The two-party doom loop is tearing America apart. The solution? Strange as it may sound, more parties are the answer. #FusionVoting allows new parties that matter to form—creating incentives for cooperation, compromise & real democracy. Let’s fix the system, not abandon it. #ElectionReform

Passover is a story about the future — one that we create through our actions today. This Pesach, we’re freeing ourselves from the oppressive conditions created by modern, would-be Pharaohs — Cuomo, Trump, and Adams — and dreaming of a future where ALL New Yorkers have dignity. #SederInTheStreets

How can elected officials intervene in the NYC mayor's race to defeat Cuomo? By endorsing a progressive-Left slate. @emilyassembly.bsky.social has set the model standard here, doing so both collectively and individually. As constituents, our task is now to urge our own reps to follow Emily's lead.

CAAAV Voice is in my view one of NYC's best orgs, for it demonstrates Leftist power-building at its best: a clear multi-racial working-class vision, assessment of conditions, and strategy to guide its member-recruitment + campaigns; steady political ed; and an unshakable commitment to base-building.

@billfletcherjr.bsky.social is right: the differences in how different sections of organized labor are responding to MAGA – as either collaborators, ostriches, or resisters – reflects central differences in understanding the kind of moment we're in and what types of strategy are therefore required.

It’s true @jumaane.bsky.social - since the 2021 tax increases on millionaires, the number of millionaires and billionaires in New York has continued to grow. Meanwhile working class families continue to leave our state because of a lack of affordability. We can tax the rich & #InvestInOurNY!

The electeds’ newfound support for Cuomo is cowardly and a slap in the face to government workers, especially their own staff. We already have a self-serving, narcissistic, sexual harasser abusing taxpayer money in the White House. We sure as hell don’t need another one in City Hall.

Striking an optimal balance between purity and power is hard. Within DSA, debate on this strategic question often centers around notions of 'independence.' @atgenevieve.bsky.social intervenes in this discourse brilliantly, explaining, how at its best, 'independence' still entails interdependence.

Cuomo the abuser is just one man, but the cowardice of leaders who won’t speak up against him says everything about our era. Fascism isn’t a one party trend. It’s a hateful and cowardly tendency that relies on humanity’s worst predilections. Don’t be fooled.
