Further evidence for why should be saved: look what happened with . Priceless history lost, new stadium just doesn’t have the same soul. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not a Dolan fan and he should pay his fair share of taxes. BUT save MSG for the fans, not him.

As the ⁦⁩ get ready to play tonight (not for the last time this season!), it’s time to say that ⁦⁩ is a NYC treasure that must be preserved. Too much history, too many beautiful family memories to ever tear it down!

Hopefully today’s the big day for ⁦⁩! LOVE this article from Il Mattino: I got to talk about my grandfather Giovanni and why I’m devoted to Napoli and its people because of him. Bring on the Scudetto! FORZA NAPOLI SEMPRE!!

Harry Belafonte was not only a great entertainer, but he was a courageous leader in the fight against racism and worker oppression. Jane and I were privileged to consider him a friend and will miss him very much.

Remembering this moment, when Harry spoke at our inauguration. For ⁦⁩ and me, he was a voice of conscience, a constant source of energy and a reminder that hope was always present.

Harry had a beautiful restless energy: wherever he saw injustice, he tried to do something about it. And he had a peerless ability to energize and organize others to join him. and I were so blessed by his boundless support and warm friendship.

Speaking today at the in San Diego on the need for fundamental change in the American approach to education. My message: focus on UNIVERSAL Pre-K everywhere in America and re-orient to equity. And that means higher standards, but EVERY child is included.

Here’s what I said recently at ⁦⁩ on why we can’t accept the current trajectory of artificial intelligence. A human-made crisis is developing rapidly, but we can still address it. Demand a moratorium on research going too far, too fast.

Bernie’s profound warning demands action. And anyone who says regulation can’t happen or the topic is too complex, just look at what the is proposing with their AI Act. All over the globe, people are demanding that WE get to decide the future of AI, not Big Tech.

It is imperative that we make sure that new technology like artificial intelligence works for us, and not just a few billionaires who already control everything else about our economy.

Really looking forward to this debate later today! Naysayers and ideologues have been predicting NY’s decline for generations, and they’ve ALWAYS been proven wrong. Never bet against NYC - you will lose EVERY time.

As Mayor, I received many threats from Trump supporters. It became expected, sadly. When Trump attacked me or I opposed something he did, the threats soon followed, almost like clockwork. My message to the Judge: don’t be bullied, don’t back down.

As Donald Trump is finally being held accountable in his hometown, I’ll be on around 11:10am to talk about the impact on NYC and how we New Yorkers can handle whatever’s thrown at us.

My message at ⁦⁩ yesterday was simple: America should quickly emulate the ⁦⁩ and enact real regulation of artificial intelligence. Americans are rapidly waking up to the dangers of AI - now we need to demand action.

Democracy doesn’t protect itself - the strikers in Israel are showing us all what it means to really fight for our values. They are heroes, and their example should be followed wherever democracy is being trampled.

The democracy crisis in Israel has led to Israel’s first ever labor -business - university general strike and shut down. First Ever. Netanyahu’s extremist government, has led to this crisis. They are attempting a coup by denuding the Judiciary. Israelis are saying no!! twitter.com/Nadav_Eyal/sta…

The workers of Israel are giving the entire democratic world a lesson in how to fight autocracy. The fierceness of their opposition to ⁦⁩ Netanyahu will reset Israeli politics and help create a more open society. Thank you, Histadrut!

How many Americans would agree with Trump that our democracy is like “the Gestapo, like China and Russia, only worse?” I encourage him to keep posting and to keep alienating American voters. He lost by 7m votes last time, he’ll lose by 10m next time.

Trump just called Alvin Bragg an “animal.” That’s not just dog-whistling, that’s straight-up, overt racism. In fact, it is Trump who’s acting like an animal - a trapped and cornered animal.
