Wonderful to join NYU Dems last night!

I hear the priorities of NY-10's youngest voters loud and clear: Affordability in our neighborhoods. ICE off our streets. No more forever wars funded by our taxpayer dollars.

This is the agenda I’ll be proud to champion in Congress.

He’s literally trying to use this war to *checks notes*...

Make us forget about the Epstein files, bait us into funding DHS without any guardrails on ICE’s lawless behavior...and now let Netanyahu off the hook.

No, no, and no.

We're ready to take back NY-10’s seat in Congress and return power to the people!

This is our time to show that big money is no match for the strength of a grassroots movement.

Join us for a rally and canvassing at Tompkins Square on Saturday: mobilize.us/s/D6QxLv

Kristi Noem’s firing is long overdue. She oversaw vile crimes against humanity and we’ll never forget it.

But until ICE is abolished and expelled from our communities, we keep fighting.

Lawless federal agents kidnapping and killing people on our streets can never be normalized.

We need better Democrats.

Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.

Solidarity to the NYU faculty members as they prepare to strike.

University leadership must offer a deal that meets the moment: Stronger job security, higher wages, and academic freedom protections.

NYU, it’s time to give CFU-UAW a fair contract and also pay your RAs!

Wishing a vibrant and happy Holi to all New Yorkers celebrating!

Let this festival of colors burst with joy, community, and renewal.

Brad Lander Is Building a United Progressive Front - The American Prospect The former New York City comptroller and councilmember is running for Congress. To unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman, he’ll have to consolidate the progressive left.

β€œHe’s not the flashiest guy or the most dynamic orator, but he just does consequential work that makes a real difference in people’s lives.” - Thanks Lincoln Restler and @prospect.org for one of the best profiles a not-so-flashy guy could ask for!

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Today the race is on.

I’m counting on your support to defeat the AIPAC-backed quarter billionaire who bought this seat.

At a moment when our democracy is facing a five-alarm fire, it will take neighborhood leaders, organizers, and everyday New Yorkers standing together to protect it.

This coalition is ready to do that work and fight for the future our communities deserve.

I’m deeply grateful to our district leaders for their support and their partnership in this fight to elect better Democrats.

I have a proud history of standing with @bkforge.bsky.social. They've been at the forefront of battles to safeguard access to abortion and gender-affirming care.

In Congress, I will always stand up to the Trump administration as we fight to codify Roe and protect the dignity of trans New Yorkers.

Once again the MAGA Supreme Court justices have put partisan politics over impartial justice.

But now the race for NY-10 is set. We’re up against an AIPAC-aligned multi-millionaire who bought his seat and we’re building a people’s movement to take it back. It’s time to fight, not fold. LFG.

The Trump Administration is forcing them to stop, making it harder for Americans to access these services, even as REAL ID requirements expand.

Who goes after libraries?

Brooklyn Public Library ends passport services after State Department order β€’ Brooklyn Paper Last fall, the U.S. Department of State sent cease-and-desist letters to hundreds of nonprofit libraries across the country, telling them they were no longer

Banning books wasn’t enough for Trump. Now he’s coming for public libraries.

For decades, public libraries in communities all across the country – like our own beloved Brooklyn Public Library – have been providing passport application services.

With a regime that starts illegal wars, abducts people without warrants, and kills its own citizens for peaceful protest, it is collaboration in advancing fascism. (3/3)

Giving the federal government the ability to use AI for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons is a bad idea. With technology that’s still wildly untested, it’s hugely reckless. (2/3)

Anthropic refused to bend the knee to Pete Hegseth’s demands – so he’s illegally seeking to wreck their company. Shame on OpenAI for rushing in to do his bidding. (1/3)

In New York, Fury, Anxiety and Joy Over the Attacks on Iran

As clearly as I can put it: This is an illegal war being waged by a sociopathic president whose goal is to distract people from his failing administration.

A wonderful Sunday spent petitioning with many friends and allies, including @yuhline.bsky.social (after we marched in the Lunar New Year parade: 新年快乐 🐎)

This fabulous team collected a ton of signatures this weekend. People are clamoring for bold leadership that’ll fight, not fold.

Thanks to the 100 volunteers who took advantage of this beautiful spring-is-coming Saturday to gather petition signatures across 10 canvass launches.

Grateful to each of them for believing in a campaign that’s about bridges, not bombs.

Donald Trump is gaslighting us and distracting us from his many failures. This is how authoritarians use war.

Congress must vote immediately to stop this illegal war with Iran.

My prayers are with Iranian civilians (including the courageous protestors who took to the streets) and their families here, with U.S. servicemembers and their families, with the people of Israel and Saudi Arabia and the rapidly widening field of Trump’s reckless war.

Diplomacy was the best path to address concerns, shared by many of our allies, about Iran’s nuclear program, regional aggression, and repression of its own people. Trump has now squandered that chance.

If the U.S. standard for acceptable war becomes the fury of a madman with enough military power, the world will be far more unstable. We won’t only be less safe – we’ll be less free, and less flourishing.

The reasons the Trump regime is giving are blatant lies. A DIA report last year concluded that Iran does not have ballistic missiles capable of hitting the U.S. There is no evidence it has made active efforts to resume building nuclear weapons.

Congress must immediately vote on Rep. Khanna and Massie’s War Powers Resolution to stop this war. They must act to restrain this mad, imperial President.
