The Democratic Primary did not go the way I had hoped either. 🤷🏻♂️
But unlike Andrew Cuomo, I’m capable of listening to New Yorkers. (Also, I like to think I got a little better at making videos as the campaign progressed)
Help @ZohranKMamdani crush Andrew Cuomo a second time:

An organization close to my heart is expanding and going national.
VOCAL is fighting to end systems of harm and replace them with systems of care — like housing & healthcare for all, and community-led safety programs!
Love & power to VOCAL’s members & leaders!
🧵Today marks the launch of VOCAL-US (Voices of Community Activists & Leaders)
To build national power, we need a national voice. VOCAL-US gives our members & leaders an opportunity to speak on the most pressing issues - homelessness, the War on Drugs, mass incarceration, & HIV.
Can’t say I’ve seen this before: The Working Families Party sent a crossword puzzle on a mailer in support of Gabriella Romero, the candidate it’s backing in an Albany-area Democratic Assembly primary.
America built some of the world's greatest architecture... and then demolished it.
A thread of wonders that were lost (and why)... 🧵
1. Cincinnati Library: replaced by a parking garage
Both directions of the Golden Gate Bridge have been shut down due to a Pro-Palestinian protest. Demonstrators have blocked the southbound direction of Highway 101. This is the second protest causing major back-ups on Bay Area roadways, the demonstration has blocked northbound I-880 in Oakland. https://t.co/9Dcotu6gFe
“'Parents can't afford the market rate and providers can't afford to work at market rate. There's this gap that really needs to be filled by public investment.' [...] the long-term fix is to move toward universal child care, which is why fighting to keep 3K expansion is crucial."
UAW president Shawn Fain says this is "a turning point in the class war that's been raging in this country for the past 40 years."
He labeled the union's tentative deal with Ford "a call to action to workers everywhere to organize and fight for a better life."
Our community is suffering immense trauma. Every synagogue in NYC is overwhelmed with grief & pain. And now we have to contend with cynical politicians like Eric Adams trying to weaponize our pain to make headlines, enabling hate-based violence from Bay Ridge to Israel/Palestine.
I have a deep amount of respect and love for @Jasgripper and @AnaMariaforNY. I know their leadership will be principed and focused on unapologetically building power for working people. Excited for what’s next in NY.
We’re thrilled to announce Ana María Archila & Jasmine Gripper as the new Co-Directors of the NYWFP. Ana María and Jasmine have won again & again for working NYers & will bring their years of leadership experience to the party.
Welcome our new directors: https://t.co/fGtNl5xa24
We are heartbroken to share that our beloved Carl Stubbs passed away this morning peacefully in his home, with his family by his side. Carl is a VOCAL-NY icon, our most active member of all time, and a fixture in the New York social justice movement.
“In refusing to condemn this killing, the Mayor and Governor are fueling the dehumanization of Black life, the dehumanization of unhoused New Yorkers, and the dehumanization of those with mental health needs.” - @MauriceWFP
