While Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams trip over each other to win the approval of billionaires in backrooms, our campaign remains focused on working New Yorkers and their clear desire for a different kind of politics.

Thank you Rep. Espaillat for joining this campaign for an affordable NYC and for fighting Trump's authoritarianism in DC.
Adriano and I know that the only way we can protect this city is by standing firm in our values and standing up for working class and immigrant New Yorkers.

I know he's an old fart and ain't perfect - but he's my state senator and he's still fighting for our side no matter how hopeless it seems!
We Democrats can't make the corporate media report what we are doing. We can't force the hate Democrat grifters to spread truth. I can do it though. That's why I built this community. Chuck Schumer is fighting his ass off trying to force an investigation into cuts at the National Weather Service.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Q: "A 75 year old Cuban national died in ICE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years...Is there anything you can tell us about that?"
Border Czar Tom Homan: "People die in ICE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons."

Is it murder by fiat? Ethicists could certainly argue that such foreseeable consequences constitute pre-meditation as well. Is government really immune?

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right.

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.
This ain’t about law and order.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.
