I am proud to sign onto this statement.

#AbolishICE is the floor - NOT the ceiling.

ABOLISH ICE. END NYPD VIOLENCE. 17 New York State Socialists in Office and Democratic nominees respond to Thursday’s shooting of Oscar Belgal and call to abolish ICE, end NYPD assistance of ICE, and disband NYPD’s SRG.

On Thursday, ICE agents in Upper Manhattan shot, wounded, and kidnapped Oscar Belgal. Wearing masks and construction vests, ICE fired seven rounds into a car, shooting Mr. Belgal in the neck while his 5-year-old child cried in terror. ICE then seized Mr. Belgal from NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital and sped away in an unmarked vehicle, while NYPD officers cleared a path and attacked protestors. Mr. Belgal’s whereabouts are unknown.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. ICE agents are a threat to public safety, due process, and the rule of law. There is no reforming this degree of lawlessness and cruelty. We reiterate our demand for Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and all congressional Democrats to publicly support the abolition of ICE and work to defund and dismantle this fascist agency.

New Yorkers bravely stood up against ICE’s attacks on immigrants last night, only to be obstructed and assaulted by NYPD officers. Jessica Tisch must end police assistance for ICE operations and disband NYPD’s Strategic Response Group—and if she won’t, she must be fired. Additionally, the New York City Council must pass the CURB Act (Int. 796 / Ossé) to ban all of SRG’s abusive practices.

As Socialists in Office, we are committed to strengthening New York’s laws to end all collaboration with ICE once and for all. That includes the State passing New York For All and the Safe Access to Care Act (A11537 / Forrest) to protect hospitals and healthcare workers from ICE. ICE out of New York now!

Agents surrounded him and A 5-YEAR OLD CHILD in his car before firing multiple rounds. There is no reforming this barbarism. Abolish ICE is the bare fucking minimum.

My joint statement with @tiffanycaban.bsky.social calling on @nycparks.bsky.social to pause the RFP process for the proposed tennis bubble in Astoria Park:

As elected officials representing Astoria Park, we have closely followed the Parks Department’s Request for Proposals (RFP)
for a new indoor “tennis bubble.”

This proposed bubble would cover at least 8 of Astoria Parks’s 14 tennis courts for half of each year during the indoor season. The Parks Department is seeking a for- or non-profit concessionaire to construct and operate the bubble and a clubhouse for the next 20 years. The concessionaire would also be responsible for the resurfacing and lighting of all 14 tennis courts, along with other capital improvements.

We have heard from hundreds of constituents concerned about this proposal and the potential for expensive hourly rates, limited court accessibility, insufficient free court hours, and more.

Many residents are rightfully skeptical of the licensing of public parkland to a private entity, with no guarantee that proceeds will be invested back into our parks, at a moment when the Parks Department should be receiving adequate funding and completing projects like this themselves. We share their belief that green space should be as open and
accessible to the public as possible.

We have held and attended numerous meetings with the Parks Department and our constituents about this proposal.

Last month, we submitted a request for the Parks Department to, for the first time, meet directly with a group of concerned constituents, and they agreed. We are currently waiting to hear back from the Parks Department to schedule a meeting in November.

In the meantime, we are calling on the Parks Department to pause the RFP process for the proposed tennis bubble.

As demonstrated by the overwhelming opposition from our constituents, additional community outreach by the Parks Department is necessary before any changes to our tennis courts can move forward. Awarding a contract at this time would erode public trust in local government to be responsive to their concerns.

We are committed to working with the Parks Department and our constituents to protect our public parkland and ensure generations to come can enjoy Astoria Park and its tennis courts.

It’s a beautiful day to stand with Amazon workers fighting for a union and the passage of the Delivery Protection Act! Amazon tries to squeeze everything from the workers who create Jeff Bezos’s obscene wealth. But they’re fighting back, and we’ve got their back! ✊🏽

As the only New York elected from Ecuador who represents Latino immigrants living through a political crisis, I reflected on what it meant to return to my homeland which is suffering from a parallel crisis of democracy in @democraticleft.bsky.social:

I was alarmed to learn that costs and wait time for materials needed to upgrade our energy infrastructure have increased exponentially due to data centers! This is another reason we need a federal moratorium on data centers, and for Gov. Hochul to sign the statewide moratorium bill into law!

This week, I joined community leaders in touring Con Edison's Vernon Substation to learn more about the energy system powering our homes and businesses in Western Queens, and meet some of the union workers who operate and maintain it.

Happy Rent Freeze Day! 🏠❄️ This month, we canvassed rent-stabilized buildings in Astoria to let our neighbors know that rents are frozen on leases starting Oct. 1 (TODAY!), their rights as tenants, and how to report violations. Organized tenants mobilized to win this. It’s up to us to defend it.

@dianaforqueens.com Oct 1, 2026, 1:20 AM

We are in a unique political moment to win big for both New York’s working families, and the workers who care for our precious children. I’m ready get to work and make taxing the rich to fund childcare a top priority for our office next legislative session. 🫡✊🏽✨

Thank you @actionlabny.bsky.social for inviting my colleagues and I to the NYS Childcare Alignment Table. This powerful event convened childcare providers, workers, parents, and unions to align on a vision for universal childcare that includes dignified wages and workplace conditions!
