Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

The Espionage Act has been used for decades to target journalists and whistleblowers who expose wrongdoing.

Use our action center tool to tell lawmakers to pass the Daniel Ellsberg Press Freedom and Whistleblower Protection Act and reform the archaic law.

No Public Dollars for Private Schools Republicans are starving public education by funneling taxpayer dollars out of your pocket and into private schools across the country.

Former Tufts student detained over pro-Palestinian op-ed self-deports as part of Trump admin deal Rumeysa Ozturk left the U.S. after completing her Ph.D., her lawyers said.

It is disgusting that the DOJ feels the need to continue insulting Öztürk on her way out, even after their claims about her have been definitively proven false.

These are awful people.

Vance is of course a trusted source on Catholic theology, since he actually started going to mass a few years ago. Now he’s ‘more Catholic than the Pope’ as my mother used to say about insufferably pompous and judgmental hypocrites of his ilk.

A Texas reporter is criminally charged by police for routine reporting, on the grounds that she sought, received & used information from…those same police. She sued in response but lost. The Supreme Court refused to hear her appeal, though these ‘originalists’ claim to be First Amendment defenders.

Finally, some good news: Journalist Justin Pulliam won a press freedom case against a Texas sheriff after he was arrested in 2021 for filming a welfare check.

This should be a lesson to local law enforcement who violate the rights of journalists doing their job.

@trevortimm.bsky.social explains:

Lebanon: ICRC outraged by deadly strikes in densely populated areas The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is outraged by the devastating death and destruction in densely populated areas across Lebanon today following intensified military operations.

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this.

"Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings."

The war, horrible as it is in itself, signals the basic problem: abuse of power enabled by wealth inequality and media monopolies. Trump will fall and these issues can be addressed. But only if we see how deep is the rot and how pressing is the need. (13/14)

Meanwhile the American vice-president is in Budapest to back up Orbán, Putin’s main ally in Europe, and repeating Russian slanders about Ukraine. Vance and Orbán are both part of a far right network ultimately funded by Russia. (7/14)

We share a vision of a world where U.S. foreign policy actually protects human life and dignity rather than the interests of the powerful or the whims of a madman. That's the fight I'm taking to Congress. (2/2)

A New Policy endorses Brad Lander for Congress.

“Brad Lander has been a lifelong champion for all New Yorkers,” said Tariq Habash, Director and Co-Founder of A New Policy. “From getting arrested for protesting ICE at immigration court, marching in the streets to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and criticizing the NYPD’s treatment of students during campus protests, Brad leads with his actions, including his refusal to take money from AIPAC or corporate interests.”

As the whole world can see with terrifying clarity, we urgently need A New Policy toward the Middle East that reflects our values of freedom, equality, human rights, peace, and the rule of law. That’s why I’m honored to have A New Policy's endorsement in this race. (1/2)
