This new map based on @theNYHC data makes it clear: it’s too easy to block affordable housing in wide swaths of the city.
If you agree every neighborhood needs to do its part in solving our citywide housing crisis, vote YES on Props 2-5.

ICE will arrest anyone—even a 16-year-old who just wants to get back to class.

ICE detained him. Despite the fact he has Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. That he’s a model student. That he showed up for his check-in. That he’s 16.
He may be the first unaccompanied minor detained by Trump this term.

Four questions about tonight’s debate (answered by the crowd at Parklife in Gowanus):
At #NoKings yesterday, I marched alongside Raiza, the mother of Dylan Contreras, and Lillian Lopez, the sister of Carlos Lopez.
Seven million people took part nationwide – but few were as courageous as these two women.

From rallying for #Coverage4All, to fighting Eric Adams’s cruel eviction policies, to now standing up against Trump's deportation agenda, I’ve been on the front lines with @thenyic.bsky.social in fighting for immigrant rights.
Humbled to be honored and connect with so many members last night.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.
Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

We owe it to this family to keep showing up — like thousands of us did last week, like those of us who engaged in civil disobedience did the week before — for as long as it takes.
We will not let violence & cruelty & the lawless abduction of our neighbors go unanswered.

Yehuda Cohen’s son Nimrod has been held by Hamas since 10/7. I’m in awe of his courage.
He attended the event this wk where France recognized Palestine. And walked out in protest when Netanyahu spoke at the UN.
He knows only a deal, a ceasefire, an end to this horrific war will bring Nimrod home.

Thanks to everyone who keeps showing up, including the thousands who joined us yesterday to protest this lawless behavior.
We won’t stop showing up—in the tradition of nonviolence—until they stop abducting our neighbors.
