Looks like an interesting strategy for putting pressure on Senators Murkowski, Collins and Johnson to vote NO on the Budget Bill is to contact their donors.

This post is for New Yorkers who haven't yet voted in the NYC primary and who are suspicious of Zohran Mamdani or outright dislike him but think Andrew Cuomo would be worse:
This is between the 2 of them now! To have a chance of blocking Cuomo, you have to vote for Mamdani. Anywhere on the ballot.

Brad Lander, shortly after being released from detention yesterday, giving a speech to the crowd outside the detention center.
Here he talks about how Andrew Cuomo was able to stiff immigrants he'd relied on to clean the subways during the pandemic, calling them "illegal."
Don't rank Andrew Cuomo!

If anyone in NYC is able to take the afternoon off, there is an impromptu event happening in Foley Square, right now, to protest mayoral candidate Brad Lander's arrest for asking ICE if they had a warrant.

Proud to have put Lander and Mamdani first and second on my ballot in early voting yesterday.
Fascism will not prevail. One day everyone who supports ICE now will pretend they always opposed it, and saw it for the Gestapo it has become.

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

Some #NoKings shots from the march down 5th Ave yesterday.
My personal favorite is the one of Stephen Miller as a demon that says, "LOSER," and "THIS GUY SUCKS."
Come to think of it, I didn't actually see any signs with him on it that DIDN'T portray him as a demon.

A conventional wisdom took hold after the shock of the election and the inauguration, that protests this year were muted compared to 2017.
That was never true, and it's DEFINITELY not true now.

NYC Dem primary voters: Don't rank Cuomo!
Sexual harasser, lied about nursing home deaths during Covid, decimated NYC schools.
All scenarios where he wins have him winning in like the 10th round, so putting him 4th or 5th on your ballots is exactly what would put him over the top.
Don't do it!

#AndrewCuomo won’t stand up to Trump; he’s under federal investigation for covering up nursing home deaths. Just like #EricAdams, Cuomo is compromised & will succumb to Trump to avoid jail time. NYC needs a mayor who will fight for us — not Trump. Watch 📽️ Jane break it down ⬇️. @dreamnyc.bsky.social
