Can someone explain to me why people keep translating "Cabo" to "Cape" but never "Verde" to "Green" I have been quietly losing my mind about this for weeks. It's like saying "Coast d'Ivoire" or "The Salvador", why why why why why

There is no excuse for, or compromise with, the vile hatred filling the comments of my friend Mustafa's post for the Somali flag-raising ceremony yesterday. I am deeply proud of the diversity not only of my West Side home, but of the entire 149th district. My Somali neighbors add to the excitement

Periodic reminder that all criminal theft (larceny, robbery, burglary, etc.) each year - ADDED TOGETHER - is less than employers steal from their employees.

The votes are in, and @mobreezy213.bsky.social has unseated Bill Magnarelli, who has held this seat since 1999 www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

This was a Christmas present from Sarah that I saved for a special occasion. I always believed in my heart that we would win this, and this day would come. (I was way too tired to get into it last night.)

To be able to do something I love (photography) for not only a candidate I believe in, but someone I call a friend, is such a gift. Looking forward to capturing many more moments in the future!

I am still catching up on life, but let me give some flowers real quick: enormous thank you to @bobz.bsky.social for his amazing photography at our events. He has captured wonderful moments for us over and over, and I am grateful to call him a friend!

Chip in toward November (grind doesn’t stop) secure.actblue.com/donate/bojak...

From the start, this has been OUR campaign. We are building a coalition of working people who know a better world is possible, and are fighting for it. We’re not done: next up, we’re taking on MAGA, the far right, and even more corporate greed.

Adam Bojak wins as an unapologetic democratic socialist in upstate New York! For years pundits told us our vision for New York would never resonate outside of NYC and downstate… @bojak4assembly.bsky.social proves them ALL wrong. This is a movement for ALL working people, no matter your zip code 🌹

Let me be the first to say: today begins a brand new election cycle for the general in November - which means our public funds reset to 0, and every in-district donation gets matched again by the state! You know you want to: secure.actblue.com/donate/bojak...

Let’s Go!!!

State Sen. Jeremy Zellner's tenure in Albany appears to be over. Nearly all voting precincts have reported in, and Jon Rivera sits with a comfortable 9% lead over Zellner.

Good morning everyone! Polls open in less than twenty minutes. Make sure you get out there today before 9:00pm and vote Bojak (AD149) and Rivera (SD61)!

The UAW, a union with some 400,000 active members across the U.S., has voted to divest its estimated $400,000 from Israel bonds. The divestment vote makes the UAW the first major national union to vote to divest from Israel.

This PAC is terrified of us winning; let's make them sorry they ever spent a single penny on this election. bojakforassembly.com/vote

Reminder: early voting opens in less than half an hour, and goes until 5:00pm! Same hours tomorrow. Then, the polls will be closed Monday, and open again Tuesday from 6:00am to 9:00pm. Countywide early voting locations here:

Despite all this, our communities still shine brightly. The 50th anniversary of the Buffalo Juneteenth celebration is one example of how Western New Yorkers resist, persist, and celebrate. Wishing you and yours a healthy, happy Juneteenth filled with rest, joy, and connection!

Slavery still haunts us today, present in unpaid labor in prisons and police violence, including the recent murder of 1 year-old Kohen Wiley in Texas. We cannot and must not look away from the evil in our society—we must fight it head on.

Happy Freedom Day! Today, we celebrate the anniversary of the full emancipation of Black Americans from slavery-two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. We are also reminded that the fight for civil rights and racial justice is ongoing, and will take all of us.

Let's go!

At Hamburg's Pride in the Park this past weekend, a person was walking around raising awareness about the Buffalo Trans Resource Network - so, I wanted to do my best to give it a boost!

I’m ready to join the growing coalition of socialist leaders in the Assembly and State Senate, who are fighting for our rights from Brooklyn to Buffalo. Plus, local leaders trust me to change Democratic Party politics-as-usual in Erie County.

My campaign platform for a healthy, housed, and affordable WNY comes from real experience. I am a Family Court and housing rights attorney, who’s seen the working class struggle. My beliefs aren’t slogans—they are long-held principles I’ll bring to Albany with me.

Early Voting is underway! As you head to the polls, here’s a refresher on our campaign, and why I’m ready to fight and win for District 149 🧵 I’m a dad, democratic socialist, and lifelong Western New Yorker, trusted by union members to deliver for our future.

We endorse Adam Bojak in the Democratic primary for the open seat in Buffalo's 149th Assembly District. He supports major improvements to Buffalo's bike infrastructure, and he'll fight for increased funding for the region's buses and very limited rail options. www.streetspac.org/2026_nys_pri...

Professional soccer is the only sport where an off-setting minor for embellishment actually makes sense

I mean, yeah, I KNOW, but... there are still three former Sabres in this picture

You know how I know we're going to win? Because earlier today, I knocked @katebits.bsky.social's door and got to meet her in person - and she already had our lawn sign! Nothing better than meeting longtime mutuals in real life.

Goddammit, now I'm crying at my office. This hits so hard now

I don't understand how so many people can ENJOY the weather when it is so hot and muggy at the same time. I feel like I'm chewing the air

Yeah, no kidding Siri. Welcome to GOTV

Beautiful flag-raising ceremony today in Niagara Square to kick off Juneteenth celebrations (50th anniversary locally!). As Council Member Halton-Pope said so powerfully: this is a call to action, because the work is far from done. None of us is free until we are ALL free.

Thank you so much - we are honored to have your endorsement and support!

In the Capital Region, we’re proud to endorse for Assembly: AD 109: @gabriellaromero.bsky.social Central NY: AD 125: Anna Kelles AD 128: Pamela Hunter AD 129: @mobreezy213.bsky.social Finger Lakes: AD 136: Sarah Clark AD 137: Demond Meeks Western NY: AD 149: @bojak4assembly.bsky.social

My problem with this entire debate around tax increases in the City of Buffalo is: nobody is talking about repealing the 485-a tax exemption. Any tax increases passed now will fall disproportionately on the average person, instead of shared evenly with the wealthy developers.

Sign up today!

I don't know what else to say: my heart is very full tonight.

A dark money corporate PAC funded by millions from DraftKings and FanDuel is trying to buy this race for our opponent. We are NOT about to let that happen.

Fun game: what is a lyric you wish you wrote? I always come back to Silver Jews: And when there's trouble, I don't like running But I'm afraid I got more in common With who I was than who I am becoming

DraftKings and FanDuel are spending millions in NY races - including almost $300,000 in ours to boost our opponent by cynically parroting our platform. Why? Because their polling showed our message is popular - and that WE ARE THE ONES WHO WILL TAX THE RICH. x.com/robcgalbrait...

How can you not love a candidate who plays Super Mario Cart at his fundraiser? Vote @bojak4assembly.bsky.social in next month's Democratic primary!

Ah yes, my favorite part of canvassing: talking to someone who can't wait to vote for us, but they can't accept a lawn sign because they are afraid of retaliation from their landlord. These are the kinds of things our campaign aims to change in Albany.

Reminder to everyone: this town hall is today! Come on out to hear why our campaign is the right choice for working-class Western New Yorkers.

Pack the house in support of our endorsed cadre candidate @bojak4assembly.bsky.social We're thrilled Adam gets the chance to share with the community the vision we fight for, and the socialist solutions that truly meet WNY's needs. Sat., 5/23, 1-3 pm.

Renters in Albany, Buffalo, Kingston, Ithaca, Rochester & Syracuse face high rent burdens and rising costs. The REST Act would give local officials the power to step in and stabilize rents before more families are displaced. Read our new brief cssny.us/RESTAct
