🚨 This Is Not A Normal Campaign Ad.

Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and other progressive candidates are running as a team and asking New Yorkers to vote for the entire slate.

Their message is simple:

Elect all of us, and we’ll take on billionaires, landlords, and corporate power together.

🔥 That’s what makes this ad interesting.

They’re not selling individual candidates.

They’re selling a governing coalition.

Now New York voters get to decide whether they want a team…

or a check on one.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.

To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

Happy Pride, New York City.

Zohran is proving why Abundance alone never works. You build more AND protect tenants from displacement. You remove legitimately onerous regulations on zoning and add new regulations to protect workers. The messaging is about affordability, not unleashing the private sector.

Black American should not be given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. Here’s why the January 6 rioters should be given reparations for a couple months in jail for committing treason

If one of the scariest things you’ve ever seen is a tax on a second home that you don’t live in that’s worth over $5 million, then you’ve lived a very privileged life.

The Trump budget is historic.

For the first time in recent history, the government would spend a larger share of its annual budget on defense than on domestic programs.

News: @AOC raised over $4m in Q1 of 2026, so far leading all House members including Speaker Johnson.

Over 114,550 individual donors in the past three months alone with an average donation of just $16.

We are a people-powered campaign. $0 from corporate PAC or lobbyist money.

Today, JD Vance said Pope Leo has bad theology. It brought to mind something David Bentley Hart said years ago 👇

"Most Americans think of themselves as Christians, but the only religion in America that ever flourished was America. And it twists everything into its own image ... the American religion, which is about civil order, prosperity, capitalism, a moral code that is not premised on forgiveness so much as upon judgement."

And in the same paragraph, on converts 👇

"[L]ike converts everywhere, to everything, the version of the religion to which they converted they cling to more fiercely than people who were born Orthodox. For them it's an ideology they've adopted, so it must be pure. And because they're evangelicals, that also means simplified, inflexible and cruel."

The American people would be better off if we randomly picked 535 random American citizens to run Congress each year.

That’s how corrupt, owned, perverted and worthless Congress is.

Facts.

It’s outrageous that a tiny number of absolutely revolting trash human beings can impose this upon tens of millions of people.

Trump's budget manages to be $361 billion larger than last year's despite cutting $300 billion in social programs and other public investments.

Reason: Trump wants record funding for war and policing.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson didn't invoke Weimar Germany as a rhetorical flourish. She cited a specific scholar by name in a footnote: Ernst Fraenkel, a Jewish labor lawyer who observed the Nazi legal system from the inside, smuggled his manuscript out of Berlin in 1938, and published "The Dual State" at the University of Chicago in 1941.

Fraenkel's framework is precise. The Nazis didn't immediately collapse Germany's legal system. They left courts functioning - particularly in contracts and economic matters - while placing Jews and political enemies in a separate lawless zone where no legal protection applied. Most Germans lived in the law-bound "normative state." The targeted lived in the "prerogative state." The facade of normalcy was the mechanism of control.

Jackson invoked Fraenkel to name what the court's Republican majority is doing in real time. In 21 consecutive shadow docket cases, the six conservative justices have let Trump opt out of the law - often with no explanation given at all. They blessed ICE racial profiling without citing a single legal justification. They allowed Trump to ignore $4 billion in congressionally appropriated foreign aid. They stripped lower courts of the ability to issue universal relief, meaning only those with resources to file individual lawsuits get protection from illegal presidential action.

Constitutional law professor Evan Bernick put it plainly: "The court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power."

Jackson's dissent is not hyperbole. A footnote citing a 1941 manuscript about Nazi legal architecture is a Supreme Court justice blowing the cover on what her colleagues are building.
