Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

"As a person of color living in New York City under the age of 30—with all my dreams of being able to afford to live here—his winning makes me feel like that’s actually possible." @serenaalin.bsky.social reports from inside Zohran Mamdani's jubilant watch party in Queens.

I'll say it again. People want their elected leaders to lower the cost of housing. Ban digital price fixing. Build more affordable housing. Help first-time homebuyers. Go after greedy corporations illegally raising rent. I have bills to get these things done. Let's pass them.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

“Taken together, Mamdani’s responsibly costed economic policies form a coherent agenda that rejects austerity and embraces the city’s power to make life more affordable for New Yorkers.”

I doubt there's a single undecided voter in NYC who cares what Jim Clyburn thinks but its a good indication of the desperation and "all hands on deck" push coming from the establishment to make sure they rescue Cuomo's incompetent campaign and prevent a progressive from becoming mayor.

Violence against women should be disqualifying for holding public office. It should have been disqualifying for Trump, and it should be disqualifying for Cuomo. And if you come at me saying that sexual harassment isn’t really violence against women… Don’t.

The fact that so many people think celebrating the end of slavery in the US is “DEI” is actually clarifying of what they mean when they use DEI. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

Juneteenth honors the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. If that offends you, it says more about you than it does about the holiday. Outrage at Juneteenth is itself an outrage.

So…here’s what I’m thinking. #ICE has got. To. BE. STOPPED! Con le buone o le cattive (as we say in Italy, “with good manners or bad!” 😒 But ICE has GOT to be STOPPED! And it’s basically a question of getting organized to help your neighbors. There are apps being born… 🧵 laist.com/news/politic...

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something... My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

All of these things should be public utilities. These are the things government should exist to do. Some things simply shouldn't be for-profit endeavors. Providing clean, safe water should not be done for profit. Keeping lights on should not be for profit. Healthcare should not be for profit.
