I am tired of having to explain why our neighbors deserve to die with dignity, but I will keep pushing for Medical Aid in Dying because this is a cause rooted in love, and everyone deserves this choice.

Second this. @MichaelLangeNYC has been consistent with nuanced observations and analysis about communities that many people often miss.
I can also say with authority that @MichaelLangeNYC had already written up his prediction that Zohran would win in advance of the Emerson poll dropping. He came to the correct conclusion when zero RCV polls showed Zohran in the lead.

There’s no spin, justification, or defense that ICE or Trump’s Admin can offer that will make @bradlander look like anything but a hero. This is a clear-eyed defense of justice, decency, and the law. This is how leaders across the country can use their power to fight back. Thank.

I worked in Congress during the Iran Deal, which was led by President Obama. Ensuring Iran doesn’t develop nuclear weapons has always been a bipartisan priority. Diplomatic talks had broken down, and sitting by while Iran develops nuclear capability is not the responsible.
A Bronx Assemblywoman representing Yankee Stadium is backing Netanyahu’s reckless bombing campaign—an escalation that risks dragging the U.S. into another disastrous forever war. Hard to square that with Democratic Party values.

A nuclearized Iran is danger to the United States, to the Middle East, and to our closest ally in the region, Israel. After failure of diplomatic efforts, Israel has taken an important step to protect its long term security, and ours, by preventing Iran from gaining the power.

Political motivated killings are a direct result of violent political rhetoric. The murder of two individuals attending the @AJCGlobal event last night was a horrifying act of political violence. There is a straight line between these murders, and the ever increasingly violent.

What an incredible display of solidarity with our community in this time of mourning. Thank you, Governor.
New York is proud to be home to over one million Dominican Americans. Tonight, landmarks across the state are illuminated in the colors of the Dominican flag to show that in this time of pain and anguish, New York stands with the Dominican Republic.
