What happened after Donald Trump took a wrecking ball to federal child care programs? 400+ day cares shut down in Oklahoma. 300+ programs shut down in Indiana. HUNDREDS more have closed nationwide. Our families deserve better.

This is demonstrably, measurably improving the health of the people who live there. Most notably, it increases the respiratory *& cognitive* health of children. They literally do better in school. If this country really gave a shit about children, this would be at the top of the public-policy list.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

The ICE raids and cruelty we are seeing inflicted on children are unacceptable.

The federal government has stripped legal representation from hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children. Many will soon face an impossible choice: navigate our immigration system alone or risk detention and deportation.

Our city is stepping up. We've invested $16.9 million in immigration legal services for unaccompanied children, with another $32 million in this year's immigration legal services budget, including rapid-response legal advice and representation for people in detention.

If you need immigration legal support, we're here to help. Our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline is available in your preferred language, regardless of immigration status.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

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.

In a rare move, a bipartisan group of US senators passed legislation prohibiting the Trump administration from dismantling a multimillion-dollar research project studying ocean currents and climate change impacts. But many other programs crucial to understanding climate change remain at risk.

Outrage rescued an important ocean research program. Crucial ones remain at risk.
Senators saved the Ocean Observatories Initiative from "supreme stupidity." But other cutting-edge efforts are running out of funding, too.

Photograph of psychologist Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark was taken in 1966. The portrait, captured by photographer Ken Heyman, shows Dr. Clark during her later career as a psychologist and civil rights activist. She and her husband, Kenneth B. Clark, are most famous for their "doll tests" conducted in the 1940s, which were used as key evidence in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case in 1954.
