On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace.

And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

Statement, DSA National Political Committee. End the Raids, Lift the Ban, Drop the Charges! DSA Stands with Immigrants. On 6/4/25, the Trump administration re-enacted a travel ban preventing nationals from 12 countries from entering the United States. Two days later, ICE began violent, military-style raids in Los Angeles, detaining over 100 Angelenos, including labor leader David Huerta, president of the SEIU California State Council. The fight for immigrant justice is a fight for the very survival of the working classβ€”for our families, our communities, our neighbors, our union siblings, & for those people who haven’t yet won the protection of a union. The ICE raids in Los Angeles are meant as a show of brute fascist strengthβ€”but solidarity is a force more powerful than gravity. We call on DSA members to pour into the streets, organize & fight to defend our immigrant communities. We welcome you to join us, as the largest socialist organization in the US, in our struggle for a more dignified & just world for all.

This convention, we can start changing Democratic Socialists of America from a patchwork to a true mass party β€” the kind anyone who wants to build working class power can easily understand, join, & learn to organize in.

Please join me in supporting these resolutions to build a DSA For All!

Last week on instagram, I asked why New Yorkers should NOT vote for Andrew Cuomo in the June Democratic Primary. More than 500 people replied.

What it really comes down to? New York City deserves better.

The message from Minneapolis is clear: residents want a new Mayor. Our city is ready for a leader who works as hard as we do, and a city that works for everyone. Thank you for an amazing caucus night, Minneapolis! See you at the city convention!

The US sent $18 billion on military aid to Israel to wage genocide on Palestinians.

For ICE, Immigration & Border Enforcement, our government pays $26 billion.

That’s more than enough money to end homelessness in this country & house everyone.

That’s the world we fight for.

Proud to join so many powerful speakers at the March for Palestine, & thousands who turned up in the streets of DC to show we won’t back down.

We all have basic rightsβ€”but our rights become a meaningless legality unless we fight for them. Our power comes from standing together.

The biggest threat to NYC is now officially Andrew Cuomo: a rich, out of touch, out-of-towner who spent 7 years teaming up with Republicans to defund our subways, hospitals, and schools.

 A large crowd of protesters marches down a city street lined with tall buildings. At the front, people hold four bright red banners that read "New York City Democratic Socialists of America" with a white torch logo. Many participants wear red ponchos or winter clothing. Behind them, others hold signs including one that says β€œStop the Genocide,” another with a face illustration, and others expressing political messages. The protest takes place in Midtown Manhattan, with recognizable buildings and a Starbucks storefront visible.
