NYC-DSA is proud to announce its third round of state endorsements with three young, passionate, and motivated democratic socialists who are prepared to fight for working New Yorkers every day in Albany.

San Francisco could follow the example from New York and begin to build a whole new political bloc based entirely around making PG&E public. In the Hudson Valley, the fight against their corporate utility, Central Hudson, is a defining part of @sarahana.bsky.social's work as a state Assembly member.

The citywide outage is San Francisco is going to be the straw that broke PG&E's stranglehold on California politics. Here's my state Senator calling for public ownership- not just for San Francisco but all of PG&E statewide. The future is public and that's what @publicgrids.org is for.

So many attacks against trans kids last week, plus a Democratic governor making, uh, strange choices:

Find out what Kathy has been up to in the latest @autonomynews.co roundup:

would it be accurate to say that there is a much greater taboo in media against insulting conservatives ("elitist," "out of touch," "why democrats lost") than insulting liberals or the left?

that's okay, it'll be offset by all those Trump-approved nuclear plants that will definitely get built, to completion, in a timely and affordable manner

NYC's OMNY card is here, and I am full of regret aftermath.site/nyc-subway-omn...

if those in power had done the things the climate movement said to do when we first said to do them, there wouldn't *be* a climate crisis. any serious conversation about "realism" has to start there

I am beyond grateful for all our volunteers who joined us today to announce Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s endorsement (and helped us knock almost 500 doors after)! Together, we will continue the movement he started. Muchísimas gracias, mi alcalde, for your endorsement. 🌹

I will keep saying it powermapmag.com/the-argument...

I am honored to receive the endorsement of Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social—a friend, fellow democratic socialist & fierce advocate for Queens—to succeed him in the State Assembly. Together, we’ll defend working families, fight the rising tide of fascism, and deliver an affordable NYC.

Kathy Hochul is to the right of Mitt Romney

"We can try to figure out: do the Right Wing Excusers genuinely want more left wing outcomes, and just wrongly believe that always moving right is the only way to get closer to them? ....But ...is this really the best use of our time in 2025? powermapmag.com/the-argument...

"The mere idea that there can be a 'bottom vs top' politics should not be allowed in serious discourse. By any reasonable understanding, this is what left vs right is." powermapmag.com/it-is-about-...

"There is infinite money in telling oligarchs what they want to hear, and what they want to hear is that the left is bad, moving the left more towards the right is right, and you’re such a special little boy for thinking it." powermapmag.com/the-argument...

The advocacy group founded by the late Jamal Khashoggi, Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), has published a report which unveils the senior leadership of AIPAC— most of whom have not been previously disclosed.

is there a reason this particular stupid compact article has become such a thing? the right has been saying this exact stuff for a million years

So that's how Alex Karp was able to afford his $120 million, 3,700-acre Colorado monastery.

pretty interesting run down of the recent debates over chi and alexa and what they say about the future of the nyc left

Member of the Epstein class says what

the first pundit I ever hated

i made a template you can use to think about what "frame/negation/kirby" looks like for other issues. For example: Frame: DOGE is a govt efficiency project to save $ Negation: Actually it made things less efficient and cost $ Kirby: DOGE was a project to break and privatize federal bureaucracy

i made a helpful reference

As any organizer knows, victory can be exhilarating, but it can also be disorganizing. @danielgoulden.bsky.social writes about the debates roiling the New York City left in the wake of Zohran's victory. powermapmag.com/the-entropy-...

You don't have to listen to the Arguer In Chief powermapmag.com/the-argument...

I think this is going to be indispensable to remember over the next few years

After Zohran, the organized left is in a great position. Too bad it's lead to us fighting a bunch. I try to make sense of things.

[email protected] made me the organizer I am today.🌹✊🏾 During Trump's first term, DSA gave me hope that a better world was still possible. That hope guides my campaign for a Ward 1 with rent caps, free childcare, union jobs, and everything we need for a life of dignity and joy.

One of the richest men in New York is spending millions of dollars to keep you from having free childcare. Here's how he talks:

“I want to continue [Zohran's] legacy of expanding our political imagination beyond what we think is possible.” Great to speak with @jacobinmag.bsky.social about our unapologetically democratic socialist campaign to succeed Zohran in the State Assembly! jacobin.com/2025/12/more...

this is ruining my life

Something I get push back on about public power is along the lines of "but local officials will be susceptible to bribery from fossil fuels and block renewables" as if this is something that doesn't happen under the system we already have!

Data centres are being marketed as 'vital cogs in the energy transition', but the metaphor is wrong. They're black holes, sucking up time, light, matter and energy from the decarbonisation space and redeploying it to protecting big tech's profits. www.businessinsider.com/ford-data-ce...

More New Yorkers want to Tax The Rich than voted for Kathy Hochul.

once again I am happy to talk to anyone about running communications for a campaign that beat a 27 year incumbent by making climate the main issue of the election! it's a thing!

Elon Musk is the single biggest recipient of federal government contracts. It's not too late to tax back the wealth he stole from us.

the DREAM design team has done it again

Taxing The Rich includes taxing Andrew Cuomo

This is a project that was backed by the Sierra Club, many local environmental groups, the Long Island chamber of commerce, the building and construction trades… and opposed by a bunch of Hamptons nimbys who raised a literal million dollars in their opposition (including from Ron Lauder).

we are taking on one of the worst cliches in politics

“The fact that “right populism” exists proves this, as the right is inherently opposed to empowerment of the masses. The things that populism describes are not political substance, but a way of branding political substance. A way that, when used by the right, is deliberately misleading.” Brilliant

Did the Mamdani-Trump meeting preview a new kind of “bottom vs top” politics? Does Marjorie Taylor Green transcend political labels? Is it time to move beyond "left vs right" entirely? No! Organizer @blimpjuice.bsky.social on the only two sides there are: powermapmag.com/it-is-about-...

This week, lefitst antiwar group Code Pink met and congratulated Marjorie Taylor Green for her "anti war" activism. This piece gets at why that was fucking stupid.

nice a fun little read that details the mechanism behind why exactly "common sense" is a red flag phrase to me, that I wouldn't have been able to articulate

we are taking on one of the worst cliches in politics

when pundits try to downplay Zohran because it's NYC or whatever, this chart shows it's just objectively true he is the reason everyone picked up "affordability" as the main thing in politics now

There's a billionaire club, and thankfully, you're not in it.

People need to acknowledge that all of the loud voices on the "Dems have to move to the center" team are paid by a Super PAC with the express purpose of electing more moderate Dems. They are not putting impartial empirical research out there. it's just Super PAC fundraising masquerading as "data"

genuinely great news
