Our September general meeting is this Thursday! Join us in person or on zoom to talk general election organizing, voter education, social action, and plans for 2026!

Join NKD at our September general meeting, this Thursday evening! All are welcome, online in person at First Unitarian in Downtown Brooklyn!

Join local orgs, elected officials, and activists to Stand Against ICE on Saturday, September 27th! We will be gathering in Astoria to demand an end to the disappearances. We will share resources to learn about how to get involved in local organizing and protect our neighbors against ICE!

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

for decades the only way to win a Surrogate's Court judgeship in Brooklyn was through the Brooklyn Democratic Party, to which Abrams provides ~unlimited legal work on an informal / IOU basis so every judge making these health care surrogate decisions would be in their pocket already

WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT ABRAMS FENSTERMAN WITH ME TODAY

Reminder: There's a competitive general election race for City Council right here in BK! We'll be out in Southern BK at 11 am tomorrow to support Kayla Santosuosso. This seat will make a real difference to what gets done at the council level in the coming years and every vote will matter. Join us!

Last night, Democratic mayoral nominee @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social spoke about his commitment to a "shared notion of humanity" – which led him to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the mass shooting at a Colorado school and the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

This is tomorrow night, 5-9 pm at the Coney Island YMCA! Last chance to have your voice heard. Let’s make sure this decision reflects the wishes of local community members, not billionaire casino developers.

The Council could have sued the Charter Commission over the wording, but didn't. It could be mounting an aggressive campaign against these questions at the ballot box, but it isn't (yet). Instead, we're getting an end-run attempt to block voters from having their say on the city's biggest issue.

This is a good op-ed and a good update on why the adminstrators of our democratic process are about to do an underhanded assault on our democracy. Shame on the Board of Elections if they go through with it.

Good op-ed by @craiggurian.bsky.social in @nydailynews.com on why Frank Seddio and his GOP allies on the Board of Elections have no business striking pro-housing ballot proposals just because they don't like them (gift link)

Republicans on NYC's Board of Elections think they can illegally overrule ballot questions—or at least delay for long enough that the questions can't be printed on ballots. Signal boost, send emails, and help us stop them:

There was already a long list of reasons Frank Seddio is unfit to be a BOE commissioner. This sort of backroom dealing with Republicans in order to block voters from having their say is a perfect illustration.

This would be an outrageous abuse of the Board of Elections role in order to override the democratic process.

Join us for our annual picnic on Saturday (9/6) in the Mount Prospect Park lawn area (entrance on Eastern Parkway between the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Public Library). See you there, follow this link for all the details: partiful.com/e/70fA62ooKN...

Join New Kings Democrats at our annual summer picnic this Saturday! Noon to 3pm at Mount Prospect Park! All are welcome, friends and family encouraged! (But we can't promise we won't try to sell them on running for county committee) partiful.com/e/70fA62ooKN...

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: We welcome anyone to join this movement.

Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field. New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.

If Democrats unify behind @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's vision for a more affordable and inclusive NYC, we won't need to worry about whatever corrupt bargains are made between Trump, Adams, and Cuomo.

Advisers to Trump have discussed the possibility of giving Mayor Eric Adams a position in the administration as a way to clear the field in November’s mayoral election and damage the chances of the Democratic front-runner, Zohran Mamdani, according to three people with knowledge of the discussions.

👏👏👏 to @zellnor.bsky.social for defeating corrupt Jesse Hamilton in 2018, we love to see it. 👎👎👎 to Eric Adam’s for allowing Hamilton’s corruption at City Hall. www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/28/h...

Gina and Tony Argento donated $80k to the Brooklyn Dems & Party Boss Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn—the latter praising the Argentos & their plan. Yet the Argentos lost campaigns for County Committee, Assembly & District Leader to local groups, like Rep Your Block. People power beats the machine!

Don’t miss our August General Meeting at Kent Ale House—from Zohran’s campaign to County Committee, it’s gonna be a big one. Link in bio to RSVP or register for Zoom.

that's actually really normal, i've done that too

With a supporting role by Frank Carone, former chief of staff to Eric Adams.

NEW: Brooklyn power broker Frank Seddio filed more than 500 “no-fault” auto insurance lawsuits on behalf of a Brooklyn-based physician accused across multiple lawsuits of participating in schemes to obtain money from insurance companies.

It’s not, they have, and by doing this, Hakeem Jeffries is once again supporting a narcissistic sex pest with a record of corruption (who is the reason NY’s gerrymandering is what it is and why Jeffries is not speaker!!) over the rightful winner of the Democratic Primary.

This is so mendacious. Endorse, don't endorse, whatever. But this is Jeffries flat-out running cover for a supposed "scandal" that he and everyone else knows is entirely spurious—and on behalf of a corrupt, compromised candidate who lost the Democratic primary in a landslide.

Frank Seddio taught Eric Adams everything he knows about politics. I mean, Adams’ Brooklyn campaign HQ is *in* Seddio’s office!! Adams says, “It was the place that shaped and made me. It was the place that taught me.” ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

What can we do about it? Control of the BK Dem Party hinges on the party’s executive committee—made up of Seddio and 41 other district leaders, two from each of the assembly districts in Brooklyn. Each of these positions will be up for re-election next year in the Democratic primaries. 13/🧵

Protecting and elevating people like Seddio is what causes voters to lose faith in politics and in our party. It also results in a party that is ineffective at its core function—supporting Democratic candidates and building grassroots support for policies that help New Yorkers. 12/🧵

🧵 where @newkingsdems.bsky.social asks - and answers - the most important question.

The true face of Brooklyn’s Democratic Party: A $9,200 personal portrait, $20K for Xmas decorations: Questions raised about Frank Seddio campaign spending www.nydailynews.com/2025/08/10/a...

Again, I cannot stress enough how much of NYC politics (but especially Brooklyn) is just the same 7 or 8 people committing comically inept types of grift while going after things like "bike lanes," all while the city becomes increasingly unaffordable. The🧵 by NKD provides some much-needed context.

My Roman Empire:

Blockbuster story in the @nydailynews.com this weekend. It illustrates many of the reasons we at New Kings Democrats have been fighting for a better Brooklyn Democratic Party and why that fight matters. It’s about Frank Seddio. But it’s about a lot more than him too. 1/🧵

"The portrait and the holiday decorations headline a list of some $175,000 in expenditures by Friends of Frank Seddio and the Kings County Democratic County Committee when Seddio was leading it that raise questions" via @nydailynews.com

Hey @andrewcuomo: Is it true that you spoke to Donald Trump about clearing the right-wing lane for you? When? What did you promise him in return? New Yorkers deserve to know. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

Disgraceful and disqualifying

New: A donor to Mayor Adams has pleaded guilty to playing part in a sprawling insurance fraud scheme that a separate civil lawsuit claims also involved a company co-founded by Frank Carone, Adams' reelection campaign boss and longtime political confidant. www.nydailynews.com/2025/07/30/n...

New Kings Democrats members have endorsed Democratic nominee @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for NYC Mayor in the 2025 general election! Typically NKD doesn’t make endorsements in the general election—as a Democratic club we don't need to take a vote to support Democrats against Republicans...

Tonight, join us!

Our July general meeting is this Thursday 7/24! We'll be in-person at First Unitarian in Brooklyn Heights. Whether you're a veteran NKDer or brand new to local politics, we'd love to see you there! RSVP here:
