I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress
Standing outside 26 Federal Plaza this morning to call out a quiet injustice: asylum seekers facing pretermission without a fair hearing.

This is the federal government denying due process. We must organize and pursue legal avenues to stop it.

This is the time for Americans to create a country we deserve. I’m proud to stand by our neighbors and fight everyday for a better future.

We are demanding justice for all of our neighbors that this fascist regime has illegally kidnapped and stripped of their constitutional rights. Neighbors like 6 year old Yuanxin Zheng, who was separated from his father in Astoria.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.

We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Sanctuary cities protect our neighbors, welcome new ones, and foster the American Dream. The President doesn't decide where federal money is spent — Congress does. And in Congress, I will work to defend New York and our vibrant immigrant communities.

I am thrilled to announce the endorsement from former NYC Councilmember and my friend, @justinbrannan.bsky.social.

Iranian women are courageously leading the call for the right to choose their own leadership and live free from repression — at enormous personal risk. It is profoundly inspiring, and echoing across the globe.

Then they came for the City Council data analysts.

We are witnessing the steps toward authoritarianism, more each week.

It’s a rotten economy when nurses have to strike for safe staffing ratios, decent working conditions, and healthcare benefits of their own. They care for us when we’re sick, the least we can do is have their backs.
January 12, 2026 at 8:39 PM
The nurses’ very reasonable demands aren’t radical - but Mt. Sinai’s union-busting is. They fired 3 workers just last night and are forcing NYSNA to bring unfair labor practice charges before Trump’s rigged NLRB.
January 12, 2026 at 8:39 PM
This morning at 7am I joined @nynurses.bsky.social on the picket line at Mt. Sinai, where nurses are on strike for a fair contract. These are the workers who keep our healthcare system running.

“Beth Israel is not just a building. It is a witness [to] Jewish persistence in a place where Jews have lived as a tiny minority for generations, carving out space for faith & community … in the Deep South.

To see it burned is to feel a familiar Jewish nausea.”

An arsonist torched a Mississippi synagogue. It feels hauntingly familiar.
A rabbi who served The Temple in Atlanta, bombed in 1958, reflects on arson at a Jackson, Miss. synagogue — and how history repeats itself.

It’s a critical moment to make our voices heard loud & clear:

No wars. No kings. No ICE.

With the help of my friends at WFP, I will continue to fight for better wages, safe and affordable homes, and equal rights for our neighbors.
January 9, 2026 at 10:32 PM
I promise to always put working people first - not billionaires. New Yorkers deserve representation that supports their best interests, not the interests of the wealthy few.
January 9, 2026 at 10:32 PM
I have been honored to call the Working Families Party my political home for 25 years. NY-10 has the most WFP voters in not only the city, but also the state. The district has been a pivotal space for the growth of @nywfp.bsky.social.

Expanding PreK statewide, solidifying 3K, and creating 2-Care will save NYC families tens of thousands of dollars each year. This is what it means to win for working families.
January 8, 2026 at 6:13 PM
Thank you @governor.ny.gov and @mayor.nyc.gov for following through on this commitment, even while facing devastating cuts from the federal government.
January 8, 2026 at 6:13 PM
In the spring I joked that the real winner of the Mayor's race was @ny4childcare.bsky.social thanks to their organizing for universal childcare. Today's announcement is the culmination of that work.
The goal of the multiyear plan, which Ms. Hochul is expected to introduce alongside the mayor in an appearance Thursday morning and will be a part of her State of the State address on Jan. 13, would be to offer universal access to children statewide, her office said.

Congratulations to Julie Menin on her historic selection to lead the NYC Council. I am deeply inspired by the thought of our first Muslim Mayor and first Jewish Speaker working together to fight on behalf of all New Yorkers.
January 8, 2026 at 1:16 AM
I'm sickened and heartbroken by ICE shooting an unarmed woman in the head in Minneapolis. We can never accept this violence as normal or accept anything short of justice for these victims. We will continue to show up — together — to protect each other.
January 7, 2026 at 8:15 PM
Listening to members of our community must be a priority. Showing up for members of our community must be a priority.

Great neighbors, like Michael and Edward, are part of why I’m proud to call this city my home. We will fight, not fold - for ALL New Yorkers.

I am proud to welcome the endorsement of @uaw.org!

Congress must put a stop to the unchecked war-making of this off-the-rails presidency.
January 3, 2026 at 6:25 PM
We’ve seen what happens when a reckless American President tries to run a foreign country on behalf of rich oil executives.

Trump’s corrupt & illegal actions jeopardize the lives of Americans, the stability of the region, and the rule of law.
