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.

Outside of Eric Adams, no single elected official has done more damage to NYC than New York’s #1 Nepo Baby, Andrew Cuomo. Here’s the proof 🧵

En toute hypothèse Zelensky a ÊtÊ courageux. Sans son aplomb, notre continent afficherait un statut de simple colonie des USA dont les chefs vont se taper dans le dos avec leur copain Trump.

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban. It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture. Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes. CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

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

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago. Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

“Our platform is resonating because people see themselves in it. Politics too often requires translation. It sounds like a five-step process where you struggle to understand how it’s relevant to your life. People deserve to understand how your policies impact them.”

*Musk pushed for removal of FAA head that regulates one of his businesses *Planes crash *Musk says he will help FAA *FAA ends up purchasing products from another of Musk's businesses

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

I’m not religious or anything but thank all of the gods and goddesses and spirits for the neighborhood Mexican restaurants who still do margaritas to go

I just know the Vatican PR team is sweating the possibility of the pope dying while Conclave is still being talked about

just saying, if you get a text to fill out a survey... do it. i just got sent a wild one asking leading questions about my opinions on RFK's anti-vaccine stuff, trans rights and healthcare, public schools, and climate change. they really trying to word these things so they're skewed.

Kentucky would weaken its workplace safety protections to make the state more “business friendly” under a bill backed by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce that’s advancing to the House floor.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

New from my team: for the same volume of energy transition minerals it would take to make all of the Pentagon's non-combat vehicles into EVs, we could electrify the entire Postal Service, the entire Parks Service, and put battery backup on more than 7600 federal buildings. 🧵

Hey SOB, what about "an injury to one is an injury to all"? Some kind of "solidarity" you got there...

If you belong to a profession that has been historically composed of people resistant to thinking of themselves as "workers," now might be a good time to change that.

NYC-DSA member @nycmayorofficial.bsky.social wrote about Eric Adams’s shady deal with the Trump administration—dodging federal corruption charges by backing harsh immigration policies—sparking political chaos and attacking the very fabric of New York City. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If you missed tonight’s town hall with @naomiaklein.bsky.social, @chenjerai.bsky.social, @astra.bsky.social, and @keeanga.bsky.social on resisting the shock and awe politics of the far right and their billionaire enthusiasts, you can watch the video here:

Every union should be echoing this statement.

Aviation’s first responders save lives. Listen to your Flight Attendants.

There's a union out there called AFSCME and they're busting their balls for you doing a lot of shit work you take for granted

packing all of my books also means i'm reminded of all the books i intend to read one day someday eventually

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.

personally I think Kendrick should have looked directly into the camera and changed the lyrics of "Not Like Us" into a political treatise explaining his exact position on both separation of powers and the immortal science of dialectical materialism. missed opportunity tbh

"What people want are fighters. People who will fight for them, their families, their co-workers, and their communities. That's why as Democratic enthusiasm crumbles, and pundits lower expectations, organizations like DSA, with no corporate funders to answer to, keep growing."
