While the state’s wealthiest billionaires raked in $42 billion last year, most of us are struggling to keep a roof over our heads. That’s the system Governor Hochul is protecting. It has to change. Rally with us tomorrow to tax the rich. dsa.nyc/TTRRally

I used to joke that I wanted it on record that my belief in dismantling the Supreme Court did not entail believing in Congress as a functional institution. But that made me part of the problem: "a Left deeply invested in state capacity but hesitant to articulate who should control state power."

This is a very strange moment, in how obvious it is that a major crisis is approaching, and how calmly and clearly people are observing it come. www.ft.com/content/3647...

A brand new Socialist in Office has arrived in Albany 🫡 Congratulations, @dianaforqueens.com — and to the voters of the 36th District for electing such a powerful champion for the working class.

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.

more socialists please

We’re out here every day. Watching over our streets. Making sure our kids get to school safely. Delivering groceries to our neighbors. We’re doing everything we can to protect one another. But it’s not enough. On Friday Jan 23, we shut MN down. No work. No school. No shopping. ICE out of MN now.

"We must recognize that we can't solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power.”
