As a nurse - I first want to tell everyone to make sure you’re washing your stands and taking necessary precautions! But as a socialist - I want to talk about how this pandemic affecting our country and exposing deep inequalities in our society. (1/7)

I am so honored and proud to have the chance to represent my community. Our win is a victory for every person who is struggling in this state. It is a win for nurses without protective equipment, for Black and Brown people targeted by police violence and chronic disinvestment.

The MTA hiking fares to $2.90. Not being able to pay for transit is the the #1 barrier to CUNY students graduating. And who do we think is going to power NY’s economy in the future? They are robbing the future to let the rich off the hook and calling it “fiscal responsibility”

Anyone who think it’s a good idea to try to scold younger voters out of the rage they feel, get out of politics. Your time is done.

New study shows air quality in the subway is a HAZARD and the longer you have to wait the worse it is for you We had a plan to start to fix these problems with congestion pricing. But the gov thinks saving a few people $15 is more important than the health of millions

How quickly we seem to have moved on from Jordan Neely. We cannot allow ourselves to only move from outrage to fresh outrage. That’s why I co-authored this op-ed. We must do the work to change the systems that led us here to ensure it never happens again

Op-ed | Jordan Neely deserved better | amNewYork

Those who witnessed the choking death of Jordan Neely saw a man in crisis — and his death symbolizes so much of what is wrong in our deeply inequitable city.

It's a win for immigrants deprived of their democratic rights, for tenants who can’t make rent, and for the thousands of unemployed people struggling to survive. Our win is a rejection of politics as usual. This win shows that our time is now.

Congestion pricing is a crucial step towards reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality, and investing in sustainable transportation solutions for all New Yorkers. The Governor needs to do her job and stop letting suburban drivers dictate policy for NYC!

Dear Real Estate Lobbyists, Please stop wasting our collective rent money to buy whack politicians and fruitless elections. The biggest loser on Tuesday was YOU! You should spend the rent on actual services for tenants. They vote for socialists. Sincerely, Phara
