when people wonder how revolutions could possibly happen, it’s almost always after centrists spitefully lock progressives & leftists out of the existing system as fascism comes barreling towards all of them.

Adrienne Adams, current speaker of the New York City Council. Loads of experience, endorsed by the @nywfp.bsky.social along with Mamdani, Lander, and Myrie.
I ranked her #3.

The great Brad Lander. Current NYC comptroller, long time progressive, straight up hero for standing up for immigrants and getting arrested by ICE.
I ranked Lander #2.

It is hard to express enough how terrible today's decision is.
ICE will now send people to countries they've never been to or even heard of — Mexicans to South Sudan, Vietnamese to Libya, Venezuelans to Kosovo —and those people will have no right to challenge that decision.

Prevent child heatstroke deaths. A child can die from heatstroke in minutes.
From NHTSA: A sweltering heat wave is affecting millions of Americans this week. 🔥🌡️ Protect yourself and your child in the back seat! It's NEVER safe to leave them alone in a vehicle.
This is how quickly a car heats up.
