Earlier today, I was honored to attend the @nypd.bsky.social Promotion Ceremony at which Det. Brett Grape, who has served on my protection detail all four years, was promoted to Detective 2nd Grade! A perfect activity for Thanksgiving week. 🧵

This morning @Harvey4council and I accompanied Ibrahima (who arrived here from Guinea when he was 17) to immigration court.
He’s seeking Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) — and his GED, too.
Thankfully, a federal judge recently ordered the Trump Admin to protect SIJS.

I love the @metmuseum.org. It enriches the lives of NY’ers and visitors from across the world.
That’s made possible by the people who make the Met run — the curators, educators and museum workers seeking to join @uaw.org
Congrats to Met Museum workers on filing for this historic union election!

Workers at The Met are trying to unionize, citing “long-term pay inequities, lack of job protection, and ever-increasing workloads.” If they succeed, their union would be one of the largest museum unions in the US.
Met Museum Workers Push to Unionize
Staffers at the New York City institution have filed a petition for a union vote with the National Labor Relations Board.

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.
The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

After Arrest by ICE, City Comptroller Rejects Deal and Seeks Trial
Other officials arrested while protesting at 26 Federal Plaza in September will have their federal charges dropped if they avoid arrest inside a federal building for six months.

ICE will arrest anyone—even a 16-year-old who just wants to get back to class.
Joel Camas may be the first unaccompanied minor detained by Trump this term.

Trump is about to throw 170,000 formerly homeless families out of supportive housing onto the street.
This is not “housing policy.” It is one more step from the authoritarian playbook to elevate cruelty, scapegoat the vulnerable, punish cities & provoke disorder.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.
