It’s a page from Trump’s authoritarian playbook: using legal scare tactics against anyone who dares challenge his chaos & corruption. The President indicts his enemies, yet rewards blatant corruption in his favor.

Donald Trump is using and abusing the Justice Department as his personal minions to prosecute his political opponents. Welcome to Authoritarianism 101. We won’t fall for it. We will fight.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 3d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

I’m introducing a law today to keep ICE off Rikers. We must protect New Yorkers from modern-day storm troopers.

Our pay equity bills are up for a vote today — and we’re confident they will pass. These bills follow the cutting-edge blueprints set by the European Union and the UK — proven models for closing wage gaps and bringing pay equity out of the shadows.

Jehiah @jehiah.cz · 4d

NYC has been helping lead on wage equality in the past few years - Two additional bills are up for a hearing tomorrow.

Would require employers with 200+ employees to submit annual transparency reports, and for the city to do an annual pay equality study.

Honestly one of my favorite ritual items of the Jewish year 🌴🍋

Grounded in nature, in joy, in liberation, may #Sukkot bring happiness and joyous liberation to all dwelling in temporary homes.
With true justice to those who have no permanent homes to return to.

Chag Sameach, ah Git Yom Tov ❤️

If it was not clear enough already: ICE is violent. ICE is a threat to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, & our democracy. ICE is a tool of f@scism. ICE separates families, assaults journalists, disappears neighbors, deports children, ignores court orders, and makes us all less safe. Abolish 🧊

4 days ago, viral press coverage of an ICE agent assaulting a woman outside of an immigration courtroom got him very briefly suspended. Today, in either an act of retaliation or just brute repression, ICE officers attacked 2 journalists. 1 of them had to be taken to a hospital on a stretcher by EMS.

As co-chairs of the @council.nyc.gov LGBTQ+ Caucus we are greatly disturbed by the surge of arrests by Amtrak police in a men’s restroom at Penn Station targeting LGBTQ New Yorkers and even handing people directly to ICE without charges. This is unacceptable.

Immigrants have been detained there for weeks with no access to basic necessities.

To anyone throwing our LGBTQ+ community under the bus: grow a spine. To those who want to ruin the lives of our trans loved ones, take away their access to healthcare, blame them for society’s ills, + take away their rights: grow a heart. To Eric Adams: We look forward to you leaving Gracie Mansion.
