@ryangrim There’s been reports of another DSA letter circulating (I wrote it on notebook paper in my apartment) calling on Hochul to resign…why are no New York Post reporters calling me?
@EmmaVigeland@MrsOWalker There also seems to be a guarantee of NYCHA funding with a Jeffries vote, based on comments from AOC and DAC. Still a lot of time between now and January imo
@ryangrim@ruwaromman And across the mid-Atlantic today, hundreds of data centers will be powered by backup diesel generators because they know otherwise the grid will crash.
When I look at the recent progressive victories in Colorado and elsewhere, and the successful organizing campaigns sprouting up across the country, I believe we may be on the brink of the political revolution we have been fighting for.
Scoop: Zohran Mamdani to deliver a "major" speech Friday marking America 250, hours before Trump gives his own commemorative address in S.D.
Mamdani will speak from George Washington's desk at City Hall and be surrounded by recently naturalized citizens

If he’s alluding to the results in NY-13, this is absolutely preposterous.
NY-13 has more renters than ANY Congressional District in America.
It is also in the 98th percentile(!!) with respect to poverty rate. C’mon.
The Democrats co-opt DSA victories when they’re politically convenient (Zohran delivering on childcare, grocery stores, etc), but cry fowl when AWOL centrists like Espaillat are challenged by real trailblazers.
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.
Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
Focus on building the party you actually support.
Political parties aren’t perfect, but they’re built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in. If you don’t believe in the party, then don’t ask its members to carry you across the finish line.
Honored and thrilled to have cast my vote in community this morning!
Today, uptown and the Bronx has a choice: remain stuck in the status quo politics of the past, where our rent keeps rising and corporations keep getting richer, or welcome a new day for us all.
Polls are open until 9pm: make sure your voice is heard! https://t.co/AvJAGGcqYd
