I wrote about the East River Park reconstruction effort and the broader East Side Coastal Resiliency project, expected to be completed in 2027, for @social.architectural-review.com new “Coast” issue.
‘Situated within a 100‑year floodplain, the park is set to protect 110,000 New Yorkers,’ writes Peter Lucas
on the East Side Coastal Resiliency project in New York City by BIG and Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects.

Socialist elected officials on stage.
I'm so proud to have organized, fought and won alongside my friends and fellow elected officials in @socialists.nyc.
11th hour fear mongering is just entirely racism, Islamophobia, and red-baiting from Team Cuomo
andrew cuomo is now demanding shirtless pics of Zohran Mamdani to make sure he doesn't have "GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA" tattooed across his back. just as well, mr. cuomo is offering up shirtless photos of himself, free of charge.
I listened to the Lorentzen pod about OBAA and I was like goddamn the other guy on this pod is really dumb. Turned out to be the guy who wrote the Vanity Fair McCarthy piece lol
Watching horror movies is one of the many great joys of Halloween Season
Bernie Sanders on out-of-touch Democratic Party leadership:
“… the Mamdani campaign is a crystallization of that. And if the Democratic leadership can’t support the Democratic nominee, what is the Democratic Party? Who’s the Democratic Party?”

Remarkable conversation between Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani about what it means to be a mayor and how cities can lead in the struggle for economic and social and racial justice.
Full video here:
Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist member of the Wisconsin legislature, responded to Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic primary wIn in NYC by saying there needed to be more candidates like him.
Today, she announced that she’s running for the Democratic nomination to be Wisconsin’s next governor.
I spoke with @omarfatehmn.com about his campaign for mayor, recent attempts by party insiders to undermine him, and how to fight back against Trump. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...
“At a time when people are hungry for bold change across the country, we need to support, not silence, progressive candidates. Zohran Mamdani’s victory in NY was a testament to the people-powered campaign voters are craving.”
— US Rep Ilhan Omar on why top Democrats should embrace progressives
“They Will Attack Every Organized Worker in America”
A powerful warning from the head of the largest federal employees union.
Trump’s attacking federal workers and their unions now. But it’s only a matter of time before the most anti-labor president in history attacks every union—and every worker.
Why does Trump attack Mamdani? Because, Mamdani says, “We will actually deliver on those commitments (to serve working people). And our delivery on them will throw his betrayal into stark relief. That is a threat to his politics, and it motivates so much of this language and this focus that he has.”
For those who are in any doubt over my position: I’m not interested in bombs. I’m interested in peace.

Billionaires financed primary attacks on Zohran Mamdani’s democratic socialism.
Mamdani embraced the label and explained what it meant.
When the votes were counted, he won a sweeping 56-44 victory.
New Yorkers are not afraid of Mamdani — or his vision for a future that serves the working class.
In the election to be New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani is waging war on the city’s establishment and capturing the public’s imagination in the process. Will it be enough to succeed?
Campaigners numbering in the tens of thousands have spread out over the city to knock on more than one million doors, flyer street corners and early voting sites, and even take to the East River by boat.

HOW TO STAND UP TO TRUMP
(NYC Mayor Primary Edition)
RIGHT: Zohran Mamdani
“Donald Trump’s… unconstitutional military action represents a dark new chapter in his endless betrayals that now threaten to plunge the world deeper into chaos.”
WRONG: Andrew Cuomo
“I think the world is a safer place.”
Why Bernie Sanders Says It’s Critical to Elect Mamdani and Reject Cuomo
Speaking to The Nation, the senator hails the “grassroots movement supporting Zohran” as a vital alternative to “the billionaire establishment supporting Cuomo.”
Republicans and Dems find common ground in telling Trump:
No War With Iran!
Republican Thomas Massie: “This is not our war.. . I’m introducing a War Powers Resolution tomorrow to prohibit our involvement. I invite all members of Congress to cosponsor this resolution.”
Democrat AOC: “Signing on!”
