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.

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.
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

Told @cnn that Trump tying the Iran deal with regional accession to the Abraham Accords will ensure that the war continues. But Trump may be raising the Accords to bolster his pro-Israeli credentials and deflect from inevitable criticism that his deal is opposed by Israel.
