I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the βuniverseβ of voters to talk to. Here's how we won π§΅
After mismanaging the MTA for 10+ years as Governor, Andrew Cuomo would now like to mismanage it as Mayor.

Hallelujah. 'Exposure' is for suckers and trust funders.
100% had this exact situation arise when getting pull quotes from my book reviews.

@billdeblasionyc.bsky.social on how he challenges people who say Mamdani is antisemitic to provide proof & they never can, it's just what they heard.
My full interview with him: zeteo.com/p/bill-de-bl...
The greatest tool working people have to win dignity, power and respect is organizing.
So proud to stand with labor as your Democratic nominee for Mayor of New York City.
Exactly how Iβve been describing them! My mom and stepdad would drive over an hour each way for commissary shopping trips because it was so worth it!
And itβs just a pilot program in food deserts β1 in each borough. Good grief the misplaced hysteria has me so mad.
You think that vast armed force is going to be used just for immigration?
I doubt it. Watch for ICE duties to expand duties and for ICE to follow the pattern of militarization of police. Also watch it used as secret police against anything anti-ICE.
We warned everyone of this.

If anything, maybe this attention will renew efforts to release them.
Gillibrand apologizes to Mamdani over βjihadβ comments - POLITICO
So I am glad Gillibrand apologized but she should really do so publicly, not privately, given her smear against him was done publicly, on live radio in fact.
Hahah this made me lol β itβs all good! β€οΈ

Since my deaf mom helped with the sign, Iβm a CODA, & know Zohran (heβs my assemblyman), we figured I could do the honors. I wanted one that wasnβt boring like his initials! π
