This campaign is not about sticking to the status quo. If you believe in bold, progressive leadership that actually delivers, help fuel this fight. Chip in now: secure.actblue.com/donate/jdw-s...

Exhausted... My @ny-knicks.bsky.social are healthy My Knicks are at home I got nuthin. The better team has won two games...

Credit to players who HAVE to just brush it off Can't pretend I'm still not a little deflated from, you know...🤦🏾‍♂️ Gotta bring some @nyknicks confidence to what I'm pretending is the real game 1 🫤 Let's protect home! (Let's not play around with these folk 😳)

I’m happy to see that a program implemented last year to help young people on the brink of losing their housing has been a great success. Let’s keep pushing for bold, innovative strategies to ensure that housing is affordable and accessible. gothamist.com/news/program...

The murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim in front @AJCGlobal is beyond unacceptable and heartbreaking. Antisemitism is real and must be condemned; and like all hate inevitably leads to violence and death. A young couple is gone. The pain of their family and friends are not.

I'm still replaying it. 😳 Let's just try and breath today @ny-knicks.bsky.social fans...let's just try and breath. Hug a #Knicks fan today🥺

Just stunned Been under the weather and thought this game would bring back to 100%...🤦🏾‍♂️😢 Reggie Miller should be banned from commentating all home games 😡

We got something for y'all @indiana-pacers.bsky.social !!! For Reggie Miller too!!! Let's go!!!! @theknickswall.bsky.social

The extreme danger of Donald Trump's DoJ is how it openly flaunts that loyalty to Trump and his position on an issue is all that matters in decision to proceed The facts of a case and protecting Americans are secondary, if at all gothamist.com/news/trumps-...

Yeah...we think so too www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

I wonder if there's any video of American horrors, past and present that Donald Trump could be forced to watch www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Behind Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” are 2 million New Yorkers who could lose their health insurance coverage. That’s not policy. It’s just cruelty. gothamist.com/news/2m-new-...

No nutmeg, don't cry! We'll make our goal, folks still have ALMOST ONE more hour to donate!!! Donate by midnight...for nutmeg!!!! (That may or may not be an AI generated tear) secure.actblue.com/donate/jumaa...

Malcolm X warned us that ‘If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.’ Read the Public Advocate’s statement on Malcolm X’s centennial:

If we’re serious about public safety and opportunity, we need to invest in youth—and in those who serve them. Hiring youth development specialists is a step in the right direction. Let’s keep going. pix11.com/news/local-n...

A senior center shouldn’t be on the brink of closure because of rent hikes. This is exactly why we need stronger rent protections, long-term investments in community spaces, and a commitment to our seniors. pix11.com/news/local-n...

Thank you to Planned Parenthood of Greater New York for your endorsement.

Our elders deserve dignity—not instability. With most aging New Yorkers lacking retirement income, we must invest in housing, healthcare, and support systems that let people age with security and respect. gothamist.com/news/new-yor...

We knew they was showin up tonight All I know is Mitch made them freethrows!!! #knicksinsix💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

A billionaire-backed super PAC just jumped into this race to try and defeat us. They’re spreading lies and backing my opponent because I won’t sell out tenants, working families, or NYC’s most vulnerable. I don’t work for lobbyists. I work for you. Chip in now:

Being Public Advocate is about standing up— not standing by— for tenants, for working families, for what’s right. I’ve done that with Eric Adams. I’ve done that with Donald Trump. And I’ll keep standing up for you. Learn more and join us: jumaanewilliams.com

Yes, there is only one minority facing discrimination that needs help according to Donald Trump, and only one on the globe that needs help from a suspended refugee program I shit you not! And yes, when asked about Donald's Immigration policies. Our Mayor gives kudos. 🤦🏾‍♂️

New York City is already dealing with a housing crisis, and Trump’s proposed budget cuts will only make matters worse. It’s time to speak out, organize, and demand that our leaders protect affordable housing and the people who rely on it. www.thecity.nyc/2025/05/07/t...

Not one of them attributed the agreed upon privilege at the beginning, as having helped them win. Huh, imagine that... --- via Instagram from @thehometownholler A flip of a coin decided who started rich and who started poor.

Every additional detail makes the anguish even more excruciating Evette Jeffrey, an innocent 16 y/o girl is shot & killed by a 14 y/o after schoolyard fight At some point, leaders MUST pivot from the decades long insistence that we can arrest our out of this horror www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/n...

Ahhhrighty!!! Lets shake it off...rest, back on Monday New prediction... @ny-knicks.bsky.social in 5 😁

We’re building a movement rooted in justice, equity, and the power of the people. But we can’t do it without your help. Let’s win together: secure.actblue.com/donate/jdw-s...

Tale of 2 mayors yesterday: -Ras Baraka was arrested trying to stand up for his residents -And another... --- “I think he came in to thank me, frankly,” Trump tells reporters of his meeting today with Eric Adams. Karoline Leavitt said earlier that Adams asked for the confab. From emilypngo "X"

Thankfully he's out and for video Mayor #rasbaraka

Trump’s cuts are hitting our public health agencies hard. But here in New York, we fight back. I’m proud to stand with advocates, workers, and neighbors protecting what matters most: our collective health and care for one another. gothamist.com/news/ny-sues...

A new report found that the city owes at least $1 billion to non-profits addressing issues like homelessness, hunger, and domestic violence. These organizations are putting in the work to improve our city. We have to hold up our end of the deal. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/n...

I...SAID...KNICKS...IN...FOOOOOOOUUUUURRRR!!! I...SAID...KNICKS...IN...FOOOOOOOUUUUURRRR!!! I...SAID...KNICKS...IN...FOOOOOOOUUUUURRRR!!! I...SAID...KNICKS...IN...FOOOOOOOUUUUURRRR!!! (Lord please don't let me wake this baby up 😲😲😲) @ny-knicks.bsky.social #letsgo!!!!

Food pantry visits by NYC families with children are up 89% since 2019. And now Trump has frozen funding for key providers. As food prices soar, we cannot afford to lose the resources our communities depend on. gothamist.com/news/stagger...

Thank you to the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club for your support.

Thank you to the Stonewall Democrats of NYC for your support.

Mayor took some time out of his presser today to show me some "love" again He probably didn't know that I stopped by Room 9 (Reporters City Hall Room) before noon today and with no naps...even had a great convo with New York Post about a house I used to own😲😁🤣 (They had a really interesting wall)

NYC’s Right to Counsel law was a landmark for housing justice. But without real investment, it’s just words on paper. Tenants are losing their homes because they don’t have lawyers. We owe our neighbors better. www.thecity.nyc/2025/05/02/b...
