Soon, every day will be ‘Take Your Child to Work Day' for several city employees, and we're excited to welcome our newest, tiniest neighbors to the David N. Dinkins Building. It was a pleasure to join partners in government and labor to announce a new City child care pilot.

Even as Trump and his cronies sow chaos and fear, we can and must do everything in our power to protect our communities. @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social's NYC Know Your Rights Act will equip New Yorkers with information they need to more effectively exercise their rights—let's get it passed.
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
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.
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.
Recently we joined Hon. Shahabuddeen A. Ally and @nycplanning.bsky.social Commissioner Leah Goodridge to tour New York County Housing Court. Hear some of the Public Advocate's takeaways, for tenants and homeowners. More about legal and rental assistance via NYC HRA: www.nyc.gov/site/hra/hel...
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
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.
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...
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.
Eid Mubarak to all New Yorkers who are celebrating. May your Ramadan be remembered as meaningful, peaceful, and spiritually fulfilling. This Ramadan was a time of reflection, compassion, service, and community—values that strengthen our faith and our shared sense of humanity.

Trump still thinks the gold at Fort Knox isn’t real. With a war in Iran and rising gas and grocery prices, this doesn't seem like where the president's attention should be.
I'm sure they'll offer cutesy watered down bible study only eventually like the weasly little Puritans they are. Take a look 🧐 it's in a book. 📖 Reading rainbow! 🌈🤭 Anyways, we still have dangerous adults that rape children and allow abuse of them in the administration and in laws. Let's focus. 😁
🟠 NOTIZIE DEL GIORNO Trump ha fatto sapere che la guerra contro l'Iran "finirà presto". A Teheran sono arrivati i mediatori del Pakistan e del Qatar. Alla riunione dei ministri Nato in Svezia, gli Stati Uniti hanno spinto gli alleati a spendere di più per la difesa.

The intimidation is the point, and Michiganders will not be intimidated out of free and fair elections. This request for Wayne County's 2020 ballots is based on discredited allegations. It's another attempt by President Trump to cast doubt on our elections before the midterms.
