Passionate about public reason. Averse to social media. Willing to compromise to advance human rights, but not to undermine them.

@RepDanGoldman The Court did do one thing right: they openly admitted that they cannot do their job ethically with only 9 Justices. To get real ethics reform, Congress must #ExpandTheCourt!

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@BrennanCenter The Court says it should "follow the same general principles and statutory standards for recusal as other federal judges," but can't because there are only 9 Justices. The remedy is clear: #ExpandTheCourt

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@LeahLitman On the plus side: the Justices openly admit that they cannot do their job ethically unless we #ExpandTheCourt

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@NoahBookbinder Note how much space in the commentary is devoted to arguing that, with only 9 Justices, any recusal "may undermine 'the fruitful exchange of minds which is indispensable' to the Court's decision-making process." The remedy is clear: to get real ethics, we need to #ExpandTheCourt

[Rise and Resist @riseandresistny]

McConnell packed the court with Federalist Society tools. Expand it and bring democracy back to SCOTUS. ⁦@RepJeffries⁩ ⁦@SenSchumer⁩ ⁦@es_indivisible⁩ ⁦@bkindivisible⁩ https://t.co/T2O8uXIzn4

When immigrant rights are under attack, we stand up and fight back!

@NYCMayor @GovKathyHochul @POTUS take note: real leaders reject the premise that MAGA hate can be beat with a MAGA-lite alternative. Thank you, @ShahanaFromBK, for showing how it's done!

Right-wing trolls will tell you that every penny we spend on asylum seekers is another we can't spend on our City. That's false. I'm committed to fighting with my colleagues for ALL New Yorkers, no matter where you come from. We cannot let ourselves be divided.

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@ShahanaFromBK As one of @ShahanaFromBK's constituents, I can confirm: we're saying that everyone who comes into the 39th District in Brooklyn will be welcome.

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@NYWFP It's a housing crisis.
It's an affordability crisis.
It's a crisis of underresourcing.
It's a crisis of hate.

These crises affect us all, but they cause disproportionate harm to marginalized communities like our new neighbors. We need solidarity and we need to #InvestInOurNY.

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@JabariBrisport After lying about bail reform in 2022, GOP will run on xenophobic lies in 2024. Dems win when we run on truth, not a MAGA-lite agenda. The problem isn't migrants: it's a crisis of housing, affordability, underresourcing, and hate. The answer is solidarity and to #InvestInOurNY.

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@tiffany_caban Thank you, @tiffany_caban, for speaking out. NYC has always welcomed people from all over the world. @NYCMayor's pivot towards full-on MAGA hate is never going to be welcome here.

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@jessicaramos Immigrants built NYC and make NY run.
Fascist hate is the real threat to NYC.
We will not let it happen here. #SafetyInSolidarity

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@ShahanaFromBK As @NYCMayor goes full MAGA, we're relying on @NYCProgressives to address the real problems destroying NYC: the housing crisis, the affordability crisis, underresourcing of our communities, and a surge in hate.

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@ShahanaFromBK Thank you, @ShahanaFromBK, for speaking out. Eric Adams's xenophobia is a danger to new NYers and antithetical to our city's enduring commitment to welcoming all those yearning to breathe free.

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@Partnership4NYC Sure, we can blame people for fleeing persecution and exercising their right to seek asylum in this country.

Or we can #TaxTheRich and #InvestInOurNY.

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@NYTMetro After lying about bail reform in 2022, GOP will run on xenophobic lies in 2024.

Dems win when we run on truth, not a MAGA-lite agenda.

The problem isn't migrants: it's a crisis of housing, affordability, underresourcing, and hate. The answer is solidarity and to #InvestInOurNY.

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@NYTMetro @NYCMayor should apologize for this dehumanizing description of people who just want to live free of persecution. #WelcomeWithDignity

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@GovKathyHochul @phara4assembly said it best (as usual):

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@JCColtin @SenatorPersaud might not have known what rally she was going to, but she definitely knew the anti-immigrant platform she was signing onto. https://t.co/s7baqpOSTe

[Adam NYC @DeliberativeDem]

@NYCCouncil @NYCMayor @NYCMayor has the bully pulpit, but @NYCCouncil has the facts... and the votes to override him. Thank you for standing up for New Yorkers!
