Proud to have a mayor who is not participating in the Israel day parade, which includes Kahanists (radical extremists), people cheering on the West Bank annexation, people who attack the International Criminal Court, and people who literally say the children in Gaza deserve it.
I once asked Mike Breen what it would take for him to triple-BANG.
He told me he’s never done it.

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.
