#NoKings Vote Early parade in Bay Ridge with @bkindivisible.bsky.social and the @brassqueensnyc.bsky.social ! Vibes: impeccable! Vote early, friends! nokings.org

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Outrageous censorship from Meta.

See ya soon, Bay Ridge! If you're in NYC, come join! This is gonna be a blast! They're gonna have a BRASS BAND!

Hey, friends! Election Day is tomorrow in NYC, and we've got a chance to elect a bunch of real progressives in the Democratic primaries! Here's a thread of the folks I voted for or would recommend voting for! Find your poll site here: findmypollsite.vote.nyc and get out and vote tomorrow!!!

The young voters who elected Mayor Mamdani have lagged way behind in early voting counts this month. If you want to do the mayor a solid and replace the status quo in Congress with new progressive energy, Election Day is tomorrow from 6a-9p. Check your poll site at vote.nyc and remind your friends.

One of my favorite moments of the day. If you missed it, take a moment… 🤎 John Legend and Common performing “Glory.”
