This morning, while I was still in Albany, a group of our incredible volunteers and election attorney Ali Najmi submitted petition signatures of 36,966 voters to get my name on the ballot for New York City mayor. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

When Roe was overturned while Democrats held the House, Senate, & White House, they sent fundraising emails instead of abolishing the filibuster & codifying Roe. It should be no surprise these establishment Dems are rolling over. They should be calling for a general strike.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.

Keith E. Sonderling is the new acting head of The Institute of Museum and Library Services, the main source of federal funding for libraries and museums across the country. President Trump issued an executive order last week saying he aims to close the agency.

Our campaign raised nearly $845,000 this filing period. We did it from 10,988 individual donors across almost every NYC zip code. And with $500,000+ matching eligible, we expect another $4+ million next month. We have the movement, the momentum and the money to win.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Today I confronted “border czar” Tom Homan who came to Albany to do Trump’s bidding — push for mass deportations, carry out the assault on working class New Yorkers, and justify the unjustifiable detention of legal permanent resident and father-to-be, Mahmoud Khalil.

One in four New Yorkers can’t afford basics like housing or food. 420,000 children live in poverty. Low wages and the high cost of living is an existential crisis for our city. I’m running for Mayor on a bold but achievable platform to address it.

As the oligarchy is conspicuously exposed, Americans will see as clearly as we did at the end of the first Gilded Age that we have no option but to take back power. Only then can we continue the essential work of America.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.

“You’re going to need somebody who is willing to break the stranglehold of the two-party system.... What we need is someone who can coalesce the energies in this country ... into another party which can respond to the needs of the people. The Democratic Party cannot do it.” —James Baldwin, 1968

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
