They're making this very eas...cute.

SHUT DOWN. The Dept. of Education is furloughed by 87% and ICE only 5%. Air traffic control is still operating, but without pay. Source: @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social.

SHUT DOWN. Today is the first day public media does not have federal $$ support. We're NYC-based and support WNYC, but also a good opp to support the super alt-media options we have here like @nygroove.nyc, @hellgatenyc.com and @nysfocus.bsky.social.

SHUT DOWN. 140k NYers will have to pay more for insurance if concessions are not made by the party that shall not be named... gothamist.com/news/new-yor...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we can officially say that Mayor Adams has indeed been to Gracie Mansion at least once.

If this isn't the lil campaign sign that could.

An iconic 3 minute presser.

Hearing @katiehonan.bsky.social in the background of this Adams presser is the kind of energy we're about.

"We harnessed the renewable energy that is New York’s desire to hate some asshole." @vksmith.bsky.social talked to @dreamfornyc.bsky.social about what's next post-Cuomo, how the left can still defeat billionaire donors and the good old fashioned power of New York haters nygroove.nyc/dream-campai...

Based on unofficial results, 1,026,783 Democrats cast votes in the primary. The final round included 973,864, which means there were 52,919 exhausted ballots. That also means that even if every exhausted ballot had actually ranked Cuomo, he still would have lost

THREE ROUNDS!

i voted early today and followed @softpowervote.bsky.social’s guide for my district and county seats:

THIS IS INSANE.

I ran in 2022. I lost the NYTimes endorsement and the race to an extremely wealthy white man with 0 experience. I was the legislator and former staffer with 20 years of legislative experience under my belt. So, what this tell me is, we will never be “experienced” enough.

What I learned today is that the @nytopinion.nytimes.com doesn’t believe in young people of color in leadership. Time and time again people tout “seniority” and “experience”. 75 years ago, there were no women of color elected in NY. Where is “seniority” or “experience” to come from for us?

Remember! NYC we have ranked choice voting! Zorhan #1 Don't rank Cuomo! If you need some more primers on candidates and other elections check out @softpowervote.bsky.social

ya girl is gonna be on THEE Brian Lehrer Show this morning in the 10 o'clock hour talking about, what else: the competitive down ballot local races you have not thought about yet!! COUNCIL RACES: www.thecity.nyc/2025/05/05/1... BOROUGH PRESIDENTS: www.thecity.nyc/2025/05/22/w...

Great interview with NYC Comptroller candidate and current City Council member (47, Bayridge), and chair of the Finance Committee @justinbrannan.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_nF...

Jessica Ramos endorsing Cuomo is a dealbreaker. Petty! Opportunistic! Stupid! We're glad to see other endorsements pull their support. We've updated our ranking (hello Michael Blake)!

on our way to update our mayoral rank, like:

Reminder: if election news has got you feeling 🫠 today, join us and @softpowervote.bsky.social on Monday for a voter happy hour: get your hands on SPV's 2025 voter guide, a ranked-choice-voting one sheet and $5 beers! nygroove.nyc/voter-guide-...

In the space of about a decade

EVERY NEW YORKER SUBWAY RIDER NEEDS TO KNOW THIS!!!!!!!!!!

This is an incredibly embarrassing move for Jessica Ramos.

Hot takes from tonight's Mayoral Debate? We'll start: too many hosts.

Join us on Monday 6/9 at Singers for a RCV happy hour! Bring your questions.

Tryna make them better but if they can't level up, then it's on to the next, on, on, to the next one.

There should've been an entire group of Democratic Senators that joined Chris Van Hollen. He shouldn't be the only one.

"In a statement, Kayla Mamelak Altus, a spokeswoman for the mayor, said that the lawsuit 'seems baseless and contrary to the public interest in protecting NYrs from violent criminals.'" But 75%+ of those sent to CECOT c0nc3ntrati0n camp in El Salvador have no violent criminal record. (axios)

AN IMPORTANT SPREADSHEET

Unfortunately for all of us, Eric Adams is having a very good April so far. A new issue of our Level Up newsletter just dropped and @mollzlolz.bsky.social goes IN on the Eric Adams indictment timeline which came to a dramatic climax last week. Tap in! Early Voting starts in 64 days!

And just like that, DREAM is now Don't Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor.

Inbox: "A Jewish-led group of Columbia students have chained themselves to the locked campus gates in solidarity with Palestinian students, with 1 demand: the Uni provide the names of the trustees who reported Mahmoud Khalil to ICE... [they] refuse to unchain themselves until [they are answered]"

Cory Booker's last message is a quote from John Lewis: "Good trouble." Let's see if he can live up to that himself.
