Fascism seeks to weaponize both Islamophobia and Antisemitism to harm Jews and Muslims and also to divide our beautiful multicultural community. We choose solidarity over division.

The Eastern Queens Democratic Club was founded by a Jewish Man and a Muslim woman. We know that we can all come together and rise above those who seek to divide us.

We need the East Queens Democratic Club because they’re not going to smile for photo ops with fascists. Unlike the wishy washy appeasers current running the show.

There are local Dem Clubs who take pride in posing for photos at every opportunity with bigoted officials who spread fear, hatred and lies. Then there’s us, who choose to fight against their bigotry with the dreams of what can be possible for a brighter NY that works for all.

When you run for office, it's a given that people will spread lies about youΒ β€” but this morning, Politico made a baseless accusation I take very seriously.

So I wanted to address it directly.

Here’s another stark illustration of why the message can’t just be β€œdon’t rank Cuomo,” it has to also convey the necessity of ranking 5 candidates www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hey there NYC voters! Remember all of us progressives warning you NOT to vote for or rank Adams - and you ignored us? Here’s your second chance: don’t vote for or rank Andrew
Cuomo. He’ll f*ck over NYC & run roughshod over staff in & out of his administration. Don’t let him come
back on your back.

Did Cuomo’s β€˜Message for Voters’ Violate Campaign Finance Rules? Andrew M. Cuomo may have violated New York City rules by using his campaign website to instruct a friendly super PAC how to help his mayoral bid.

Andrew Cuomo may have run afoul of New York City rules by using his campaign website to instruct a super PAC how to help his mayoral bid. He denies wrongdoing.

Cuomo is just going to be a stooge of the Trump administration.

Andrew Cuomo is the only one who answered the Trump question here by promising to be an accomodationist to Trump.

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.

Andrew Cuomo literally architected GOP control of the state legislature. He is the definition of a DINO.

Do not rank Andrew Cuomo on your ballot.

Our trans communities are NOT alone! And we will not let them be scapegoated because of political cowardice. Not in NY or anywhere. We demand that as our trans neighbors are under attack we fight back! And we fight back by investing in resources, care, and protections.
