- Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.
- The Democratic Primary did not go the way I had hoped either. 🤷🏻♂️ But unlike Andrew Cuomo, I’m capable of listening to New Yorkers. (Also, I like to think I got a little better at making videos as the campaign progressed) Help @ZohranKMamdani crush Andrew Cuomo a second time:In it to win it.
00:00 - True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: @andrewcuomo presided over the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stab housing. And killed NY’s program helping people move out of shelter. Moral clarity: Andrew, time to move out. 🧵Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment. You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents.
00:00 - OK, lemme get this straight. If @ewarren's wealth tax had been in place from 1982, Bezos would still have $49B, Gates $14B, Bloomberg $12B And we'd ALL have child care & health care. Student debt relief. 4X more Fed $ for public schools Can we vote now?
- Yesterday I was so PROUD to stand with LGBTQ+ New Yorkers alongside my friend and our Democratic nominee for Mayor, @ZohranKMamdani!
- Stealing my Cyclone campaign ad? A little pathetic. Doing it without the Nathan’s hotdog? Go back to Westchester.
00:17Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. It’s been a wild ride—but nothing compared to what’s ahead. Buckle up: it’s time to build a new New York, together. - Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents arrested me. Now, he’s threatening to put @ZohranKMamdani in a prison camp that he’s building in a Florida swamp – for thousands of our immigrant neighbors being disappeared from our courts & communities w/o due process. It’sMy statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.
- Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
00:00 - Heard you can just post a selfie with @ZohranKMamdani & @bradlander and get a thousand likes. Watch us on Stephen Colbert tonight at 11:35PM!
- Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
00:00 - Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.
- Brad Lander IS having a great day (Also: don’t I always look like an off-duty rock star? ;-)
