This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

After tonight, I've seen enough; he won't change. @justicedemocrats.com is right: it's time to primary Chuck.

The right and obvious choice is AOC.

@aoc.bsky.social, the people are ready to rally around you. The time to run for US Senate has now arrived.

Being brown in the US, I'm just grateful I got to be a part of, and witness Zohran peaking at such an important point on the NYC,US & global scale. I was so close to being so disillusioned about politics and our power in it, now I understand what community-building can actually look like. #mamdani

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

Nothing energized me more than the meaningful conversations (& civil debates) I have had with my community in East Harlem #nyc while canvassing. I’ll remember each of these people I met, the struggles or doubts they shared. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social campaign has truly brought us together on hope..
A story! Most of the 7 hours of canvassing I did today was educating people about when they could vote and celebrating the people voting for Zohran (yay to our amazing pep squad! we had a cow bell! we got cars honking for voters! so much fun!). But most meaningful was...

While I was energized by the likely-voters today at Harlem early pollsite (3-to-1 enthused about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social vision), it was also such a sad juxtaposition to see long lines for food assistance (SNAP benefits expire today). We need a city that’s affordable for all. #nyc #election2025

Thanks to everyone who came to our office to donate blood and join the bone marrow registry this Halloween!

We gave away over 100 hot dogs, 15 pounds of candy, signed up 50 people for the bone marrow registry, and collected 28 units of blood —which is more blood than in three people’s bodies!

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.
