@indivisible.org and other groups are helping to organize a targeted boycott of Amazon, Home Depot, and Target from November 27 through December 1 under the name "We Ain't Buying It." One of these will be more challenging for me than the others! weaintbuyingit.com

I got into a cab and asked the driver if he lived in NYC, and if he had voted already. He said that he had not voted and he was still undecided. I whipped out a palm card and gave it to him. He said that he would look at it. By the end of the ride he was leaning toward Mamdani.

This is what a friend wrote on Twitter/X. I have heard others say that if you have favorite candidates who are not polling well, put them in the 1, 2 and 3 slots and make sure that you have Mamdani and another candidate you think would be strong against Cuomo in the 4 and 5 slots.

You shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the feelings of the stranger, having yourselves been strangers in the land of Egypt.
