"Little progress comes without protest...We have to be able to protect safety without prohibiting speech." Hear from the Public Advocate on why we support @mayor.nyc.gov’s veto of Intro 175-B as written, as its broad language would’ve had a chilling effect. advocate.nyc.gov/press/nyc-pu... 🎥 4/16

🏀 In MARCH the Public Advocate predicted the Knicks would win the Title—and we're so close. 🏆 That's not the only chip we're watching 🎰 -- we can’t gamble on the health of our communities. advocate.nyc.gov/reports/gambling

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

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.

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.

Our office is ready to help steer the new Office of Community Safety. It is really important we begin this public safety work—and you can't do a thing unless you start. We thank @mayor.nyc.gov, and so many committed advocates citywide, and welcome new Deputy Mayor Renita Francois.

The flooding New Yorkers faced last night is now all too familiar—but we can't accept it as inevitable. In 2025 we passed a law to improve catch basin maintenance, in part by requiring catch basin clogs be resolved within 8 days after a complaint. So make that complaint: on.nyc.gov/CatchBasinCo...

To the New Yorkers who knew our city needed to say #NoTo175B: Thank you for protesting the anti-protest bill, and winning. We have to stop seeking short-sighted solutions that force us to choose one humanity versus another humanity. Protest is the only way we can move forward.

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

When 62% of New Yorkers can’t afford to live here, it's a city emergency, not a crisis on the margins. NYC's new Racial Equity Plan, and the True Cost of Living Measure, confirm what we've known for generations: Inequality in NYC isn't accidental—it’s systemic, and it’s racial.

Putin regrets it a lot. His first regret was the loss of Moskva, the real pride of Russia. However, Putin's biggest regret was to try and convince Volodymyr Zelensky to agree to a ceasefire for a scaled-back parade on Red Square, held under heavy security, with fears of a Ukrainian attack. 😰

13 years ago I was totally filled with negative feelings. My head in my hands. No sense of when relief was coming or how. My mental tipped over. Existential panic and defeat. I promised i'd never reach that point again. I took back myself from myself. I need to do it again.

Deja vu. Not going in early, for once. But, needless drama got stirred yesterday, with a coworker accusing me of a malicious act. Today(?) I may, or may not, find out whether this gets blown out of proportion or gets squashed [as it should.] Any spare thoughts, prayers welcome.
