Increasing the OIG budget is an important step, but meaningless without a appointing an Inspector General who is not afraid of holding the NYPD accountable and who has a track record of collaborating with organizations working to end police violence. That seat is still empty, 10mos into his admin.

More and more attention is (rightfully) aimed at confronting ICE & DHS’s in the streets. But, I really can’t emphasize how important it is for us to be also there to help people in the awful courts that anchor this entire system. @jfrejnyc.bsky.social has been at the forefront of this for a while.

@chiosse.bsky.social's bill would prohibit the NYPD's Strategic Response Group from being deployed at public actions protected by the 1st Amendment and for crowd control. It has a majority of support among NYC Council members. The obstacle to its passage, as usual, is 🎯 Speaker Julie Menin 🎯

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Families across our city depend on these childcare providers who time and again have been left behind by prior administrations, and we’re grateful that @mayor.nyc.gov listened. This is a huge and crucial step toward truly universal childcare with good wages for workers.

This announcement is only possible because of tireless advocacy from our provider partners – including Providers Organized for Power, ECE on the Move, @aqeny.bsky.social & more, who have been sharing stories of below minimum wage pay, not being able to cover expenses & having to turn families away.

Today’s announcement ends months of stress and uncertainty for thousands of low-income families by delivering childcare access to those who need it most, and ensuring providers who serve these families – many of whom are home-based providers – can get the funds they need to keep their doors open.

Organizations like the ADL exist at this point to protect the state of Israel from criticism, but cloak it in the language of “fighting antisemitism.” By being an actual committed non-Zionist who is against antisemitism, Mamdani calls their bluff.
