Big-City Mayors

Body blow to our economy.

This victory will be historic not just because of who I am — a Muslim immigrant and a proud democratic socialist — but for what we will do: make this city affordable for everyone.

The President is not a king and is not above the law. We will press forward with our challenge to President Trump’s authoritarian use of U.S. military soldiers against citizens.

The deployment is a chaotic escalation.

Deploying an extra 2,000 personnel would be Reckless. Pointless. And Disrespectful to our troops.

This isn’t a new deployment — it’s the same group of soldiers who have been diverted from critical wildfire work and work at the border, now twiddling their thumbs for Donald Trump’s political theater.

This is clean up from the Pentagon. This isn't a new deployment — it's the same group of soldiers who have been diverted from critical wildfire work and work at the border, now twiddling their thumbs for Donald Trump's political theater.

The curfew played into the hands of federal officials who were attempting to depict Los Angeles as out of control.

New York City will always be a place to peacefully protest, but we will not allow violence and lawlessness.

I’ve said at every opportunity that there is no room for antisemitism in this city, in this country.

Anti-Jewish prejudice was 'a real issue in our city' and one that the next mayor should focus on 'tackling.'

A desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.

This is the necessary step to ensure that we’re not just serving our own campaigns—we’re serving the city at large.

It pains me to be called an antisemite.

Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived.

Donald Trump admits he will arrest a sitting governor simply because he ran for office.

Antisemitism is a real issue in this city. And it has been hard to see it weaponized by candidates who do not seem to have any sincere interest in tackling it but rather using it as a pretext to make political points.

It takes a toll to wake up in the morning and read messages that say things like... I get messages that say, 'The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.'

This is a city that every single person deserves to be in.

To your question of, 'Why not a more visceral reaction,' part of it has been colored by the fact that when I speak, especially when I speak with emotion, I am then characterized by those same rivals as being a monster.

There is no room for antisemitism in this city.

The overwhelming majority of protests are nonviolent

This is fascism, and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully, make Brooklyn’s own proud.
