Jair Bolsonaro just learned the hard way that New Yorkers don’t turn a blind eye to oppression. We called his bigotry out. He ran away. Not surprised — bullies usually can’t take a punch.
Good riddance. Your hatred isn’t welcome here.
I spoke with late last night. He’s donating hundreds of ventilators to New York City and State, including our public hospitals. We’re deeply grateful. We need every ventilator we can get our hands on these next few weeks to save lives.
Mayor Sadiq Khan is doing an extraordinary job supporting Londoners in a time of pain. President Trump's attack on him is unacceptable.
. if you want to barge into our city and brag about destroying our environment or how you’re a “proud homophobe” then New Yorkers are going to call you on your crap.
If it’s “radical” to stand up against your destructive ideology, then we’re PROUD radicals.

This morning we committed to move resources from the NYPD to youth and social services as part of our City’s budget.
Our young people need to be reached, not policed.
We can do this AND keep our city safe.
Dear ,
The ultimate city of immigrants just had its safest 3 months in modern history.
Stop vilifying our people.
Thanks,

I was a cook. I was a dishwasher. If nobody came to my restaurant when I was in college, I wouldn’t have been able to survive. When you talk about closing down our city, you're talking about putting low-wage workers out of a job. I’m not letting that happen.
Men who don’t like women taking up space are exactly why we need the Fearless Girl.
New York City: We are lifting the curfew, effective immediately. Yesterday and last night we saw the very best of our city.
Tomorrow we take the first big step to restart. Keep staying safe. Keep looking out for each other.
My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed. I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period.
Jair Bolsonaro is a dangerous man. His overt racism, homophobia and destructive decisions will have a devastating impact on the future of our planet. On behalf of our city, thank you to for canceling this event.

Four days.
That’s how long it took the Brooklyn Navy Yard to take an idea to manufacture plastic face shields for medical personnel and turn it into reality. Now they’re being made by the thousands. 50,000 by the end of this week alone.
The Paris accord was the biggest step forward on climate change that we’d taken in years. It’s unconscionable for to abandon it.
We've seen a president try to defy the judiciary before. His name was Richard Nixon. It didn't end well for him.
I will NOT be attending today’s meeting at the White House after ’s Department of Justice decided to renew their racist assault on our immigrant communities. It doesn’t make us safer and it violates America’s core values.
New Yorkers don't care how you love, worship, or identify. If they come after you, they'll need to get through every one of us. #Stonewall
To whoever vandalized our mural on 5th Avenue: nice try. has already fixed it.
The #BlackLivesMatter movement is more than words, and it can’t be undone.
Our prayers tonight are with the people of Quebec City as they deal with a terrible attack on a mosque. We must stand together.

Black people BUILT 5th Ave and so much of this nation.
Your “luxury” came from THEIR labor, for which they have never been justly compensated.
We are honoring them. The fact that you see it as denigrating your street is the definition of racism.
The White House refuses to call the murder of Timothy Caughman a hate crime. Just like when Trump refused to disavow David Duke and the KKK.
A big thank you to the organizers and the men and women of the NYPD for keeping 400,000 New Yorkers safe during today's #WomensMarchNYC.
NO, there is NO TRUTH to rumors about Manhattan being quarantined. Whoever is spreading this misinformation, PLEASE STOP NOW!

New York City will close the Rikers Island jail facility. It will take many years. It will take many tough decisions. But it will happen.
Our country is in a war-time scenario but we're getting a Mar-a-Lago attitude from the federal government. We need testing, ventilators, surgical masks and we needed them WEEKS AGO, when was still calling this pandemic a hoax.
We’ve seen the chaos secret police are creating in Portland. We won’t let it happen here.
I’m declaring a state of emergency in New York City tonight.
We’re enduring an historic weather event tonight with record breaking rain across the city, brutal flooding and dangerous conditions on our roads.

We lost a 20 year old woman on the Upper East Side tonight.
She was pushing a stroller when a gunman took her life.
More guns in our city means more lives lost. It means more babies crying as those who love them lie dead.
We cannot allow this epidemic to keep claiming lives.
I’m Mayor of the number-one terror target on the planet and I’ve spent years working with the NYPD, the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force. The threats to our country aren’t coming from the southern border and a racist wall won’t keep our country safe.
We wish them a speedy recovery. But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested.
Tests should not be for the wealthy, but for the sick.

We have new guidance for New Yorkers:
We're advising New Yorkers to wear a face covering when you go outside and near others. It can be a scarf, a bandana or one you make at home. But PLEASE: save medical masks for our health care workers & first responders who truly need them.
Arrested, attacked and assaulted in the peaceful quest for civil rights, is a man of action and the best of who we are.
