Mais uma vez, foi o povo brasileiro que me mostrou que nenhum sonho é grande demais quando a gente caminha junto. ❤️🇧🇷
Foram dias incansáveis. Cada caminhada, cada ato e cada passeata foram muito mais do que momentos de campanha. Foram encontros de sonhos que se transformaram em conquistas concretas, como o fim da jornada de trabalho 6x1.
Cada mão estendida e cada sorriso me lembravam por que dediquei minha vida à luta pelos trabalhadores e trabalhadoras deste país.
Saímos dessa caminhada mais fortes, mais unidos e mais mobilizados pela garantia de um futuro melhor.
Obrigado, Brasil, por cada abraço, cada lágrima, cada sorriso e por nunca soltar a minha mão.
Nossa história ainda tem muitas páginas bonitas para escrever.
Amanhã, dia 25 de outubro, vamos escrever mais uma delas. Juntos, pelo Brasil que a gente ama e pelo futuro que o nosso povo merece! ❤️⭐ 1️⃣3️⃣

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

I set out to write a *spoiler-free* review of YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING that would still make for a worthwhile read after you’ve watched the film. This was the result (link below):

More than 100 elected officials have joined me in calling on parking lot and garage owners across New York City: Don’t give ICE a place to operate. Don’t rent to them. Tell them they’re not welcome.
Last week, ICE agents shot Oscar Belgal in the neck in Marble Hill while his 5-year-old son sat in the car. They had been staging nearby in a private parking lot.
Our city laws keep ICE off public property. Now, we’re calling on private property owners to do the same. One garage on Morton Street already removed ICE vehicles after neighbors spoke out. Every owner has that power.

As a dual citizen of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Nation and the U.S., today I’m reminded of our resistance and our resilience, and that the fight against colonialism is not done.
We have survived even in the face of genocide, displacement, and assimilationist policies meant to erase our cultures, languages, and histories. For generations, the federal government has ignored its treaties and obligations, threatened our sacred sites, and polluted our water and ancestral homelands.
But we’re still here — over 180,000 Native Americans call New York City home. We honor Lenapehoking, the homeland of the Lenape people, and the people of many Native Nations from across North America who live here today.
With courage and persistence we continue our fight: for justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people, for housing and a livable planet, for our land back, for the sovereignty Indian Country deserves.
And we carry that struggle across the world: for Puerto Rican self-determination, for a free Palestine, for land defenders in the Amazon, and for the freedom of Indigenous and working class people everywhere.
But today we celebrate: not only our fight, but our culture and our crafts, our languages and our land, our ancestors and our elders. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.
The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.
The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

We first wanted "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin but couldn't get the rights (too much $!) BUT "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by "I. Ron Butterfly" ended up being so much funnier.
Sometimes budget concerns lead to extra creativity! Embrace that ethos.
31 years ago today, Bart Simpson pranked his church into singing “Inna Godda da Vida.”
#TheSimpsons episode “Bart Sells His Soul” first aired October 8, 1995.

I am angry tonight.
Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.
This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.
Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.
Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.
Abolish ICE.

Big union news in Queens: a new unit of Amazon drivers went public today in Woodside, marching on the boss to demand union recognition.
Amazon wants to make billions off these workers' backs by denying them fair pay and basic protections. But these drivers are uniting to win what they deserve. Proud to join them.
