The first time I was a delegate to NYC-DSA convention was 2022. It's the very heart of DSA's democracy. And this year, I’m voting for the Socialist Majority slate. Vote by Sunday night: vote.socialistmajority.com/nyc

I’m so excited to be running on this slate, with all of these incredible organizers! If you’re in SBK, please rank me #1 followed by other SMC candidates. If you’re in another branch, please reply or DM me to ask for the most helpful ballot order. And when you’ve voted, please reply or DM me!

Voting for NYC-DSA Convention delegates is open! 🗳️ Check your inbox and vote for the SMC slate to grow our movement, defeat fascism, and deliver for the working class. Let's run AOC for president, elect another socialist slate in 2028, build the labor and youth movements, and demystify DSA.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

I watched an SUV blow through a red light with out of state dealer plates on my bike ride into work today

Last week, while walking my daughter home from camp in her stroller, a car with Virginia plates and $8000 in NY traffic fines blew threw a red light and honked at us to get out of the way while we crossed the street. Maybe start there instead of some dramatized Citi Bike nonsense.

I am so confused by this rhetoric. Mamdani endorsed people, a thing politicians often do, and they won, and you don't like that result. In what way is the party blown up. It still seems to exist. Other, different politicians also won last night.

I just got to announce live on MSNow that our grassroots campaign passed 300,000 doors knocked a little earlier this evening.

the reason dsa candidates are winning is because theyre saying theyll do actual things to make peoples lives better and identifying billionaires as an obstacle to those things, its not super complicated or anything

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

Keep it that way.

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

Rep. AOC posts new photo on Instagram celebrating the Knicks alongside Mayor Zohran Mamdani

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao

Ohhh look at me I'm New York City. I have an awesome basketball team with likeable players and a mayor that cares about making life better for every citizen man fuck you

Watching everything be better without you from Albania:

HISTORY.

My wife (behind the camera) and I were so excited to cast our two votes against @repdangoldman.bsky.social!

Knicks really went from "Trump's stench everywhere" to "The aura of Mamdani is unstoppable" lol.

When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you. Thanks to the @nba.com, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of LinkNYC screens across our city. LGK.

a beautiful scene on smith street

Politics can be a team sport on behalf of the city we love. (I’ll leave the no-look passes to the Knicks for the rest of the series).

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Simply too many people to fit in a single photo.

Just your average canvass on a rainy Saturday in Maria Hernandez Park. Thank you Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the hundreds of volunteers knocking on doors in Bushwick and across NY-7 today — this is how we win.

Our first ad of the campaign — "The Good Life" — is live.

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

Wow. Where was the president of Cornell and did he know his car was capable of doing this on its own?

I got on my bike and took a risk to share some big news: @nyc-dot.bsky.social has an updated and expanded proposal to redesign 31st Street!

This is actually quite fucked up but imagine how good it feels as a state assembly campaign volunteer to expose malfeasance on the part of the incumbent through careful forensic analysis of public documents

We've uncovered what might be the biggest case of petition fraud in NYC's history, and now I'm taking my opponent to court.

Please, I am begging people: never again repeat the claim that only two people were killed in the occupation of Minnesota.

I'm always struck by the refusal of otherwise literate adults to distinguish between annoying and dangerous when it comes to bikes. Water is wet and cyclists are less dangerous than cars for pedestrians! Not debatable!

Wild what you can get away with in articles about cycling. This is objectively false! A city with less driving and more biking is far safer for pedestrians. Hate cyclists all you want but that’s an empirical fact

Last month, I was elected by our democratic socialist movement to fight for an affordable NY and oppose Trump’s authoritarianism. And if we want to succeed, we’ll need more working class champions in office. That’s why today, I’m endorsing the full @socialists.nyc @buffalodsa.bsky.social slate!

As ICE apprehends more children every day, it raises a simple question that’s also one of grave moral concern: What does detention do to a child’s health? "I see a regression of developmental milestones. They don’t want to eat. They have problems sleeping. They wake up screaming,” one doctor said.

Vote No War but Class War slate for Anti-War Working Group OC! We are fighting for an anti-war movement led by DSA and the working class. Ending imperialism must be incorporated into every aspect of our work, and it must be @socialists.nyc leading the fight.

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

did you think getting rich was out of reach? not anymore! thanks to online prediction markets, you can now win big betting on questions like “who will be the next president?” and “how many children will die in elementary schools bombed in the war with Iran?” finally, a path to wealth you truly earn

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

Schumer and Jeffries support this war for reasons that are obvious. bsky.app/profile/sara...

i cannot stop thinking about this man, who survived the Rohingya genocide but couldn’t survive border patrol. “He died trying to get home” is a gut punch

Were they looking at poll numbers for a different guy? Because the guy speaking at the SOTU is really unpopular, to the point where clapping politely could lose you votes
