this is literally the most socialist congressional district in the country (and it's not close), expect this to completely upend NYC-DSA's electoral calculations and for a cadre member to run. no fewer than seven DSA elected officials represent some part of this district at another level of gov't
Breaking News: Nydia Velázquez, a Democratic trailblazer and 16-term New York congresswoman, announced she will retire next year.

No strong opinion either way on Chi running, (I personally lean against endorsement but it's not my chapter), but what a crazy moment in history to be able to read "NYC mayor elect to attend a DSA forum, as a member, to advocate for one policy over another"

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.
