NYC Comptroller casually drops his role in the City of New York's retirement systems before listing his demands for Target's Board after ICE used their parking lot to stage raids that led to a father being shot in the neck.

As Comptroller of the City of New York, I serve as investment adviser to, and custodian and a trustee of, the five New York City retirement systems (“the Systems”). The Systems are substantial long-term Target shareholders. I write to request that the Governance & Sustainability Committee immediately commission and oversee an independent, third‑party human rights risk assessment focused on Target’s interactions with federal law‑enforcement agencies, including how the company manages risks associated with the use of its property, facilities, and security practices.

Hi Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, why are there still so many cops in the Franklin Ave subway station? The racism is unmistakable. They aren’t there at nearby Park Slope Grand Army station. You’re doing so many good things but it’s time to fulfill your promise to address racial policing in NYC.

Hi @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, we are lucky to have you as mayor & were proud that you stressed how Netanyahu is a war criminal & said if you had the power, you would arrest him. But why then did you let the NYPD SRG (a unit you vowed to disband) arrest more than 100 for protesting him? Do better.
