Dominican culture has infused every element of our city.
It’s in the merengue and dembow that echoes down our streets, the sancocho and mangú we eat, the leaders we admire, and iconic events like today’s parade.
An honor to march with friends old and new 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
National Dems and especially NYS Dems refusing to endorse Mamdani because they're afraid of getting frozen out by big donors are courting the death of the party via this race. The bargain is Cuomo murdering the Democratic party as a national brand. I hope they realize that.
Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be
Tonight Israel murdered the bravest journalistic hero in Gaza, Anas Al-Sharif. For nearly two straight years, he documented the genocide of his people with courage & principle. Israel put him on a hit list because of his voice. Shame on this world & all who were silent.
Cuomo's improper coordination with a MAGA-funded super PAC just cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars in matching funds — just a month after his campaign failed to follow basic filling instructions.
We don't need another Mayor who thinks the rules don't apply to him.
It will never fail to piss me off how student protesters at working class schools like Brooklyn College are both met with extreme police violence and basically ignored by media and politicians. All solidarity with the Columbia protesters but Brooklyn College students matter too.
The @nytimes mapped donations from every neighborhood across the city in the mayor’s race — what they found was astonishing.
Not only do we have the most individual donors in the race, they come from neighborhoods across each of the five boroughs.
This movement is citywide.
Most people don’t understand how *new* most cancer treatments are. The treatment that cured my lymphoma was developed when I was a teenager. The treatments that will cure our children’s cancers are being put on hold right now.
One by one, the Trump admin is going after people for speech they don't like.
Rumeysa Ozturk, a Fulbright Scholar, was ambushed on the street for criticizing U.S. foreign policy.
This isn’t immigration enforcement. It’s political repression. She must be released immediately.
Just a reminder—Andrew Cuomo is a bully and a sex pest. NYC is still digging its way out of the problems caused by his petty, vindictive budget cuts and feuds. No NYC resident should rank him for mayor.
Five years ago today, Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes to take in COVID-positive patients. Then he tried to cover up the death toll his decision unleashed.
This is the story of just one family impacted by Cuomo’s fatal mismanagement.
jeffrey goldberg refusing to dump all the text messages in the houthi signal chat is exactly why the natsec advisor had his personal phone number. it is precisely the problem w/ fake "journalists" at legacy publishers. they're stenographers for the state dept.
Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE.
A video shared with GBH News shows a man in a hoodie approach her, then grab her wrists. Ozturk screams, then asks “Can I call the police?” before being told “We’re the police.”

this is terrifying. she was detained for writing an op ed about BDS. an op ed. students are being kidnapped over this. this started at columbia and it will keep happening if we don’t stop it.
As an investigative reporter, I won't opine on the question of fitness, but Andrew Cuomo has an extensively documented history of taking actions that experts deem illegal to dismantle law enforcement investigations around him and retaliate against those behind such efforts.
Israelis love to say Palestinians could’ve turned Gaza into the “Singapore of the Middle East” if only they stopped resisting occupation & focused on development.
But every time Palestinians tried, Israel got in the way. This explainer tells the story of how Israel destroyed Gaza’s citrus industry, and it proves that nothing will change as long as Israel’s occupation & blockade continues.
$163 billion in unpaid taxes. The rich are a useless drain on society, not paying their fair share. They’re the useless freeloaders, not the family relying on food stamps
