New York City, we’re under a Blizzard Warning from 6 a.m. Sunday to 6 p.m. Monday, with 13–18 inches of snow expected — and possibly more in some areas.
Snow starts Sunday morning, intensifies at night, and will make the Monday morning commute extremely dangerous.
Stay off
Trump’s tariffs were an illegal tax on the American people long before the Supreme Court ruled as much.
We knew that from the very start, and so did the president.
In this next post in our series on Digital Blackface in the World of AI, we turn to the present moment, where the patterns of appropriation have simply evolved with technology. From viral reaction memes built on the faces and expressions of Black creators, to fake accounts made
New York's 9th District, it's my honor to invite you to join me for a Listening Meet & Greet Session tomorrow, February 19th, at the Brooklyn Public Library! I want to hear about the federal issues that matter most to you, so let's talk about them!
In this next post in our series on Digital Blackface in the World of AI, we turn to the present moment, where the patterns of appropriation have simply evolved with technology. From viral reaction memes built on the faces and expressions of Black creators, to fake accounts made to spread racist, Pro-MAGA agendas through the likeness of non-consenting Black folks, social media has become a new frontier for an old practice. What looks like “internet humor” or “just a trend” often echoes a deeper history: Black expression consumed, exploited, and monetized—while Black people themselves remain underpaid or excluded from the profits our image and culture generates. If we are serious about equity in the age of AI, we must confront how frequently Black identity becomes performance material for clicks, clout, and corporate gain.

Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder was a tragedy, and anyone who says otherwise has no place in public service.
However, I will not pretend to respect the harmful ideologies he proudly held, nor will I honor a man who built a career out of dishonoring Americans like me.
I voted no.
Jimmy Kimmel’s firing was an absurd abuse of power – that’s why I joined with @repfrankpallone to demand an FCC Oversight hearing IMMEDIATELY so we can have an opportunity to hold Chairman Brendan Carr accountable for weaponizing the FCC against free speech and expression.
Trump is hellbent on whitewashing the African American experiences in this country. No matter how many signs or exhibits this administration removes from our nation’s museums or national parks, our history will not be silenced.
The American people have a right to know history in its entirety: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — and we have it all. History will record the fact that, on the orders of Donald Trump in the year 2025, all these historical artifacts were removed to distort the past to appease denialists.
As we mark the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, please join me in celebrating our beloved Latino neighbors!
Now more than ever, they deserve to know how deeply we value their cultures and contributions.
Now more than ever, they deserve to know we will always stand with them.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party are determined to drag this country back to a time when Black voices were shut out of the democratic process.
We will not allow it.
The stakes are far too high.
And this fight is far from over.
As we pause today to remember the lives lost on #September11th – a day that forever changed our city, our nation, and the way we live – join me in honoring the first responders, families, and communities who experienced unimaginable loss.
Like all proud daughters of New York City, I will never forget where I was on that fateful day, and the countless stories of bravery and unity that emerged from such a dark moment in time.
Wishing all of our city’s students, parents, teachers, and faculty a very happy First Day of School!
Another year, another special West Indian Day Parade alongside our dear friends and neighbors from across the diaspora!
Our cultures and communities are unlike any others, and that is why I am truly blessed to call myself a woman of Caribbean descent.
One Love, everybody!
