Considering how many have called for raising taxes for the rich, this framing ("if Mamdani gets his way") seems designed just to make him look like a big, bad Socialist mastermind.

Nope, he's just trying to fulfill the will of the people.

Southeast Queens is too often neglected by the Left, but change is coming here tooβ€”through Oster Bryan.

I've known Oster since 2017. For decades, he's been rooted in principled Leftist + Black liberationist struggle.

Friends, please join me in becoming a Day-1 supporter of @osterforus.bsky.social.

I saw that @socialists.nyc is considering endorsing David Orkin, formerly of CUNY Clear and a lawyer at Make the Road, for District 38 NYS Assembly. I live in this district and a challenger is sorely needed to un-elect one of the most useless elected officials in American history

@votejgr.bsky.social is WFP's first state senate primary endorsement for 2026.

SD-13 is a battleground between the Left and the neoliberal establishment. JGR is committed to co-governing with the organized Left.

So true. I'd just add: the ascent in influenceβ€”from the lowest rung on the proverbial ladder of engagement to the many of the most powerful organizational roles in the cityβ€”is much flatter than many tend to assume. But the catch, and the key, is to engage consistently and as part of an organization.

I don't know retiring CUNY Vice Chancellor Jeff Rodus, but I much appreciate what he says to NYC Council Higher Ed Committee Chair Eric Dinowitz about paid internships and faculty sovereignty over curriculum. Happy Thanksgiving to VC Rodus and happy retirement, too! youtu.be/phPRRv8B9y4

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
