor

I’m grateful that action is being taken to address yesterday’s violence at 26 Federal Plaza.

When we insistently bear witness, there are limits to the cruelty people will support. Even Trump’s ICE can’t escape that indefinitely.

Thank you to our participating member offices @cmsandynurse.bsky.social @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social @cndelarosa.bsky.social @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social @cmrestler.bsky.social @tiffanycaban.bsky.social and our many local partners

DM us if you have any questions

See you tomorrow at an @nycprogressives action near you!

Today we passed Intro 621, the first bill in my #NoLockouts Act.

Illegal lockouts are harassment. With this bill, tenants can fight back and landlords will be held accountable!

Sharing this beautiful print featuring the blowing of a shofar by Marc Chagall to say:

L'shana Tova U'metuka! !שנה טובה ומתוקה

Wishing a sweet Jewish New Year to all who celebrate. May 5786 bring more justice and more peace.
