Amid an affordability crisis, the NYC Water Board is proposing a 3.7% hike. I urged them to reject it by submitting testimony earlier this week. New Yorkers need relief, not higher bills on essential utilities. My full testimony ⬇️🥤🌊

I was thrilled to celebrate the completed restoration of the Grand Army Plaza Arch this morning! This arch is a gateway to Brooklyn’s Backyard and honors the Civil War, reflecting the values we hold as Brooklynites. Tours will be open to the public later this month!

Child care should not be a financial burden on families, costing more than rent and forcing them to leave NYC altogether. We can't let our families down in the FY26 budget. Mayor Adams must include 2-Care in the final budget. Families are counting on it. @ny4childcare.bsky.social @unhny.bsky.social

I’m encouraged that Judge Rosado is upholding the TRO against Mayor Adams’ order allowing ICE at Rikers. City agencies shouldn’t act as an extension of the Trump admin’s harmful deportation agenda. Proud to be part of a Council defending the rights of all New Yorkers. council.nyc.gov/press/2025/0...

870+ affordable apartments at Atlantic Yards are still unbuilt. This isn't just a delay. It’s causing displacement. We must hold developers accountable, collect the penalties and build the housing. Thank you to Brooklyn Speaks for holding today’s press conference.

Council Member Paladino’s call to deport a U.S. citizen and elected official—or anyone—is despicable. This kind of threat spews division and hatred. It’s a blatant display of xenophobia and Islamophobia that has no place in our city. We all have a responsibility to call it out.

I’m horrified by the antisemitic attack that took place in Boulder, CO, right before Shavuot. Targeting Jews at a peaceful gathering for Israeli hostages is morally reprehensible and can never be justified. I unequivocally denounce this violence and all forms of antisemitism.

STATED THREAD 🧵 Today, the Council passed my Resolution 368, urging Congress to enact the Living Wage for Musicians Act. Musicians currently earn less than a third of a penny per stream. The LWMA would raise streaming payouts and ensure fair pay for the artists who power our playlists.

Heartbroken by the tragic murder of Israeli Embassy aides Yaron Lischinsky & Sarah Lynn Milgrim outside an AJC event in DC. There is no justification for this violence. Antisemitism is dangerous & unacceptable. It has no place in our communities, the pro-Palestinian movement or anywhere else. (1/2)
