The U.S. has counted on Cuba’s “fall” for decades and been wrong at every turn. It’s on us, as Americans, to organize against this naked imperialism. We need to stop Trump’s war machine and undo decades of U.S. economic warfare on Cuba.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

After a lot of thought, I’m not running for office this cycle. Grateful for the support I received and more committed than ever to building working-class power. Let’s organize and elect NYC-DSA candidates ready to fight for a democratic socialist future: socialists.nyc/candidates/

15,000 @nynurses.bsky.social are on strike in NYC. I’m proud to stand with them. Nurses are the backbone of our hospitals. When they fight for fair contracts, they’re fighting for patient safety too. To the private hospitals still holding out: give nurses the contract they deserve!

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Our members have sent thousands of letters demanding a WPR on Venezuela and will continue to demand Congress hold this administration accountable for its illegal invasion and kidnapping in Venezuela

Tonight hundreds of NYers gathered to demand accountability for the murder of Renee Nicole Good. ICE has torn families apart and it is now targeting the observers of its crimes. There must be no level of cooperation with Trump’s gestapo in NYC or beyond. ABOLISH ICE!

When you send armed agents into communities to kidnap our neighbors, this kind of violence is bound to happen. That's why an attack on our immigrant brothers and sisters is an attack on all of us. ICE must be abolished.

Last night, @socialists.nyc honored trans lives we should never have lost. Their memory calls us to do better. New York must lead by guaranteeing trans healthcare, trans rights, and proud, dignified lives for all.

Grateful to be included in this @elpais.com piece on Cuban-Americans who voted for Zohran. Our generation isn’t scared of the word “socialism.” We’re scared of rent, medical debt, and living on a knife’s edge. That’s why we’re choosing a different politics.

We are SO CLOSE to 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ DAY ONE SUPPORTERS for our potential run for State Assembly! Join up and help us fight for the affordability agenda from day 1️⃣ valdesforny.com

A beautiful day to stand with New Yorkers and say: the new gilded age ends here. We’re going to take the wealth that working people create every day and invest it to build a city and state that puts working people, not billionaire donors, first. TAX THE RICH! 📸: @harrison-cn.bsky.social

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Tomorrow at noon we launch an essential fight for the affordability agenda. Zohran can’t do it alone. It will take a movement to push Albany to put working New Yorkers before billionaire donors and tax the rich. Join us! actionnetwork.org/events/tax-t...

Follow our campaign account @valdesforny.com. More to come soon! 👇👇👇

Last night I announced my intention to run for an open Assembly seat in AD-75 — and I did it in the only place I can imagine doing so: @socialists.nyc

DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.

Hey New York, if a certain senator has you looking for a political home that won’t bow to fascists and oligarchs and still has a spine, join @socialists.nyc socialists.nyc/join

On Tuesday, Americans delivered a message to democrats in the loudest possible terms: DON'T CAVE. But instead of meeting the moment, Schumer is smothering it. We need leaders willing to fight authoritarianism and oligarchy tooth and nail.

Lindsey’s tenacious bravery in speaking out against Cuomo’s treatment of women was the first domino that helped bring us to last night’s victory. I’m proud to call her a friend and a fellow Democratic Socialist.

Almost a year ago, we hosted a small fundraiser in our living room for a friend, organizer, and socialist in office running what felt like a long-shot campaign for mayor. Look at how far we've come. When we fight together, we win. And we’re just getting started. 🌹❤️‍🔥

Honored to share some words with @socialists.nyc members and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social supporters on a historic night. We've got a city to win. We've got a state to win. We've got a country to win. We've got a world to win. JOIN DSA TODAY: socialists.nyc/join

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city. Tomorrow, we win it together.

The amount of hustle @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @socialists.nyc have shown in the last week is beyond belief. Legendary stuff worthy of the history books. The DSA difference🌹

Halloween Voters for Zohran ✅🎃

Climate has not come up very much in the span of this mayoral election. Yet we had record-breaking heat at the end of the primary and now at the end of the general a flash flood that killed two New Yorkers. We should be talking a lot more about climate change.

Lots of great conversations at the doors in Hell's Kitchen this week! We even had an old friend drop by our canvas launch. We've got to leave it all on the field! Sign up for a canvassing or phone banking shift today! zohranfornyc.com/gotv

The Islamophobic attacks against @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social are the disgusting last gasp of a dynasty and way of doing politics New Yorkers are ready to turn the page on.

I am so proud of my DSA comrades on delegation 🥲 You all stretched yourselves be on this trip, and to listen, learn and grow in your understanding of Cuban socialism. I'm so excited to see what we will do together to lift the blockade.

When my grandparents arrived from Cuba, the U.S. gave them healthcare and residency after a year — not out of compassion, but Cold War politics. Still, that support changed their lives. Every immigrant deserves the same welcome, not walls and raids. www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025...

"The point of asking Zohran [if Cuba is a dictatorship] is to divide us. We do not have to take the bait." @dsacuba.bsky.social sky.social cochair Danny Valdes (@through.blog) writes for Power Map on Zohran's comments on Cuba and how we respond. powermapmag.com/cuba-dictato...

Ask any NYer, they'll tell you our street vendors are not only welcome here - they are part of what makes New York New York. ICE cannot be allowed to rip our neighbors away from us w/ impunity. NY must not cooperate w/ the forces stealing people from our own streets. www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/21/i...

Excited to launch in @powermap.bsky.social with an essay on Zohran's recent Cuba comments and how we respond to rhetorical traps as a movement powermapmag.com/cuba-dictato...

I was so honored to lead this delegation with @through.blog, happy to plan it with @zorakc2c.bsky.social, Tom, Tristan, and Bob, and touched to see our comrade delegates experiencing new depths of solidarity as they learned from the Cuban people (and the ongoing revolution). Abajo el bloqueo!

It was an incredible experience to visit Cuba as a delegate in 2023, and an even better one to lead this 2025 delegation along with my intrepid @dsacuba.bsky.social co-chair @cblechman.bsky.social. On this trip we proved yet again that Cuba is a uniting issue for DSA. We will end the US blockade!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Eric Adams, probably the worst mayor in city history, someone who stole millions from taxpayers and was indicted on mail and wire fraud, gets his flowers from Hakeem Jeffries. Checks out: coward praises conman 💐

Eric Adams just handed $2B to a billionaire developer in an unprecedented sweetheart deal. Taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing real estate profits while families on the West Side can’t afford rent. Local leaders should claw this money back and put it to work for everyday NYers!

The US using the language of "human rights" to justify isolating and starving Cuba is as insidious and evil as Israel’s rationale for starving Gaza.

put street trees everywhere you can in a neighborhood, make curb cuts so that their roots can absorb storm water from the street, grow native plants around their base, check back in five years and count how many welfare and health measures have improved

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social won a historic mandate to make #NYC a city that puts families first. We are organizing to deliver that agenda: universal childcare, fully-funded public schools, and safe streets for our kids. Parents, your political home is here. Join us: socialists.nyc/cwk

@socialists.nyc powered @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 's victory. Now, we’re organizing for universal childcare, fully funded public schools, and safe streets for our kids. Join us for a mass call to connect with other parents and get involved in building a city that puts families first.

my kid is currently playing a game on roblox where you go around collecting various italian brainrot characters

Tomorrow I'll be part of a @rootsaction.org teach-in to talk about how U.S. sanctions devastate countries like #Cuba and how we can organize to end them. Come through! teachinnetwork.org/NationalCall

In 2022, Cuba passed a Family Law Referendum to strengthen gender equality & legally recognize same-sex marriage/adoption. Join us on June 13, 4-6pm, for a virtual panel discussion with experts on on what we can learn from this policy victory! Zoom info & details: actionnetwork.org/events/queer...
