HAPPENING NOW: We’re at 26 Fed Plaza, where ICE has been kidnapping immigrant NYers, to demand access to the 10th fl - where people are being inhumanely detained - and to block ICE vans from leaving.
We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. Neither should our leaders. #ICEoutofNY

I saw so many people talking about how Mamdani and Lander were clearly running because they love their city and want to make life better there, while Cuomo seems to hate and fear it, and that feels like the key piece of this campaign that could be replicable by progressives everywhere
Great point by Courtney Gross on @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social. The portrait of the City painted by Andrew Cuomo (and many of the city's elites) as a crime-ridden, apocalyptic hellhole ... it just doesn't match what most New Yorkers see every day.

It feels damn good to feel damn good. Tonight we pulled off a once in a lifetime movement victory, built on years of organizing and a disciplined left/progressive alliance that was not remotely inevitable. It’s exhilarating & feels fan-freaking-tastic. Hats off, New York. We did it:

If like me you’re in anguish about the unbearable conditions in Gaza, here’s one simple but powerful action Jews can take to send a strong message supporting food aid. It feels hard when no matter what we do, it keeps getting worse. It’s truly unspeakable. But we *must* keep acting & speaking out.
For over 2 months, the Israeli government has been forcibly starving Gaza. In response, a number of progressive Jews & Jewish organizations have come together w/ a simple statement: Jewish people support food aid for people in Gaza and an immediate end to the Israeli government's food aid blockade.
