Everyone should be able to access reproductive healthcare, regardless of their race, ethnicity, income, or immigration status. Yes, everyone.

Israel funded 93 out of the 100 US Senators in 2025. This is treason and has to end NOW.

How was your first day of school, New York? Mine started at Mamá Tingó Child Care Center in Manhattan & ended at the Bronx School of Hip Hop. I joined a special education class in Queens, read to 3rd graders in Brooklyn, & was blown away by nursing students at Curtis High School on Staten Island.

I was proud to begin this day of remembrance alongside FDNY Commissioner Bonsignore by laying a wreath at the foot of the Firemen’s Memorial. For more than a century, this monument has honored the heroes who risk their lives to keep us safe.

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

Yesterday, I was proud to stand with New York’s labor movement to rally for worker power and demand a city that works for all of us, not just the wealthiest few.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

I am horrified by the assault at Central Synagogue during services today. I can only imagine the pain and fear an attack like this, during Shabbat services, causes for the congregation and for Jewish New Yorkers across our city.

Every New Yorker must be able to observe their religion without fear of violence. This despicable act has no place in our city, and our administration will do everything in our power to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe.

The alleged perpetrator is in custody and there is no known ongoing threat in or around the synagogue. We are in close contact with the NYPD and will share more information as it becomes available.

If they really wanted fewer abortions, they’d be pushing for comprehensive sex-ed, birth control access, and policies that financially support struggling families. Why do you think none of those are ever on their political agenda?

The Boston Globe is reporting that Seth Moulton was booed at Pride today: "You can't come here and act like you support our community when you're blaming our kids for losing the election"
Among those receiving criticism was
Democratic US Rep. Seth Moulton, whose 2024 comments about trans youth were still top of mind for some advocates. In the aftermath of Trump's victory, Moulton drew fierce backlash when he appeared to blame identity politics by criticizing the party's level of support for trans rights.
Some critics booed Moulton while he
walked in the parade Saturday.
"You can't come here and act like you support our community when you're blaming our kids for losing the election," said Monica Reina-Gonzalez, 29.

www.ms.now/news/mike-jo... This is typical right-wing denial, Christian nationalists are called that because they are forcing Christianity to be something it can never be, namely a nationalist's creed. Only a globalist can claim to follow "Christ", which to remind him is the root of "Christian".

Hi friends, As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement — this is terror and an abuse of power.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
