Incredibly proud of the volunteers and organizers from Cornell YDSA, Ithaca DSA and all of our allied organizations on Team Hannah Shvets for Ithaca that made this win happen! We won a mandate for Democratic Socialism in Ithaca’s 5th Ward. Now we get to work delivering on our promises!

I canvassed for Zohran for mayor in Inwood today! Lots of positive responses and great experience overall. Thanks to our campaign leads and Team Zohran for making it so easy to plug in. I highly recommend it!

We pulled off an incredible canvass launch yesterday with team Hannah Shvets for Ithaca! Volunteers from Cornell YDSA, Ithaca DSA, Ithaca Tenants Union, and Ithaca Sunrise came together to talk to our neighbors, eat some pizza 🍕 and start the general election off strong!

Such an important thread for everyone in DSA and particularly those involved with DSA electoral work to read!

We have an unprecedented opportunity to build momentum in local races all across the country and deepen our bench of socialist leaders. We must seize the moment!
In conclusion: Zohran’s landslide victory proves that the possibilities are endless for the Left.

We must run socialists for office across the country, from school boards to Congress. We must fight oligarchy by defeating politicians on its payroll in Dem primaries.

Not involved in DSA caucus politics right now but I will just say Katie Sims has been an incredible comrade in our Ithaca chapter and super influential in the victories of both @jorgedefendini.bsky.social and Hannah Shvets for Common Council. We need her leadership and vision on NPC!
SMC member @jorgedefendini.bsky.social is running for another term on Ithaca Common Council, vote for him in today's primary election! (ft. SMC NPC candidate Katie S)

DSA runs people powered campaigns everywhere taking on special interests and winning! Right now campaigns are going on in Ithaca, Poughkeepsie, Jersey City, and more, low turnout local races that make a huge difference! This is about Zohran but more than just Zohran!

Today’s the day! If you are in Ithaca Ward 1 vote @compajorge.bsky.social if you are in Ward 5 vote Hannah Shvets and if you are in NYC vote @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!
Polls are open till 9pm! VOTE!

TODAY: Anti-ICE protestors mobilized and forced back a van carrying our kidnapped neighbors in NYC! This is what real resistance looks like. They CAN be stopped!

Just did my first canvass with the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for NYC Mayor campaign since coming back from Ithaca! We knocked 54 doors and had some amazing conversations with our own neighbors in Inwood! New Yorkers are ready for change not status quo corruption! #DontRankCuomo

Excited to be supporting a friend and fellow activist Hannah Shvets in her campaign to be the next alderperson for Ward 5 Ithaca Common Council! Join us this Friday to kick off her campaign and send an incredible student organizer to the Common Council to fight for us!

Gen Z: No one is coming to save us. It’s time to unionize.

The ultra-rich are ruining the lives of the next generation. The solution is to organize for power, fight, and win.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember all those murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust: 6 million Jews—2/3 of Europe’s entire Jewish population wiped out—millions of political dissidents and queer & trans people, and 250,000 Roma people.

Never again means never again for anyone.

One of my favorites if not my favorite song EVER!
Solidarity forever! ✊🪧
We want to wish “Solidarity Forever” a happy 110th birthday!

“Solidarity Forever” was originally written in 1915 by Ralph Chaplin, and its many covers have since become an anthem for the labor movement and working people’s fight for their fair share.

Deeply disappointed to see my own Rep Josh Riley on this list! So many activists including pro-immigrant groups worked to get Josh Riley elected so for him to turn around and back mandatory detention at the same time as we’re fighting to affirm sanctuary protections in Ithaca is a slap in the face!
48 House Democrats voted earlier today to help jump-start Trump's mass deportation agenda by expanding mandatory detention.

Shame on them.

Everyone deserves housing.
Everyone deserves food.
Everyone deserves water.
Everyone deserves healthcare.

We have the resources. We just need a system that focuses on caring for people instead of making the rich richer.

As we head into 2025, a few reminders:

Our solidarity is our strength
All labor is skilled and has value
The union makes us strong
Solidarity forever! ✊

policy that helps everyday people instead of just helping the rich get richer is possible and we deserve leaders who will get it done.

Proud to join @sampooleny.bsky.social on this freezing cold morning telling Starbucks customers in Upper Manhattan about the @sbworkersunited.org strike.

Do not buy from Starbucks while workers are on strike!
