Here's the kicker!

Now we know this approach, adopted by a broad coalition, can win a citywide race.

This coalition can become the new Democratic Party that Brooklyn has needed for so long—one that builds grassroots support, one that wins elections, and one that delivers for every community!

About last night! 🧵

Back in January, NKD landed on a coalition strategy as the best chance to win this mayoral race. Inspired by a @nywfp.bsky.social proposal, we planned our first multi-candidate endorsement. In February we endorsed four candidates for mayor and urged our allies to do the same.

Custody is excellent and underrated

More than 40 years before “RuPaul's Drag Race", this ground-breaking documentary about the 1967 Miss All-American Camp Beauty Pageant introduced audiences to the world of competitive drag.

An indispensable resource for Brooklyn Democrats. I'm in awe of all the work that went into this.

Milestone Films Will Be Given Away to Maya Cade of the Black Film Archive The distributor’s owners, Amy Heller and Dennis Doros, made the unusual choice to give it away. Their successor is Maya Cade of the Black Film Archive.

Big news from our friends at Milestone Films! We have loved working with @mayascade.bsky.social on the releases of Bridgett M. Davis's NAKED ACTS and Charles Burnett's THE ANNIHILATION OF FISH and KILLER OF SHEEP and can't wait for this new chapter together. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/m...

🏫The NYC public school system is a marvel, serving nearly a million students and employing 130,000 teachers and staff. 🏫

But the fact is, Andrew Cuomo fought time and again as governor to lower funding to NYC public schools.

As mayor, he can’t be trusted to put students first.

State aid for NYC’s public health services was cut in 2019. Advocates want it back. In 2019, Gov. Cuomo cut the state reimbursement rate for NYC’s public health services. Each year, the city loses up to $90 million for TB control and other core programs. This budget season, city lead...

House Republicans aren't the only ones cutting health care funding...

Andrew Cuomo already cut public health payments to NYC by $90 million per year!

"This was specifically a hit at New York City, deliberately done by then-Governor Cuomo"

Here are all the years Andrew Cuomo as governor raided MTA coffers or cut MTA revenue for things like bailing out upstate ski resorts:

💰2011
💰2013
💰2014
💰2015
💰2016
💰2020
(He tried again in 2021 before he had to resign!)

He's promising to "fix" the systems that were broken by his own mismanagement

Q: What do Bill Ackman, Anthony Scaramucci, Tanya Zuckerbrot, Randy Levine, Jonathan Kushner, and Geoffrey Berman have in common?

A: They're prominent Trump supporters who are funding Andrew Cuomo's campaign for mayor.

Yikes!

Andrew Cuomo's reputation for COVID leadership was built on a series of lies.

New Yorkers should remember the truth when they head to the polls 👇

Urška Djukić's LITTLE TROUBLE GIRLS is now an official Tribeca selection!

We'll be releasing this ravishing coming-of-age story about a young woman's sexual awakening during a Catholic school choir trip in theaters this fall.

"This is a worshipful film, adoring of guns, of gold, of the human body, and of cinema itself. Supplicate yourself before it." – Katie Rife, The A.V. Club

If I’ve already let them scan my face a few times is it recommended to opt out in future or is it too late to matter?

Berlinale Award Winner ‘Little Trouble Girls’ Sells in North America, U.K. and Ireland and More (EXCLUSIVE) Urska Djukic’s “Little Trouble Girls,” which opened Berlinale’s Perspectives section, has sold to multiple territories.

We've picked up Berlinale award winner LITTLE TROUBLE GIRLS, a sun-drenched stunner about a young woman's sexual awakening during a school choir trip that introduces Slovenian director Urška Djukić’s as an exciting new talent with a fierce perspective.

New Yorkers: PLEASE do this. If you're in NYC, reach out to Rep Your Block. I will help you do this!.

We really can take back the Party apparatus which is the first step here. But we need people like you.

And if you aren't in NY but know someone who is, please ask them to step up!

I signed onto this letter as a County Committee member representing my neighborhood in the Brooklyn Democratic Party because we MUST move on from having abusive and unethical politicians leading New York.

Democrats say no to Cuomo!

We are proud to join a coalition of nearly 200 Democratic leaders—state and city legislators, District Leaders, County Committee members, and Democratic clubs—in urging our party leaders to oppose Cuomo’s self-centered bid for rehabilitation.
