Racist as hell. Wrong as hell. He clearly doesn’t even believe what he’s saying. But he’s willing to disrespect an entire continent just to cling to wealth and power. Beyond disgusting.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Homelessness is a real issue in NYC. We love to see mayoral candidates talking about concrete possibilities for solutions.

In the country's richest city, more than 140,000 kids don't have stable or permanent housing.

"Every Child and Family Is Known" — a small pilot program that pairs school staff with students and families in shelters — has shown real promise. I will double its funding and scope.

Mamdani education plan would focus on helping NYC homeless students

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner in the New York City mayoral race, said Wednesday he wants to double the size of a program for homeless students at public schools in a plan shared exclu…

Thanks to friends, neighbors, communities and volunteer marshals, we had a safe and fun March Against the Casino and Public Hearing!

Our Queens reps backed a casino at Citi Field, but they still don’t have a license. We need to keep up pressure so the state doesn’t grant one.

What can you do? 👇🏻

Trolls threatened a family-friendly March Against the Casino. It’s reported, so expect extra police + community safety support. March stays peaceful: music, bubbles, kids, joy. Community power over hate.

🚶‍♀️ Sun Oct 5 · 1 PM — Corona Plaza → Unisphere

Join us against Steve Cohen’s casino.

We are saddened to report that organizers have received violent threats from anonymous registrants of the family-friendly, neighbor-led March Against the Casino tomorrow. We have reported the incident, which may increase police presence. We recognize that more police can be stressful and intimidating. We are committed to ensuring the safety of our communities and will have deescalation support present. We encourage neighbors to do what is most safe for them.

We will not let hateful internet trolls skulking behind email addresses like Casino777MAXWIN@gmail.com and FLUSHINGCASINOW@gmail.com stop us from holding the march and speaking out about the impacts of a casino in Flushing Meadows. The march tomorrow will be peaceful because we believe in our democratic practices. It will be full of music, bubbles, children, and joy. It is not a place for hate-fueled threats, it’s a place for community power. We hope to see you there to stand against billionaire Steve Cohen’s casino.

#EricAdams it’s been real. We’re not going to miss your cuts to city services & terrible policies. But we are going to miss yelling at you. Shout out to all the parents, students, educators, librarians, tenants, & NYers who hounded Eric Adams at every turn to demand a People’s Budget & #CareNotCuts.
