Zohran Mamdani received more first-round votes (432,305) than Andrew Cuomo received total votes after ranked choice voting (428,530).

That means more people ranked Zohran first than ranked Cuomo anywhere on their ballot (without ranking Zohran above him).

A better world is possible! Join DSA to create the future we deserve. Savannah DSA members at Hands Off protests, with hand-written signs in the background.

Inspired by the Zohran campaign? Join DSA and get involved with your local chapter to organize for the better world we know is possible! 🧵dsausa.us/join-zohran

All across LA county could absolutely have Zohrans, we know this and agree!

This is part of why we're in the coalition to bring RCV to the LBC, because it's a system that allows us to knock out people coasting on names and let ideas win!

By coming together, we can use our collective power to create a world where desire is liberated, with no exclusions or exceptions. We stand for queer liberation not just in June, but every damn day of the year. 🌹

Stone wall was a riot. The concept of Pride Month began with the Stonewall riots, a series of riots for gay liberation that took place over several days beginning on June 28, 1969. The riots began after a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located within Lower Manhattan in New York City. On June 28,1970, on the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, the first pride marches were held in New York, LA, and Chicago. Happy Pride Month!

Every year, DSA-LB continues in the tradition of Stonewall: Freedom from repression. Self-determination for all people. And an end to capitalists trying to control every detail of our lives and sense of identity.

We will also be discussing the local implications of Zohran’s victory in New York, our Ranked Choice Voting campaign, our other ongoing campaigns, and Resolutions for the DSA National Convention in August.

Congrats Zohran Mamdani, from the LBC to NYC!

Zohran's victory in the NYC primary tonight shows us one thing: When the people get together WE can accomplish our goals.

We've been conditioned to think that only the "guy" with the big donors, PACs, and moderate Democrat appeal can win.

If I were a corrupt insider Democrat mayoral candidate with a record abusing women, I’d be getting worried about the kinds of campaigns these Democratic Socialists of America are putting on…

One thing is clear: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @socialists.nyc have made history! Thousands of working-class people have stood up to the capitalist class to demand a more affordable and livable New York City. Win or lose, the fight is just beginning! Join DSA today: dsausa.org/join

Less than 4 hours to go! Then one must hope to get lucky.

Also apologies for not posting here recently, we're trying to be better about that! 🌹

Also we'll be dropping off a few of these at national convention so even our far away comrades can get a sweet drop off by one of our comrades!

Our bad! We forgot to remind everyone yesterday was the last day for pre-orders so we are extending to today at midnight. We are less than 10 away available spots for pre-ordering these shirts. It's the only way to garuntee you get one in your size!

We want to highlight these and also note that in Long Beach you should call @oralelb.bsky.social if you see ICE activity at (562) 245-9575.
