The NYS Legislature just passed my bill to repeal a dormant, dangerous anti-immigrant law.

The law we repealed was enacted during the Red Scare, and it would let the governor force noncitizens from designated countries to register with the government, and require landlords and hotels to report on them daily.

In Trump's America, dormant laws like this have the potential to be weaponized. Thankfully, we're getting rid of it.

I'm proud to fight alongside NY4All champions @KarinesReyes87, @CatalinaCruzNY, and @tonysimone MELT Act. This bill passed as part of the budget, which now awaits Gov. Hochul's signature.

So rewarding to see two of our strong allies, @CMShahanaHanif and @EonHuntley4BKN working together! Thank you kindly

[Eon Tyrell Huntley @EonHuntley4BKN]

I’m grateful for the example and support of @shahanafrombk.

Shahana always delivers for working Brooklynites. She’s living proof of why we need more working-class children of immigrants in office. Proud to be endorsed by the original sponsor of the NYC Workers Bill of Rights!

Hey, @NYMetroVets I always respect your opinions and will eagerly await your review of these legislative actions. Just know I wish he'd said anything about disabled vets, even just one time. Thank you kindly

[Joe Bello @NYMetroVets]

I’ll hold my thoughts on this package of #veterans legislation until I’ve had a chance to read them, but as I said in December: https://t.co/DSfXuPpIZW

@504Dems own Joe Bello receiving the recognition he's so richly deserves. Congrats Joe! Thank you kindly

[Joe Bello @NYMetroVets]

I’m honored to be one of the Deputy Grand Marshal’s for this year’s 159th Brooklyn Memorial Day Parade.

Come join me and fellow #veterans, families and community members as we remember and pay tribute together. #Brooklyn #NYC #MemorialDay 🇺🇸

[Tom DiNapoli @TomDiNapoli]

Wonderful surprise to have @CSEALocal1000 members cheer me on as I entered NY1’s studios for the debate.

I’ve spent my life fighting for working New Yorkers. My opponents have spent their lives lining their bank accounts.

[504 Democratic Club @504Dems]

Congrats and wish I could have been there for two of our strongest allies. Lead on! Thank you kindly

[Council Member Linda Lee @CMLindaLee]

Earlier this week, @voteshekar and I hosted our third annual Ascent summit to commemorate AAPI Heritage Month. As we highlight the strength, influence, & leadership of our communities, it was a pleasure to unite a coalition of leaders who have expanded our impact across our city.

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

In Congress, I’ll sign onto the AI Data Center Moratorium Act introduced by @AOC & @BernieSanders.

From poisoning our water to eliminating jobs to jeopardizing our humanity, the dangers posed by AI are urgent. We should pause new data centers until we get regulation in place to protect us from grave risks, and to shape it toward public good.

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

The removal of The Late Show from the airwaves is a victory for authoritarianism & a dangerous sign of corporate media capture. But the show’s impact can’t be diminished.

A year ago, I appeared on the show alongside @ZohranKMamdani. The idea of a cross-endorsement was still a hard concept for many to fathom. But the evening before Election Day, we went on to share how we united for the good of the city we love.

For me, the takeaway from @StephenAtHome’s historic run and bitter end is this: We have to fight back. But we can do it with decency (and with better dad jokes than mine).

[504 Democratic Club @504Dems]

So very happy that the man who championed our issues before so many others seems now to be in the position to carry our fight to Congress! We mustn't be complacent, we need to recommit our efforts to ensure his victory. Thank you kindly

Hmmm. Whose picture is the headline image for this article?

Your congressmember shouldn't work for crypto billionaires. They should work for you.

Keep big money out of NY-10 and out of our politics entirely. https://t.co/ba9gZnSiXy

@LindseyBoylan @LindseyBoylan - we couldn't be prouder and we just want to say it louder that you are exactly the kind of elected official we need. Thank you kindly

[504 Democratic Club @504Dems]

@LydiaGreenBK Is the word ableism even in your vocabulary? Come to think of it have you ever heard of ageism? Thank you kindly

[504 Democratic Club @504Dems]

@LydiaGreenBK But you call it 'niche' just because you don't get it. I'm also aware of and will let others defend our unique perspectives on the community she serves and all of her unique accomplishments. It is true that there are many whose time has passed them by, but Joanne's record stands.

[504 Democratic Club @504Dems]

@LydiaGreenBK Joanne Simon maybe advanced in yours but she is also among the most advanced in caring for, for such a very long time, the needs of the largest and most overlooked community. For decades she has been a somewhat lonely voice fighting to create change for those need it the most.

[504 Democratic Club @504Dems]

@LydiaGreenBK When so many are enumerating all the marginalized communities they seek to protect - we are almost always left out. We are also the poorest minority and the most discriminated against we are in other words the most marginalized of every marginalized group.

[504 Democratic Club @504Dems]

@LydiaGreenBK The disability community is the largest minority, by far, is totally intersectional, 60% of our population come from communities of color, yet when was the last time you heard a candidate or elected official even mention people with disabilities?

[504 Democratic Club @504Dems]

@LydiaGreenBK Sorry Nydia,
While we at the 504 Dems are at the Forefront of creating change in the status quo and bringing new voices to the Forefront, you lost me at "catered to niche interest groups, rather than organizing towards the common good"

Again comes another opportunity to leave us brimming with pride that we were the first to endorse Antonio Delgado for governor of New York State.
Again he demonstrates his commitment to the disabled by ending PPL as he pledged to do with @CID_NY Thank you kindly

[Lt. Governor Antonio Delgado @DelgadoforNY]

Today I signed the Care Not Corruption Pledge with @CaringMRising, calling on the Governor to end the CDPAP partnership with PPL. Corporate profiteering has no place in our home care system. Home care workers deserve better. Consumers deserve better. New Yorkers deserve better. #EndPPL

[504 Democratic Club @504Dems]

@DelgadoforNY @CaringMRising Again, every day comes another opportunity to leave us brimming with pride to have been the first to have endorsed Antonio Delgado for Governor of New York State.
He continues his commitment to fight for the disabled as he pledged to do with @CID_NY Thank you kindly
