Insane turnout for the #HandsOff2025 in NYC. And I have to lift up the over 90% of Black Women (once again) and almost 80% of Black Men who did everything they could to prevent this twilight zone episode in the first place.

I think I finally understand the Mayor's thinking. If you agree with the policies anyway, it's not a quid pro quo...🤦🏾‍♂️ May have a point on the Dems missed messaging though 🤔

We did it! We submitted over 60,000 signatures from New Yorkers in every borough to qualify to be on the ballot for Public Advocate. This campaign is people-powered, and I’m deeply grateful for your support. Let’s keep building together:

Child care is infrastructure. It’s how families survive. Stripping critical child care subsidies from 7K NYC families would devastate the same communities always asked to bear the burden. A just budget doesn’t cut care — it protects it. Invest in our people.

New Yorkers deserve leadership rooted in justice, not ego or harm. I’m proud to stand with the folks at D.R.E.A.M. who are fighting for bold, principled leadership — not more of the people who got us here.

Trump’s transportation secretary claims to support the MTA, but he doesn’t mean it — he’s previously called to slash its funding. You can’t fix transit without investment. NYC runs on public transportation. I’ve always been an advocate for the MTA, and I’m not stopping now.

The city made promises on bike lanes—but hasn’t kept them. That failure puts lives at risk and slows real progress on climate and equity. I’m demanding accountability. This can’t wait. Stay up to date: buff.ly/Kx4Hu4T

As Public Advocate, I’ve exposed bad landlords, pushed for tenant protections, and fought for real affordability—not giveaways to developers. We need housing policies that put people over profit. The work continues, and I’m ready to keep fighting. Join me:

Not sure people can comprehend the impending danger if things aren't addressed for 911 operators and dispatchers Some NYers are increasingly being put on voicemail hold after calling 911. This can lead to no answer at all! ALARM BELLS are being rung!

I’m a proud product of the New York City public school system. The president’s push to dismantle the Department of Education is shameful. Shoutout to the city education officials who are refusing to put up with this BS — I’ve got your back.

Once again, Mayor Adams is more focused on appeasing Trump than standing up for New Yorkers. Encouraging city agencies to stay silent in the face of injustice is cowardly and dangerous.

Mahmoud Khalil's detention undermines democracy. The Public Advocate joined a cohort of elected officials to demand DHS release Khalil. It's up to us as New Yorkers to defend freedom of speech and the right to due process. Activism is not a crime.

Thre truth of is, just collecting what's owed from the wealthy in taxes and nothing more could end poverty But the IRS needs more resources/staff to go after the wealthy, so they focus on the working class instead. Now #peepgame here; Trump, Elon & DOGE are cutting current #IRS staff by 1/2
