Mark your calendars, we’re back out next Tuesday on the pedestrian bridge over Grand River near Eastern High. Let’s counter Trump’s propaganda circus with a message of our own; that no one is above the law and the truth will prevail over their lies.

#Detroit won’t roll out the red carpet for authoritarians. As Trump speaks behind closed doors, activists will rally at Trumbull & Temple on 1/13 at 1:30 PM to demand #noICE, #nowar, and his removal. Join us to show Detroit’s #resistance is strong, organized, and unyielding.

NYC's mayoral primary used ranked choice voting: How it works NYC is using ranked choice voting in its Democratic mayoral primary election, a system that takes some explaining. Here’s how it works.

Voters in NYC have spoken clearly: pro-worker policies are winning policies, and they've chosen a card-carrying Democratic Socialist to run against the Republican nominee and incumbent Eric Adams, a Democrat now running as an independent this November. (🧵5/5)

Though they'll continue tabulating those second- and third-choice votes until July 1st, Mamdani has a strong first-round lead with 43.5%; his runner-up, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has already conceded. (🧵4/5)

"Ranked choice voting is based on a simple premise: Democracy works better if people aren’t forced to make an all-or-nothing choice with their vote."

If no candidate has a majority, they'll eliminate the one in last and count their voters' next choices, and so forth until one has over 50%. (🧵3/5)

In NYC's mayoral primary, voters get to pick their FIVE favorite candidates, ranking them from most to least preferred.

This means, rather than having to vote for who they think is most likely to win, they can pick who they ACTUALLY support without having to worry about "splitting the vote." (🧵2/5)

So, Zohran Mamdani just won the Democratic primary for NYC’s next mayor.

In light of this victory for grassroots movements in NYC and around the country, let’s talk about the system that New Yorkers used to elect him: ranked-choice voting! (🧵1/5)
