4/4 Grateful to @gliamericanhistory.bsky.social, and @rockefellerfdn.bsky.social for making programs like EduHam possible. When our young people see themselves in history, they become the storytellers of our future.

3/4 ⏰ TONIGHT, don't miss @kenlburns.bsky.social 's new documentary THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, premiering on @pbs.org . As Ken said at the event: "For the first time, people became citizens versus subjects." 250 years later, that story—and the work of active citizenship—continues.

2/4 @hamiltonmusical.bsky.social has made history in so many ways but the Hamilton Education Program is the crown jewel. Over ONE MILLION students have participated in #EduHam diving into primary sources and telling the stories of our Founding Era through their own songs, poems, raps, and scenes.

1/4 What an incredible afternoon @trinitychurchnyc.bsky.social when over 400 NYC public school students joined @lin-manuel.bsky.social and @kenlburns.bsky.social for a master class in American history! Featured were our EduHam students!

2/2 My wife Luz spoke beautifully about the power of storytelling to protect bodily autonomy. Personal stories change hearts and minds — and ultimately, protect rights. Thank you to everyone working to protect reproductive freedom. 💜

1/2 What a powerful night at the @ppfa.org Leadership Council event! So grateful to the Wish Collective for their incredible performance of "Everything You Need To Know About Abortion In One Hour or Less" — commissioned by The Miranda Family Fund.

Thrilled to celebrate Buena Vista's Grammy nomination! What an honor for this incredible production that brought the legendary music & spirit of Cuba to Broadway.

I’m a proud producer of BVSC, but I’m also celebrating all the nominees—here's to everyone who pours their heart into this art form. 🎭🎶

This beautiful fall day in New York City is a perfect time to learn some new Spanish words! Are you with me?
November 3, 2025 at 12:19 AM
1/2 After Luz and I voted, I had the honor of joining @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, Representative Espaillat and all of our Upper Manhattan elected officials to energize our community and break with the politics of the past. The energy from everyone who came out was absolutely electric!

A Spanish lesson about what matters most: FAMILIA.

From hijo (son) & hija (daughter) to esposa (wife), nietos (grandsons), nieta (granddaughter), & yerno (son-in-law) — learn the words you need to talk about the people you love.

Practice these with your own familia & let me know how it goes!

Celebrating #RelentlessBook at Warner Music with someone who embodies the word! My friend Yrthya Dinzey-Flores and I go back to 1999, and watching her drive as SVP at Warner Music Group has been incredible. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share my story with your team!

From New York to more than 2,600 rallies nationwide, over 7 million of us marched today to say: no kings, no dictators — just democracy. Let’s keep showing up and continuing to fight for the country we believe in. #NoKings

1/2 This Saturday, October 18th, I'm marching because Convicted Trump thinks he can rule like a king—but America doesn't do kings.

He's seizing control of our cities, deploying federal forces against us, and funneling our tax dollars into power grabs while slashing services we depend on.

Spanish Lesson #1: La Bandera Puertorriqueña

Starting a new series teaching you Spanish through our cultura! Today, the Puerto Rican flag: una estrella blanca (1 white star), cinco franjas (5 stripes) - tres rojas, dos blancas (3 red, 2 white).

Drop a 🇵🇷 & tell me what we should cover next!

1/2 You heard Bad Bunny/Oíste a Benito! 🎤 You've got 4 months to brush up (o aprender) your Spanish before the Super Bowl halftime show.

As Bad Bunny said, this isn't just his achievement — it's a win for ALL Latinos, proving that our footprint & contributions to this country can never be erased.

3/3 As Lin-Manuel said, we get to see this legacy thriving. We get to witness the students, families, and educators who make up this vibrant community. This legacy belongs to everyone who has been part of the Amber family.

Here's to the next 25 years. 💛

2/3 Celebrating Amber Charter Schools' 25th anniversary with my fellow founders—Michael Stolper, Soledad Hiciano, and Vasthi Acosta—I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.
October 7, 2025 at 9:00 PM
1/3 25 years ago, we planted seeds in a garden we hoped would flourish. It all started because we believe in public education & wanted to provide options to working class families in our neighborhood.

1/2 Proud to bring critical medical supplies to Puerto Rico through Afya Foundation's Luggage for Life program.

Afya rescues surplus medical supplies in New York & delivers them to Puerto Rico, ensuring women's health clinics have the equipment & resources they need to care for women and families.

We flip Congress in 2026 by targeting GOP incumbents who've stood with Trump while families struggle with rising costs and our communities face discrimination and ICE raids. This woman in South Texas is BAD for us. Let’s elect Bobby Pulido to Congress. #VoteForChange

Another incredible night at the Delacorte Theater, celebrating the theatrical release of Hamilton! 🎭✨ Seeing the original cast together again to celebrate this moment fills my heart with so much pride and joy. 🎥 Go see it in theaters starting TODAY! 🍿

Last night Miguel, Luz and I enjoyed The Public Theater’s spectacular production of #TwelfthNight at the Delacorte! Moments like this reinforces my family’s belief that free theater for ALL is the goal. ✨🌳🎭
