This op-ed speaks to a huge flaw in capitalism—what we're sold as "free market economics" is actually our food system being rigged in favor of large corporations. Consumers and small businesses pay the price in the form of food deserts and high prices. We need new solutions.

@SolagesNY and I are at East Meadow Jail right now to utilize our rights as state electeds to inspect the facility. The facility has unlawfully denied us entry, even as we handed them a copy of the law. We are working on escalating.

Eric Adams has proposed cuts to early childhood education 9 times totaling over $1B. New Yorkers know Mayor Adams has gone out of his way to undermine 3K and UPK time and again. In an election year he is claiming credit for investments championed by the City Council.

One day, we'll think back to this moment, and we will remember what we did (or didn't do) to protect our immigrant neighbors from being kidnapped, caged, and deported en masse. As legislators, we must pass NY4All and Dignity not Detention. It's not enough, but it's a start.

Amazing profile of my friend and comrade, @sarahana. Her success is a reminder—a sustainable planet, an affordable place to live, and human rights for all aren't rarified ideals. They are universal things that all NYers want and deserve. cityandstateny.com/personality/20…

We need the road diet in the north *now*

We cannot adopt our way out of this crisis. Upstream is the only way. We need to expand affordable spay/neuter services and access to veterinary care. City-funded vet clinics will keep pets with their families & reduce the burden on rescue groups and our overcrowded shelters.

We are losing access to essential food programs so billionaires can get tax breaks and Trump can build an army to terrorize immigrants. New York must do more to raise revenues and protect our people.

Sexual harassment by the governor is not only reprehensible because it is demeaning and gross. It’s also because your taxes are used to pay out the damages— we collectively deserve better.

This is just 1 piece of the PPL transition failure (there are several), but we should all be deeply concerned that PPL's new CEO operates a private equity firm. CDPAP enables life-giving care. Private equity bleeds industries to death for profit. timesunion.com/state/article/…

“Their conditions deteriorated day by day due to inadequate access to medical care, nutritious food, sleep, sunlight and fresh air.” This is what our country is doing to people. We owe it to these women—and to our own humanity—to refuse to look away. tuftsdaily.com/article/2025/0…

We have an absurd amount of evidence of Mayor Adams' corruption (not to mention ineffectiveness), but the billionaire class appears to still prefer him to Zohran. What do you think that's about?

Our legacy will be a planet choked by plastic unless we get serious about solving this problem. We must pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows How did the city do it? Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

We're launching a special Look Local First campaign with Shop Small Greenpoint during the G train weekend shutdowns. Support the amazing small businesses that make Greenpoint great. Check out the map & shop local always- but especially when the G is down. bit.ly/looklocalfirst

Newsflash: Eric Adams and his team are wildly corrupt.

While investigating @Adobe for deceptive subscription practices, we discovered an executive admitting that hidden early termination fees are “a bit like heroin” for the company. Subscription tricks and traps have surged as more firms become dependent on subscription-based…

JGR is a fierce champion for working people, a brilliant legislator, and a friend. I'm so proud to endorse her for state Senator!

While staff attorneys are struggling to pay their rent, the Big Bad Budget increased ICE funding by 400%. The @alaa2325 members are striking for increased funding to bolster legal defenses for the most vulnerable, and fortifying the city against a hostile federal government.
