This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed. This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities. Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery. Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children. Abolish ICE.

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists that will shape what comes next. I sat down with @Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

NYC's new modular toilets are nice—but you need a smartphone to operate them. "I'm 88. I don't know how to text. I have a flip phone," one woman who tried to use one told me. "I don't do all that texting. I just want to go to the bathroom." hellgatenyc.com/we-test-peed…

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

My message to the IDF officer who ordered the airstrikes on World Central Kitchen and to the people who bomb and smear humanitarians — and to the leaders who have the responsability to stop it..

Wearing @PostGuild red today. I was able to challenge my @washingtonpost firing — and win reinstatement plus back pay — all thanks to being a part of the @WBNG32035 Guild. Binding Arbitration is a part of our contract. This is why unions matter!!!

Mamdani: Now, in Adam Sandler’s criminally underrated 2006 film “Click,” Christopher Walken in his role as Morty begs us to “consider the leprechaun.” “He’s always chasing the pot of gold,” Walken says, “but at the end of the day, it’s just cornflakes.” Whether it’s an internet provider or commercial gym, too many in our City have made and developed the bad habit of disguising cornflakes as gold.

Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.
