When you fight for New Yorkers' homes, it turns out they'll open them for your campaign. I spent the month chatting with New Yorkers who are handing over their keys to the Mamdani campaign. https://t.co/oaErTEoB6y
Really grateful for Alexandra Brodsky—for everything, but especially for this commentary on the disappearance of public feminism: https://t.co/C2a10W7p6J

"The fact it seems inevitable that the response to a crisis will be further allocation of resources to and empowerment of police—this is Blue Power in action." @BostonReview interviews @stschrader1 on his new book: https://t.co/drBHGVYZqz
Spoke to @stschrader1 about his new book, BLUE POWER. If you’re looking for a primer of how we ended up being governed by a group of feckless, violent strongmen, this is it.

“If the murder of Alex Pretti…cannot be called murder, an authoritarian regime has passed one of its crucial tests: it can reverse all meanings…making the victim the perpetrator, the perpetrator the victim.” —@fotoole https://t.co/XBWHEqIoLq
New: ProPublica is sharing eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves. https://t.co/hdxtf8SRtE
Newly minted DSA candidate & NY-13 challenger Darializa Chevalier is in Harlem this morning hosting a bilingual campaign event.
“Espaillat is asleep at the wheel…his biggest donors are corporate donors and Columbia, the same forces driving up rents & displacing working people.”
If Trump's deportation machine were an army, it would be the 13th most heavily funded on earth. This puts it above the militaries of Australia and Canada, and just below Israel's. This force is invading US cities, yet depicting itself as the victim. https://t.co/wZF0n6c3Au
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

With Trump’s authoritarianism at our doorstep and billionaire greed in our backyard, we need someone who won't let AIPAC, real estate developers, & corporate PACs dictate how hard we fight back.
Today, I'm launching my campaign for Congress in #NY13 with @justicedems support!
I spent the week visiting food kitchens in Harlem and the Bronx and spoke to women of all ages, from young mothers to seniors citizens, dealing with the ramifications of Trump treating hunger as a bargining chip for @TheCut. https://t.co/Lro87Yuzir
I am thinking especially today about what mira nair, mother of ~newly elected~ NYC mayor zohran mamdani, told me when I interviewed her about MISSISSIPPI MASALA -- about representation and transcendence and how we should treat each other. at @vulture:
