This video made me sit up and take notice of Zohran way back in Nov. I encourage everyone to watch it— this is how you grow your coalition. This is the energy that we need.

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all?

I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out.

sign this petition to help save nyc's black-crowned night herons!!! these herons are historically the most abundant wading bird in the nyc harbor but their population has fallen 55% in 22 years, and projections say they'll be gone from the city by 2037 :( https://t.co/uhvuEeQsVu

READ: A woman was forced to give birth in Brooklyn criminal court 2 nights ago on a courtroom bench. Shackled. All while courtroom personnel gawked.

And the judge ultimately refused even to dismiss her case--trespassing on her own rooftop. This is "justice" in America. More:

@dlondonwortel cool, i can see my apt building!! I'm sure the development in NJ picked up pretty quickly once they finished the GWB.

There is no NYC without unions.

A people united and organized cannot be defeated. Together, we're showing the world what solidarity means.

I love that the bryant park woodcocks are going viral because there are few creatures that combine magic and idiocy so well but it bears mentioning that a lot of the birds don't make it out of the park alive. Each of these dots represents a woodcock killed by a window strike.

If you’d like to understand the history of the country that US and Israeli imperialists are waging an illegal and unjust war against check out @thedigradio’s five part series with Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi and Golnar Nikpour on the history of modern Iran https://t.co/0Ahp8HVxE9

in America you need less evidence to kill thousands of Muslims than to arrest one member of an international sex trafficking ring

The @ACLU has filed a class action damages suit against federal & state officers over an Idaho immigration raid last October. 200 armed officers raided a horse-race festival, detaining 400 Latinos for 4 hrs. All adults & many teens ziptied & searched.

@RepRitchie If only he had been wearing a QR code…. 😢

@SenBooker Nope.

You probably don't know what SEQRA is - but you should know that it's slowing down the housing that we need. Deputy Mayor Leila Bozorg is here to explain why reforming it is key to cutting red tape and building more housing.

Van Hollen: I—and my office—have been working with a mom from the state of Maryland. She lived here 20 years. She has four kids. She was snatched off the streets by ICE a couple of weeks ago.

She asked to be released to be able to visit with her 15-year-old son, who was dying of cancer. They said no. Shame.

He died the next day. Her son died the next day without being able to say goodbye to his mom, and his mom was unable to say goodbye to him. That is the lack of humanity. That is the lack of basic human decency that we’re seeing from this administration. And that is why you’re all out here.

We are now working very hard to make sure that this mom is at least released to go to her son’s memorial service.

La Guaira: The U.S. bombed a medical supplies distribution center during its terror attack on Venezuela, destroying a warehouse which stored supplies for a nephrology program for patients undergoing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, affecting at least 9,000 kidney patients.

All you ever have to do to turn a country you don't like into a country you do like is capture the one guy running that country and replace him with one other guy and then everything is fixed. It takes like a day. Duh.

New: I (too) wrote about the Upper East Side that’s awaiting Zohran Mamdani. The neighborhood gets typecast as rich and snooty but there’s another side. Meet the unsung members that are rolling out the red carpet for the new mayor. https://t.co/H6dc6S9I0h
