🧵 We were proud to endorse @delgadoforny.bsky.social because he took the time to listen to our members - older and disabled New Yorkers, family caregivers and home care workers, and to fight for a New York that provides health care and home care for all.
I’ve decided to end my campaign for Governor of New York. After much consideration, I’ve concluded that there simply is no viable path forward.

Delgado ran a campaign rooted in progressive values, raised more $$ than any primary Gov challenger, and had deep support from our members.

I am glad @delgadoforny.bsky.social
ran and am so proud of @citizenactionny.org members + staff for all the work they put into this race.

NEW: The NY WFP has endorsed placeholder candidates for both governor and comptroller. That means no to both Hochul and Delgado for guv, and DiNapoli for comptroller.

the world is full of incredible things.
During a dive last year in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, researchers documented a giant phantom jelly, a deep-sea species rarely seen since it was discovered a little over a century ago. “There was a mixture of excitement and disbelief,” said one marine biologist. trib.al/HfkWfp4

I like @jabaribrisport.bsky.social's take very much:

“Even Zohran gets it wrong sometimes. Fortunately we’ve built a mass movement that isn’t controlled by any one individual; Hochul’s still going to have to listen to the people if she wants those votes, and the people are saying ‘ #TaxTheRich.'”

I was in there in 2014 when de Blasio came to WFP's convention to push for us to endorse Cuomo.

BdB had no choice; he was hostage to Cuomo's threat to impose austerity on NYC. But the endorsement of Cuomo by NY's Left party delayed progress for 4 more years.

We must learn from, not repeat, 2014.

NYC-DSA's TTR campaign is needed to get Hochul to raise taxes on the rich. (That's why I'm one of the campaign's field leads.)

But no TTR issue campaign will, by itself, succeed; the other necessary condition is a candidate who can convert popular will into primary votes: @delgadoforny.bsky.social.
Kathy Hochul will not create an affordable New York unless our movement of millions makes her. It's time to tax the rich.

You cannot claim to be on the side of labor if you sabotage a union strike.

The governor has repeatedly extended an executive order letting hospitals bring in visiting nurses, gutting the strike’s leverage.

So how's @delgadoforny.bsky.social's campaign going?

✅ Running mate: socialist mom from Buffalo
✅ Field: 5 regions led by base-building orgs
✅ Political: 5 cross-endorsements (more soon)
✅ $7.7M raised w/ matching (≥3X what Jumaane, Cynthia, and Zephyr spent combined)

This will be a real primary.
Today, I am proud to announce India Walton as my running mate in our campaign to become the next Governor and Lieutenant Governor of New York.

Folks, not only is Hochul refusing to tax the rich, ignoring state climate law, failing to house the homeless in winter, and giving away state Medicaid $ to private equity; she's also helping the hospitals strike-break. Start saying the words "primary" and "Delgado," as in @delgadoforny.bsky.social.
In midtown, striking nurses are marching on Kathy Hochul’s office, calling out an emergency order she signed allowing traveling nurses to work in NY during the strike.

They say that move has prolonged the strike and is a handout to the hospital system.

BREAKING: Upon reviewing the fine print of @governor.ny.gov's proposal, we were stunned to discover that the prohibition on "287g" mass deportation agreements would EXPIRE in three years.

Governor Hochul, this is NOT leadership. 1/
Local cops should be focused on local crime.

Today I'm announcing the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act to stop ICE from deputizing police to do a federal agency’s job.

I unequivocally support striking nurses and @nynurses.bsky.social in their demands for safe staffing, fair pay, and better healthcare. Siding with hospital CEOs makes Gov. Hochul's allegiances clear. Show your support here: act.nysna.org/page/93443/a...

at the Madrid airport, I was bantering with the customs person because I had to do a secondary screening (bc I’m bringing salt to the US) and the customs person was like “are you a good person” and I was like “dude I’m trying to be.”
