Former mayors
What I have always told them is that they have the right to do so in the city.
To New Yorkers, I have never encouraged them to protest.
I want to be equally clear: Benjamin Netanyahu is not welcome in New York City, nor is any other war criminal at large.

The rule of law continues to slap down Donald Trump's dangerous and un-American attacks on our free and fair elections.
If you are a young trans person and you are in need of healthcare, please reach out to me. You will not go without healthcare, I can assure you of that. We are here for you, we love you.
I'm proud to be the mayor of this city. I love this city. I love this country. And what I want this week to be a focus on is on the families whose loved ones were stolen from them 25 years ago in the horrific act of terror of September 11…
