New from me and @LiuNewYork in @CityAndStateNY: Why NYC’s millionaires should pay their fair share to make up for Trump’s tax cuts and fund the city we all deserve (Except it’s not that new because we’ve been saying this for a while 😉) cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026/0…

Schoolkids are NYC’s biggest responsibility, so public school governance, enrollment, and funding are top of agenda now that the election is over. Looking forward to blazing the path ahead with our new mayor @ZohranKMamdani ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

New York’s immigrants have long had the right to safety, dignity, and due process, and we will fight at every level of government to ensure they have it.

@julian__gerson @Boringstein So well done

We had a lot of fun making Until It’s Done over these last few months. A love letter to New York and a statement of intent for what Zohran will achieve from City Hall. A privilege to close with Vito Marcantonio’s story. And a daily honor to watch @Boringstein make amazing art.

On Sunday night, 44,000 women gathered with @WinWithBLKWomen to support Kamala Harris, and they raised over $1 million. It’s our turn to show up. So that’s what we’re doing. All are welcome. Tell your people. Register now at AnswertheCall2024.com

Big casino companies and the state itself must up their ante to safeguard Asian American communities from predatory practices. @AMGraceLee @SenIwenChu @SenKevinThomas @JeremyCooneyROC @BrianKavanaghNY nydailynews.com/2024/03/03/jud…

W/ @graceleefornyc @SenIwenChu @BrianKavanaghNY @ roundtable on the impact of gambling on AAPI NYers who will be significantly impacted by the creation of new casinos. As casinos consider downstate they must be accountable for mitigating harm and providing services in language

@GEHadji Congrats!

Remember the IDC? One of its former members, Tony Avella, is trying a political comeback to the city council, but the race is very close ... and this is a ranked-choice voting race! (So the 2nd choice of supporters of Paul Graziano will determine the final result.)

.@NYSenate just passed bill to require teaching of #aanhpi experience in public schools! This is a huge step forward in our fight against anti-Asian hate with understanding that Asian American history is American history @KevinThomasNY @SenatorCooney @Iwen4NY @reach_coalition

Celebrating a historic $30M investment to support critical services for New York’s AAPI communities with the AAPI Equity Budget Coalition!

@agounardes @MGounardes Congrats!

Look who arrived just in time for Mother’s Day!? We are thrilled to welcome precious James Andrew into the world, born 5/10/23. Little Iakovos arrived earlier than expected, but that’s just because he couldn’t wait to meet his Mommy, Daddy, and most of all, his Big Brother.

The need in our communities is real and urgent. New York has an opportunity to invest in AAPI communities and deliver real impact to their lives. From @AMGraceLee and me ⬇️cityandstateny.com/opinion/2023/0…

OPINION | The state minimum wage should be increased to $21.25 and then indexed to keep up with inflation While CEOs and executives rake in historic salaries, working New Yorkers deserve a raise, @LiuNewYork writes. trib.al/CjRL2NX

Thank you to the NY legislators leading the charge for .05 BAC @LiuNewYork @JoAnneSimonBK52 #drunkdrivingendshere

It's 2023 and I'm thrilled to see our #AAPI caucus growing in the @NYSenate & Assembly! #Representationmatters

I began my career holding Wall Street accountable during the financial crisis & protecting families from foreclosure. In the State Senate, I have fought for bold legislation to challenge politics as usual. Today, I'm proud to announce my candidacy for U.S. Congress. #CA47

@agounardes @goodreads Are you a member of the Historical Society of the New York Courts? Anyone who is reading this book should be….

Kicking off my 2023 @goodreads reading challenge with some timely subway reading.

Seems twitter is almost over, I’ll miss it. It was an indispensable tool for organizing against the IDC in 2017-18. Twitter connected so many folks in NY who wanted to flip the NYS Senate blue (which we did!), & it spread the anti-IDC message far & wide (&ruffled a few feathers!)

.@GovKathyHochul has signed S9460/A10498 to reduce excessive class sizes. Nice way to welcome kids back to school! My thoughts:
