One of the things I love most about Zohran’s rise to power is that it shows so clearly how we could have a better democracy—one that actually serves us instead of just the rich—if the left decides collectively to take electoralism and government seriously. It’s ours for the taking if we want it.

This is actually quite fucked up but imagine how good it feels as a state assembly campaign volunteer to expose malfeasance on the part of the incumbent through careful forensic analysis of public documents

We've uncovered what might be the biggest case of petition fraud in NYC's history, and now I'm taking my opponent to court.

Hey @hellgatenyc.com or @thecity.nyc, how about a followup on this story? I'd read it!

Now that this news is public, here's what to expect: Even when fraud is found, courts tend not to invalidate petitions (though this is JR's 2nd incident, so this time they might). It might take until mid-May for this to play out in court. So let's keep the pedal to the metal for @david4queens.com.

All NY-7 filings are public and we outraised the field with $751,680. But our unitemized total (donations of less than $200) tells the real story. Us: $299k Reynoso: $34k Won: $24k We had 11,200 unique donors as of the 4/1 filing — and have added 3,400 new ones since. 🤯

Schumer and Gillibrand are a fucking disgrace

New blog post! "TACO Trump" is a phrase championed and echoed by elected Democrats who still want war with Iran, just on their terms. We deserve action, not memes, from the people who purport to stand up to Donald Trump: pastandsup.org/lancaster/20...

like perhaps the NEW YORK TIMES could spare a crumb of attention for the New York State budget?

A woman sued OpenAI last week alleging that ChatGPT reinforced the obsessive, violent delusions of her stalker (her ex-boyfriend.) This woman's claims (as detailed by TechCrunch, left) are chillingly similar to those of a completely different woman whose story Futurism reported on in Feb (right):

I should not have learned about a minor poster on x dot com named "Dort" before I learned that China is challenging US military hegemony on this website

For decades, we've been sold the lie that empire advances freedom and keeps us safe. Instead, it's led to violence, instability and a ruling class that reaps the profits but never pays the bill. Today we're releasing our vision for a different foreign policy: clairevaldezforcongress.com/nowar

proud of @socialists.nyc for an overwhelming membership vote in support of re-endorsing @aoc.bsky.social. Let's keep building the left together as the horrors of the world require of us

good @socialists.nyc day

Reynoso petitioned with Hindutva Jenifer Rajkumar 🤢🤢🤮

Three things made me a democratic socialist: low-wage jobs, the labor movement, and the presidential campaigns of Bernie Sanders. His political revolution changed my life — and showed millions of Americans what's possible when working people organize. I am so grateful for his support.

So many of us, including @claireforny.bsky.social would not be here today without Bernie's extraordinary leadership in the fight for working people against the billionaire class. Thank you @sanders.senate.gov for all you have given and continue to give our movement!

Just as there is no one way of being Jewish, there are as many interpretations of the Passover story.  Some find inspiration to recommit to liberation for all peoples, while others insist that Jewish safety relies on the occupation, disenfranchisement, and genocide of others.

The Passover seder is structured around questions we ask each year: why do we retell our escape from mitzrayim (“the narrow place”) to freedom? Why do we speak as though the story happened to us, rather than our ancestors? What relevance does our story of liberation have today?🧵

additionally, city council needs a culture overhaul. the process used to select the speaker is ridiculously undemocratic

Read and sign the petition here: bit.ly/NYCDSAforAOC Join SMC to keep building a mass democratic socialist movement: socialistmajority.com/join

Socialist Majority is proud to sponsor the NYC-DSA for AOC petition. @socialists.nyc must grow and strengthen the socialists bloc in Congress by deepening our partnership with AOC and supporting her re-election.

Happy Holi! Days like today are why I love Queens 🥰 Had so much fun celebrating at the Phagwah Parade with my friends at DRUM Beats, the Phagwah Social Justice collective, and @mayor.nyc.gov! ❤️💜💙💛💚🧡🩷

lmao the person Reynoso sent to the Bronx so he could pretend to be at the rally should just hop on over to Claire's team

bernie in NYC for tax the rich introduced by our @socialists.nyc co-chairs & our socialists in office

Tax The Rich rally at Lehman Center in the Bronx featuring @sanders.senate.gov where roughly 2,000 rallied to call on @governor.ny.gov to raise taxes on NY’s 1% to save healthcare and essential services for the 99%. Organized by a coalition including @dreamfornyc.bsky.social, @socialists.nyc & more

every single time I need to log in to my apple account (on those cursed occasions) I find that the account is "locked" and I have to go through some 2fa / password reset bs. problem is the geniuses over at apple can't manage to make this work smoothly - codes don't get sent, reset links are broken

আমার সব বাংলাদেশি প্রতিবেশী আর বন্ধুদের স্বাধীনতা ও জাতীয় দিবসের শুভেচ্ছা! 🇧🇩 এই কমিউনিটির এনার্জি, কালচার আর দৃঢ়তা আমাদের শহর, বোরো আর ডিস্ট্রিক্টের সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ গর্ব। আজকে আপনাদের সাথে একসাথে উদযাপন করছি! ❤️💚

Intro 175-B, up for a vote in the NYC Council today, is an attack on labor organizing at educational institutions. My union at Columbia University would've struggled to win our strong contract under this law. NYC is a union town. Act like it.

Friday night, rank-and-file union members and leaders came together to launch Labor for Claire. This is the movement that raised me — and together, we're going to win.

Visiting Shri Shakti Mariammaa, Trimurti, and Bhuvaneshwar Mandirs this weekend, I was honored to be welcomed to their observance of Navratri. I was particularly moved by the words of Dharmacharya Pandit Chunelall Narine, which emphasized seeking inner peace in order to build a more peaceful world.

Hey AD-38! We’ve got a WEEK left to get on the ballot! If you or your best friend’s ex-situationship haven’t signed yet, come to Peg’s Cavalier in Ridgewood 6-8pm this week or after 1pm Sun. to find a volunteer! (Note: you must be a registered Dem in AD-38 to sign a petition)

Last month, I was elected by our democratic socialist movement to fight for an affordable NY and oppose Trump’s authoritarianism. And if we want to succeed, we’ll need more working class champions in office. That’s why today, I’m endorsing the full @socialists.nyc @buffalodsa.bsky.social slate!

AG Pam Bondi doxxed these four for standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Help them make up for lost wages and restore a sense of stability in their lives as they attend hearings in the months to come. Let them know they don’t stand alone by donating. www.givesendgo.com/minneapolisf...

Vote No War but Class War slate for Anti-War Working Group OC! We are fighting for an anti-war movement led by DSA and the working class. Ending imperialism must be incorporated into every aspect of our work, and it must be @socialists.nyc leading the fight.

It start by misinterpreting Turing. the Turing test only assess if a human can be fooled by a machine (a question that has been rendered meaningless, imo) (claim from the paper and the first page of Turing’s 1950 paper side by side) 2/

Thank you again, AD-38! We flew through our fundraising stretch goals and proved the working people of Queens are not for sale! From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful to have earned your support, and I will do everything in my power to make you proud.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

A stable, dignified life in New York City or anywhere else across the country shouldn't require homeownership. I'm running to give tenants a voice in Congress.

AI is an existential threat to all that is good about humanity

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories. But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production? They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

Join us and Team Samantha Kattan for Queens as we hit the Ridgewood nightlife to enjoy the local scene, grab some tasty cocktails, and get those petitioning ballot signatures for AD 38 and 37! act.david4queens.com/ridgewood-ba...

gas prices suck and all but what about the dead kids

This district is home to more artists than almost anywhere in the country but rising costs are pushing them out. I'm running to build an economy where time and space for creativity isn't a luxury reserved only for a lucky few.
