There are so many great people in the movement but I want to give credit due to @bdlimm.bsky.social for being a tireless leader and always looking to the future. Yesterday’s win cannot happen without people like Bright.
We did it. And who are we?

1️⃣ @socialists.nyc, which not only powered Zohran's campaign but made it possible;

2️⃣ @nywfp.bsky.social, which cohered NYC's organized Left;

3️⃣ @bradlander.bsky.social, Adrienne, and Zellnor, who united against Cuomo; and

4️⃣ The 50,000 of us who did the work in the field.
In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Unlike on the Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges, pedestrians on the Queensboro were forced to share the space with the rising number of cyclists and other people on things like stand-up scooters and *shudder* onewheels.

The result? Madness.

Now, finally, SAFETY!

Today, Mayor Adams instructed his top officials not to criticize Donald Trump. And now we know why.

Instead of standing up for New Yorkers, Mayor Adams is standing up for precisely one person—and that’s himself.

New Yorkers deserve better.

The New York City mayor cultivated a close relationship with President Trump, who said they had both been persecuted.

It’s official: Eric Adams’ shameless campaign to avoid legal accountability for corruption has succeeded.

In the midst of a right-wing billionaire assault on the working class of our city, he sold us out for another personal favor.

Election Day can’t come soon enough.

Never been a big wrestling person but I have begun to analyze everything from the WWE point of view when it comes to understanding national politics. Violence, rage, aggression, sex appeal are keys to winning the issue.

Blurring the lines of what is real and entertainment is now the reality.
People who think professional wrestling is real think that the allegations of covering up sexual assault against Linda McMahon and her husband Vince are fake.

Make it make sense.
