Rich donors try to build our budgets behind closed doors, but these decisions should be in the people's hands.

🧮 Check out our new interactive Build-A-Budget tool, and submit your version of the budget to help push the governor to FINALLY tax the rich.

[NYC Emergency Management @nycemergencymgt]

🚨 Heads-up, New York: a World Cup match will bring heavy traffic across Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday, June 16, with impacts reaching surrounding areas.

Expect 🚧 road closures, 🚇 transit delays, and limited curb access near major venues, transit hubs, and arterial roadways.

Official @FWC26NYNJ Stadium shuttles run nonstop express service for ticketholders between Manhattan and the New Jersey stadium via the Lincoln Tunnel. 📍 Manhattan pickup/drop-off: Port Authority Bus Terminal, Columbus Circle (Midtown North), and the Grand Central area (Midtown East).

🚏 Bus-only corridors (NYNJ shuttles, MTA buses, official event + emergency vehicles only): 42nd St (1st–12th Ave), 6th Ave eastbound (42nd–59th), 5th Ave bus lanes (42nd–59th), W 40th St (8th–11th), W 41st St (8th–10th), and W 58th St (5th–6th + 7th–8th).

🚶 Near Penn Station, W 33rd St (6th–8th) and W 32nd St (6th–7th) close to vehicles for pedestrian volume and queuing. Most reopen shortly after kickoff, with W 33rd St (7th–8th) partially reopening 3 hours after the match ends.

⛔ Full closures to all traffic, including pedestrians and cyclists: W 41st St (8th–10th), W 40th St (8th Ave–Dyer Ave/Bond St area), Dyer Ave (Ramp G) from 34th St to the Lincoln Tunnel, and the Tudor City Bridge stairways on both sides of 42nd St.

⏱️ Bus-only and full-closure measures run from 6 hours before kickoff through 3 hours after the match ends.

✅ Plan ahead: build in extra travel time, take 🚇 mass transit, 🚶 walk, or 🚴 bike where you can, and use alternate routes around the busiest areas.

ℹ️ Check real-time traffic and transit before you go.

We then headed to Bushwick to keep the party going at the Knickerbocker Avenue Puerto Rican Day Parade—with Brooklyn's own Jose Alvarado!

Thanks to New Yorkers throughout the boroughs for an incredible weekend.

¡Wepa! This year's National Puerto Rican Day Parade was one for the books.

Celebrating Puerto Rican culture in this Nuyorican city of the Knicks was amazing.

Muchas gracias to everyone who joined our contingent!

A moment of gratitude as Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month ends.

@NYCCouncil recently passed the Public Advocate's bill to formally recognize this month in New York City.

Awareness is the first step in reducing stigma and discrimination, and replacing exclusion with empathy.

Ten years ago, 49 beautiful lives were stolen.

In the decade since the tragic attack at Pulse Nightclub, there is another tragedy: Anti-LGBTQ+ hate and hateful policies are everywhere, and the plague of gun violence remains.

We must finally act to honor those killed at Pulse.

[Office of the Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams @nycpa]

We are a sanctuary city, a city of immigrants.

That's the city World Cup visitors will find, and that's the city united behind "Knicks in Five."

We asked in December: Which side are you on, and how will you help?
