These raids on buses, in neighborhood are about controlling movement, criminalizing poverty, &deciding who deserves to belong and treated as equal human beings. This is the MAGA regime making white supremacy worse, policing Black, brown, immigrant, & working New Yorkers into fear

Yesterday on the BX41 Select Bus in The Bronx, I witnessed one of the most aggressive fare “checks” I’ve ever seen. Four MTA cops boarded, demanding fares and IDs.

I was inspired by Bernie Sanders. His courage, clarity, commitment to building politics rooted in working-class power. I joined his 2020 campaign as a National Organizer and when the pandemic hit, I ran for City Council here in The Bronx. I saw how hard it is to break through—

NYC’s future mayor: a brown Muslim immigrant democratic socialist.
Oh, how the tides are turning.
In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

We need people who will fight for Black, brown, immigrant, and working-class New Yorkers - because we are the backbone of this city.
Grateful for my immigrant family and our commitment to civic engagement!

My mom was so proud to turn in her #LeaveItBlankNY Ballot to show her support for Palestine and to send a clear message to Pres.Biden. So was I!
Our tax dollars should not be funding Israel's war.
Living in The Bronx, we know how misuse and harmful funding can impact lives.
I was proud to work for @BernieSanders in '20 because of his anti-war convictions and commitment to dignity and justice for all. I believe in him to do what is right and call for a ceasefire in Gaza & an end to the occupation. Proud to sign this letter w/ my colleagues:
