ICE's cruelty has reached our district. Yuanxin, a precious 6-year-old who attends P.S. 166 in Astoria, was DETAINED and SEPARATED from his dad last week.

His dad, Fei, is in upstate ICE detention. Nobody knows where Yuanxin is.

We must end this inhumanity. ICE out of New York!

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Canvassing is BACK! 💪🏽

Join us this Saturday to talk to our neighbors about universal childcare, affordable housing, and protecting our immigrant neighbors!

Together, we will deliver an affordable and dignified future for Astoria and LIC working families.

ILL BE THERE

Join us on Saturday in Astoria to knock the first doors of the 2026 cycle! 🚪🚪🚪

RSVP: diana-for-queens.solidarity.tech/diana-for-qu...

Do you miss knocking doors? Well, we have some good news—we’re *SO* back THIS SATURDAY, December 6th! 💥

Join us in Astoria for our big canvassing launch and help build this movement. 💪🚪

No Contract, No Coffee! 🚫☕️

Honored to stand with @sbworkersunited.org baristas in their fight for a fair contract with living wages and safe staffing. It’s unconscionable that Starbucks continues to stall negotiations.

Support workers, no Starbucks until contract! ✊🏽

Thanks to your overwhelming support, we unlocked $72,000 of public matching funds in less than a week! 🔥

Now the real sprint through this special election begins. 🏃🏽

I’m extremely proud to announce that eight @socialists.nyc Socialists in Office have endorsed our campaign!

I’ll be ready on Day One to work alongside these working-class champions to deliver an affordable New York and protect our neighborhoods from the rising tide of fascism.

Our donors aren't big corporations or real estate. They’re teachers, baristas, nurses & working parents, the very people who make Queens run. THANK YOU.

I think the numbers were pretty objective! Even in the absolute most unlikely best case scenario Chi would only have barely scraped by, which three separate GW articles agreed on. Zohran always had a far clearer path and coherent field plan

Hakeem is first Chi Second

Can Chi Ossé beat Hakeem Jeffries? Will lightning strike twice?

Zohran always had a realistic, if improbable, path to victory. Chi's stated path was near-impossible. Michael Lange summarized it well here: www.michaellange.nyc/p/can-chi-os...

I’m thinking back to when I first joined @socialists.nyc in 2018 & felt like my life was in a pretty different place than lots of the younger folks I was organizing with.

We’ve matured in the most wonderful way. This is a movement that will last for generations. Join us! @comradeswkids.bsky.social

At least in NYC, GW has not supported running as many races as possible. Just to name one example, they opposed an Assembly race in part because they didn't think the candidate had been in DSA long enough, despite them being in DSA like 3-4x longer than Chi

Totally agree! I want as many races as possible, even long shots, in 2026.

My main point is that the focus and arguments NYC GW made for NY-08 *specifically* were almost entirely about agitation, with winnability as an afterthought, which imo runs counter to the sentence I highlighted

“This is the most kid-friendly political event I’ve ever been to!” 🥹

This is what our campaign is about: centering working families and our babies' future. Thank you to the 100+ neighbors who joined us yesterday in Astoria for our first event & helped us raise over $7.4k! ✊🏽❤️

See you all today at the first event of our campaign in Astoria!

going all-in on chi specifically for agitational reasons, not to win

on the other hand, it seems like groundwork has thrown this out the window

it's pretty cool that these days SMC's position is treated as common sense by almost all of DSA and the left

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.

This is who it was:

TOMORROW: Join us from 1-4pm in Astoria for the first event of our campaign! Light appetizers will be served, and kids and families are welcome.
