Over just the first weekend of petitioning, we collected enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
But we can't stop now. New Yorkers don't accept the bare minimum and neither will this campaign!
Lots more coming up this week: clairevaldezforcongress.com/events

It is clear now that the Omani foreign minister's sudden media blitz last night was an attempt to shame the United States by putting into the public record how readily Iran was prepared to reach a deal.

There's no one more Greenpoint than
@emilyassembly.bsky.social — or someone who's fought harder in Albany for housing, transit and environmental justice.
I couldn't be more excited to have her endorsement in our run for Congress.
We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.
They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.
My day in Minneapolis learning in realtime with state legislators from around the country what it is like to actively not just practice but *live* in resistance here was the single best antidote to doomerism I have found in the past twelve months

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.
Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
That’s what we have to change.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me

It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

If you want to bring an unabashedly Pro-Palestine, anti-ICE socialist woman to Congress in Harlem, you can donate to her DSA-endorsed campaign here: secure.actblue.com/donate/cheva...

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Friends, I’m once again asking you to donate. But not to me!
@claireforny.bsky.social is a union organizer, democratic socialist and my former Assembly colleague running for Congress in NY-7.

The G train has 50,000 more daily riders than it did in 2010—when the MTA cut service between Long Island City and Forest Hills.
@emilyassembly.bsky.social has led on this for years. I’m with her: bring it back. Read @johnsurico.bsky.social's s op-ed at @nyc.streetsblog.org.
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

If you feel distraught by ICE’s tyrannical violence, remember we outnumber these cowards.
Our collective rage is rooted in our shared humanity. The only way through this is unwavering solidarity with one other.
Join an organization, for me it’s @socialists.nyc, and fight. Abolish ICE.
Noem:
"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."
Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.
Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.
Abolish ICE.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):
-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
Do not watch if you are sensitive to violence.
