The @nycprogressives.bsky.social's full statement on "Holistic Community Safety" (where the language about reducing the size + scope of the NYPD and Correction comes from), as well as its statement of other principles of unity, can be found here:

nycprogressives.com/about/principles
Excerpt from the NYC Council Progressive Caucus' webpage "Our Progressive Principles." The text (copied below the line) reads as follows: -- Holistic Community Safety A holistic, multi-strategy approach to community safety that ensures true safety and justice. By enacting policies that build a robust public health infrastructure to provide New Yorkers with mental health support, stable housing, violence prevention teams and tools, training and employment, and harm reduction for drug use, we will do everything we can to reduce the size and scope of the NYPD and the Department of Correction, and prioritize and fund alternative safety infrastructure that truly invests in our communities.

NOW UPDATED: @meganpiont.bsky.social's "How to report ICE" zine includes the ✨new ICE hotline number for NYC✨

For those new to this type of guide: "SALUTE" is an acronym to help us remember what steps to take.
S SIZE OF GROUP OF OFFICERS e.g. "6 men" A ACTIONS/ACTIVITY: WHAT ARE THEY DOING? e.g., "At gas station in cars and outside of cars, talking to each other and filling up gas tanks" L LOCATION: ADDRESS OR CROSS STREETS AND BOROUGH (also include direction they are moving if known) e.g., "Speedway Gas Station, 2400 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn" U UNIFORMS/CLOTHES: LOOK FOR IDENTIFYING ABBREVATIONS e.g. "Wearing ballistic vests labeled DHS" T TIME/DATE: e.g. "11:15am, June 23rd" E EQUIPMENT/WEAPONS: e.g., "2 people with zipties on belts, at least 4 are armed, 2 black SUVs, no identifying markings on cars"

The best Veterans Day statement I have read this year, whether by any candidate or any current elected, is this one by @wewill2026.bsky.social.

(Image reposted to include alt text)
WILLIAM LAWRENCE FOR US CONGRESS Reflections on Veterans Day Servicemembers swear an oath to our country, and in return, the country makes a promise to them: That they will be deployed in defense of the Constitution, and that when their service ends, they will be cared for. When Trump deploys the national guard to U.S. cities, he puts the guard members in an impossible position: Will they violate their oath to the Constitution by conducting unconstitutional searches, or will they disobey the president, who they are also sworn to obey? After service ends, our country breaks its promise of care to far too many veterans. DOGE's attempt to fire 80,000 Veterans Administration staffers failed, but the VA remains under political attack. Job security and morale at the VA is at an all-time-low. Veterans seeking services lose out. Regardless of your opinion on this country's many wars - and veterans are among the strongest and most effective critics of war - our promises to veterans must be upheld. Veterans are honoring their end of the bargain. When will the government do the same?

Now that the election is done, I thought it would be nice to share this clip from the field launch back in January. What eventually became a field op with 104,000 people started with about 200. For me, it's a reminder that most great things start small—and that what makes them big is organization.

No campaign is over until we assess its practices + outcomes.

This data map—prepared by @jomoko.bsky.social and the other fine folks at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social—is a great tool to help us study the latter.

(Below is the map filtered for census areas with predominantly Black eligible voters.)
Screenshot of a webpage by the CUNY Mapping Service of the Center for Urban Research at the CUNY Graduate Center. The webpage shows a data map of the unofficial election-night results of the 2025 general election for NYC mayor; election districts won by Zohran Mamdani are shown in a shade of blue, while those won by Andrew Cuomo are shown in a shade of green. One of the data map's filters has been applied: "Census areas with predominantly Black eligible voters." The filtered map shows that a supermajority of these census areas—consisting primarily of most of SE Queens and CE Brooklyn, as well as parts of the North Shore of Staten Island, upper Manhattan and north Bronx—are blue (i.e., are areas that were won predominantly by Mamdani).

3️⃣ New city gov: Encourage ppl to apply to join Z's admin.

Zohran has launched a new site for his transition team (transition2025.com), which will soon accept applications to work in his administration.

Now's a good time to start thinking about whether you or someone you know may be interested.
Screenshot of the bottom section of Zohran Mamdani's newly launched transition-team website, called "A New Era for New York City" (available at transition2025 [dot] com). On the left is a photo of Zohran behind the counter of a retail small business. On the right are the following text: WORK WITH US Shape the Future of Our City Join an administration that's building safer streets, affordable neighborhoods, and a brighter future for every New Yorker. Check back here soon to apply.

I really like this photo in particular.
I'm older woman of Bangladeshi descent is wearing a very beautiful, scarf with blue, red, white, and black colors. With both hands, she holds up a campaign sticker right in the middle her body; her facial expression is that of a subtle smile, evincing a dignified contentment.

Two supporters, three stickers.

The man, on the left, has lowered his mask and is smiling; the woman wears a bright pink hat and a subtler pink shawl around it while holding two campaign stickers (she wanted an extra one to bring to her relative).

Lots of people walking past our field-location camp stopping by to say hello and tell them they are with our guy. The man on the right said he's on his way to work but will try to come by later to do a shift in the afternoon. 👑
Three people—two men of Bangladeshi descent, one of Korean descent—pose for a group selfie. One of the men is wearing a bright orange- yellow jacket that has a Zohran campaign button/pin attached to it. In the background is a large "VOTE FOR ZOHRAN" sign hanging from a canopy just behind the group.

My partner prepared coffee and bagels for the morning-shift volunteers, complete with custom Zohran campaign labels 😊
Photo showing a bagel and cup of coffee on a foldable table, with an open laptop and portable charger in the background. The bagel has a bright, campaign-colors label that reads, "ZOHRAN for vegan cream cheese on EVERYTHING BAGEL"; the cup has a lable that reads, "I VOTED FOR ZOHRAN."
