New York City's new Office of Deed Theft Prevention is an important win for homeowners—especially Black and Brown New Yorkers—at risk of losing their legacies. We thank @mayor.nyc.gov for launching the office, and the advocates who were courageous enough to keep fighting deed theft.

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.
As voting rights are gutted, the injustice in the South is echoing across our country. We can’t stand by as Black power is dismantled and diluted. It's a crisis for all of us, for all who believe the vote is precious. We do this work for our democracy and for future generations.
People struggling with substance use disorder must be treated as human beings in need of support. So supportive housing, like the soon-to-be-expanded Anchor House, is vital. We owe it to those who lost their lives to reduce the harm wrought on their communities by this epidemic.
The Trump administration is about chaos, and fear, and harm. It is not about protecting you. It is not about protecting young people like Dylan Lopez Contreras. It is not about protecting families. We are so happy that Dylan was finally released. Now let's get everyone home.
The free press is under attack, and monopolizing mergers like the Warner Bros-Paramount deal will further reduce trust and independence in media. This will increase CEO profits while hurting creators and consumers alike. #BlockTheMerger
At a time when we need young people to protest more, not less, the educational buffer zone bill is alarming. Intro 175-B, which curbs free speech and protest at "educational facilities," is too easy to abuse and will have a chilling effect on New Yorkers pushing for change. #NoTo175B
If you can't connect to the internet, you're cut off from government services, job opportunities, and even your community. That's why the internet should be a utility, like water. Read our plan to help make internet access a right for all New Yorkers: advocate.nyc.gov/Connected
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.
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.
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
Chris Bryant says he is a remainer and would like the UK to be back in the UK But then mistakes tactical voting in 2024 to get rid of the Conservatives for endorsing Labour's Brexit red lines It's this type of dishonesty from politicians that is a disgrace

"There is also a tradition where Defense secretaries attempt to minimize their overtly partisan behavior," said Missy Ryan. "They try to, in the name of national security, act more as a nonpartisan actor, and Pete Hegseth has totally discarded that tradition."

This animated video actually shocked me to the core. The overt racism detailed here should sicken anyone with a decent moral compass. At some point, I expect to see Donald Trump do an “Address to the Nation” in full Ku Klux Klan regalia. 😡😡
