Great to talk about the future of taxis—including how we can ensure workers are at the center of road design, technology adoption, and workforce development—with TLC Commissioner Midori Valdivia!
Fun talking housing with my faves at the @Met_Council on Saturday. When tenants organize alongside elected officials (who are also tenants), we can win housing justice!
Around the world, people are sick of being told they can't have housing, healthcare, or education, that state money will be spent on war and surveillance instead.
The global left is growing and we are here to stay.
On Sunday, Germany’s socialist party Die Linke won the Berlin elections for the first time.
Like New York’s Zohran Mamdani, it beat the establishment parties by offering Berliners concrete action on rents and the cost of living. jacobin.com/2026/09/berlin-d…
No way I’d rather kick off Climate Week than with these public power experts strategizing about how we can take over utilities to give New Yorkers the clean, affordable renewable energy they deserve. 🌹⚡️

🧵 Happening now: @EmilyAssembly, @sarahana, @OsseChi, @sandeepvaheesan & @AshleyDawsonNYC kick off Climate Week with panels on the fight for public power! ⚡️
News of the fire and explosion at 5th and Bedford yesterday, which injured multiple firefighters, is horrifying.
I am deeply grateful to our first responders and am following this closely while details continue to emerge. amny.com/news/fire-williamsb…
Robert Brooks was supposed to be released this year. Instead, he was brutally murdered by corrections officers and never made it home.
Mr. Brooks should still be alive today. We are still fighting to pass sentencing and parole reform to honor his memory. timesunion.com/capitol/artic…
Tomorrow — join me and some of my favorite housing leaders!
Our government finds billions to subsidize oil and gas, endless wars, and mass incarceration, while so many people struggle to make basic ends meet.
Guaranteed income dramatically improves outcomes for people and communities. I'm proud to join the caucus that's fighting for it.
Welcome to Legislators for a Guaranteed Income, @EmilyAssembly!
Thank you for your leadership in New York advocating for economic security for all.
Climate Week NYC starts Sunday, and we’re digging into the most pressing issues we’re facing. Come find me!
The need for climate action is urgent. The response we’re seeing from many of our leaders is not.
This Sunday—join us to talk about the fight to transition our energy system, build public renewables, and put power back in the hands of the people.

Improving climate resiliency and protecting New Yorkers during extreme heat will take all kinds of creative solutions, big and small.
Our city can and should be a testing lab to see what works. I love seeing solutions like this come to life!
Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat?
We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.
When it comes to climate change, we're using every tool at our disposal — including everyday infrastructure — to keep New Yorkers safe.
National Grid and the fossil fuel industry have pushed our climate to the brink. They’re lining their pockets at the expense of all the rest of us.
We must stop allowing National Grid to spend ratepayer money on infrastructure that poisons us. Retire the LNG facility.
August was the hottest month ever recorded. We have the tech to transition off fossil fuels, but the federal govt is moving in the exact wrong direction.
NY must build as much public renewables as we can, as fast as we can. Anything less is malpractice.

The common denominator of all great cities is safe streets where residents can walk, bike, catch up with friends, and enjoy time outside.
I'm deeply grateful to the mayor for all his work on street safety, including planned implementation of my Stop Super Speeders bill.
Mayor Mamdani will roll out a new 10-year Vision Zero plan today that pledges to expand the use of Sammy’s Law to entire neighborhood, stand up a super speeders program and explore pedestrian only or pedestrian priority districts.

Extractive capitalism is looking at all of the evidence of environmental harms, job loss, war crimes, possible human extinction, and continuing to think—naw, let me build more data centers.

Floods are ravaging our communities, your Con-Ed bill is skyrocketing, and fascists in Washington are driving us toward an unlivable future.
Democratic socialism and public power will help us confront the climate crisis. Join our fight this Sunday with @NYCDSA_Ecosoc, @EmilyAssembly, and @sarahana 👊🏾⚡️
