🧵1/4: We were founded in 2015 from a coalition of socialists, labor advocates, progressives, and independent voters. Our campaigns included referendums on rent control and community safety, support for undocumented residents, and fighting to make ward services more inclusive and democratic.

There's no question that the @nytimes.com has ACTUALLY openly campaigned against Mamdani. Everyone in the city saw it. Why would they be trusted to report honestly on anything if he wins? The answer is they would not.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Fair warning, friends: From now through November 04, my posting will be focused on getting out the vote for Zohran. (If you need to mute or unfollow me, I understand completely 🤣)

We have 90k volunteers, but we need ~10k more to guarantee a majority of votes cast for Z. Hence: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

It is interesting how this moment in city politics is clearly differentiating the elected officials out on the streets fighting for their constituents and those that are completely absent online and in person.

I was so grateful to talk with my friend @deanspade.bsky.social for this episode of the Love in a F*cked Up World podcast ❤️
Episode 10 is out! In this episode, I talk to Kelly Hayes, the brilliant journalist and organizer whose writing and podcast so many of us rely on to make sense of the world.

Watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

“Once my colleague pulled out his camera, the agent put away the gun," Huynh told the Sun-Times Tuesday night. "[But] if they can do this in broad daylight to an elected official, and point a gun at someone, imagine what’s happening behind closed doors.”

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

Join us Thursdays at 5:30pm or Saturdays at 11am to hit doors for our #ProvenProgressive candidates.
