We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

My statement on the Trump administration's illegal military actions and the wars that must end.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran. Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life. As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

ICYMI: "Andrew Cuomo should be scared. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is a serious contender who is surging in the polls and seems to be peaking at just the right time." — @nicholsuprising.bsky.social via @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a once-in-a-generation leader who has led the fight for working people in Congress. In 2018, she shocked the world and transformed our politics. On June 24, with @aoc.bsky.social’s support and this movement behind us, we will do the same.

“We need new elected leaders who are not afraid to pick a side — politicians who will put workers over corporate donors every single time. That’s why our union is proud to support Zohran Mamdani and a ranked slate of pro-worker champions for Mayor.” – UAW President Shawn Fain. youtu.be/X0yt01RJMuQ

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Study Finds Growing Gap Between America's Rich and Super-Rich

When you’re the first Muslim elected official to run for mayor, people say some pretty wild things.

🚨 This Friday at 6pm ET, our co-chair Danny Valdes (@through.blog) joins Hasan Piker's stream with Dr. Jose Villamarin, former Natl Coordinator of the Cuban Medical Brigade in Jamaica to talk medical missions, the U.S. blockade, and how you can get involved to fight it!

Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost. Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

@allthingsopen.bsky.social day 2! I spent 30 minutes waiting in line for parking.

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids. The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids. "Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel. Sigh.

Oh I did not know Dropbox still did referrals and also how did someone get my referral link? It's been like a decade since I last used Dropbox.

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

These 10 Dem Senators sold out. Schumer [NY] 202-224-6542 Cortez-Masto [NV] 202-224-3542 Durbin [IL] 202-224-2152 Fetterman [PA] 202-224-4254 Gillibrand [NY] 202-224-4451 Hassan [NH] 202-224-3324 King [ME] 202-224-5344 Peters [MI] 202-224-6221 Schatz [HI] 202-224-3934 Shaheen [NH] 202-224-2841

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Anyone have the list of the Dem Senators that need to be primary'd?

Congrats @aoc.bsky.social on being the first to reach 2 million followers on Bluesky!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Today I confronted “border czar” Tom Homan who came to Albany to do Trump’s bidding — push for mass deportations, carry out the assault on working class New Yorkers, and justify the unjustifiable detention of legal permanent resident and father-to-be, Mahmoud Khalil.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil
