So glad @indivisible.org is throwing massive organizing power behind primary candidates who pledge to demand Schumer be stripped of leadership.
"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

It’s going to be freezing AND hellishly hot tonight in NYC according to our ever-sloppy @nycemergencymgt.bsky.social. Attention to detail seems like an essential skill for this department?!

If a Senator folds behind closed doors and lets co-workers take the heat, did they really fall? Yes, yes they did, and we the voters have long memories.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Funny how Bloomberg flushed 13+ million dollars down the toilet to make NYC worse at the same time his Bloomberg Philanthropies and spinoffs like C40 Cities purport to know what’s best for cities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/06/c...
Cuomo Backers Burned $65 Per Vote, Including $13.3 Million From Bloomberg
A blizzard of outside spending on ads, including a spot that linked Zohran Mamdani to 9/11, failed to move voters and may have even backfired.

All Americans should read this thread.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Cuomo says Mamdani can’t fulfill his promises and he’s still fear-mongering about the dangerous road we are heading down. Pretending he didn’t run one of the most racist, divisive campaigns ever. What a sore LOSER.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.
