NOW: NYU students and others are walking out today in a national protest against ICE. A flier for the action reads: “Solidarity with Minneapolis means attack.” Minnesota isn’t standing alone anymore.

These raids on buses, in neighborhood are about controlling movement, criminalizing poverty, &deciding who deserves to belong and treated as equal human beings. This is the MAGA regime making white supremacy worse, policing Black, brown, immigrant, & working New Yorkers into fear

🧵(1/5) Yesterday on the BX41 Select Bus in The Bronx, I witnessed one of the most aggressive fare “checks” I’ve ever seen. Four MTA cops boarded, demanding fares and IDs.

🧵(4/5) It shouldn’t take someone stepping in for people to feel safe on public transit. Transit is supposed to be an essential resource, not a checkpoint. What happened on the BX41 is connected to ICE raids in Chinatown yesterday—different uniforms, same agenda.

Ben & Jerry’s is the only major company I know of that has repeatedly lobbied for Black American Reparations. Two older men with access who have no incentive other than justice, are now being punished and silenced for their unwavering support of Palestine. I’m not heartbroken, im galvanized. We continue to fight the good fight ✊🏾

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal #FreeBenAndJerrys

The people in this room encompass socialists, progressives, religious clergy, elected officials, union leaders, people of every walk of life. One thing we all share? We are New Yorkers. Sons and daughters of the Greatest City in the World. And we believe it can become greater.

I was inspired by Bernie Sanders. His courage, clarity, commitment to building politics rooted in working-class power. I joined his 2020 campaign as a National Organizer and when the pandemic hit, I ran for City Council here in The Bronx. I saw how hard it is to break through—

In my very biased and unapologetic opinion, New York is the absolutely greatest. I’m so damn grateful that this city raised me, an Indo-Caribbean queer woman who is committed to fighting for a city, state, country, and world we deserve.

Working-class, immigrant, queer, Black, brown — all of us who’ve been told to wait our turn. This win is for us. From the Bronx to Astoria to every block where someone’s dared to dream of something better: this is proof we’re not alone. And we’re not done!
