I’m sorry but like it’s hot asf outside and these people don’t want workers to be hydrated nor getting shade from the sun?? What the actual f**k is wrong with them??
In the aftermath of 9/11, Department of Correction officers answered the call.
They evacuated thousands of New Yorkers from Lower Manhattan, delivered critical supplies to Ground Zero, and helped search for survivors.
Today, I was honored to join the DOC for its 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony, recognizing officers who responded that day and served our city for months afterwards—many of whom later fell ill and passed away from 9/11-related illnesses.
Our city will forever be grateful for the work the DOC did to keep New Yorkers safe, to help us endure the impossible, and for the courage so many showed when they were needed the most.
Just because technology is everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere.
The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way.
This week, we announced a moratorium on all generative AI for public school students in 2K through 8th grade.
Because New Yorkers deserve to know that their kids will receive a high-quality education. They deserve to know that their children’s data won’t be mined by Big Tech. And they deserve to know that their children’s growth won’t be compromised for a corporation’s bottom line.
Gloria Steinem taught America that sexism is a symptom of a system that can be changed.
From the fight for equal pay to abortion access and political representation, she showed that progress comes when people organize, build power and refuse to accept inequality as inevitable.
She staged protests, established domestic violence shelters, created a magazine owned and operated entirely by women and helped build a movement that fundamentally changed this country.
Her legacy is the millions of people she inspired to believe that a more just world was possible.
She lived in New York for 70 years. We were lucky to have her. We mourn her loss and will carry her work forward.
On 9/11, FDNY first responders answered the call when New Yorkers needed them most. Day after day, they returned to Ground Zero to search for survivors through smoke and debris.
Their sacrifice came at a staggering cost. In the years since, our city has lost more than 600 FDNY members to the effects of toxic exposure. Today, the names of another 36 members who died of 9/11-related illnesses in the past year were added to a Memorial Wall at FDNY headquarters.
I was honored to join their families, and the men and women of the FDNY, to pay tribute to these fallen heroes. Their names are now forever etched in stone — and our city will never forget their courage and devotion.
