This morning, an ICE agent murdered a woman in Minneapolis—only the latest horror in a year full of cruelty.
As ICE attacks our neighbors across America, it is an attack on us all. New York stands with immigrants today, and every day that follows.
On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.
The great Ta-Nehisi Coates speaks the truth about Charlie Kirk: “I think Charlie Kirk was a hatemonger... I take no joy in the killing of anyone no matter what they said. But if you ask me what the truth of his life was.. I would have to tell you it’s hate.”
When the United States marked her as a “terrorist” and set a $2 million dollar bounty on her head, it was Cuba, and Fidel Castro who stood before the world and called her what she was — a woman hounded by the lies of power, by a nation that devours its freedom fighters. He named her not a fugitive but a political prisoner, not a criminal but a woman hunted for struggling to live a liberated life. And while we chanted “Hands off Assata,” it was Cuba that made certain that the United States could not touch her.
In her autobiography, Assata wrote, “Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is.” I echo that sentiment by saying never let your enemies define who your heroes are.
Assata Olugbala Shakur is now an ancestor, but her spirit will live in her past actions, writings, and also what we do moving forward with her legacy of fighting for liberation.
@Independent mfs when a film—based on a nuanced story abt the nature of violence as it relates to class—tells a nuanced story abt the nature of violence as it relates to class
wish more people bought into the idea that the number of books you read isn’t what is impressive, but that the ability to comprehend and explain complex topics+themes presented in the books you’ve read that’s impressive
You forgot to say you dropped the charges. You forgot to say y’all pepper sprayed me and threw me to the ground for a 50 dollar civil citation. And yes I did cuss you hoes out AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN for our youth FUCK YALL!
Billionaires are consolidating around Cuomo because they know he will preserve the broken status quo.
New Yorkers are rallying behind our campaign because they're ready for change.
In two weeks, we will shock the political establishment and win a city we can all afford.
“We need new elected leaders who are not afraid to pick a side — politicians who will put workers over corporate donors every single time. That’s why our union is proud to support @ZohranKMamdani and a ranked slate of pro-worker champions for Mayor.” – @ShawnFainUAW
Our NYC UAW members want a better, safer, and more affordable city. Someone who passes up the opportunity to support workers in a time of crisis, that person is unfit to be mayor of working-class New Yorkers. When UAW members needed Andrew Cuomo, Cuomo showed cowardice. So, New Yorkers, don’t get fooled again. #DontRankCuomo

We need to call out the actual issue which is a genocidal state being armed and supported by countries who claim to upload international law whilst be aided by the distraction of media to false hysteria
NOW: @macklemore speaks to New York City crowd at event demanding freedom for Mahmoud Khalil.
"I believe it is our moral obligation to adamantly protest the atrocities we are witnessing and funding or we are complicit."
