All of us must push back against all forms of hate, including antisemitism. Everyone should have the right to be who they are, worship who they worship, and walk freely. There are some who wish to make it so America can hate again and freely—we must form a united front against that.

Stay cool, NYC! We can keep each other safe—including during this heat wave. If you don't have A/C, find a cooling center near you: finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters We can also work to protect each other from unlawful immigration arrests. Whatever happens, stay cool. 🎦: July 2025
New York City is a melting pot of culture—or a baking pan. We loved joining JCRC-NY and Jewish New Yorkers for a celebratory Purim hamantaschen crawl, meeting local businesses and sampling their delicious desserts. May we all find joy, community, and sweetness wherever we can.

As much as MAGA dehumanizes immigrants, we have to re-humanize our neighbors, uplifting their stories. Stories of people like Allan Dabrio Marrero and his family. Allan was wrongfully detained at a routine Green Card hearing. Now he's free, we must use our pain to free others.
A year ago, Mahmoud Khalil was abducted because he spoke out against the government’s actions—while being an immigrant. While being Palestinian. And while being a New Yorker. We will continue to stand up to protect students, like Leqaa Kordia, and all of our neighbors—and freedom of speech.
We want New Yorkers on both sides of the bars at Rikers to be safer—one way to achieve that is by getting people with complex medical and mental health concerns the treatment they need. Now, more New Yorkers will be able to successfully re-enter their communities from the new Bellevue facility.

Continuing President Trump’s illegal war in Iran only weakens America while driving up costs for working families. A prolonged conflict drains our resources and creates new opportunities for our adversaries.

Evans gets Kucherov with a cross-check, two minute minor Kucherov is apparently totally fine on the bench
America has survived bad policies before. What it can't survive is undermining the Constitution, the rules, and the institutions that hold democracy together. That's the real danger, and that's why defending liberal democracy comes before any policy disagreements.
JD Vance says he told Karoline Leavitt he's ONLY filling in as press secretary for the day on "ONE CONDITION": "When Usha has our baby in July that SHE would be Vice President for a couple of weeks!" He has a great sense of humor. I love this guy. 48!

You are 100% right! As a society we must learn to listen without judgment. Match others' energy and only give back what they are willing to give you. We all must freely use our voice without restraint or limitation. What we have to say is important and due the respect it deserves. SPEAK UP!
