Andrew Cuomo is running for Eric Adams’ second term: the same donors, the same agenda, the same chaos. But I believe New Yorkers are hungry for a different kind of politics—one that puts working people first.

Billionaires like Bezos are terrified that people will learn the truth: the rich and powerful run our political system and only the organized working class can overthrow them

In the world’s richest city, making the minimum wage shouldn’t mean living in poverty. As Mayor, I'll work with City Council to raise the wage floor to $30/hour by 2030. When working people have more money in their pocket, the whole economy thrives.

Post-Election Statement The results of the special election are in and the people have spoken: build more social housing and make big business pay! And not by a narrow margin, the latest count has Prop 1A at 58.24% ahead of Prop 1B at 41.76%!

Huge props to all of our comrades who worked on the #Prop1A campaign. Hours upon hours working with @houseourneighbors.bsky.social on canvassing, phone banking, postering, and more led to a monumental WIN for the people of Seattle. Billion dollar corps can't buy the people's vote.

"As Trump's tyrannical power grabs spark outrage, there's hope. Traveling the country as co-chair of [DSA], I hear a common trend in every conversation. What people want are fighters. People who will fight for them, their families, their co-workers, and their communities."

Since Trump's election, many Democratic pundits & elites have indicated it's time to stand down. They think the “Resistance” of protest movements from 2016-2020 went too far, & people should now fight less hard. I call these people "The Desistance”— they’re wrong! www.newsweek.com/anti-trump-r...

NEW ✍️ from me at @groundworkdsa.com! "The AOC Question" isn’t just about AOC—it’s about how DSA engages w/ the officials we elect. Too often, engagement is reduced to calls for “accountability” that isolate instead of organize. Let’s build, act like a party and co-govern effectively.

DSA chapters should organize for & expect regular public engagement with elected officials they endorse — it’s an important part of collective organization & building toward co-governance against a hostile establishment. Looking forward to seeing what’s discussed here
