There will never be language appropriate to fully capture the devastation of October 7; a date and attack that lives in horrific infamy.

As the war enters its third year, I continue to call for the release of every hostage and an end to this conflict. Im hopeful that the end is near.

Met Council continues to deliver Kosher and Halal meals to those in need during the High Holidays. Packing food boxes alongside incredible community members is a powerful reminder of the importance of giving and togetherness.

Assembly Member @alexbores.nyc attended the action but told me he left before the arrests started because he didn't want to spend a night in jail separated from his newborn son – and he's disgusted that the federal government is routinely separating immigrant New Yorkers from their children.

Families belong together. Communities belong whole. But Trump's anti-immigrant agenda is tearing both apart. This isn't leadership — it's cruelty.

Elected officials, faith communities, and activists are rising up to say: Enough is enough.

"AI that understands biology well enough to cure diseases can design extremely potent bioweapons." @alexbores.nyc, NY Assembly's 1st Democrat with a CS degree, who worked in AI, says state reps answer their own phones. Use that power to change the course of AI safety.👇

2022 Brendan Carr had some good ideas too!

I wish 2019 Brendan Carr would talk some sense into 2025 Brendan Carr.

But if the 2019 version tried, the 2025 version would just censor him.

Trump using our military as a political prop is un-American.
We don't need that escalation in NYC.

We rallied outside Trump Tower today with @riseandresist.bsky.social to send a clear message: No troops deployed to our city.

"Never Forget" is not a descriptive statement, it is an active promise. As we do every year, the East Side gathered to commemorate the 24th anniversary of 9/11 by memorializing those we lost.

No one should be shot for their opinions.

My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk, his family, and with all those who may have been injured or affected.

In America, we won't settle disagreements with violence.
