Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
The man who ra*ped and kiIIed children is now trying to convince you that he’s attacking Iran to protect you from a danger that doesn’t even exist. You’re more likely to be kiIIed by a cop, an ICE agent, an armed white teenager, or an “IsraeIi” than by Iran.
Donald Trump illegally hid files alleging that he raped a child.
This is by far the most heinous scandal of any President in American history.
He needs to resign in disgrace and face charges.
Donald Trump’s presidency has been an absolute disaster for the American people.
Costs are skyrocketing. Access to affordable health care is disappearing. And Kristi Noem’s ICE is brutalizing American communities.
You deserve better.
