💥 Big news: I’m running for Congress in New York’s 12th District! NYC has always been a place where anyone from anywhere can become someone—but that dream’s under attack. I’ve spent my life standing up to bullies. Now I’m ready to do it for all of us. 👉 https://t.co/tkHLIAZJQB

Last night I was proud to attend the @RuPaulsDragRace Season 18 premiere. At a moment when drag artists and LGBTQ+ communities are under attack by right wing extremists, we stand with them. We celebrate their creativity, their courage, and their joy. And we fight alongside them

Great to stop by Keepers of the City, hosted by NY1’s own @errollouis who was even portrayed on SNL recently, a true New York milestone. This annual award—presented in partnership with @dc37nyc and Straus Media—honors the New Yorkers who keep our city running day in and day out.

. He was a public school teacher for decades, a proud UFT member, and an active leader in the Stonewall Democrats, the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club, and so many community spaces that make our city stronger.

I am devastated by the passing of my dear friend Charles Bayor, one of my strongest champions and one of the kindest, most committed advocates I have ever known. A true cornerstone of the Penn South community, Charles believed deeply in civic life and lived those values every day

Grateful to meet with @RepRobertGarcia, Ranking Member of House Oversight, who’s been at the forefront of demanding accountability and transparency in the Epstein probe. In Congress, I’ll join him in the Equality Caucus and stand up for oversight, equality, and honest government.
