Brooklyn 🔥

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

Knicks fans are on a generational run 😭 MY MAYOR STILL MUSLIM MY BAGEL STILL JEWISH THE POPE ON OUR SIDE KNICKS IN FIVE!!! 🖐🏽

GOOD MORNING NEW YORK CITY.

Cool article about what NYC looked like in 1973, the last time the Knicks won. The wildest for me is that it was the year that the New York Times introduced Donald Trump to the world: “Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in New York City.” gothamist.com/arts-entertain…

For pride month you can't say "let me get this straight...", you have to say "just so we're queer..."

Would’ve been nice to see this in seafoam green and black before (or after!) the @nyliberty won the championship. 😏 #ShowUsThatYouKnowUs

The iconic green subway entrance railings and globes have been a fixture of New York City for decades. Now they're orange and blue. And for the first time, the globes are basketballs. Finals week hits different in New York.

So proud to release our first ad of the cycle, “Scars”

12,000 New Yorkers could face homelessness as federal Emergency Housing Voucher funding ends early. NYHC’s Director of Policy @BrendanCheney spoke with @DanKrauthABC7 and @ABC7NY about the need for city and state action to protect impacted families. abc7ny.com/post/12000-new-yo…

If you're filing noise complaints against Brooklyn's oldest lesbian bar during Pride, you might be in the wrong neighborhood.   This has been a home for queer Brooklynites for 26 years. Ginger's deserves better.

Union power! We’re still feeling the energy from our incredible union rally this past weekend, even more so as we celebrate HTC’s and LIRR’s successful contract negotiations. I’ve always stood with labor, and I promise to do the same in Washington.

A woman awaiting arraignment in Brooklyn Friday night gave birth in the courtroom, her hands cuffed behind her back throughout. A lawyer who witnessed the whole thing told Hell Gate it was a scene of "complete violence."

I am heartbroken and horrified by today’s mosque shooting in San Diego and the deaths of three victims. This violence is the direct result of the normalization of Islamophobic rhetoric. Leaders who repeat that we are dangerous, invaders, violent, terrorists — the blood of these victims is on your hands. I will not stop speaking out against Islamophobia. As we approach Eid, I will also urge @NYCMayor and @NYPDnews to take extra precautions to ensure our community is safe. This violence was meant to isolate us with fear. Instead, we will stand together in solidarity.

Rode the Bergen Bike Bus today to make a big announcement: We’re redesigning Bergen Street and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave — adding new bike boulevards and more pedestrian space. Safer rides to school for New York City kids coming soon.

Thank you @LincolnRestler for the encouragement — wouldn’t have made it without you! The views of the city were unmatched! Another meticulously planed event by @bikenewyork 👏🏽👏🏽

.@NWSNewYorkNY has issued a Special Weather Statement for NYC for an elevated risk of fire spread until 8PM on Tuesday, 5/5.

Today, Chief Justice John Roberts' Supreme Court betrayed Black voters. Whether America has fundamental rights is hinged on Black folks having fair representation in the country we built. This decision has implications beyond Congress. We must continue to stand up and fight back.
