Every year, we have to fight for the basic opportunities of CUNY students to have a quality, affordable education, and for educators and staff to be compensated fairly. It's time for something different. Thank you to everyone fighting for a #CUNYforAll.

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
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.
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.
Rich donors try to build our budgets behind closed doors, but these decisions should be in the people's hands. 🧮 Check out our new interactive Build-A-Budget tool, and submit your version of the budget to help push the governor to FINALLY tax the rich. advocate.nyc.gov/BuildABudget

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.
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.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE..... Nothing unusual, it's just that the mayor of Lima (Peru) decided to test an electric shocker for the police on his own advisors They say he volunteered. #AureFreePress #News #press #peru
Apologies go to the room, not the Black men harmed. A disability can explain behavior, but it doesn’t erase impact. Delroy Lindo said they “did what we had to do.” That’s the pattern: endure, stay composed, move on. Then people question why we build our own spaces. #Bafta20026

1/2 This morning I underlined two things: 1) evidence that foreign nationals likely joined “tourist” shooting at civilians in besieged Sarajevo from VRS lines; 2) signs that Domagoj Margetić falsified documents on that topic with help from segments of Serbia’s so‑called “pro‑Western” opposition. 👇

When communities speak up together, leaders pay attention. In this episode, we talk about how consistent advocacy around prevention programs, reimbursement, and access to care can influence funding and policy decisions. Watch the full conversation: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
The crime isn’t standing firmly for a political ideology and the rule of law. The crime is abducting Imran Khan from the High Court. The Crime is stealing the footage of the #May9th_falseflag. The crime is stealing the people’s mandate. The crime is the Islamabad Massacre. #AsimLaw

“Prices will drop”. Yes, of course prices will drop one day, as always. It is a wave, and when that happens, they will be shouting from the rooftops again about how great Trump is doing. This is a perfect example of hypocrisy….
Virat used to dominate Pakistan. Dhoni used to dominate Pakistan. But this guy? 👀🔥 Looks like he’s ready to terrorise Pakistan bowling for the next 15-20 years 😭💀 The fearlessness, intent, and confidence at this age already look different from normal young players.
And, the WH took 3 days to finally release a "summary" of his latest health report results. This is quite reminiscent of how the WH's DOJ took months to release only redacted portions of just some of the Epstein Files... "The Truth is [still] Out There —The eXpstein Files

Please do as Liz asks. Senators must not approve any of this & you will be held accountable by we the people if you take one done from this illegal bribe fund. I'm talking to you lady G.
