A story! Most of the 7 hours of canvassing I did today was educating people about when they could vote and celebrating the people voting for Zohran (yay to our amazing pep squad! we had a cow bell! we got cars honking for voters! so much fun!). But most meaningful was...

Mobilizing voters for Zohran and telling people opposed to him to at least not vote for Cuomo. If you’re in New York City, and you can volunteer in the next few days, do it!

Our @doctorscouncilseiu.bsky.social members at Allina are striking! They demand a contract that is fair for them and ensures safe, quality care for their patients. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

While canvassing we've found many students don't know they're eligible to register here. So here's a PSA we should all share with students we know: 1) If your home is NJ or VA, sure, vote there this year! 2) Otherwise, register here for 2025 and you can register back in your home state for 2026.

AI, tariffs, DOGE, the budget reconciliation bill, and the current government shutdown are not separate, discrete causes of job losses. 1/2

David Adler, on Yom Kippur from the Global Sumud Flotilla, before he was detained by Israel:

Andrew Cuomo's whole campaign feels like Jeb Bush's "please clap" moment.

It is wild to me as a primary care doctor that for concierge medicine and direct primary care practices, panel sizes are 200-600, while for the rest of people it's 1600-2000.

100%. Wonder epitomizes America in 2025. Slop. Enshittification. The hollowing out of anything that was good.

Doing what's necessary.

Healthcare Workers for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social let's go!

Prior authorizations sound "rational" but are a bureaucratic mess. They create frustration that reduces even care we all agree is appropriate. And avoidance, delays, and interruptions of needed care is harmful and deadly. From Don Berwick + @andreaducas.bsky.social:

Projectors playing the South Park episode on buildings in every town across the country including on every federal and Trump building...

"Although states cannot fully neutralize the impending Medicaid cuts, they have tools to scuttle the Trump administration’s efforts. Reining in excessive prices allows states to sustain Medicaid funding and even increase federal dollars flowing into the state."

This far right, McCarthyism bullshit by Columbia is a new low from an already very low place. As an alum, I tell anyone considering training or working at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social to stay away from this place of moral and academic rot. Via @columbiabds.bsky.social

Not just young people! I spoke with a few dozen of my Jewish neighbors in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who opposed Cuomo and supported Mamdani. Some were moral clarity voters, others wanted a Democratic party that was fresh and energetic. Either way, it was great to see!

“I don’t want to be taxed $622 per year for roads. I want the freedom to pay twice that to profiteering private road companies, even if that means surprise bills and literal gatekeeping. No more communist roads!”

When @corybooker.com did the longest filibuster in history, he said: "This is a moral moment. It’s not left or right; it’s right or wrong” Months later, here he is, doing a photo-op with a perpetrator of genocide. Words and deeds matter, and when they don't align, we see you!

Reinstate these pediatricians who were fired for union organizing!

An empire in decay?! Would an empire in decay have accomplishments like this!?! Heroes like this?!?!

Acts and omissions are morally equal. So while I’m appalled by what Republicans just did cutting Medicaid and more, I’m actually equally appalled by the powerful people and orgs who could have won this very winnable fight, but who utterly failed to even mount the kind of response that was needed.

Not on Medicaid? These cuts could still affect you. – Your hospital closes – Your hospital closes some services – Your hospital is understaffed – Your nurses and doctors are burnt out – Your wait time is longer – Your insurance rates go up

This whole administration is “pump and dump” but for politics

NYT: "Should (or Could) Trump replace Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial?"

Obama must endorse Zohran Mamdani if he cares about: – party unity – bringing in young voters – bringing in working class voters – winning against Trump and other fascists

NEW: 115 healthcare workers in California are unionizing with @nuhw.org

“Patients should ‘vote with their feet’ if UH continues punitive response to unionization efforts” www.cleveland.com/letters/2025...

god damn he's cooking

You misspeak a word or a phrase or maybe a claim. You don't misspeak a many minutes long rant. That's you doing a bad thing which you now understand to be wrong and regrettable and you'd like to apologize. Shame on you @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Dr Lauren Beene and Dr Val Fouts-Fowler were fired from University Hospitals of Cleveland for working to provide a voice for physicians to improve patient care. I know them to be exemplary pediatricians who are fierce advocates for children’s health and their community. Stand with them.

(While salivating about the new frontiers in healthcare profiteering) This right wing think tank bro is just asking tough questions about strength of evidence on Medicaid saving lives.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

I rarely donate to politicians but I just excitedly gave to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! There's 8:1 matching for NYC residents, so $250 (the max) becomes $2,250. If you want politics of sincerity and seriousness, will you give what you can? Reply if you donate to build energy on here!

The rightwing and centrist response to Mamdani will be sowing doubt and fear "NYC won't be safe for Jews" "Socialist bust like Brandon Johnson" But Mamdani has a positive vision of a NYC thriving for all, is serious about details, and will be a serious city manager more like Michelle Wu

Big money politics can be beaten by people power and a bold, positive vision.

Andrew Cuomo abandoned his dog, he definitely would abandon you

Stay cool and don't rank Cuomo

My ranks: Mayor 1) Mamdani 2) Lander 3) Adrienne Adams 4) Myrie 5) Blake Manhattan Borough Pres 1) Hoylman-Sigal 2) Powers Public Advocate 1) Williams Comptroller 1) Brannan 2) Levine DA Bragg City Council 7: 1) Edafe Okporo 2) Tiffany Khan 3) Shaun Abreu

University Hospitals is trying to fire Drs. Lauren Beene and Valerie Fouts-Fowler for union organizing to improve work conditions and make patient care more safe. This is unacceptable. We must stand with them. Please sign and share this petition to show support and to push UH to reinstate them.

Another corrupt liar endorses Cuomo

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Bill Clinton endorses Cuomo. How many sexual predators – desperate for relevance and seeing something of themselves in him – have rallied behind Cuomo now?

Cuomo is the only actual antisemite running for NYC mayor
