Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.

New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.

Abolish ICE.

The power of sport must be used to promote equality, dignity & respect, not hatred or dehumanization. Language that dehumanizes people because of their race or ethnic origin has no place in sport or public discourse. @KMbappe #NoToHate

Happy Fourth of July, New York City

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession. 

Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council. 

We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will. 

Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.

LESSONS FROM THE ELECTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY

Last night, voters across New York delivered a powerful message: the era of status quo politics is over.

From Buffalo to Queens, grassroots candidates ran bold campaigns focused on the struggles facing working people and won decisive victories. Not only did Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier win their Congressional primaries, but progressives won downballot as well. Adam Bojak, Christian Celeste Tate, Eli Northrup, Illapa Sairitupac, Samantha Kattan, Eon Huntley, Diana Moreno and David Orkin all won their New York state assembly races, while Aber Kawas and Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas won their State Senate races.

These victories occurred despite the fact that Super PACs funded by AIPAC, the crypto industry, AI and other billionaire-backed groups have spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat progressive candidates and crush a movement that threatens their economic and political power.

They happened because ordinary people knocked on doors, made phone calls, organized in their communities, and demanded a government that works for working families instead of wealthy campaign donors.

The American people — in New York and all across this country — are tired of a rigged economy that allows the very rich to become richer while working families struggle to afford housing, health care, child care and education. They are tired of a political system dominated by wealthy donors and corporate interests. And they are tired of billionaires and their Super PACs attempting to buy our elections.

Last night showed that when working people stand together, organize, and fight back, they can defeat establishment politicians and enormous amounts of money and political influence.

We’re making progress. The task before us now is to build on that momentum.

If Democrats regain control of Congress next year, they must listen to the people who put them in office. Status quo establishment policies are not enough. We must be bold.  We must take on Oligarchy. We must represent working families and create a government that works for all, not just the few.

[Javier Sánchez Glez. @javisanchezglez]

Mamdani entendió algo que la izquierda lleva años negándose a aprender.
La política hoy es conversación. No en sentido frívolo. En el sentido literal: si no generas emoción,no existes en la agenda. Si no provocas conversación, no llegas a quien no te vota

[Papa León XIV @Pontifex_es]

Ninguna nación, ninguna sociedad y ningún orden internacional puede considerarse justo y humano si mide su éxito solamente en función del poder o la prosperidad, dejando de lado a quienes viven en los márgenes. De hecho, el amor de Cristo por los más pequeños y los olvidados nos lleva a rechazar cualquier forma de egoísmo que deja que los pobres y los vulnerables sigan siendo invisibles.

🚨 Perú: en riesgo la independencia judicial
Expertas de la ONU alertan que la remoción del juez Oswaldo Ordóñez podría ser una represalia por participar en una audiencia de la CIDH y defender la independencia del sistema de justicia.

[Margaret Satterthwaite @SRjudgeslawyers]

#Perú 🇵🇪 - Junto con mi compañera Gina Romero, condenamos fervientemente la remoción del juez Oswaldo Ordóñez como represalia por su participación en una audiencia pública ante la #CIDH en noviembre del 2024.

Las y los jueces deben poder, individual y colectivamente, participar en el debate público sobre la organización, el funcionamiento y la independencia del poder judicial, de conformidad con sus deberes de discreción y responsabilidad, sin temor a presiones, medidas disuasorias o procedimientos que puedan obstaculizar el ejercicio de sus funciones institucionales. Nos preocupa que estas acciones puedan constituir un intento de castigar y silenciar al juez Ordóñez.

En enero de este año, ya nos pusimos en contracto con el gobierno de Perú sobre esta cuestión: https://t.co/rq2H06YOa8 Lea la respuesta del gobierno: https://t.co/ClZXaIVk0n
