On #TransDayofVisibility, I stand w/my trans siblings—loud, proud, & unwavering. Visibility is not enough; we must fight for safety, healthcare, and dignity. Trans liberation is non-negotiable. Take action—now and always!

#EidMubarak! Wishing you joy, peace, and happiness on this special day. May your heart be filled with love and your home with laughter.

Beautiful morning at #QueensCountyFarm

Maybe I just been very fortunate to encounter many great people throughout my life but I feel like a big part of adulthood is meeting with long-time friends to catch up because “it’s been a long time”.

🎭 Council passed Res. 0720, in support of Assm. Carroll and @salazarsenate.bsky.social's NYC Arts Space Act, which would provide property tax benefits for leasing of long-term affordable arts spaces. The creative economy generates 13% of economic activity and we must do more to support!

Important: They're now trying to deport *another* student, 21-year-old Yunseo Chung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing SecState to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood. Rubio is at the center of many of Trump's most lawless and destructive actions.

What would you do with $1 million for your community?! Next week, you get to answer that question! rnd.council.nyc.gov/PB_Voting/

This is a wild read. It should concern EVERYONE these mistakes seem to be happening in everything the Trump Administration is involved in!

Thank you @repcasar.bsky.social. This is what every Democrat elected should be doing on TV, in EVERY interview. Push back when lies are being spread. Even if they cut you off, talk over them! There’s no time to play by the Republican rules.

While doing site visits in #Astoria, I bumped into some good old buddies doing great outreach to #DeliveryWorkers of their rights but also of their responsibilities and the laws they have to adhere to. It’s always a great time talk to #DeliveristasUnidos and @workersjusticep.bsky.social!

I already got my copy - I’ve been reading in my spare time. A very good book to understand, challenge and expand our understanding of the sexes in nature. Highly recommende! #BookSky #Books, #amreading

Tomorrow at 11:59pm is the deadline to submit for the last two passport portals. Take two minutes to write a comment, we made it easy. Let’s fight to protect trans people’s rights to accurate IDs. transequality.org/news/freedom...

Honored to represent Queens BP Donovan Richards earlier this week at the 2nd annual “Año Nuevo #Mexica”. Grateful to partner with Concejo de #PueblosOriginarios, Consulado General de Mexico En #NuevaYork, Ti Toro Miko, and Raza Zapoteca to celebrate this rich tradition.

We are going to hate to get to tougher because it’s going to get much more uglier.

Support Chatterbox!

It was not clear if the deportations happened before a D.C. federal judge ordered the administration to stop using wartime powers to deport anyone immediately, and turn around any planes in the air.

If this does not wake you up, nothing will… We are in a full authoritarian moment in history. We cant stay quiet!

So this dad agreed with everything else Trump is doing except on Trans matters, but still voted for Trump who was advocating for anti-trans legislation openly before the election and is doing horrible stuff to immigrant communities and several others… This dad is a bad person

Forcing the take down of this sign sends the clear message “everyone is not welcome here”

An honor to join @rwdsu.bsky.social this morning! #StopTheCuts

So good to be surrounded by so many wonderful #NewYorkers who are angry, energized and ready to make sure our representatives know we are fed up with their choices. It’s time to fight back! #NYC #Protest

Well… This has been a very frustrating Friday already. Time to log off and do some self care. #NYC where is the protest tomorrow?

@schumer.senate.gov! This is what voters want! Vote no.

@schumer.senate.gov, don’t do it!

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

This is very telling

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Sent to USAID essential personnel this morning

Free Mahmoud Khalil.

I’m going through very old photo albums at my parents and just found this #Starwars card.

Today is #InternationalWomensDay. I wish we lived in a world where women are really free from oppression, discrimination and other forms of violence!

Holy shit!! Trump just slipped on live TV that he lost the 2020 presidential election. Trump would HATE it if this goes viral:

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

My family found a home here in America after fleeing the massacre of Jews in Ukraine. Like so many refugees, they found work and contributed to their community. It’s wrong that Donald Trump wants to deport families, just like mine, who fled violence.

Yikes…

This is exactly the type of messaging we need. Simple, to the point and with something people will remember - beer prices up and #TrumpTax people will remember. More of this, please!

Donald Trump is lying to you.

Can’t believe this is happening in 2025! Please, vaccinate your children! Protect babies who are unable to get the shot and people who are immunocompromised! #Measles #NYC www.cbsnews.com/amp/newyork/...
