Just entered to win a 5-day India trip for two with @TourRadar. Delhi -> Agra (Taj Mahal!) -> Jaipur... yes please. #AdventureSimplified https://t.co/xtTAW4fkNp
Never forget. In 1953, They drained an entire swimming pool because Dorothy Dandridge stuck her toe in it." Racism and segregation kept many African Americans from learning to swim-a fact we can't forget while celebrating Simone Manuel's historic Olympic gold medal.
In a case of mistaken identity, Timothy Brown was brutally beaten inside a New York City liquor store by two plainclothes detectives who thought he was involved in a drug deal. Brown is now preparing to sue the city for $100 million. @RhiannonAlly reports. https://t.co/wWPaFZAS6x
The World Cup is coming to our backyard, and we’re making sure every New Yorker can be a part of it.
This summer, FIFA fan events will be free in all five boroughs.
Thank you to the NYNJ Host Committee and Governor Hochul for joining our mission to make this summer of soccer affordable for everyone. See the full schedule at https://t.co/m348jNSYYI
Former President Obama said in a statement that Wednesday's landmark Supreme Court decision "effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act" — adding that the "setback can be overcome" if Americans "continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers." https://t.co/RejDGNIxEY
Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was one of the last remaining federal protections for Black and brown voters against maps deliberately drawn to dilute their political power. That protection has been stripped away.
It is an outrage. But it is not a surprise.
It is part of an agenda that conservatives set in place decades ago to steal power from everyday people and then cling to that power for generations.
The court’s decision is motivated by politics and designed to give an upper hand to Donald Trump’s Republican Party, which faces the threat of losing the upcoming midterm elections.
We must pay attention to what happens next.
The fight now returns to the states. Legislatures — particularly those in the South — will rush to redraw districts before voting for the midterms begins in just a few months. Already, Louisiana and Florida are planning to redraw their maps, and we should not be surprised if others rapidly follow suit ahead of the midterms and 2028. Their politically-motivated power grab is meant to protect elected Republicans from any consequences for their failure to make groceries, gas, health care, or housing more affordable for you and your family. They want to cheat and choose their voters, instead of the voters deciding who they choose.
The mission before us is to restore the power of the people. There is no question our fight became harder today, but I know we are up for the battle.
Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth’s partnership clicked on YOU'L NEVER GET RICH. Astaire later said she was one of his favourite partners because she could learn his demanding choreography with speed and match his precision immediately.
Child care that ends at 3 p.m. doesn't work for many working families. So we're changing it.
This fall, our 2-K program will pilot year-round care for 2-year-olds, with a full 10-hour day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Because "universal" child care must meet the reality of working people's lives — covering the hours they commute, the hours they work, and the hours they need to build a future in this city.
