There are many lessons to draw from Zohran's campaign and this primary, but by far the most important one is that robust organization is what makes the impossible possible.

If you don't already have an organizational home, then may Z's win make the difference in finally motivating you to find one.

What Zohran Mamdani’s win in NYC means for us in Philly | Opinion Mamdani’s stunning mayoral primary win points to the future of left-wing politics β€” which is starting to take hold here in Philadelphia too, write Philly Democratic Socialists of America cochairs.

β€œThere’s a new type of politics emerging in this country and it doesn’t involve sucking up to billionaires or emulating the politics of the right.”

β€œWhy do you care about the NYC mayoral race we have our own stuff to worry aboutβ€”β€œ THINK! THINK WITH YOUR BRAIN FOR FIVE SECONDS! CAMPAIGNS ARE CASE STUDIES! THEY ARE LESSONS! THEY ARE WARNINGS!

Surprisingly effective things Zohran Mamdani ran on:
-free buses
-rent freeze
-halal cart for $8 instead of $10
-taxing the 1%
-no cost childcare
-city-owned grocery stores
-a Department Of Community Safety for mental health programs and crisis response
-building affordable housing
-why Cuomo sucks

Maybe all of the oxytocin from Zohran winning is what finally sends me into labor

Look, just because we beat Cuomo tonight doesn't mean this is time to stop punching him in the junk.

If Zohran becomes mayor and stabilizes the rent, y’all can stop moving to Philly πŸŽ‰

Philly snark aside, this is amazing and @socialists.nyc deserve a fucking victory lap

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand β€” accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on β€œkitchen table” issues.

Today, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth in Skrmetti v. United States.

This is a direct attack on our trans siblings and sets a chilling precedent for future assaults on LGBTQ+ rights.

ICE wants to come to Philly. They’ll be met with the brotherly shove.

Very grateful I am pregnant after such a long battle with infertility, however if I have to be pregnant for much longer I will go insane.

The third trimester got hands.

Working people can beat back the authoritarians and oligarchsβ€”but only with mass action.

This May Day, DSA is proud to join a broad, labor-led coalition fighting for workers everywhere.

Surrounded by sheriffs & local cops, President Trump signed an Executive Order Monday asking Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to determine how the military can be best used in local law enforcement operations to fight crime. Martial law?

Very proud to announce that Philly DSA now has a parental leave policy for chapter leadership! This was a labor of love for me, and I’m so happy that we’re one step closer to parenthood not being a barrier to organizing within our movement.

This Saturday, Pennsylvanians are coming together to tell Trump, Musk and congressional Republicans:

Our care, our rights, our jobs… they belong to Pennsylvanians, not billionaires.

Show up big, PA! Find an event near you: mobilize.us/?q=hands%20off.

Hmm I wonder what the long term strategy is behind replacing birth certificates, over which the federal government has no control at all, with passports, over which the Executive Branch has nearly exclusive control, as a foundational document for citizenship and voting.

This week, Congressman Scott Perry's constituents in PA-10 organized a town hall to convey their concerns... but Rep. Perry was nowhere to be found.
After her son, a federal worker, lost his job, this mom wants to know: Where is Rep. Scott Perry ?

these are oligarchs so detached from the experiences of regular people that when they workshop lines like this, they think they've really nailed it

Zionist attacks on higher ed embolden the Right and go hand-in-hand with Trump/Musk's plans to dismantle the education system. Students like Mahmoud Khalil calling for justice in Palestine are the frontline of rights to speech and protest.

The trouble with "roll over, play dead and let Republicans hang themselves" is that they're fashioning a noose that chokes our freedoms, our families and our futures.

Yearning for Reagan is a special kind of fuck you because not only was Reagan extremely bad for the country but he killed an entire generation of queer people and given how this country is trying to legislate trans people out of existence, if you believe Reagan is good kindly eat my shit and hair
