As someone who went through it, I promise you, it was an occupation. Looked and felt like we were being overtaken. I’m still triggered as are SO many of us. I am changed from it, it was absolute terror.

Fox News has lost 43% of its viewers since last year and it appears that every month viewership is continuing to drop. Things like this give me hope!

Trump just said he's kicking CNN, MSNOW, and Politico out of the White House. I was there the day he ejected CNN's Jim Acosta in 2018... Trump's staff gloated... then I watched a federal judge body slam the WH and order Jim's pass restored. The First Amendment will prevail.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

MSNOW aired the part of the Talarico interview that Fox isn’t showing: REPORTER: …you said ‘there are 6 biological sexes.’ Do you still believe that? TALARICO: I think the reason that politicians… across the street want to talk about 6 sexes is because they don’t want to talk about $6 diesel.

The Supreme Court just launched one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. Thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home.

This decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families.

I joined labor leaders with 1199SEIU, elected officials, and advocates to send a clear message to immigrant New Yorkers: You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.

The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs will share additional information and resources soon. If you have questions about your status or need legal assistance, call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 800-354-0365.
