Building organization entails attending not only to one's own base but to the broader organizational ecosystem as a whole.

• Who else is inhabiting the same ecosystem?
• What is each org's niche (role) within it?
• What essential niches are currently most undervalued (and thus most under-occupied)?

Thinking about this on a left-right axis is not going to be helpful in analysis and understanding. Many forces at play here. I know I am always telling people to look to Chicago, but for god's sake look to Chicago.
The city council under Eric Adams was a progressive counter to the mayor; with Julie Menin locking the race for city council speaker today, it looks like the council will be a centrist counter to him.

🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT🚨

At LaGuardia Airport, there are several rumored and one confirmed ICE arrest of domestic travelers.

If you are at risk of detention or not sure, exercise caution while traveling. Make a safety plan in case of detention and consult an immigration attorney.

Great thread! I'm not a DSA member, so I can't speak to those elements, but I defer to Bright!

Another big thing: in huge parts of the city, if you're a D elected (like Dan Goldman) who's NOT affiliated with the WFP or DSA, you're behind the times & you're gonna lose.

(This is, imo, a good thing.)
Since Z's election, I've been thinking about NYC's political ecosystem and the path of the Left's struggle for governing power over the past two decades.

We're in a moment where the Left's configuration of both protagonists and formations is changing; here are my current thoughts on this change.🧵

For months, farmworker groups have called on the NY Farm Bureau to defend the immigrant workers that make their businesses run. But they continue to stand by while ICE attacks communities across the state. We need your voice in this fight ESPECIALLY if you live in NY: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

oh man i rarely have to call my city council member but just left a message about how Menin should be a no go for them.
Menin says she'll work with Mamdani "on a shared agenda that makes New York more affordable."

GOP members backing Menin, tho, are likely to look to her to be a check on Mamdani. Vickie Paladino said she's with Menin because she "understands all perspectives." www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/26/j...

Asking for money will never come easy to me! But I'm proud of what we're building at @genderlib.com & need the support to help us grow. A thread on first year highlights:
Every day, GLM fights for a world where gender liberation is non-negotiable. Where trans, intersex, nonbinary, and cis people alike can live free from control—over our bodies, genders, choices, and futures.

The "mass politics" orientation SMC speaks of means build bases, winning + wielding governing power to build more of both.

The results are in and they confirm: NYC members are happy with the direction in which SMC + GW have steered the chapter.

Onward to another year of mass politics in NYC ✊
This year, @socialistmajority.com has 58 candidates running for leadership roles in NYC-DSA—the largest slate by any caucus in any year in chapter history.

SMC keeps growing because our approach works. (And personally, I love this growth since I haven't had to run for any of these seats in 4 yrs 😊)
Socialist Majority is proud to announce a slate for @socialists.nyc leadership!

DSA is poised for power, and we have to strike while the iron is hot. We need to build off Zohran's win to fight for his affordability agenda in all corners of NYC.
