Socialists come in all sizes 🎳

On Tuesday night, we won our election by 57 points. On Wednesday morning, I traveled to the New York State Capitol to be sworn into office and seated as the Assemblymember for the 36th District. I'll be back in Albany tomorrow to continue fighting for the people of Astoria and Long Island City.

Live now with Hasan Piker and @claireforny.bsky.social!

"What we do is we organize. DSA members and DSA electeds know that the power is on the streets with constituents who are well-organized, knocking doors if necessary to get the Governor to tax the rich.” Thank you, Bobby Cuza and @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social's Inside City Hall, for having me on!

The first 48 hours with our newest Socialist in Office @dianaforqueens.com and some friends.

One day after being sworn in and casting my first votes in Albany, and two days after winning our election, I came back to Astoria and went straight to a town hall with @aoc.bsky.social. It’s a privilege to get to serve our community at this pivotal moment. And we are not slowing down!

7 months ago, I called my comrade @dianaforqueens.com and asked her to run for office. 11 weeks ago, we launched our campaign to maintain the People's Republic of Astoria. Yesterday, we won by 57 points. Today, Diana became Assemblymember Diana Moreno. What will we do tomorrow?

ICE is murdering people in the streets and kidnapping our children, including right here in Astoria. There is no time to waste. With my election yesterday, we have a mandate to pass New York for All and continue organizing to abolish ICE—and we will do it together.

Right after I took office today, I co-sponsored my first bill, a centerpiece of our campaign & close to my heart: the New York for All Act. Assemblymember Karines Reyes has long championed this critical legislation. We must prohibit state & local cooperation with Trump's deportation machine.

Today, I had the distinct honor of taking office as the Assemblymember for the 36th Assembly District—and it feels a lot like the first day of school!

Thank you, Queens! Today, Astoria and Long Island City voted to send a socialist immigrant mom to the New York State Assembly. Our movement is headed to Albany. I’m ready to make you proud.

This video of our campaign's march to the polls this morning perfectly encapsulates the beauty of our movement and the DSA Difference 🥲 Vote @dianaforqueens.com by 9pm tonight!

We launched this campaign 78 days ago. And in those 78 days, we have built something truly beautiful together. It was an honor to be accompanied by my family, friends, and supporters as I pushed my 1-year-old son down Steinway to cast my ballot for our movement. You can do the same until 9pm today!

Learn more, find your pollsite, and sign up to volunteer before the day is over at dianaforqueens.com.

This morning, I was joined by family, friends, supporters, and volunteers as we walked down Steinway to cast our ballots for Assembly. Now, I'm asking you to join me by voting before 9pm—to fight Trump's authoritarianism and continue our movement for a Queens we can afford.

“I want to fight like hell for my son, I want to fight like hell for all kids. I call myself a Ms. Rachel socialist. When I think about the path forward, I am choosing the path that I want for my child.” New from @michaellangenyc.bsky.social and @jacobinmag.bsky.social: jacobin.com/2026/02/more...

Yesterday, I sat down with @caaavvoice.bsky.social members to discuss tenant power, combating ICE, public safety & more. Our district's Bangladeshi community is diverse, resilient & politically engaged. I'm honored to have CAAAV Voice's support & I look forward to continuing our partnership.

We had so many canvassers this morning, we had to launch them from two different locations 😱 Thank you to our @socialists.nyc comrades from Flatbush and the Labor Working Group for coming out to knock some doors, even with below-freezing temperatures ❄️

Thank you so much to Château Le Woof and your wonderful staff for hosting us!

Today, 4 days before Election Day, we rallied in Astoria with @aoc.bsky.social @socialists.nyc & our incredible State Socialists in Office @sengonzalezny.bsky.social @juliasalazar.bsky.social @emilyassembly.bsky.social. It's an honor to be part of this movement. 🌹

In case you missed it, yesterday we endorsed Diana Moreno and Keith Powers in the February 3rd special election to fill vacant seats in the NYS Assembly. Read more about why @dianaforqueens.com and @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social earned our support here: www.streetspac.org/diana_moreno...

Can’t wait to vote on Tuesday for Mamdani’s replacement on the State Assembly. And yes, going with his pick, Diana Moreno. NY-036 us the best

This is the movement calling! 📞📱 Phonebank with us tomorrow at 12pm and 3pm and help us get across the finish line! dianaforqueens.com/phone

This afternoon, just eight weeks since we started canvassing, a volunteer in Astoria Houses knocked on our 10,000th door! 🎉 We've talked to over 2,500 voters at the doors about our grassroots campaign. Can you help us talk to even more in the final four days of the campaign? ⬇️

Why do working families trust @dianaforqueens.com? Because as an organizer & mom from Astoria, she knows what it takes to fight for our kids. In Albany, she will: ✅ Fight to Fix Tier 6 ✅ Implement Universal Childcare ✅ Fight for affordability Vote early through 2/1. #UFTVotes 💪

TOMORROW: Join @socialists.nyc @sengonzalezny.bsky.social @juliasalazar.bsky.social @emilyassembly.bsky.social (indoors!) to talk to our neighbors about electing another democratic socialist. 🌹 RSVP at the link below ⬇️

I’m proud to announce the support of @streetspac.org! Street safety advocates have been an engaged political force in Astoria and Long Island City. I can’t wait to work together to improve the safety and livability of our streets so children, workers, cyclists, and all residents can enjoy them.

“I am not running as an individual. I am running as part of a movement, and it is that kind of organized coalition of a multiracial working-class base that brought Mayor Mamdani into City Hall.” Enjoyed speaking with QNS.com about our campaign! qns.com/2026/01/dian...

We're excited to endorse Diana Moreno and Keith Powers for NYS State Assembly in February 3rd's special election! Read more about our endorsement of @dianaforqueens.com and @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social here: www.streetspac.org/diana_moreno...

I'm excited to welcome the endorsement of @32bjseiu.bsky.social, the union of frontline workers who keep our homes, offices, schools, and public spaces running. Together, we will create good-paying building service jobs, build more affordable housing, and defend immigrant workers.

We're just a few days from Election Day, and we're rallying (indoors) to Get Out The Vote for the final weekend! Join @sengonzalezny.bsky.social and Assemblymember Emily Gallagher this Saturday to talk to our neighbors about electing another democratic socialist.🌹

Just voted for @dianaforqueens.com and oh my god this sticker

Snow can’t stop this movement! ❄️ After school pick-up, we tabled with public school parents and volunteers to let working parents know about our child-centered movement for universal childcare, safe streets, and an affordable and green future for Queens kids and families! ✌🏽🌱💗

Carpenters: RISE! Thank you to the 50+ members of the NYC District Council of Carpenters who joined us in Astoria today to canvass our neighbors and let them know about the special election next Tuesday. This is what union power looks like! 💪🏽

This one means the world to me. @caaavvoice.bsky.social members have been building multi-racial working-class power for decades. I am honored to have their support. Together, we will take on real estate and corporate greed and secure a future of dignity for Queens’ working families.

This is it: ONE WEEK until our Election Day! We've built a campaign of hundreds of volunteers to knock 10k doors. We've raised $192k from 1k donors, with an average donation of just $58. Our coalition of labor unions, elected officials, and progressive organizations will bring us to Albany.

Honored to receive the endorsement of the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, representing nearly 40,000 hospitality & gaming workers. Together, we will protect good union jobs & take on corporations like Airbnb, which not only threaten hospitality jobs but also perpetuate New York’s housing crisis.

Zohran becoming Mayor means an opening in Assembly District 36 here in Queens. On Sat I voted early for @dianaforqueens.com, one of the happiest votes I’ve ever cast! I first met Diana in 2019 as volunteers on Bernie’s campaign. I’ve since watch her evolve from a passionate activist to a leader.

Doing errands and early voting in the cold for @dianaforqueens.com

In the #NewYorkSpecialElection, NYLCV Gives Green endorses Erik Bottcher for State Senate (District 47), @dianaforqueens.com for State Assembly (District 36), and @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social for State Assembly (District 74). buff.ly/CMqXhxB Early voting: Jan 24 – Feb 1. Election Day: Feb 3.
