On my holy day I’d like to remind folks that Silence in the face of injustice is not neutrality. It’s betrayal. Here is my statement on the famine crisis in Gaza

A travesty of justice.
#BreonnaTaylor should be alive & we can’t look away. Her life, Black lives, are worth more than a day. Trump Exec Order explicitly stated police should be “unleashed.” Police must be accountable. This isn’t accountability!

No news outlets are talking about how these 2 black mayors have achieved record low homicides in their cities.
BREAKING NEWS: Baltimore finishes the first half of 2025 with the FEWEST HOMICIDES EVER RECORDED.

With Trump, promises made are promises broken. How did we even get here!

ICE didn’t act like law enforcement today, they acted like hired muscle for a cruel agenda. We’re deeply concerned for Brad’s well-being and stand with him. There has to be a better way than arresting public officials for doing the right thing.

Outside Federal Plaza to demand the immediate release of @bradlander. Shame on ICE—and our disgraced Mayor for his collaboration and silence.

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

THIS IS UNEXCEPTABLE !!! NEW YORK CITY WILL NOT BACK DOWN!
Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep. Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another. If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you @realDonaldTrump.

Desperation sparked the conflict, but it doesn’t excuse what’s happening now. Innocent people are being killed. War crimes are being committed by both Israel and Hamas. Accountability is necessary on all sides. A two-state solution is the only path forward.

In New York City, we know drama. But as City Council Speaker, I rise above it. I stopped the Mayor's cuts to pre-K and libraries, and I blocked Trump's ICE from Rikers. I'm running for Mayor. For my children and yours. For affordability, safety, and justice. I'm in it for us.
