This has been a life-changing experience and despite the outcome I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m beyond grateful to everyone who supported and helped out with our campaign. While this chapter is closing, there’s more to come. Stay tuned.

This decision finds that @USCISJoe violated the law by refusing to do his job, discriminating against applicants with certain backgrounds. Hopefully this motivates an impeachment inquiry

🚨 BIG NEWS. A federal court just declared unlawful and blocked a series of Trump admin policies heavily restricting legal immigration since last December.

The judge overturns "pauses" on immigration benefits for nationals of disfavored countries, as well as related policies.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

This claim is a LIE. Congress created adjustment of status in 1960. It's not a loophole. In fact, @USCIS's OWN WEBSITE says that getting a green card from inside the United States was expressly intended by Congress!

Just wait; give it 24 hours and they'll erase that history.

Everyone’s takes are too dramatic. If Wilson beats Boylan, it will be because he’s a local chief of staff with many endorsements, and Mamdani endorsed too late in a low turnout special election. Nothing more. You can ignore the clickbait.

Couples who vote together…❤️🗳️

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Scammers are stealing homes from New Yorkers — and Black and Brown homeowners are being targeted the most.

We're launching the Mayor's Office of Deed Theft Prevention, led by Director Peter White, to defend vulnerable homeowners.

And we are pausing the tax lien sale for the next six months as we review and fix a broken system.

We are using every tool at our disposal to help New Yorkers stay in their homes in the city we love.

My thoughts on this 🧵

As a gay man, it’s frankly offensive to hear a candidate in the race try to use their sexuality to delegitimize the merits and qualifications of his opponents.

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

Landlords threatening to call ICE on immigrant tenants is despicable behavior – and it’s also illegal tenant harassment under New York law.

So I’m glad that the City Council is taking action by extending & expanding on the “Certification of No Harassment” pilot program I won back in 2017. We fought hard to hold landlords accountable through a proactive approach that put real consequences in place.

Props to @PiSanchezNYC and her co-sponsors on proposing to use this tool to protect our immigrant neighbors from ICE’s reign of terror. https://t.co/hf2aq3A8BT

We can vote for a representational fig leaf who will protect the rich and stand with the establishment against progressive change, or we can vote for an advocate who will actually fight for what we need — the choice is ours.

Is District 3 a “gay seat”? A debate is unfolding in Hell’s Kitchen after Mayor Mamdani backed Lindsey Boylan — with activists and former officials pushing back. #W42ST https://t.co/GqWVnbd3Ko

The fact that an insider candidate is using transparent identity politics to distract from his uninspired moderate policies should tell voters everything they need to know about him.

“I’ve always believed that our system works best when voters are enabled to make the decision that best represents them; to my genuine dismay, it would appear that my opponent does not share this trust in our neighbors’ judgment.”

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.
