.@MarkLevineNYC is running for NYC Comptroller to build a more equitable, safer, healthier and more affordable NYC for all - but we can only speak it into existence with your support! Early voting ends Sunday 5pm, and polls are open Election Day 6am-9pm. Let’s do this, New York!
We’re honored to be endorsed by @HSActionNY! Our communities rely on the organizations they represent, and it’s time to ensure they get paid on time and their workers are paid livable wages. We’re ready to fight alongside them in the Comptroller’s office!
HTC is proud to endorse @MarkLevineNYC. Throughout his career in public service, Mark has stood shoulder to shoulder with hospitality workers, and we know he’ll continue to do so as Comptroller.
This is yet another outrageous action by ICE to avoid accountability for the unacceptable conditions in its detention center in Lower Manhattan.
These elected officials were asking questions that demand answers. They must be released immediately.
NEW: Two adult measles cases have been identified in Lower Manhattan.
Health Dept is reaching out to people who may have been exposed to encourage testing.
This news comes amidst concerted effort by RFK to undermine confidence in the MMR vaccine.
Thankfully—for now—the measles vax rate in NYC remains high, giving us herd immunity. (93% of 2 year olds are vax’d). But pockets of resistance remain even here.
The recent cases should serve as a reminder to all parents to make sure their kids are vax'd.
The best place to go for your child's MMR is their pediatrician.
If your child does not have a doctor, reach out to NYC's public hospital system: 844-NYC-4NYC

This country desperately needs people who will condemn the assassinations of MN Rep Melissa Hortman AND of Charlie Kirk.
Who will condemn the murder of CEO Brian Thompson AND the attempted kidnapping of Gov. Whitmer and the arson of Gov. Shapiro’s home and all the escalating political violence.
We need people who respond without calls for vengeance. Without spreading conspiracy theories. Without fanning the flames of hatred.
If you are one of those people, please speak out now. Speak out loudly and everywhere.
New York City is union-built, union-run, and union-strong.
Always an honor to celebrate the working people and union members who keep NYC moving. @DC37nyc@CWAUnion@CentralLaborNYC

.@dr_demetre, the Dir. of the Nat’l Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, just posted this on instagram.
Yes it’s that bad.
We are in uncharted territory.
We rely on CDC for early detection, nat'l coordination, clear public guidance.
What happens now if Bird Flu starts spreading between humans? If we have an ebola case? A difficult new covid variant?
The gutting of public health by RFK & his enablers will have dire consequences.
Americans need to understand what’s happening tonight at the CDC.
This was an agency held together over the last 7 months by scientists with decades of experience in public health, who hung on despite a relentless assault on science-based policy by RFK and Trump.
There is a purge underway tonight because those professionals have refused to roll over as RFK ramps up his war on the covid vaccine.
We are entering uncharted territory. The foundations of public health in the country are cracking.
