If you're a NYC-DSA member eligible to vote after Wednesday's forum, I strongly encourage you to vote YES on BOTH primarying Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) AND on having Chi Ossé be the challenger.

At our volunteer appreciation party, I saw the faces of a movement that changed the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who knocked on a door, called a friend, put up a sign, or convinced their family this election was worth their time.

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

Enough with the backroom scheming.

If Trump is serious about intervening in the mayoral race, he should come to New York City and debate me directly.

It's fine for us to tolerate this bc we don't want Obama to become involved and screw us over, but let's also be careful and realize that ppl in Obama's orbit taking a "a keen interest in Mamdani" is a warning sign and that we must make sure Zohran remains closer to us than to them.
In a lengthy call in June, Obama congratulated Mamdani, offered him advice about governing and discussed the importance of giving people hope in a dark time.

Others in Obama’s orbit have also shown a keen interest in Mamdani, too.

Zohran’s citibike numbers make me feel like we need to start demanding bike share stats from our politicians in the same way we demand tax returns

I was unable to double check whether my card was charged more than once for over a year thanks to the history page being gone 💗 I get the privacy concerns but they were simply not that much different from the status quo with the metrocard.
More OMNY news: @mta.info has FINALLY reactivated the trip and charge history portal on the OMNY site years after removing it due to privacy concerns.

Sorta. Instead of actually fixing anything they just removed the subway station/bus route info. But at least you can verify free transfers again.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.
