Natasha Cloud knows what it means to be a New Yorker. @T_Cloud4.
After practice today, I asked Natasha Cloud about Trump’s callous rhetoric directed towards Zohran Mamdani in the days since Zohran’s Democratic mayoral primary win here in NYC. As always, Tash spoke with compassion, with urgency, with morality. (🎥: @busyxb)

And don’t even start with me on the part where Trump praised his vassal Eric Adams while uttering these vile threats. If he had even a shred of decency left, @NYCMayor would denounce Trump’s authoritarian threats.
"Adams is a very good person. I helped him out a little bit. He had a problem, and he was unfairly hurt over this question," Trump says, calling it a Biden indictment.

Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents arrested me. Now, he’s threatening to put @zohrankmamdani in a prison camp that he’s building in a Florida swamp – for thousands of our immigrant neighbors being disappeared from our courts & communities w/o due process. It’s.
My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Getting to know @ruwaromman was one of the joys of this week!. And credit where it’s due: I adopted “fighters vs. folders” from @GregCasar. Let’s get out there and fight for a city (and country) that everyone can afford, and where everyone belongs.
A lot of people keep talking about a left vs moderate rift in the party, but it’s clear the rift is between who stands up for all versus who throws any of us under the bus for gain. @bradlander said it perfectly, it’s the fighters vs. the folders.

Took me a few days to get back out for a run in @prospect_park. Muscles a little stiff, but soul restored as usual. Sappy as it is, somehow every time I still feel verklempt w/gratitude for Olmsted & Vaux & @NYCParks & the Alliance & the fact that we can do things like this. 🤷🏻♂️

Anyone can go to immigration hearings to bear witness, offer support, and stand up for due process and the rule of law. We must keep showing up for our immigrant neighbors in whatever way we can. Always a pleasure talking with @AliVelshi!
