The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Americans don’t want war.

We want healthcare.

We want good education for all, free of debt.

We want everyone to have housing.

We want livable wages.

The ruling class gets rich off war while the working class dies.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

I have never met a CEO whose labor is worth 719 times more than their average worker.

Never.

Yet at Target, that’s how much more CEO Brian Cornell makes compared to the average Target worker.

In honor of Earth Day, this is a photo of an angry goose that was so mad at my presence that she stood on the edge of this dam and watched me until I was out of her sight. I respect that kind of anger and hope to emulate her energy.

Stop the SAVE Act The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

The SAVE Act would prevent millions of eligible voters from participating in our democracy, like married women, naturalized citizens, trans people, and people with low incomes.

Tell Congress: Vote NO on this bill and protect our right to vote.

Today I confronted β€œborder czar” Tom Homan who came to Albany to do Trump’s bidding β€” push for mass deportations, carry out the assault on working class New Yorkers, and justify the unjustifiable detention of legal permanent resident and father-to-be, Mahmoud Khalil.

Whether you changed your name because you got married or any other reason, the SAVE Act could keep you and millions of others from being able to vote.

Tell Congress: Protect our democracy and reject this dangerous bill.

Whoops, clarifying that I love this movie and I hope it keeps winning awards.

Let’s all be feminists and let’s stop building rock cairns everywhere we go.

First post courtesy this pic my aunt sent me of my mom on her horse… Rasputin? Too amazing not to share.

Been a rough week but can’t wait to hang out with her at home again. Best mom and friend in the world.
