    Nikki is currently waiting to be released from the 1st Precinct w/ supporters there on-site. It’s clear that using an unmarked van and plainclothes officers to make an arrest for vandalism (in the middle of a peaceful protest) is a massive overstep. I'm exploring legislation.

    We’ve just received confirmation that Nikki has been released. Thank you to all the advocates who have been bringing support and attention. Now it’s time to hear from @NYCMayor about how he will address this arrest and the future of unidentifiable policing in NYC.

    I’ve been working to get details on why a young woman was arrested & pulled into an unmarked van in my District. Right now, we know she’s been fingerprinted & awaiting her desk appearance ticket. We’ve shared this info w/advocates & believe she’ll be released in next hour or so.

    I just spoke to the CO of the 13th who said "the NYPD's Detective Bureau Warrant Division identified a wanted person & carried out an arrest." Clearly we need an ind. review + an immediate explanation for why an unmarked van full of officers was anywhere near a peaceful protest.

    NYC is taking after Portland - a trans femme protestor was pulled into an unmarked van at the Abolition Park protest - this was at 2nd Ave and 25th Street

    Appreciate seeing folks wanting to empower Puerto Ricans, but there's a right way to do it: Give them the power to choose their own status, and provide them the financial stability that they are owed in order to succeed. Anything else is just more colonialism.

    BREAKING: 1 in 4 people in New York State are now fully vaccinated. The end of this pandemic is in sight, if we keep vaccinating, keep getting tested, and keep wearing masks.

    I voted because my grandmother is ill and deserves long-term care. I voted because my mother has worked hard her whole life and deserves social security benefits. I voted because women merit respect and a choice over their healthcare decisions. I voted for Kamala Harris.

    My budget vote was always going to be guided by whether we were investing sufficient dollars from the NYPD into BIPOC communities. @NYCMayor would not work w/ us to make these needed investments, which is why I can not support this year's budget. My remarks from today's vote 🔽.

    I can't wait to go to the Open Streets. I can't wait to go to the locally owned recreational marijuana shop. I can't wait to go to the combination Open Street and locally owned recreational marijuana shop.

    This will jeopardize the health, safety + futures of countless young people studying in the US. It's a disgrace this administration continues to use the pandemic as a cover for xenophobic policies. Another clear reason why we should move to #AbolishICE

    *Never* heard from @NYCTSubway that they were removing benches from a local station in my district. Reasoning was cruel to the homeless, to those who can't stand for long periods of time, to workers that have to wait a while for a late night train. Put the benches back, MTA.

    Since we passed the ban on police chokeholds, many of my colleagues & I have continued working on additional police accountability legislation. I can not support any bill that rolls back the chokehold bill or any other progress we’ve made, when we have so much work still to do.
