Cuomoโ€™s attack on decriminalizing sex work only further shows he doesnโ€™t understand the intersection of fighting for immigrants, queer + trans folks, women, and NOT harming them.

Criminalization is violent. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social knows that and is focused on community safety for all.

GOP tax bill could hurt the poorest households more than it helps them Cuts to Medicaid and anti-poverty programs wipe out gains low-income households could see from policies like no taxes on tips and overtime, nonpartisan estimates show.

Funding cuts to Medicaid and other programs included in the sweeping tax-and-spending bill would hurt low-income households financially more than the tax cuts would boost their finances, according to nonpartisan analyses of the bill.

Zohran is one of the principled men Iโ€™ve ever met. His leadership makes me reflect on how I organize in politics as a socialist. When he has called, Iโ€™ve answered because I know he fights for all of us.

A better NYC is possible. Starting tomorrow vote @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for Mayor.

Cuomo doesn't like that weโ€™re reminding New Yorkers about his record on housing. Well, facts are a stubborn thing.

Under Cuomo, rents rose 52% and housing prices soared 77%. Itโ€™s time for new leadership.
